Paddy Power Special – 5/1 for City to Win or 14/1 for United to Win

With the first Manchester derby of the season set to take place later today, Paddy Power are rolling out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. With City set to welcome United to the Etihad this afternoon, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 5/1 for Manuel Pellegrini’s men to arrest their recent poor form and grab a win or a massive 14/1 on Louis van Gaal’s emerge victorious:

If you already have an account with Paddy, though, you can still take advantage of a Money Back Special. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if it ends in a draw.

To clarify, both the City and United enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified. New customers can only opt for one of the two offers.

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.

    What to do with this lot?

    Bego, Krul
    Baines, Clyne, Dummett, Taylor, Moreno
    Downing, ADM, Fab, Sigs, Tadic
    Berahino, Aguero, Welbeck

    1FT 0.4 ITB
    Would love to get Sanchez in somehow, but only necessary transfer is Moreno --> Chambers?

      It would require multiple hits to bring Sanchez into that squad. not worth it imo

    I was repeatedly insulted and received incredible amount of grief the last couple nights for suggesting that Costa would be rusty after 3 weeks away from the game. Some went as far to suggest that I was regretting my decision to sell him, fronting an act, and trying to put a brave face on it. Now all these (C)osta people are nowhere to be found.

      I see your point and it does happen on here, but the opposite could have happened just as easily, and you would not be found.

      Just like the other week, when some people suggested that City v Spurs would be a tight game.

        The game deals in probabilities, rather than absolutes

          exactly dr rog. The community doesnt seem to fathom this

        Virtually impossible to predict. I was just giving an opinion from a different angle but seems like the unpopular opinion is deeply frowned upon on here. People refuse to see things another way or even consider another perspective even if you dont agree. I was blessed to be able to play for 15+ years at a pretty high level and every time I got injured (or had a teammate injured), it took a few games (weeks) to get back to speed and find your touch again. Its very difficult to just pick up where you left off no matter how good you are.

          • 12 Years

          Rubbish. What about players like Aguero or Ramsey who have no problems with scoring first game back from an injury?

          1. RubeRx
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            You will always find an exception and its normally comes down to the specific injury, length of time missed etc etc. You can't duplicate game situations in training no matter how hard you practice. Many time you don't know how you will react until you get into the game. There are times when you can come back too soon and injure yourself again. And like you said, there are players who can just come back and make an impact right away but if you look at how most managers deal with their respective injury issues, they usually try to be conservative and ease the players back into it.

      Yep you were right to stand by your convictions. If you were convinced then no one can tell you your regrets if you don't harbour any.

      Who exactly you talking about?

      Because I backed Costa over the last 3 weeks captained him yesterday got 34pts and I'm still here.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        It wasn't you Tony, I think if i see the screen name Ill be able to recognize it. I try not to remember these people just to go pick a fight later, not trying to be controversial, just offer a different perspective. I think one had a Bale avatar if i remember correctly.

    4. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      i m a (C)costa..never regret keeping costa but captaining him over sanchez looks abit silly now.

      ignore some people..everyone is entitled to their opinions but should be in a friendly manner.

      sometimes it really pay off to be different..last gw i sold sterling and tadic-> downing sanchez...and read many on here say sterling is a keep, sanchez too $ etc..but ultimately u have to trust urself to make a decision yeah.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Absolutely I agree that you ultimately make your own decision. Hindsight is always 20/20.

        The other common phrase was that Sanchez was just 'lucky'

        It's difficult to judge people responses online bc sometimes you can't tell if they are being sincere, sarcastic, or condescending. Sometimes they may just be joking around.

        Just feels like there is more negativity on here as opposed to those with good intentions.

      ppg/million and Sakho is top

  4. Kip

    tough decisions to make:

    *got kinda bottomed, time is running out*

    Bego Hamer
    Ivan Clyne Wisdom Moore Duff
    Fab Eriksen Sterling Siggy Albrighton
    Kun Costa Pelle

    2FT, 0.0itb

    A) Sterling+Ivan => Sanchez + Chambers
    B) Sterling+Pelle => Sanchez+Sakho
    C)Sterling+Clyne+Bego => Sanchez+Foster+Saylor (-4)
    D) wait it out, let the ship sail

  5. Los Pollos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    A) Steling, Siggy and Welbeck ---> sanchez, downing and berahino ?

    Or

    A) Sterling, Ivan and Welbeck ----> Downing, Dummett and Aguero ?

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years

      A

    2. Nickofoz

      For free?

    2. Los Pollos

      only if u have nothing else pressing

    3. Wave of Mutilation

      Did it earlier today. Felt great.

  7. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Just did Bertrand to Dummett and Sterling to Sanchez.

    Leaves me with:

    ......................Guzan
    .........Baines, Clyne, Chambers
    Sanchez, Di Maria, Fabregas, Sigurdsson
    ..........Pelle, Welbeck, Aguero

    McCarthy, Dummett, Boyd, Duff

    How does that look?

    Cheers.

    1. FPL Blow-In

      Why did you sell Bertrand playing at home to Leicester next?

      1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Was going to go with 1 Soton defender for the rest of the season once their good run of fixtures ended, and the imminent Alexis price rises gave me a good reason to do so early. May surrender a few points but would rather not be scrambling to grab Sanchez for 11.0 in a couple of weeks.

    Howard, Gilks
    Chambers, Cahill, Clyne, Wisdom, Naylor

    Sanchez , Sigurdsson, Sterling, Marney, Mané
    Costa, Welbeck, Aguero

    0 in the bank, 1ft

    Sterling the concern..
    Cahill needs to go soon too I think to upgrade the MIDS.
    What would u do here?

    1. Sz21

    3. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep, although is prefer Sanchez and Hazard of you don't have them

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I don't understand how Hazard could be preferred to either Sanchez or ADM

  10. izo

    Lost on previous page...
    Sterling and Tadic to Sanchez and Downing?
    For a - 4?

  11. UKG
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    From 11am today....should have not worried about the 4 point hit and just blooming done these moves....sigh.

    UKG

    Fabregas > Sanchez
    Sterling > Chadli

    -4 ?

    Have the bandwagon urge to get Sanchez in and money is tight everywhere else in current team. Do these moves work, would mean I move to no Liverpool cover and just Costa for Chelsea.

  12. Jinswick

    Morning DZ,

    Best to save the transfer this week, or do I need me some MUN cover?

        Yeah it's quite a performance from Gyllenhaal. Oh yeah Gone Girl was very good, although I can't imagine watching that with a partner!

    Siggy to Downing make sense?

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking about it.

      Siggy -> Downing this week and then either:

      A) Pelle -> Bony or
      B) Chadli -> Siggy

      in a couple of weeks

  15. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Had to make a defensive transfer instead of an attacking one.

    Was all set on buying ADM this week but got Sanchez instead.

    Sanchez is gonna sky rocket in price this week and ADM is going down. And if Sanchez continues his form he'll be 11.5m in no time.

    Had to make the move tonight in order to have the team I want for the coming gws.

    Now i can just about afford all of Aguero,Costa,ADM,Sanchez,Fabregas and Baines.

    1. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      he is 11.5 FYI

      1. Kip
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        11.6

      2. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        scratch that, of course i meant 10.5, except he just bumped up to 10.6 so i just made a mess of it LOL

      Nice. Who is your third striker?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Pelle.

        But would have to get Sakho/Berahino to afford the big guns.

        1. Barry Woj
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Ah OK yeah same. Can't decide whether Baines is worth it or not. Probably is if either of those strikers can keep up their form.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            True.

            But i think Baines is in for a big season.

            1. Barry Woj

    What to do with this lot? 102.8 TV, 0.0 ITB.... 2 FT's but cant see where to use them easily, too much cash tied in up top and through the middle.

    Wildcard still available, but reluctant to use, appreciate I have got deadwood in the team right now....

    Who would you swap Sterling for? I literally have no clue.

    For the first team this season I'm unhappy with my team and feel it's imbalanced and lacking one of Di Maria, Sanchez or Hazard.

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Chadli, Sigurdsson, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Does this not make my midfield too weak though?

        1. mgilbert86
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          alot of your money is in the forwards so you have to accept that, maybe do siggy to downing and upgrade from the money saved?

      FFF nailed the risers apart from Fab. They got most or the fallers too I think.

        They predicted 10 of the fallers.

      Nice Fabregas rise. 😀

      As expected, Sterling > Downing was a +0.2 swing.

      Don't know if I'll see the same benefit from Moreno > Chambers this week, but it feels fantastic to be rid of 'Pool.
