The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 36

We look to the Scout Picks for inspiration in our weekly attempt to get the better of Paddy. A couple of in-form north London-based midfielders are called upon, whilst we also target United’s home clash against Norwich as a potential source of profit in light of David Moyes’ dismissal.

Our first port of call is the Britannia on Saturday afternoon as Stoke prepare for the visit of Tim Sherwood’s Tottenham. Paddy are offering 10/1 on Christian Eriksen to score and for Spurs to register a clean sheet. Given that the Dane has scored four times in his last five appearances, there’s every chance he’ll get amongst the goals as Sherwood’s side look to go on the attack, but with the visitors struggling to keep out their opponents in recent weeks, we hand over £3 of our kitty.

Next up, United’s home encounter with Norwich takes on a whole new significance after they sacked David Moyes earlier in the week. Paddy are offering 13/2 on Wayne Rooney to score two or more and the Old Trafford outfit to keep the Canaries at bay. With interim-manager Ryan Giggs certain to go on the attack after a series of cagey displays under the previous man in charge, Rooney could be in the goals once again – he’s bagged a brace in two of his last five, and with the Canaries netting in only one of their previous four, we’re more than happy to stick £3 on this one.

Our final game is Monday evening’s encounter at the Emirates, as Arsenal prepare for the visit of Newcastle. Paddy are willing to offer 4/1 on Aaron Ramsey to score and for the Gunners to keep out the out-of-form Magpies. Given that the Welshman was amongst the goals in last week’s win over Hull and that Alan Pardew’s side have failed to score in five of their last six road trips, we make this our bet of the week and hand Paddy our remaining £4.

    This week I would have been happy going with Suarez, Aguero or Mata I think.

    Ok help me out here!

    I'm chasing no. 1 in my ml; 59 points behind as it stands (was over 120 3 weeks ago). So I need to make up 20 points per week to win (unlikely, but i'm on track so far!).

    I know he has Ramsey captain this week.

    I know the general idea is that if you're chasing, go for a riskier option. But I believe I have the better team and importantly, I aim to have 7DGW players for next week, he currently has 0..

    Do I play it safe and stick with Rambo? Or do I go for one of Suarez/Aguero/Mata? He has neither Aguero nor Mata so if they score big I'm going to gain on him regardless of the captaincy..

        haha I know. Spent too long writing that up!

        Switched from Aguero to Ramsey just in time. Playing it safe and trusting in my team to outscore him elsewhere.

          Good choice. Differentials can work both ways. If the player is on form you have to cover.

          Very few people happy about having differentials instead of Suarez or Yaya this season.

    Didn´t remember that van Gaal almost managed to get relegated with Barca. I didn´t even think that was possible.

    "Van Gaal returned to Barcelona for the start of the 2002–03 season, but results were inconsistent. After four wins, four draws and three defeats from their opening 11 league matches, Barcelona lost three matches in a row, to Real Sociedad, relegation-threatened Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla. Two wins and a draw improved things but after successive defeats to Valencia and Celta de Vigo, he was sacked in January 2003 with the club just three points above the relegation zone."

      No choice, blew my budget on Suarez, Aguero, Rooney frontline.

      Can just about get Nasri in if I further dilute my weak weak backline.
