→ 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

Yet again, we place our faith in the hands of a trio of Scout Picks as we look to get one over Paddy Power. Two of the top three midfielders in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game get our backing as does Everton’s fit-again forward as relegation candidates Cardiff roll up to Goodison:

First up, we head to the KC Stadium, where Man City are set for a testing clash against Steve Bruce’s Hull. With Sergio Aguero ruled out through injury once again, Manuel Pellegrini will be relying on Yaya Toure to maintain the form that has already seen him score 13 times in the league this season. The visitors need a win to keep their title bid on track and with Paddy offering 5/1 on the Ivorian to score and City to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to chuck £3 of this week’s tenner their way.

On to Goodison Park next, where Everton entertain struggling Cardiff City. This time around, Paddy are prepared to offer 6/1 on Romelu Lukaku to score two or more and the Toffees to register a clean sheet. The big Belgian has already notched twice in as many matches since returning from injury and Everton have conceded just once in the last three in front of their own fans. Cardiff may have won 3-1 against Fulham last weekend but let’s not kid ourselves – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side still look like they need a miracle to survive. This one’s our banker of the week, then, with Paddy taking £4 of our kitty.

Our final £3 goes on Southampton’s home game against Norwich. Paddy are offering 6/1 on Adam Lallana to score and Mauricio Pochettino’s side to keep out the travel-sick Canaries. The Saints skipper has scored five of his seven league goals in front of his own fans and considering Chris Hughton’s side have netted just three times in their last six road trips, we’re more than happy to back this outcome.

          I'm tempted by Suarez but on paper Sturridge has actually scored on the past 2 occasions against United so may go for him. I don't think Lukaku will do well to be fair and Hazard is a 50/50. May go Sturridge!

            I'm currently on Lukaku purely because he is playing Cardiff at home and has scored twice since being back! Arrghhh I don't know! The one good thing is that we have them in our team so we will at least get half the points..

            Hazard could clear up away to villa.

    Think I'm leaning towards getting AJ in next week not against Palace this week. Palace have a very reasonable defensive record, there are so few goals in games involving them and even though they've only kept 1 CS in the last 6 away, they only concede a goal or two under Pulis, even against the very best sides.

    Really torn on whether to get Yaya. Can't afford Mata > Yaya and could only do it for a hit. This hit could be Ox > AJ but I want to keep Ox and see how he does.

    Is it worth taking another hit for one week only (WCing next week) to do: Aguero -> Lukaku or just play Noone or Ward ?

      Same dilemma.

      I would hold but Kun will be out vs Fulham as well in all likelihood. Therefore a hit is justified for a DGW player.

      Strong this week, and good plan next week. What's not to like?

      Although not many DGW defenders there, if you take into account Kolarov might not play both.

      yep very nice, no sturridge/suarez this week could actually work out well. I'd just feel nervous not having suarez for the dgw, kuns injury probably makes him essential. however, you'll still have a solid front 3 for the dgw, definitely g2g for this week
