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.

        Brady looks good this year. You reckon Dobson will take the lead WR role once he's healthy? I want to take a cheeky waiver wire punt on him before the season starts...

        Ince only played 15 mins in the Europe League game, and Hull have yet to sign another striker. He'll play (but probably won't do much)

      1. The Rock
        • 16 Years

        But for Midfielder, it's tough, i went for JWP this week, only 5m.

  8. Planet Jo

    Last question from me then I’m off to the coffee shop…

    Who to captain from my 3 City players? And why?

    A. Aguero
    B. Jovetic
    C. Silva

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Jove, starts, on form, more likely to score than Silva.

      Could be, only LvG knows!

    3. Planet Jo

    Im sticking my neck out from what I've heard read etc. Costa will start he will do 70 mins then hobble off and be unavailable for internationals! Who's with me?

    1. gera.bostock
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wise man.

    2. @BigChrisso
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds likely.

      Jose is with you

  13. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    What if Costa start and sub off after just 20-30 mins? 🙁

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      then you live with it. If he starts then will probably notch a goal

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

      Well after he's got a brace, I won't be too annoyed

      The game is full of what ifs. You still have to play costa if you have him surely

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

      Then he'll be injured.

    6. gera.bostock
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      1 point and wait for Swansea game.

  14. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    Doesn't feel like deadline is coming. I'll shake things up a bit

    AAAAHHHHHHH

    1. sambyy

      I did it earlier when I thought Costa wouldn't play. Right now, no way.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

    4. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, see the stats for other potential armband candidates (Hint: begins with J..) 😉

  23. Shiner
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 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...?????

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If you had RVP would he be your captain this week?

    2. The-Best
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Jovetic this gw transfer in Costa next gw you could do with upgrading Roonpig to Aguero

    3. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Jovetic captain, in form against stoke enuf said!

    4. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Think further ahead. If you WC now you should be happy with it for a good few weeks.

      I would put Costa in as easy to upgrade from him, not so much Jovetic, unless you leave money in the bank

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

    So siggy as capt? Genius or mad??

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

      in the middle

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

      All after he plays.

    3. Oflow
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Mad genius.

  25. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Why are people captaining Rooney, no form and man united aren't going to break down burnley like chelsea did, it is between him and ramsey for me though

    1. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney will deliver, and i reckon Utd will score a few this weekend and he will be involved.

    Would you rather:

    A) Aguero + Naismith + Chadli

    or

    B) Jovetic + Rooney + 4.5 mid

    I am on A at the moment but don't have any ManUtd players so a bit worried about that... will Rooney be on the wing now that RvP is back and Di Maria will want a wing role too? And is Jovetic nailed on enough?

        So Jovetic is nailed enough long term?

          No.

            Gera would you rather Jovetic + Rooney or Aguero + Chadli in your starting line up?
