The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 3

We go up against Paddy with a tenner in hand once again and seek inspiration from the Scout Picks and Differentials in our attempt to bring home the cash.

We start at Loftus Road where QPR welcome Sunderland later this afternoon. Scout Pick Steven Caulker has already registered six attempts inside the box in just two appearances, and with Paddy prepared to offer 20/1 on a Caulker goal and QPR clean sheet, we’re willing to place our faith in his attacking instincts and shell out £3 for the Loftus Road encounter.

Next stop is the Etihad, where champions City take on Stoke. Having scored twice from the bench in recent matches, we’re going to stick our necks out and back Sergio Aguero to deliver yet again. The Argentine is pushing for a start against the Potters, and with Paddy offering 6/1 on Aguero to score two or more and City to chalk up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the Gameweek, throwing £4 their way.

Our final £3 is kept for West Ham’s home match against Southampton. Summer signing Mauro Zarate grabbed a goal on his first start last weekend, and with Kevin Nolan injured, looks to have nailed down the role in “the hole” for Sam Allardyce’s side. Paddy are offering a massive 50/1 for the little Argentine to score two or more and for the hosts to keep a clean sheet – we fancy a punt on this one and part company with our final £3.

If you’re new to Paddy Power, you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up on this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

      Colback has the mentality of a crab. Always sideways and backwards.

      Worry of course Costa gets a 1 pointer and Colback (English Pirlo) 🙂 delivers

        The fact hodgson actually said ginger Pirlo makes me think he's mentally ill.

    1. Planet Jo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Davies of Hull? (surely not Spurs)

  3. Manilaman
    • 14 Years

    Any news on whether Liverpool have a defence today?

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeap. Still shite.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I can confirm Liverpool will not have a defence today

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Tomorrow's defence, however, will probably be better than the ones we've played so far.

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rodgers always has a few excuses alright

    4. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool haven't had a defense since the beginning of last year when the posted those 1-0 wins while Suarez was suspended

    1. Notorious

        CS odds over attacking potential

    2. Sess!

      Clyne

      1. Art Vandelay

        1. ZiDan
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Have both and gone Hutton. Clean sheet more likely and just as attacking stats very good. West ham been very strong.

    3. Benteke10
      • 10 Years

    4. Planet Jo

    1. Dušan Citizen

      like I said above, either start costa or sell him

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This is his last match in my team 🙂 Getting Aguero instead of him today,so should I start him? Will he play from the start?

    2. Oi! Shadders!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Top two.

    3. t4thomas

      Costa Naismith

    4. Planet Jo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Play both forwards

      I just don't like Ferdinand - as a player, FPL machine or pundit

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ramsey captainers.do you really think he will score for a third game in a row.hope he does but can't see it happening.

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He might, but stats look at bit silly ATM... Shot to goal ratio is unsustainable.

    2. @BigChrisso
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If you can't see it don't go with it

    3. XhakaCan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, form + fixture, rested in midweek too.

  14. The Finnisher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Feck it.

    Aguero (C)

    1. LMNO
      • 14 Years

      who was 2nd choice?

      1. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        1. LMNO
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          great differential - I'm on board

      As long as your captaining him realising he'll be starting on the bench.

      1. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Manuel?

      2. LMNO
        • 14 Years

        will he?

        1. Sess!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          If Dzeko is fit.....why would he drop either him of jovetic given it's a relatively easy game. Longer he can wrap kun in cotton wool, the better.

    5. @BigChrisso
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hate captaining the best striker in the league.

      Double Feck!

    Good to go?

    Krul
    Caulker Clyne Janmaat
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Sterling

  20. SW6
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If you own Aguero do you have to captain him? Thinking about captaining Rooney instead.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      it's the law yes

    Things I know about Daley Blind:

    Holding/Defensive Mid last year and Dutch Footballer Of The Year.
    Has great hair.
    Claimed 2 assists and a goal at the World Cup.
    Can play left wing back.

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Players United should have bought

      Stefan De Vrij
      Bruno Martins Indi
      Gary Medel
      Mauricio Isla

      Totally £35M to £40M for those four

  25. Shiner
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Guys,

    Doing my nut here. WC played.

    Do i keep Jovetic for this week and captain him.

    or do i put Costa back in (i have the money) and Captain Rooney or Ramsey...?????

  26. mohit thekop
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    naismith or rooney??

  27. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Team locked. What do you think?

    Krul
    Terry/Hutton/C.Davies
    Sigurdsson/Ramsey/Eriksen/Fabregas
    Jovetic/Rooney(c)/Costa

    Subs: Foster/Lovren/Moore/Albrighton

    1. gravless
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      shite

  28. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    @ManUtd: Van Gaal tells #MUTV he expects "a lot of players" to be fit after the international break but is without 11 men (10 injured + Rojo) today.

    Why not to captain Rooney.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      those injured include fellaini, smalling and shaw

      probably make the team stronger without them?

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This is one reason but the main reason not to captain Rooney is LVG himself

  29. Zombie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Robertson or Williamson or Coloccini for Bruce ?

    Already got PvA

  30. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Is a WC next week to change 5-6 players a waste?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If 3 are bench players then yes.
