Denied winnings by the woodwork after Robin van Persie notched one but struck the bar against Palace, we’re three Flutters down and still without a win. Nevertheless, we’re turning up with another tenner this week, determined to turn the tide via another array of Scout Pick’s inspired markets from Paddy Power.
Before we look at those, however, a reminder of Paddy’s special odds on offer for Sunday’s Manchester derby. If you’ve yet to sign up for an account with Paddy, you can get exclusive enhanced 7/1 odds on a United win against City. The regular odds are 23/10 so this is a great deal for those who register new accounts ahead of Sunday’s clash.
If you’re an existing customer, you can still take advantage of a Paddy offer – there’s a a money back special on Sunday’s clash – if United win the game, they’ll refund any losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.
Moving to this week’s Flutter markets, we start with the hot favourite for the Gameweek armband. Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud tops our poll with 22% of the vote ahead of Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge, with both strikers having claimed four goals in four league starts thus far. Both find a home in this week’s Picks, although we’re looking to Giroud to help us prise some cash from Paddy Power. Our bookmaker friends are offering 8/1 on Giroud scoring two or more goals with an Arsenal clean sheet against visiting Stoke; we’re happy to take them up on that to the tune of £3 of our stake.
As we move into the Scout Picks midfield, we find a man in form in the shape of Swansea’s Mihcu. Having notched in back-to-back matches this week, Michu makes a trip to Selhurst Park on Sunday, perhaps leggy from Europa League exploits but, nonetheless, sure to provide the key threat to Ian Holloway’s men. The Spaniard takes pride of place back in our Picks for the first time this season and Paddy have put odds of 15/2 on Michu netting a third goal in a week, with the Swans keeping a shut-out. We’ll gladly throw them another £3 of our tenner on this one.
Finally, Hatem Ben Arfa is another man in form and heavily backed going into the Gameweek. With Hull City visiting St James’ Park, many have already banked a third consecutive win for Alan Pardew’s outfit. If that turns out to be the case, then Ben Arfa is surely set to play his part. Paddy have a Ben Arfa goal with a Newcastle shut-out at 7/1, making it our bet of the week and enough to prise the final £4 from our mitts.
