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.

  2. Aussie_Toon_Lad

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

    1. Willis.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      3

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 11 months ago

      0.3

      3 depending on.his bowel movements

      Cheers fellas

  3. copps
    11 years, 11 months ago

    moreno + sterling -> dummett + sanchez

    or

    welbeck + sterling -> sakho + sanchez

  4. Strificus
    11 years, 11 months ago

    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
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. FionnMac
      11 years, 11 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
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I hate 2 FT; but no other obvious downgrade choice

        1. FionnMac
          11 years, 11 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
            11 years, 11 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
              11 years, 11 months ago

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

              1. Strificus
                11 years, 11 months ago

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

                1. Strificus
                  11 years, 11 months ago

                  Thanks though, appreciated!

      1. Parm

        Probably, Begovic and Sigurdsson bugging me though.

    2. Seb Wassell
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Siggy > Downing perhaps./

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

        Maybe, will probably decide later in the week.

    3. Holy See

      Nothing urgent. Stick the kettle on.

      1. Parm

        11 years, 11 months ago

        He he, cheers mate.

    4. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      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
        11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B

  7. Seb Wassell
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Literally last post on last page, if you don't mind a repost!

    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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely keep Siggy rather than Henderson.

      1. Seb Wassell
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Despite fixtures and likely price falls?

        1. MMN
          11 years, 11 months ago

          100%

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

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

      1. Seb Wassell
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Jay_
          11 years, 11 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

  8. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 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
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Shifty
          11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Was that for a hit?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 11 months ago

        No, free.

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

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

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 11 months ago

        No.

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

        1. FionnMac
          11 years, 11 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)

  9. Shifty
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 11 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
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Shifty
          11 years, 11 months ago

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

      2. Shifty
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 11 months ago

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

          1. Shifty
            11 years, 11 months ago

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

            1. Walsh
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Aye. Sounds sensible to me, Shifty.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. Losing Tadic before LEI might hurt though.

      1. Shifty
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

        Chambers baines wisdom clyne saylor

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 11 months ago

          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
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Yea and I thought the New Liv fixture would be filled with goals.

      2. Walsh
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I see we are in good shape in our matchup against Engerland, Cap 😀

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 11 months ago

          We are indeed Walshy 🙂

    Lads whos looking to rise an fall tonight?

    Heard fantasyfootball fix is most reliable?

    1. jaredwilliams
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Risers possibly Sanchez, Fabregas, Downing, Wanyama, Hazard

      Fallers I'd say would be Sterling. Possibly Terry.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        11 years, 11 months ago

        and Begovic

        1. MMN

            NVM found my answer

  11. Puyol Pants Up

    Best 4.5 or under Defender?
    Already own Foster/Duff/Dummett

        11 years, 11 months ago

        Double West brom?

  12. jaredwilliams
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth losing Costa to get in Sanchez this week?

    A big part of me is doing it for the Sanchez rises this week. And he'd be coming in for Sterling who keeps dropping. Can't keep losing TV.

    1. jaredwilliams
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Also, would people be selecting Sakho over Berahino with upcoming fixtures?

  13. oven
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling > Downing to beat price changes ?

  14. Rex Lapis
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling + Eriken to Sanchez + Downing worth for a hit?

  15. LewanGOALski
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Should I lose Siggy to Downing in order to fund Sterling to ADM / Hazard ?

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      11 years, 11 months ago

      what's the rest of you midfield?

      1. LewanGOALski
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Sanchez Fabregas Sterling Siggy Albrighton

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Siggy out then

          1. LewanGOALski
            11 years, 11 months ago

            so what? Siggy > Downing and keep Sterling..?

            1. UnderstandablyDistraught
              11 years, 11 months ago

              I wouldn't keep Sterling Sterling to ADM for me there but most seem to like Hazard

  16. Charlie&TheLads
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Oh Alcaraz, you were going to be my lucky charm!!! Pity you didn't play to 60mins.......would have got 80pts.

    The amount of kneejerking that goes on on this site is delicious

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      11 years, 11 months ago

      as good as a night out with needlevor?

  18. MMN
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Somebody pleeeeease reply, I need a good old knee jerk before I sleep after what Chambers has done to me.

  20. Puyol Pants Up

    Price changes in an hour. Correct?

    1. Walsh

      Correct

    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.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      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.

  22. Bridge Burner
    11 years, 11 months ago

    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

  23. FionnMac
    11 years, 11 months ago

    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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Probably will. Can also be deployed at RB.

  24. Snikii
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yep if Sakho is fit.

  25. Touré De Force
    11 years, 11 months ago

    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.

    1. Charlie&TheLads
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      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

  26. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Declan
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, for members only.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Imagine if they got the changes wrong?

    3. Rats Ass
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

  27. NABIL - FPL otai
    11 years, 11 months ago

    2 FTs, 0 itb

    A. Sterling & Tadic -> Sanchez & Downing

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

    Quick!

    1. Timtastic03
      11 years, 11 months ago

      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

  28. Sean

    considering sterling to brunt,only other option is eriksen atm

  29. Owd Big 'Ed
