The world of Fantasy management is awash with apprehension as the somewhat average spectacle of recent cup football, and consequential replays, have postponed Premier League fixtures and left us with some tough choices ahead. Faced with absent friends from Merseyside, with a trouble Gameweek 29 looming, it’s time to forget the worries temporarily and unfurl another tenner to pay a visit to our bookmaker friends…
If you haven’t already been party to Juan Mata and Sergio Aguero’s steady point scoring this season, you’ll likely be eyeing them up for a Gameweek which hands them handy home ties with Bolton and Blackburn in the sights. For a bit of interest on these likely earners, Paddy are offering 17/10 for Mata to score and Chelsea to win and 8/13 for Aguero to achieve the same feat. Traditionally on the Flutter we look to spread our bets and take a little on each market, but as the moons are aligning for these two, we’re going all-in and take a fiver on each.
Even though the Scout wallet’s empty and we’re only into the third paragraph, Paddy are pricing up a couple of longer shots in the shape of QPR’s Adel Taarabt. He’s had a indifferent time this season, perhaps as a result of his own attitude, but with a show of faith from Mark Hughes, the talent that brought a 19 goal haul last season has begun to shine through in recent weeks. At 5.8 in the FPL he’s a mid-price punt playing behind the striker with a penchant for a four or five efforts on goal per match. If he can rise to the challenge and score from outside the box against Fulham this weekend, Paddy’ll will pay 12/1. Perhaps too risky, but a goal and QPR home win at 9/2 might tempt in a few Taarabt believers.
Rooney’s throat infection kept him out of the midweek wobble against Ajax, but he’ll be expected to return to the lineup against Norwich, he also heads the line-up of Paddy’s ‘Who Will Score the Most’ market at 6/4. Ba and Van Persie join him at 8/5 and 11/5, yet even their home fixtures couldn’t provide enough impact to knock Wayne off the favourite spot. Tenner gone, we’ll try a sportsman’s bet on Demba Ba to take advantage of the easiest fixture of the trio.
Money Back Special
Paddy’s refund specials start at the Etihad, with our bookie friends offering money back if there are four or more goals in this game – Paddy will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles on the match. Similarly, down at the Emirates, if Arsenal and Spurs can muster four or more goals, Paddy will, once again, repay any losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles on the match.
