Paddy has been getting cocky of late. Several near misses have cost us, not least last week when we were just a David Silva assist away from a treble win. While Stephane Sessegnon delivered the goal we needed, Fulham conspired to notch twice at the Stadium of Light to ruin those plans. With ground to make up, then, it’s encouraging to see Paddy have prepared some rather tempting markets this week, with Gameweek 29 bringing in some unfamiliar names and lengthening the odds to offer some of the best we’ve seen for many weeks.

We like Paddy’s take on Robert Snodgrass for starters. Nestled in the Scout Picks midfield, the former Leeds man has been a great success story for Chris Hughton’s men this term and with four goals to his name, we know he’s got it in him to trouble Southampton at Carrow Road on Saturday. Paddy aren’t so sure, it seems, dangling 14/1 on a Snodgrass goal with a Norwich clean sheet against the Saints. Given that the Canaries have conceded just twice in their last four home matches, we like these odds for openers and won’t hesitate throwing £2 of our stake their way.

Moussa Sissoko is another name to find his place in the Scout Picks this week. With a role behind the lone striker and the struggling Stoke defence in town, we fancy further returns for the bustling Frenchman. Again, Paddy seem to be looking to tempt us here. They’re offering a generous looking 9/1 on a Sissoko goal with a Newcastle shutout, which, given that Stoke have scored just once in their last six away trips, looks well worthy of our bet of the week and no less than £4 of our stake.

Romelu Lukaku is another player hotly tipped for the weekend. Having missed the trip to parent club Chelsea last time out, he’ll be straining at the leash to rediscover the form that brought him three goals in his previous two matches against Liverpool and Sunderland. Swansea will be a test at the Hawthorns and, subsequently, Paddy are offering 9/1 on a Lukaku goal with a West Brom clean sheet against Michael Laudrup’s men. That seems generous again, and worth another £3 of our stake.

That leaves a single pound coin for our weekly treble, which this weeks backs goals for the in-form Luis Suarez and Villa’s Belgian target man, Christian Benteke, with a nod to Newcastle’s chances of a shut-out against Stoke. Paddy are offering up 16/1 on a Suarez goal against Spurs, a Benteke strike at Reading and a Newcastle clean sheet at home to the shot-shy Potters.

    Morning guys

    FFS Tam News says"Robert Huth serves the second of a three-match ban, which is likely to see Marc Wilson fill in at centre-half again, with Andy Wilkinson stepping in at left-back."

    If this is true I can hopefully field 11. DO we think Wilson and Wilkinson will both definitely start?
    thanks

      Suarez playing against a decent defence that have some pace, sharing attacking spoils with Danny Boy, a goal at most. Bale against an inconsistent defence that's, unfortunately, not blessed with pace. Glenner is Pool's only pacy defender but not a great tackler! Bale on mids points for goals to slightly out-point Suarez FF wise.

    Stewart Downing did a twitter Q&A session yesterday, some villa fans got involved and some of the questions asked were:

    "If you were a footballer, what would your preferred position be?"

    So you left Aston Villa for Champions League football. How's that working out for you?"

    "You finished 230948th on the Ballon D'or list, behind my mate Mark who plays for my school team. Did you expect to finish this high?"

    "How did it feel to have more arrests than assists last season?"

    "How did you feel last season knowing Tim Howard was closer to lifting the golden boot than you?"

    A bit fooked this week

    Guzan (Mig)

    Harte Enrique Shaw (won't start) (Zab, Hangeland)

    Lennon (i) Punch (Santi Caz, Pienaar, Mata)

    Graham Lambert (RVP)

    Considering 2/3 of:

    Ben Arfa (will he start) or cabaye
    N Zogbia
    Hoillet
    Courtinho
    Siggurdson

    Avoiding Bale, Suarez, Sissoko as I need the differential

    I am also thinking it would better to save my WC to field a team largely of top 4 clubs when they do a DGW? Can't see too much in the long run from fielding an 11 this week.

      Wow what a thought by you this week. Taking your son to the fantasy world. I never thought about that. Imagine you discussing your team and his team with him. And watching the games together. That is quality father son time if you ask me. How long till you show him the treasure ? 🙂

        Probably a few years away. He's only 8. Number two son is 3 so he's got even longer to wait. It's all sonic and mario at the moment.. No time for fpl in their world for awhile.
