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.

    Would you lose any of Aguero Costa Pelle to fund Sterling >Sanchez?

    It's my alternative to Sterling Tadic > Downing Sanchez but doesn't make sense to drop any of those 3.

    1. Les Bleus
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'd do the midfield switch. Those are the three forwards to have at the moment.

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Why do you need Sanchez?! Swansea game will be tough

      1. Shifty
        11 years, 11 months ago

        It's as much a team value play I'm afraid. Price swings and all that. Market is moving one way, go with the flow 🙂

        That and the small fact that Sanchez was unplayable last night.

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          11 years, 11 months ago

          loooool vs Burnley at home? That is your benchmark!

          Swansea don't concede many at home. Going Unders that one 🙂

          1. Shifty
            11 years, 11 months ago

            To each his own mate. Like I said below. I don't like making transfers based on price but would be foolish to not make the sterling Sanchez switch.

            You probably own Sanchez

            1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Ofc! He was playing Burnley at home!?!

              1. Shifty
                11 years, 11 months ago

                That your way of saying "suck it you snooze you lose"? 🙂

                1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
                  11 years, 11 months ago

                  🙂

    3. the cromulent one
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'd do Sterling & Tadic -> Downing & Sanchez.
      A case could be made for losing Pelle, with tougher fixtures upcoming... but I would not go that route.

      1. Shifty
        11 years, 11 months ago

        A case could be made indeed but hey he's been scoring for fun and would much rather drop tadic than him.

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Really!?! Not me.

          Isn't Pelle a card away from a ban too?

          1. Shifty
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Wouldn't drop him for missing one game. Pointless. Benching would be enough. That's what a squad is for.

            I hate making transfers based on price but sterling is gonna drop like a stone. While Sanchez goes the other way in price and ownership.

            1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Hmmm we play different games i think. I really can't be having one of my precious striker spots taken up by someone suspended

              1. Shifty
                11 years, 11 months ago

                If he gets suspended around the time when fixtures swing then I'll make a change

                1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
                  11 years, 11 months ago

                  Seems inevitable that that will be the case

    4. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Welbeck

      1. Shifty
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Just no. Sorry muppet haha

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Ok mate but he's toss.

          1. Shifty
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Sanchez? Or pelle? Or welbeck?

            Welbeck is toss.

            1. Not Irish
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Bloody hell. Sorry. Lose Costa.

    5. droginexile
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Id look at doing Tadic to Downing. Sotons fixtures are turning and 1 will be enough

    6. flipperallstars
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I prefer to have all Sanchez, downing,, tadic, pelle, Costa and aguero

      1. Shifty
        11 years, 11 months ago

        It's either Tadic to Downing or Sig to a second 4.5 mid.

  2. Willis.
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Who's going to score first this season: Balotelli or Jutkiewicz?

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

      The Polish fella.

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

      If I was the Liverpool manager I'd start Borini over Balotelli at the moment.

    3. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Bojan

      1. BeachBadger
        11 years, 11 months ago

        😆

  3. Obi Wan Elokobi
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this team. Really don't like having 3 newcastle defenders.

    Forster, (Krul)
    Dummett, Clyne, Baines (Wisdom, S.Taylor)
    Di Maria, Sanchez, Fabregas, Downing, (Siggy)
    Aguero, Pelle, Berahino

    Cheers

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Too bad you can't get 4 😀

      Really like the team, though.

  4. FionnMac
    11 years, 11 months ago

    OK you guys have convinced me I need to take a hit to afford Sterling>Sanchez. Need to find 600k from somewhere, Terry>cheap defender looks like the obvious one Siggy>Downing works too.

    1FT and £1.2m in the bank. Thoughts?

    Bego
    Clyne Chambers Baines
    Siggy Tadic ADM Sterling
    Aguero Pelle Berahino

    Bench - Terry, Duff, Marney

    1. Coaly
      11 years, 11 months ago

      terry to wisdom

      1. FionnMac
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks. You think Wisdom is worth the extra 200k or 300k over Dummet or Steven Taylor then?

        1. Coaly
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah. Dummett decent shout though (I just got him)

  5. Puyol Pants Up
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Fill the gap (XXX)

    Sterling & Cahill ---> Sanchez and XXX

    4.5 ITB

    Already own Foster and Dummett if that effects anything.

    1. Coaly
      11 years, 11 months ago

      duff

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Already have Duff

        1. Coaly
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Villa def then

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Have you seen how many goals they have conceded lately?

            1. Coaly
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Don't ask for advice if you don't want it

    2. FionnMac
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Wisdom is only option really I think. You don't want to double up on Newcastle and get Steven Taylor

      1. FionnMac
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Not only option, but best option I think

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          11 years, 11 months ago

          How about PVA, Vlaar, Hutton, Kelly, Chester?

    3. Obi Wan Elokobi
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Geoff Cameron

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Interesting..

  6. Beavis
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Some more thoughts on this please? Deadline soon...

    A: Cesc + Welb > Sanchez + Sakho -4
    B: Not worth a hit, just do Welbz > Sakho.

    Forster
    Baines, Bertrand, CDawson
    Cesc, Hazard, ADM, Siggy
    Aguero, Pelle, Welbz

    Bear in mind I'll probably need a hit the following GW if I want Costa (Baines + Pelle > 4.5 + Costa).

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B for me, Beavis.

      1. Beavis
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Nice score this week mate.

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 11 months ago

          In dreamland. Thanks, bud.

    2. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Do you have the funds to do Haz>Sanchez?

      1. Beavis
        11 years, 11 months ago

        No there's nothing in the bank unfortunately otherwise I would've brought him this past week.

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Would sell Haz if doing those moves.

    3. Sean
      11 years, 11 months ago

      terry to get rid of haz not fab

      1. Sean
        11 years, 11 months ago

        ignore first word 😉

      2. Beavis
        11 years, 11 months ago

        You reckon? Fab has the consistency but Haz not even been playing at his best and only 7 points behind. Now that they're similarly priced (though Cesc is 9.4 to me) penalties should swing it

        1. Sean
          11 years, 11 months ago

          i would always prefer fab to hazard,get that feeling of at least an assured 6 or 7 PPG is great

  7. Collar of Cantona
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Krul Mannone
    Clyne Jagielka Chambers Duff Taylor
    ADM Fabregas Siggy Boyd Sterling
    Aguero Costa Welbeck

    Should I:

    A) Mannone, Sterling, Welbeck to 4.0, Sanchez, Sakho (8pt hit)
    B) Sterling to Downing
    C) Sterling and Siggy/Welbs to Sanchez and bench fodder (4pt hit)

    1. Collar of Cantona
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      0.1 ITB so no real easy way of getting Alexis. Also want to do safer tonight to avoid price drops on Sterling

  8. Coaly
    11 years, 11 months ago

    3-2 United tomorrow

    ADM hatty and Kun brace

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Fine with me, although i'd rather 4-3 to someone.... on Over 6.5 😀

    2. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That would be awesome.

    3. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Would be beautiful. AdM(C) here.

    4. the cromulent one
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That would be lovely.

  9. Rex Lapis
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling > Downing to avoid price changes?

    myfront 8:
    Haz, ADM, Eriksen, Marney, Sterling
    Costa, Pelle, Sakho

    any thoughts?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'd sell Eriksen and Sterling for Downing and Sanchez

      1. Rex Lapis
        11 years, 11 months ago

        worth for a hit?

        only have 1 FT

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Yes

        2. Coaly
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Yes!

  10. Donblaster
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling, Siggy and Lampard > Sanchez Downing and Wanyama for -4??

    1. FionnMac
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure how much Wanyama is but I wouldn't get him. Don't chase last weeks points, he's a defensive mid

      1. John t penguin
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Guessing he needs the cash to make other moves
        4.5 he is best option at that price, will start every 3-4 games, just need the luck to land whatever game he decides to score

        1. FionnMac
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Assumed he was £5m-£5.5m to be fair, that is a good price. Prob won't score for 5 or 10 games but is nailed on and woill pick up the odd bonus point. Hold my hands up 😀

          1. John t penguin
            11 years, 11 months ago

            So far I have landed his one other point return against Sunderland due to missing player
            Need aguero or adm missing tomorrow to land others,
            Suppose it's how we all get points from these types

          2. Donblaster
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks both, yeh he would be a sub for 4.5m, not many options at that price. Good moves? To avoid price changes tonight...

            1. FionnMac
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Good moves, go for it

  11. Venom Snake
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Well now I'm even more confused. And running out of time!

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Same!

  12. Buck The Trent
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Best -4 move here lads ?

    A Sterling, Welbz to Sanchez, Sakho (Boyd my 4th mid)
    B Sterling, Obertan to Tadic, Downing

    1. Rex Lapis
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B

  13. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I hate doing early transfers, I just know Aguero will tweak his hammy tomorrow in spite of me.

    1. Royal5
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Then dont.

    2. the cromulent one
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not to mention midweek UCL & Europa games.
      It's a risk I'm willing to take.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Thats what hits are for.

  14. Owd Big 'Ed
    11 years, 11 months ago

    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....

  15. Bridge Burner
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sakho or Valencia?

    Baring in mind that Carroll has to come back

    1. FionnMac
      11 years, 11 months ago

      West Ham fan here, I'd say Sakho. Plays more central and is more composed, better FPL prospect

  16. pundit of punts
    11 years, 11 months ago

    People buying Sakho already and using their FTs. 😕

    This is a CL week where injuries can happen and for all we know Sakho may miss out again this weekend.

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Rough one, though, for those who still own Sterling. I sympathize. I'd probably take the risk and do that early transfer. In other news, Draxler got hurt yesterday 🙁

      1. pundit of punts
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Shit. 🙁

        Gotta take a hit now in UCL.

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Draxler to Kagawa came to mind and double with Reus, but I haven't properly turned my eye to that yet.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 11 months ago

      aye im waiting for ucl...learned my lesson from bringing in sturridge early 😀

    3. Venom Snake
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Worst case scenario I'll activate my WC

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        11 years, 11 months ago

        dont you dare 😉

  17. Ludo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Wow, tough up there - 63 (-4) gets me a red arrow...

    If I hadn't brought Costa in last night, I would have jumped all the way to 346th!

    1. Jay_
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I got 68-4 (64) got a slight green just inside top 500, who do you have still to play ?

      1. Ludo
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Aguero and Di Maria left.

        1. Jay_
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Same 2 as me

    2. Whistle
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah im 62 (-4) and I've dropped to 700th or so.

      Cant wait for 11 beautiful Wanyama points off my bench though!

      1. Jay_
        11 years, 11 months ago

        That will lovely on Monday night 🙂

        1. Whistle
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah, Eriksen and Aguero to play as well. Looking forward to that Spurs game, haven't actually seen Eriksen play this season

    3. lespaul
      11 years, 11 months ago

      captain choice costa shot me with sanchez vc waving at me

      1. Ludo
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Ditto!

  18. Transient Anus
    11 years, 11 months ago

    bottomed
    Valencia or sakho?

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sakho. But both great options along with Downing. 😯

    2. Holy See
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sakho for me. Save a mill, seems to be more likely to get on the end of things.

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sakho 🙂

      1. Transient Anus
        11 years, 11 months ago

        cheers fellas. Ramessi how the bloody hell are ya

    4. Jay_
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Gw13 I'm getting Valencia

  19. oscardo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    So, never tought i would be considering this transfer: Sterling-> Downing? Can somebody please tell me this is good? :p Sterling will fall in price tonight so have to make the move soon. Cheers!

    1. Collar of Cantona
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Considering the same, don't feel pleased with it at all

      1. oscardo
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Liverpool is so out of form, downing is on form, gr8 fixtures also.

  20. Jay Jay Okocha
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Still kcking myself for failing to pull the trigger on Sterling/Siggy to Sanchez/Downing last night.

    Now I'm looking at Sterling/Siggy to ADM/Downing... what's the likelihood of either A) Siggy falling or B) Downing rising tonight? Thanks!

  21. Strificus
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Who is the best midfield option at 5.6m and 8.8m?

  22. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 11 months ago

    How does this transfer look this week?

    Player who hasn't scored this week ➡ Player who has scored this GW (-4)

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Worked ok for me this season.

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

      I would take a -8 if necessary

    3. Sean
      11 years, 11 months ago

      good,but do it now to avoid price changes

  23. Obi Wan Elokobi
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Fixtures aren't great but Geoff Cameron may be worth a look at now for a cheap defender. Only 4.2 and looks like he's back in the team.

    1. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 11 months ago

      If only Stoke kept CSs!

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Couldn't agree more. Stoke keep cleans at very unexpected times and he is OOP obvoiusly. He will nick the odd assist here or there and maybe even a couple goals as I always find him to be in the right place at the right time on set pieces. If you are really trying to skim at the back I wouldn't mind him as an option in the sub-5.0 defender bracket and start mostly every week, even.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Where has he been playing?

    I tried switching my computer off and on and just like that whole site is up and running again. Maybe I should get a job in IT

    F**k it, think I might get ADM instead of Sanchez.

    Means I can keep Tadic for LEI and avl

      I want ADM this week.

      Can't decide if I should board the Sanchez train or not. 🙁

      I've decided to wait till after the Arsenal game before getting ADM. Sanchez is the main priority right now. Looking forward to having both in a few weeks.

    Paddy Power offering money back on win markets if the United match is a draw, City are 19/20, so basically it's a free bet on United at 2/1 not 3/1, or am I missing something?

    (Free bet refunds are limited to one per person but I have a friend who'd let me use his)

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…

      Money back or money back as free bets?

          B for me mate. Sanchez does nothing at Swansea

        Money back as free bets, but until recently (not sure if it's changed) you got free bets credited as cash if they were void, by say backing a FGS who didn't play.

      I never route for a player injury. I do think the Alexis train will end next week, when he gets 2 pts.

    Is it wise to do Hazard + Siggy to Sanchez + Downing for (-4) before we know the Sunday/Monday matches result or even before UCL/UEL games?

    Rest of the team

    Krelliot
    Baines Clyne Chambers [Wisdom, Moore]
    AdM HAZARD Fabregas SIGGY [Cattermole]
    Aguero Pelle Welbeck

  29. UnderstandablyDistraught
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I strongly considered it and would if it meant keeping Tadic

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught

    My midfield is suddenly terrible, how do I get Sanchez into this squad?

    Foster (Myhill)
    Baines Bertrand Chambers (Wisdom Dummett)
    ADM Sterling Tadic Siggy (Boyd)
    Aguero Costa Welbeck

      Same as everyone else downgrade Wellbeck and swap for Sterling

    2. FionnMac
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I have same midfield, don't think it's TOO bad! At least all of 'em play at home next week. I'd do what Cheeseoid said, and get Sakho prob
