Paddy Says – Gameweek 11

Our Saturday morning ritual would not be complete without dropping in on our bookmaker friends for an assessment of their goalscoring and clean sheet odds.

Before we entertain Paddy Power’s current thinking, those without accounts should take time out to soak up another weekend of their big betting offers.

Paddy have prepared another four specials for new customers to cover the Gameweek, starting with the now customary accumulator bet. New accounts can gather huge odds of 30/1 on wins for Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Juventus and Barcelona over the weekend. This special also offers the opportunity to gain £300 in free bets when you bet £10 weekly.

Sunday will see Fantasy managers banking on returns for the likes of Graziano Pelle and Romelu Lukaku, and Paddy are offering the chance to spice things up further with a pair of specials. You can get 5/1 on an Everton victory over Sunderland (normal odds 1/2), plus another 5/1 on a Southampton win over south coast rivals, Bournemouth (normal odds 4/7).

Finally, on Monday night, you can get similar odds on a Spurs victory over basement dwellers Aston Villa – that’s 5/1 on a Spurs win at the Lane under lights (normal odds 4/9).

Be sure to check the teams and conditions on all those offers and, of course, we should state that all these specials are only available to those aged 18. If you’re going to wager, always gamble responsibly.

Paddy have brought in Wilfried Bony’s odds overnight, now pricing him at 1.83 from his previous odds of 1.72. That levels the playing field at the top of the rankings, with the Manchester City striker sharing the summit with five other players.

Only two forwards notched more shots on target (four) in the last two rounds of fixtures than the Ivorian, who bagged a brace against Bournemouth in Gameweek 9. Manchester City’s opponents, Norwich, have shipped 11 goals in their previous four match-ups, ensuring that Kelechi Iheanacho and Kevin De Bruyne handed similar odds, while Raheem Sterling is also placed in the top ten, out at 2.10. Paddy’s reckoning on De Bruyne certainly reinforces his standing as the optimum captaincy candidate for the Gameweek.

Harry Kane also ranks alongside Bony and the City options. Having snapped his barren spell with a hat-trick last time out against the Cherries. No forward amassed more shots on target (12) than Spurs’ premier frontman over the last four Gameweeks, which bodes well for his attacking prospects at home to an Aston Villa outfit that conceded 10 goals in their last four road clashes.

Ahead of Everton’s home encounter against Sunderland, Romelu Lukaku is also tipped at 1.83 to score, despite back-to-back blanks. No team has surrendered more shots inside the box (103) than the Black Cats this term, which bodes well with an Everton victory, with profit for Lukaku.

Southampton play host to a Bournemouth side that’s fallen to consecutive 5-1 defeats, so it’s no surprise to see both Graziano Pelle and Sadio Mane feature in Paddy’s top ten. Pelle is another who is granted short odds of 1.83 on an anytime goal, having tallied three strikes in five league starts and netted in their midweek League Cup encounter, while Mane comes in at 2.40, sharing the Gameweek odds with Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.

Arsenal’s contingent of goal threats are placed further down the pecking order but still strongly fancied by Paddy. During the last four Gameweeks, the Gunners ranked top for goals (13), attempts (76), shots inside the box (60) and big chances (14), although injuries to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey will no doubt cause disruption ahead of their visit to Swansea City. Even so, Olivier Giroud’s odds are strong (2.00) and he leads the way, with Alexis Sanchez following on (2.10) as the second ranked midfielder in the top ten.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 11

TeamOdds
Tottenham2.00
Manchester City2.00
Everton2.10
Southampton2.25
Manchester United2.40
Chelsea2.50
Arsenal2.62
Newcastle United2.87

Paddy can’t separate Tottenham and Manchester City at the top of the clean sheet odds rankings. No side has conceded fewer goals (four) in the previous six Gameweeks than Spurs, while City have failed to earn a shut-out in their last three home fixtures but will fancy their chances of stifling a Norwich outfit that drew a blank at home to West Brom last weekend.

Everton’s short odds (2.10) are a product of the fact that Sunderland have failed to net a solitary goal in their previous trio of away ties. Meanwhile, Southampton (2.25) host a Bournemouth attack that’s failed to register a single big chance in their last two outings.

Manchester United (2.40) face a road clash against an out-of-sorts Crystal Palace, who’ve drawn blanks in their of their previous six matches. While, Arsenal look good value out at 2.62, considering that they’ve chalked up five clean sheets in eight and the Swans scored in just three of the last six Gameweeks.

Chelsea’s odds have dropped from 2.72 to 2.50 overnight, as Paddy’s confidence in Jose Mourinho’s men increases. The Blues play host to a Liverpool side that’s carded just five goals in their last four outings. Finally, Newcastle United prop up the top ten: they have just one clean sheet to their name this term and have shipped 13 goals since Gameweek 7, yet are tipped at 2.87 ahead of Stoke’s visit to St James’ Park.

    Myhill top on cs 6 in 10, who does he face today?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      A team that's scored in every game

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        So that means this team will score in all 38 games and the forward will get 38 goals?

      These kind of posts are a bit pointless cos the people with more differential captains will tend to post (ie not KDB)

    REPOST SORRY GUYS 🙁
    Ok so I know this has been asked so much but i'm going to WC aguero back in and I am going to replace Sakho with 2 Mill ITB currently leaning towards Pelle but also like Bony and any others (I cant afford Kane) any help will be REALLY appreciated as to who to bring in
    My attack currently consists of Costa Sakho Ighalo
    Cheers in advance

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Bony for next 2

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Lukaku

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Ok so this has changed every thing!

    4. OneTwo
      • 14 Years

      Bony but be prepared to ship him out after next gw

  12. hannesdela
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    2 FT's.

    1. Myhill to Howard
    2. Dawson to Kolarov

    Go or no-go? My midfield and forward don't need a change.

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Do it

    2. Arsenal4Life
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Howard rotation risk

  13. Shifty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sterling fit to start lads?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 9 Years

      No

  14. Jinkys Oars
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Nice and simple 😉

    KDB or Mane for captain?

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      KDB

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Same dilemma for me. Going Mane

    3. krzys
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      KDB

    4. jernej93
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      It's not that simple 😀

    5. Shipstontrev
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      KDB

    6. Cristi@no R7
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      KDB

    7. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Which game do you fancy ending up a thrashing?

      1. Jinkys Oars
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Both games could potentially be a thrashing, hence the difficulty in picking between KDB and Mane!

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Yes, but which is more likely?

        2. Numb
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Hint: look at the "goals for" column

  15. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    After a week of calculations it came down to me deciding with a drunk transfer. Bought Kane and Kolarov, no regrets 🙂

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Kolarov?!! Ooooooow

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Will start today and I'm hoping for some attacking returns, still have a WC, so I can afford such transfers.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Though Rodagellabomb has made a convincing argument to captain

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Will pay off

    3. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I'll remember not to waste advice on you if you end up going with the bottle anyway! 😉

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        haha I think drunk me still remembered all advices you gave me and made 2 sober-like transfers 🙂

    Butland

    KDB Mata Sanchez Payet Mahrez
    Pelle Vardy Ighalo

    McCarthy, Evans, Nyom, Francis

    Good to go or would you play Evans and bench Ighalo?
    Also is Mata --> Mane or Ighalo --> Lukaku worth -4?

    Does anyone think Hazard will even reach 100 points this season?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      no, he will be at Real Madrid at January

    2. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Easily 160ish total

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Even if he continues at his current rate , he is projected to get 140+ points

  20. Norb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Who to bench of

    A) Payet (wat)
    B) Vardy (wba)
    C) Mahrez (wba)
    D) Ayew (ARS)

    1. Jape
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      D

    2. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Ayew if pushed

    3. Cristi@no R7
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      C

    4. L P
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Ayew

    5. Nickk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Doubling up on Leicester might not be wise at West Brom. Maybe drop Mahrez?

      1. Norb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Just what I was thinking. But then would be so mad if Vardy blanks and Mahrez going back to his early season form. Think I'm just gonna go Ayew, don't see Swansea getting much from Arsenal tbh

    6. Norb

      Kick off - 60 mins

    Sorry, repost, but:

    Play Payet or Vardy?

    McCarthy

    Kolarov Bellerín van Dijk

    Mané(C) Payet Mahrez Sánchez Ayew (the Swansea one)

    Ighalo Bony(VC)

    Bench: Vardy Huth StevenTaylor Ruddy

    Will Watford stop Payet point collection? If yes, then play Vardy instead of Payet?

    I didn't watch the Everton game midweek, but did Lukaku look threatening whatsover in 120 minutes?

      Not sure, but might be tired after 120 min now?

    Mahrez --> Mane for a FT?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes

    2. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I'd do it

      no much love for Mahrez around here

      No need to sell Mahrez

    Many benching Ayew... So was I until Silva was out again so I'm forced to play him now. Would love a goal from him!

      He's already scored against Chelsea and Man U. Lets hope he adds Arsenal to that list!
