With the first Manchester derby of the season set to take place later today, Paddy Power are rolling out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. With City set to welcome United to the Etihad this afternoon, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 5/1 for Manuel Pellegrini’s men to arrest their recent poor form and grab a win or a massive 14/1 on Louis van Gaal’s emerge victorious:

If you already have an account with Paddy, though, you can still take advantage of a Money Back Special. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if it ends in a draw.

To clarify, both the City and United enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified. New customers can only opt for one of the two offers.

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.

    Bertrand --> Dummett, Sterling --> Sanchez. Thoughts?

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    0.2 ITB. 1 FT.

    How many drops do we think Sterling will have this week? And will Costa rise?

    moreno + sterling -> dummett + sanchez

    or

    welbeck + sterling -> sakho + sanchez

  4. Strificus

    I'm likely finally shipping Sterling tonight.

    Any suggestions on who to replace him? I already have ADM, Fab, Barkley.

    Any chance of Walcott starting next game?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wally got under 20 minutes today, so no, can't see him starting next weekend.

    2. FionnMac
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez is the obvious one, but most people would need to downgrade someone else and take a hit to do that.

      1. Strificus
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I hate 2 FT; but no other obvious downgrade choice

        1. FionnMac
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Really? Post your team. We don't know how much you have in bank either so it's tough to answer

          1. Strificus
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Guzan 4.6 - Given 4.0
            Taylor 4.6 - Shackell 4.5 - Bertrand 5.1 - Moore 4.0 - Hutton 4.2
            Sterling 8.6 - Fabregas 9.6 - Di Maria 9.9 - Barkley 6.7 - Jedinak 4.9
            Costa 10.7 - Berahino 5.8 - Aguero 12.3

            0.8m ITB

            Sterling -> Sanchez = -1.1m

            I can maybe ship Barkley; but I was hoping he'd pick up his game and be a differential.

            1. FionnMac
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Barkley > Downing leaves you 100k short to get Sanchez I believe? Shame. Tough spot, I'm not sure really 🙁

              1. Strificus
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Unfortunately I had Downing a few weeks back; but the price hasn't changed.

    4. Ikey Warrior

      I'd be looking to replace Begovic soon. Either now, after he plays Burnley at home.

      His run becomes shocking after GW13 (vs Burnley home). With Hamer as your other keeper, you need to change your keeper situation.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I had that in mind when making my initial team, who would you go for?

  6. Ikey Warrior
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you miss the least out of these long-term (rank them):
    A) Aguero
    B) Baines
    C) Costa
    D) di Maria
    E) Sanchez
    F) Fabregas/Hazard

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    Stuck on how to go forwards, little help?

    Guazn (Given)
    Baines Jagielka Bertrand (Moore Targett)
    Siggy ADM Fabregas Henderson (Obertan)
    Costa Aguer Pelle

    2 FT with 0.6 ITB

    Siggy or Henderson -> Downing for the first FT?

    1. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely keep Siggy rather than Henderson.

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Despite fixtures and likely price falls?

        1. MMN
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          100%

        2. Ikey Warrior
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Ya. I'm keeping him until GW38 barring injury.

          He's only got 2 bad fixtures left before his run becomes decent again.

    2. Jay_
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Henderson > Downing this week
        Jag> Chambers next week
        Bertand Pelle > Creswell Bony Gw13

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Not bad, but been eyeing up Walcott as an end goal

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Just get Fab out for Walcott when he proves himself , you will want Swansea and West Ham players from gw13, don't lose Siggy now it's 1 week to late , ride out the next 2 good games after

      • Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Hit the trigger on Tadic + Sterling to Sanchez + Downing tonight so?

        Now, I'm not one for early transfers, but I only have .1m of lee-way here and both are going up tonight, making it unaffordable after today.

        Btw, these transfers mean I keep Siggy and Welbeck....

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Oh snap. Same see below. Can't take any drops or rises. I think I might do it. Boring and knee jerk is good

          Sanchez was unplayable. Downing is an enabler.

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Tadic out while keeping Siggy and Welbz is putting me off though.

            1. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Would have to sell Sig for a 4.5 so that's out of the question. 2 4.5s will stink my team up! Unless drop Aguero for Rooney...not a fan of that move.

              Would maybe wait on dimaria but he's central to whatever united does.

        2. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Was that for a hit?

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            No, free.

            1. Pap Le Cissier
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Good stuff, every cloud and all that. But as you said, Siggy and welbeck, I'd be tempted to take the hit

        3. FionnMac
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Can you get rid of someone else than Tadic? He's home to Leicester next

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            No.

            I could get rid of Welbz but can only afford a sub 5.4 striker.....

            1. FionnMac
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              I'd maybe reluctantly do this then. Sterling might drop 0.3 this week, so we have to get rid basically (me included)

      • Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Abit knee jerky lads but Sterling & Tadic > Sanchez & Downing for free??

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Would be remiss to lose Tadic, but if that is the best way you determine to fund Alexis then yes I think those are good transfers.

          1. UnderstandablyDistraught
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            agreed Tadic has 2 very nice fixtures coming up and would be loath to lose him if I had him

            1. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Yea feel it too. Do have Pelle though. See below for team. Any other alternatives?

          2. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Any alternatives Walsh? See down below. Can't afford any price changes.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Hm tough one. The only other way I could see is losing Costa.

              1. Shifty
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                Tough one indeed. Could backfire either way. Would rather Tadic backfire than Costa tbh. Plus do have Pelle.

                1. Walsh
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Aye. Sounds sensible to me, Shifty.

        2. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yep. Losing Tadic before LEI might hurt though.

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Any other ideas Innsie? Should have taken ur advice about Sanchez. 🙂 good on u. Any other alternatives?

              I think those transfers you mentioned are the best you can do. Downing's good fixture may offset Tadic's good fixture and Sanchez is clearly a big upgrade on Sterling. Solid team btw.

              1. Shifty
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

        To repost my words of wisdom from dead thread:

        Something to bear in mind when ye seek enlightenment on here - this week 37% of people on here voted to captain Costa vs 17% who voted to captain Sánchez.

        Sometimes the wisdom of crowds is wrong. Go with your own choice.

          This.

          Its very low percentage who will make up the top 1k of the game, basically the masses aren't going to make the right choices all the time.

        Forster
        Williams - wisdom - Clyne
        Fab - Sanchez - di maria - downing
        Naismith - Costa - Aguero

        Would you take a hit and change Naismith to Sakho/someone else cheap

        Is Steven Taylor likely to keep his place when Williamson returns from injury? Could be a bargain at 3.9 if so

        1. Touré De Force
          • 15 Years

          Probably will. Can also be deployed at RB.

      • Snikii

        Welbz + Sterling to Sakho +ADM -4 worth it?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yep if Sakho is fit.

        Is it just me, or is 'essentialism' chronic on the forum this season? In three weeks time, one of either Walcott or Ramsey could be the key Arsenal attacking asset. In no rush to commit to Sanchez until we see how they all gel.

          Great less people capitalising on a player with higher ppg than Costa........

          Comes up every season. There's always those who claim a player is essential. The only essential ones are those thatvwill get your team sgifting up the league

        Would it not be worthwhile for FFS to go about having their own price changes feature and eliminate other sites in the process?

          Yes, for members only.

          Imagine if they got the changes wrong?

          They'd need to do some grubby deal with FPL towers. Not a good move.

        A. Sterling & Tadic -> Sanchez & Downing

        B. Sterling, Tadic & Chester -> Sanchez, Diame & Chambers (-4)

        Quick!

          A, Chambers isn't going to score every week. He is great value but not worth getting Diame over Downing. Check the season ticker or something to work out your defensive rotation / who you could get instead

        Guys, please help me. Bertrand --> Dummett, Sterling --> Sanchez. Thoughts?

        De Gea, Gilks
        Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
        Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
        Costa, Aguero, Pelle
