The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 35

In our weekly attempt to get the better of Paddy, we turn to three of the current top six ahead of favourable games against a trio of relegation candidates. Once again, we look to the Scout Picks for inspiration and place our faith in a couple of in-form midfielders and City’s fit-again talisman as Manuel Pellegrini’s side attempt to recover from their disappointing home draw with Sunderland.

We get underway at White Hart Lane on Saturday lunchtime, where Tottenham entertain London neighbours Fulham. Paddy are offering 6/1 on Christian Eriksen to score and Spurs to register a clean sheet. Given that the Dane has scored four times in as many matches, there’s every chance he’ll get amongst the goals against Felix Magath’s brittle backline – Spurs have been a little suspect at the back in recent matches but we’re happy to hand Paddy £3 of our kitty.

Next up, we target Liverpool’s trip to Carrow Road on Sunday afternoon as the visitors look for an eleventh successive victory. Paddy are offering 9/2 on Steven Gerrard to score and the Merseysiders to keep out their opponents. The Reds skipper has netted five times in his last four away games in a run that has seen Brendan Rodgers’ side deliver a couple of shut-outs and, with Norwich failing to score in each of their last three, we make this our favoured bet of the week and stick £4 on it.

Our final £3 is kept for Monday’s crucial clash at the Etihad. Having taken a single point from two matches in the previous Gameweek, City’s home game with West Brom is a must-win for Manuel Pellegrini’s charges. Paddy are willing to offer 9/2 on Sergio Aguero to score twice and City to keep out the Baggies. The Argentine has notched nine times in 10 home appearances this term and with City expected to attack from the first whistle to get their title bid back on track, we’re willing to part with our final £3 for this one.

    What would you do with this lot?

    Boruc
    Coleman, Ivanovic, Fonte
    Silva, Nasri, Mata, Januzaj
    Aguero, Suarez, Lukaku

    Mannone. Barkley, Ward, Mariappa

    Have already taken a -4 this week but thinking of more hits

    A) Stick with current team
    B) Barkley > Sterling & Lukaku > Rooney for -12 total

    Any advice would be great!!!

        That looks good to me. I'd do the Sturridge transfer, and hope Silva will play next week and the double. Like Rooney, and not sure about Lambert with Rodriguez out. Adebayor?

    anyone for Podolski? Arsenal have favorable run-in and he tends to shine in the big tournaments, so is getting into form

      Flair punt. I like it. He's a quality player. Only concern is does he lose his place to ozil?
