The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek Twenty Six

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.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

If you’re new to this betting lark and new to Paddy Power then you can take up any of these odds and offers and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      That has no bearing on whether or not he'll be rested.

      I don't think he will be, but it's more likely than Ba being rested IMO.

    got 2 ft, don't want to let one goto waste.

    krul (vorm)
    santon/evans/richards/shawcross (senderos)
    silva/bale/sessegnon (sigurdsson/valencia)
    ba/rvp/aguero (c)

    .2 in bank.

    richards > kompany is kinda sideways i guess, but would prob pay off long-term.

    could go sess > mcclean with an eye to getting rooney in for aguero and a spurs def in for shawcross.

    any other suggestions?

        yeah the only thing that's really holding me back from that is that i don't think mcclean will outscore sess over the rest of the season. i'm tempted to try to find the rooney funds elsewhere (possibly silva > yaya).

      could do shawcross to raylor or cahill

      or you could downgrade him to have money to get rooney for aguero and still keep the rest of yoru front 8 in tact

        i don't see where the value is in the cheaper defenders. shawcross has to be played this week (home to swansea). i need to find .6 to go aguero > rooney, meaning he has to be downgraded to a 4.5 defender and i don't see that there're any really worth having (given that evans aside the cheaper degs are generally from lesser teams and they're a lottery re: cleansheets.

        (also already have 3 toon players, and i don't trust chelsea even slightly).

          Richards to Kompany or Sess to mcclean are both decent nothing better to do transfers.

          Mind having a look at my link and suggesting a transfer? Also got 2 frees and don't want to waste one.

            like your team tbh. might try and shift taiwo personally bc i don't see qpr getting great defensive returns in the forseeable (not to mention they have a blank in gw 29).

    RVP – Aguero – PCisse

    Sorensen – Taiwo – Valencia – Enrique

    0.9m, 1F, I think I will do Larsson > McClean, unless you can suggest a better midfielder for 7.6m? And are my GK the right way round? Thanks 🙂
