One Gameweek. Eight teams. Four fixtures. Six words: Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet odds.
Welcome to another episode of Paddy Says.
We have a small but perfectly formed schedule to talk about today. But before we can do that, we need to do this, ‘this’ being a look at the Enhanced Offers available for new customers signing up with Paddy today.
Such a reduced Gameweek means there’s only one Premier League price on offer and it’s Liverpool 5-1 to beat Burnley.
The Reds were back to their best in the 3-1 win over Arsenal last week and will entertain a Burnley side that currently has fewer points (two) on the road than a driver learning to turn their car around.
Three. They do three-point turns.
Moving on.
As a bit of a bonus, and seeing as it’s an all-Premier League affair, Paddy has also come up with two great prices on Monday night’s FA Cup quaeter-final clash between Chelsea and Manchester United.
The perceived wisdom is that Chelsea will prevail, and you can get a massive 10-1 on that happening.
But should the Red Devils take the spoils, there’s a whopping 16-1 available on that.
Enhanced winnings are credited in free bets. Be sure to check the terms and conditions that apply on all those offers and, of course, we should state that all these specials are only available to those aged 18 or over. If you’re going to wager, please always gamble responsibly.

For such a small Gameweek, the winning margin in our captaincy poll was enormous.
It was a Romelu Lukaku landslide, as befits a man who has been bought by nearly 300,000 new Fantasy managers this week, making him the third most popular purchase as Everton welcome West Brom to Goodison Park.
Paddy has duly slapped the lowest Anytime Goalscorer price (2.00) on the big Belgian, with another heavily bought player, Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, at 2.10 to score against Burnley on Sunday.
The most transferred-in player of the week, however, is Swansea hit man Fernando Llorente, who has enjoyed a 305,000+ surge in ownership as the Swans travel to Hull City.
The Spaniard has the form – three goals in his last two starts – and a certain amount of pedigree as three of his last five strikers have come away from home.
Another popular Gameweek 28 buy has been Bournemouth midfielder Josh King. His 3.25 price to score at home to West Ham looks generous for a man with back-to-back goals (and five from his last six starts) who is currently his team’s penalty taker as well.
CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 28
| Team | Odds |
| Liverpool | 1.80 |
| Everton | 2.00 |
| Hull City | 2.87 |
| Swansea City | 3.50 |
| Bournemouth | 3.75 |
| West Ham | 4.00 |
| West Brom | 4.50 |
| Burnley | 10.00 |
Liverpool top the clean sheet odds despite managing only one shut-out from their last eight matches.
Much of that is down to visitors Burnley, who do less damage on the road than a repaired pot-hole.
Despite all that, Nathaniel Clyne is the only Liverpool defender in the top 30 for transfers-in this week.
Only one defender makes it into the top ten, and it’s Everton’s Seamus Coleman.
The Toffees are 2.00 to blank visitors West Brom this afternoon, which would make it three clean sheets from their last four starts. A lot of Coleman’s appeal, however, comes from his attacking threat – the Irishman has a goal and three assists from his last six matches.
Hull (2.87) and Swansea (3.50) will be taking part in a good old-fashioned relegation dog-fight today.
A point would suit the Swans more, although they haven’t kept an away clean sheet since Gameweek 9, while the Tigers will be looking for their first shut-out since they managed back-to-back blanks in Gameweeks 23 and 24.
Fantasy managers seem wary. No Hull defenders make it into the top 30 for purchases this week, while the two Swansea men who do – Martin Olsson and Alfie Mawson – have a genuine goal threat to add to their appeal.
