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.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

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.

    Rooney captain and if it doesn't comes off .... Well it's going to be a long weekend

  3. Fader
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I got a feeling Rooney will do sweet FA in an hour and abit. I got him but not as a captain.

  4. andyinasia

    Team news (dunno how reliable)

    According to @livescorercom, @ManUtd XI : DeGea, Evans, Kean, Blackett, Jones, Mata, Young, Fletcher, Valencia, Rooney, Van Persie

    [nightmare at the back, no DiM starting]

    According to @livescorercom, @BurnleyOfficial XI : Heaton, Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee, Marney, Jones, Taylor, Arfield, Ings, Jutkiewicz

      I'm fairly sure they just guess the team.

    2. Fader
      12 years, 2 months ago

      If true I'm betting on Burnley

      1. Jax
        12 years, 2 months ago

        you'll lose.

    3. Jax
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Apparently Keane and Blackett were good last week.

      1. Fader
        12 years, 2 months ago

        lol, Burnley will score and man united can't get the ball to the frontmen. 2-1 burnley or 1-1

        1. Fader
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Man United defense is worst in top 10 😛

        2. Jax
          12 years, 2 months ago

          2-0 man u. bookmark this.

    4. Demí
      12 years, 2 months ago

      It's just a prediction

    5. Zep
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I didn't expect AdM to start tbh...

    6. Bubz
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Livescore are awful at lineup predictions

      1. Zombie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        this

        They guessed Aguero gonna start last week

    7. Evs

      I'll be VERY shocked if Dai Maria doesn't start after LVG comments.

      1. andyinasia
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn't. He won't know the system yet - esp since his team mates don't either. He'll come on in the 2nd half.

        1. andyinasia
          12 years, 2 months ago

          On the other hand

          Fantasy EPL Scout ‏@FantasyEPLScout 1m

          Di Maria Starts!

    8. kraftwerker
      12 years, 2 months ago

      That's an absolutely terrible prediction.

  5. Your Mum's Athletic
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1 - Daley Blind made the most passes (2089), interceptions (74) and tackles (77) of all Ajax players last Eredivisie season. Transcendent.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      12 years, 2 months ago

      The key word here is Eredivisie.

    2. Kerrazy
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Exciting stats against likes of feyenoord.

    3. Setting the Toney
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Beast.

    4. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Wasn't he also Dutch player of the year ?

      1. Setting the Toney
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

  6. Fader
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I've kept 0.1m in the bank to swap Rooney - > Costa 😛

    1. drughi
      12 years, 2 months ago

      costa is 10.5 as rooney

    2. Sting
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Costa fell to 10.5

  7. The Joker
    12 years, 2 months ago

    When do teams come out for Burnley vs MU? 10 minutes?

  8. Chief
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez (c)

    I almost faltered and gave the captaincy to Rooney, but I remained steadfast.

    1. MK Don
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez is a different shout I must say. Thing is I reckon Leicester could be a pretty decent team at home this season.

      I have gone Silva

    2. n-doggg
      12 years, 2 months ago

      We'll played

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I (c) Sanchez last week

      Didn't go well

  9. MK Don
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Silva as captain today.....could be a good differential

    PS MK Dons 4 - 0 United 🙂

    Come on Burnley 🙂

    1. mohit thekop
      12 years, 2 months ago

      well i did d same to could be a masterstroke 😉

    2. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 2 months ago

      🙂

    3. Jax
      12 years, 2 months ago

      you beat man u reserves well done. couldn't beat coventry last week though.

      1. SwissWavey
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, but Coventry are pretty good

        1. Jax
          12 years, 2 months ago

          +100000

      2. MK Don
        12 years, 2 months ago

        True...but Coventry are a decent team !

        It was not United's first choice team, though did have first choicers in De Gea and Jones, with Wellbeck / Hernandez / Anderson / Janujaz featuring too

        But that is not the point...even United's reserves ought to be much better than League One standard 🙂

        truth is, we simply played them off the park...and United did care...when we went 3-0 up, De Gea angrily smashed the ball in his net

        1. MK Don
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry, I meant De Gea and Evans !

        2. Jax
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Am only joshing with ya mate. was a terrific result. Karl Rob has done a great job.

  10. Heydudes13
    12 years, 2 months ago

    My team may or may not be shittier than yours, but at least I have an extra FT over you. 🙂

    1. Captain Shirokov

      Mint.

    5. Zep

      It's a race to get the best seat in the changing room...

    6. Francescoli

        Yep

    9. Parm

      Adm looks like jaques Brel s ugly cousin.

    11. Ben Mee Over A Table
      12 years, 2 months ago

      They look silly.

  11. smash
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Ended up with an expensive 'Costa - Aguero - Rooney' frontline, easy to downgrade and spread the cash about though, anyone else got the same?

    1. Tin of Directors
      12 years, 2 months ago

      That will be expensive if Costa and Kun don't start.

      1. smash
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah thats a worry lol

    2. MK Don
      12 years, 2 months ago

      very much tempted, but settled for Costa and Rooney in the end....spread Aguero's £ around - such as getting Silva who is 3m cheaper and just as good a player as Aguero, if not better

      1. Gr3g
        12 years, 2 months ago

        You know that we need points, not good players...

    3. The60ftoctopus
      12 years, 2 months ago

      What does the rest of your team look like?

    4. SwissWavey
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I was 2 mins away from having Aguero, RvP and Jovetic. Did some last minute panic WC transfers though.

  12. Mitchacho
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Captaining De Jong, like a boss...

    1. Wouter
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nice! Will be a great differential just having him, let alone captaining him if he performs.

    2. Sarnab
      12 years, 2 months ago

      He won't start, Pardew said

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Did he really ?!

        1. Sarnab

  22. NATSTER
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I couldn't make my mind to activate WC before first international break.

    So, i've absorbed -12pts hits with hope of big points for my Jovetic (c) to off-set the hits.

    Already prepared for any unexpected results though.

    1. Francescoli
      12 years, 2 months ago

      woi

    2. RyanC
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Bold! You need Jov to score 12 points just to break even. Good luck!

  23. toluthadon

    Looks like it comes down to two things this game week. Those who played it safe and those who like to roll the dice...I played it safe!

    1. Ole Gunnar Kush
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero (c) here

      1. Kowalski
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I would say that is a roll of the dice but a good one!
