→ The 2014/15 season was Sergio Aguero's best ever for Fantasy returns. Seven of his goals/assists and 36 of his FPL points came in two meetings with which club that year? Scout Betting

With a goal from reliable Robin, an assist from Juan Mata and a clean sheet from Sunderland, we took Paddy Power for three crisp tenners last week as our weekly treble bet came in. Back in profit, can we maintain momentum with this week’s markets?

Determined to claw back our winnings, Paddy are dangling a very tempting proposition our way to open things up. With 13 goals to his name, Michu has been a sensation and, with Stoke at the Liberty this weekend, the Spaniard will be looking to add to their impressive first season tally. He’s gone three starts without a strike, while the Swans have conceded in their last three home matches. Even so, odds of 5/1 on a Michu goal with a Swansea clean sheet against the Potters look tasty and we’re willing to go gung-ho and throw no less than £4 the way of Paddy on this market.

Steven Gerrard found a place in our Scout Picks last night with Luis Suarez missing out. While Suarez seems to have hoodoo over the Canaries, we’re still backing Gerrard to get amongst the points have bagged returns in seven consecutive starts. Chris Hughton’s side have conceded in their last five away trips and we’re backing a home win with the skipper again getting in on the act. Paddy are dangling 4/1 on a Gerrard goal with a Liverpool clean sheet against Norwich and we’re more than happy to take them up on that for £2 of our money.

The final single player market involves City’s clash with an out-of-sorts Fulham. Although Edin Dzeko makes way for Sergio Aguero in our Scout Picks this week, the Bosnian has four goals in his last three league outings and looks primed to punish the Cottagers in today’s clash. Paddy are clearly backing City here, with just 2/1 on offer for a Dzeko goal with a City clean sheet. Nonetheless, we’ll throw them another £3 of our stake for this one.

That leaves just a solitary shekel for our treble market and, having triumphed last week, we’re perhaps hedging our bets somewhat this time around. A Van Persie goal against Spurs, together with a David Silva assist against Fulham and a Liverpool clean sheet is being offered at 10/1 by our bookmaker friends.

    So what are people's thoughts on Ba?

    A: Appreciate the fact that he won't start every game, but confident he'll get enough points in the minutes he does get

    B: Sacking him off and going with forwards who are more nailed on

    C: Switching him to someone such as Podolski with WC still available to bring Ba back in if needs be

      Keeping him for this GW, wildcarding soon and will make a decision then. Might keep him but I will defo keep Mata and it may be overkill. He won't play every game but I think he may become 1st choice.

    Right, been leaving this until the last minute. Strikeforce is RVP/Ba/Defoe. Which is the best option:

    A) Defoe & Ba > Aguero & Sturridge (-4pt hit)
    B) Luiz & Defoe > Sagna & Aguero (-4pt hit - already have Gibbs/Jask/Theo/Demel for DGW)
    C) Defoe > Sturridge (no hit) ?
