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.

      2. Hampe
        • 13 Years

  5. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Will Blind be a mid or def in FPL?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Probably a mid

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        from wiki
        During the 2013–14 season, Blind was played as a holding central midfielder and was named Dutch Footballer of the Year as Ajax won a fourth consecutive league title

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Def

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Good question......hopefully and probably def.

    4. El Reagano
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Primary positon is CDM plays CB & LB so i think its mid

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Defender

    6. MCH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Fingers crossed he is a def cpuld make him an option. Probably a mid though in which case he would be a terrible fpl pick! Hopefully they base it on the wc and not last season.

    “I’m one of the best players in the world in that No 10 position,’’ said Özil. “Fans, coaches, players and everyone knows that my best position is playmaker.

    “It’s different playing on the left. When I was in Madrid, I often played on the right. I enjoyed that because I’m left-footed and I was able to cut inside to give assists and get shots on target. On the left, it’s more difficult. If I do get past someone I’m still away from the danger zone, still on the flank, and it’s harder for me to find the final ball with my right foot than with my left."

    FYI.. if Ozil continues on the left, he comes 4th on our list of Ramsey, Walcott, Alexis and Ozil.

    1. tw

    1. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rio for me

  14. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Suddenly tempted by Dzeko(c)

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Reasons?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Handy fixture, I think he'll start, will match Stoke's physicality at the back

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You sniffing PvA?

    3. amol
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Went with Aguero

    4. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If he didn't flop last weekend, he'd be my favourite

  15. More Cowbell
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Best 5-5.5m option?

    1. tw
      • 14 Years

      1. More Cowbell
        • 16 Years

        Doh... Midfielder

    2. THE SQUARE ONE
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      midfielder? defender? goalie?

    3. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rodwell.

  16. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Quick poll.. no not a strawpoll
    Jovetic or Ramsey for the armband?

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Jovetic

    2. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 11 Years

      Jovetic

    3. Greenbackbøøg…

      jove

    4. Vardy Gras PBFC

      11 years, 7 months ago

      Jovetic

  17. Ed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else going Ramsey(C)?

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He has to stop scoring soon.....doesn't he?

    2. Chief
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez (c). I had Rambo, just transferred him. I can see this being a huge GW for Electric Sanchez.

  18. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Evs - captain choice this week?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wooney.

      You ?

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Same.

        Was considering Rambo. But will he score 3 weeks in a row?
        He is due a blank IMO

  19. Spatburgunder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Finally decided!

    Costa, Dzeko, Silva > Aguero, De jong, Ade. for -4

    Basically the same as before but I'm trading Silva out instead of Mata.

    Thoughts??

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Do it.

    2. living the dream
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Don't do it. Poor transfers in my opinion

      1. Spatburgunder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Why ? not being arsey just interested in feedback.

    3. Arse Craic
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd do Costa, Mata ➡ Aguero de Jong - for free

  20. Calamity Cole
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Start rio qpr? Or Ince hull???

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Ince

  21. kraftwerker
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Pick two from three to start:

    Jones
    Hutton
    Chambers

    Cheers.

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      First two

  22. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    deadline madness

  23. Matakuko
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Whats all this about Remy to Chelsea?

    1. Ed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      We need another forward now torres has gone. Apparently qpr have given us the go ahead to speak to him.

  24. SwissWavey
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I've just brought in
    Huth, Tadic, Rooney for
    Ramsey, Bony, Dier

    When I write it down it looks silly. I've got 25 mins to think about it - any advice?

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      dont do it
      huth next GW
      Bony will outscore rooney this GW
      Ramsey will outscore tadic
      simples

      1. SwissWavey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I just had a coffee and a smoke and came to a similar conclusion. Thanks

      2. SwissWavey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I did Huth. I'm on a WC and Dier was on my bench anyway, so thought it was worth having an FT in reserve for next GW. It'll cost me 0.1 if Dier goes up, but the FT might be worth more to me.

  25. mohit thekop
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    will silva start??

  26. Hammers Select
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Got a good feeling about this weekend!

    Krul

    Lovren, PVA, hutton

    Siggy, Fab, Ramsey, Sterling

    RVP (c), aguero, zarate

  27. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  28. Shiner
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    :Guys,

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hope is lost either way.

  29. ralphypne
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts on who to bench from this lot?

    Mata Ramsey Fabregas Nzogbia De Jong

    Austin Costa Rooney

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      bench n'zog-the game is up for villa
      de jong-only returning to fitness-might play a bit part and I think palace(new manager) might bounce
      austin-qpr in a sorry state and unlikely to play
