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.

  3. Fader
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 20 days ago

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

    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
      12 years, 20 days ago

      If true I'm betting on Burnley

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 20 days ago

        you'll lose.

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      Apparently Keane and Blackett were good last week.

      1. Fader
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 20 days 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
          12 years, 20 days ago

          Man United defense is worst in top 10 😛

        2. Jax
          • 16 Years

          2-0 man u. bookmark this.

    4. Demí
      • 15 Years

      It's just a prediction

    5. Zep
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

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

    6. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      Livescore are awful at lineup predictions

      1. Zombie
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 20 days ago

        this

        They guessed Aguero gonna start last week

    7. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

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

      1. andyinasia
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 20 days 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
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 20 days ago

          On the other hand

          Di Maria Starts!

    8. kraftwerker
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      That's an absolutely terrible prediction.

  5. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 20 days 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
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      The key word here is Eredivisie.

    2. Kerrazy
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      Exciting stats against likes of feyenoord.

    3. Setting the Toney
      • 15 Years

      Beast.

    4. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Wasn't he also Dutch player of the year ?

      1. Setting the Toney
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 20 days ago

        Yes

  6. Fader
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 20 days ago

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

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      costa is 10.5 as rooney

    2. Sting
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      Costa fell to 10.5

  7. The Joker
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 20 days ago

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

  8. Chief
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 20 days ago

    Sanchez (c)

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

    1. MK Don
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 20 days 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
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      We'll played

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      I (c) Sanchez last week

      Didn't go well

  9. MK Don
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 20 days ago

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

    PS MK Dons 4 - 0 United 🙂

    Come on Burnley 🙂

    1. mohit thekop
      • 12 Years

      well i did d same to could be a masterstroke 😉

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

      1. SwissWavey
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah, but Coventry are pretty good

        1. Jax
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 20 days ago

          +100000

      2. MK Don
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 20 days 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
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 20 days ago

          Sorry, I meant De Gea and Evans !

        2. Jax
          • 16 Years

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

  10. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years

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

    11. Ben Mee Over A Table
      • 13 Years

      They look silly.

  11. smash
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 20 days 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
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

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

      1. smash
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah thats a worry lol

    2. MK Don
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 20 days 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
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 20 days ago

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

    3. The60ftoctopus
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      What does the rest of your team look like?

    4. SwissWavey
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

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

  12. Mitchacho
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 20 days ago

    Captaining De Jong, like a boss...

    1. Wouter
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. Sarnab
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 20 days ago

      He won't start, Pardew said

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 15 Years

        Did he really ?!

        I put it on him last night in a moment of genius/madness and can't remember if I took it off again.

    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.

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

    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!
