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.

    Am I mad to be considering a Sigurdsson to Januzaj/Fellaini transfer?

    1. mgilbert86

      yes

          Lol. I'm going to be saving my ft no need.

  4. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    So should i do Siggy to Downing if I have Sakho?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Does owning Sakho stop Downing scoring points?

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        in terms of when players turn sh*t when i buy them or in real life?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I mean that each player will score the same whether you have both in your team or just one. So if you think Downing will score well, then buy him. Owning Sakho is irrelevant really, unless you're not confident with West Ham and want to hedge your bets.

    2. 1314
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I did last night..and I'm planning to get in Sakho too..Downing is in a better form , better team and fixtures atm..and West Ham is good at scoring with long ball approach from what I seem , both could do well..

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        might have to go chadli as i like oscar as a tadic replacement after he plays villa

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

    I sat on not doing my 1 FT yesterday. It was going to be Shackell -> Chambers

    Fuuuuu...

  6. Kip
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    i think i might just forget about Sanchez and start tinkering about bringing in ADM instead

    ManU's fixtures are looking good for attacking returns

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      adm hazard cesc and adm are the best midfielders so if you have as much of them as you can your ok

      1. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        adm hazard *sanchez cesc

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Gotta have both Sanchez and ADM now imo.

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

        gotta catch 'm all 🙂

        impossible to combine with owning Ivan Kun Costa though

      2. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        let's see after tomorrow, adm already didn't show up in a big game against chelsea

      3. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Really? I still think Fabregas is essential always consistent

      4. Manamongst
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        finally someone speaking sense.

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

    Fab > Chadli
    Sterling > Sanchez
    Rio > Chambers

    -4?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't sell Cesc

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

        Agree, not doing that now...cant get him back otherwise and is still the assist king.

  8. Jacques The Lad
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Transfers done and spent, not too sure how to feel about that...

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      why now and not after international games?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        ?

        1. mgilbert86
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          CL, sorry rupert

      2. Jacques The Lad
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        price rise and falls, and do you mean CL?

        1. mgilbert86
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          yes, who did you transfer to?

          1. Jacques The Lad
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Went with my gut, Sterling + pellet to costa + downing; instead of the prototypical sterling > sanchez transfers

            1. Jacques The Lad
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

    'I love watching Victor Wanyama'...Keown is fulk of shit.

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I see lot of people done their transfers already.

    Too risky Imo before CL and Europa Leage games.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I had the exact cash. Forced to do the trades.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        This ain't about exact cash though. What happens if Sanchez gets injured for example ?

        1. mgilbert86
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          thank you michu

        2. 1314
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Hazard probably would come in..

        3. Sz21
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          And if he doesn't?

          Did the early transfer last week with ADM- Sanchez..
          just the right cash.

          I had to hide all week for doing it.

    2. duffnasty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      i usually wait until friday but a .2 swing for sterling > downing was too much to pass on and sterling with a shit fixture and downing with a plump fixture definitely tipped the scales.

    3. 1314
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      well I did Siggy > Downing , more cash now and Downing no midweek game so went for it bravely..

  11. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Thinking I will captain ASM next week. What are your early thoughts?

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

      ADM even

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I am.

    Krul, Elliott

    (d) Ivanovic & Siggy out, Chambers & ADM in for a -4 hit

    1. white lightning
      • 12 Years

      Sorry I forgot
      (e) Hazard & Moore out, ADM & Chambers in for a -4 hit

  13. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years

    Sanchez in for free feels in my team. Had the exact cash. 😀

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

      Feels good eh! I did Siggy > Sanchez (C) for free last week 🙂

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

        Happy enough myself, though I didn't captain him when my rivals did

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Well done Innsie.

        I went Hazard instead. 6 points worse off. Still not entirely a disaster.

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

          Cheers. Not a disaster at all, it would've been if he didn't get that penalty though 😛

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      *Ignore the 'feels'. lol

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It feels good to own him, doesn't it? 🙂

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        It does indeed.

        He was immense today. Felt like I was watching Suarez.

        On course for a 250+points season.

  14. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Clyne > Chambers in GW13?

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

      Chambers could be a bit more expensive by then. May be worth ditching a cheap bench fodder in the short term if you have nothing better to do

  15. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    At least my boring GK transfer paid off.

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

      Mine too. Was it Foster?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yup 😀

  16. BeachBadger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I know some of ye are buoyed by a good gameweek and some of ye are having fun making transfers for fun this week, even considering wildcarding. But it's there, it's waiting for you. Prepare yourselves for the most frightening thing yet this Hallowe'en.

    International Break II : The Slowening

    Coming soon ....

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

      A parody of Highlander 2: The Quickening?

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

        Someones on the ball this morning 😉

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

          80's action films is a specialist subject

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

            'Action film' is far too kind to describe Highlander 2 😆

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

              It was truly awful. The original holds a special place in my heart though. No other film has ever cast people with such stupid accents for the roles they are playing

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

                Love the original. Maybe its just cos of the Queen soundtrack but it always seemed so badass for something so cheesy haha

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

                  I think it has the best sword fights in it too

              2. Alan The Llama
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                What do you mean? Lambert as a Scot, Connery as a Spaniard....makes perfect sense.

  17. UKG
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Berahino or Sakho? (What is the latest with him injury wise?)

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  18. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    personally i think there are two types of people in the world, hazard owners and fabregas owners, one plays it safe, the other grabs life by the balls

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      But Fabregas's consistency gives you team value as well.

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

      I have both this week...

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

      And no Costa of course...

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

      What if you don't have either?

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

        You don't have any balls to grab.

        1. Sz21
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          But then maybe they have Sanchez..
          balls off the scale?

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

          😀 I would've thought going Chelsea-less when they have QPR at home is a good indicator of the presence of balls myself 😉

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

            You've balls surely it was just a play on the original post. 😉

    5. You jumped the fence baby
      • 11 Years

      Missed the Sanchez train it seems. Shall I get in Sanchez or Walcott or Di Maria?

      My team:
      Krul / Foster
      Bertrand / Gibbs / N. Taylor / Moore / Hutton
      Fabregas / Sterling / Eriksen / Sigurdsson / Downing
      Costa / Aguero / Pelle

      I'm dropping Pelle for Berahino, crazy? - This is to tidy up my back line and get Sanchez in.

      1. Jay_
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Not crazy but Sakho will be better option if fit

          1. UKG

            Berahino on pens too, looks so sharp also. Cant transfer in a flagged player, seems wrong. lol Can always downgrade....

            1. Jay_
                11 years, 5 months ago

                I have Berahino, but will be looking to shift him for either Costa Bony or a West Ham striker in 2 weeks ( fixtures )

            yes considering the next two games

          A midfield of
          Sanchez, Downing, Mané, Oscar, Marney
          is as good as any midfield combo thats out there..

          Discuss...

          The critics may say you need ADM and Fabs though yeah??

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          There are only 5players I consider essential atm. ADM is not one of them yet imo.
          Baines, Sanchez, Fabregas, Costa, Aguero.
          Probably would have put a saints defender in also if not for the fixtures changing.

          1. Rupert The Horse

            ADM not essential over the next 4? I said bed.

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              I said not yet. Points are coming from everywhere and the midfield keeps changing.

            Costa, not essential, only had him a 3 weeks, reaped and he broke. Aguero, haven´t owned him, he´s on the verge of essential. Essential doesn´t gett hurt in the 22nd minute, or blank agaiinst scrubs...much.

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              11 years, 5 months ago

              9 goals in 8 and owned by 56% makes Costa essential imo. Ih he hauls and you don't own him it hurts.

          Anybody here still with their WCs?

          What's the plan?

            Yup. Thinking maybe week 13 when a few of my dodgy players hit a bad patch of fixtures... Or wait til double game week. Earlier the better though, I reckon - if you do it well you have longer with better players

            Yea, no idea when to use it though

            keep for the DGW's

              doubt we see any before new year, weather doesn´t seem like it will cooperate

          With Marney back and Burnley's fixtures taking a turn for the better, does Trippier seem a decent pick?

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Was thinking that buy his still too expensive , anything under 4.5 would be ok, no one getting on the end of his crosses either

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

            Don´t be like the GW braggers that are saddled with Costa & Aguero. It leaves you with mid-priced and inconsistent fodder in your midfield.

            Wait another week for Walcott. Get rid of the striker not on penalties out of your two white elephants, hint hint.
