Paddy Says – Gameweek 36

With the title race and relegation scrap building to a crescendo, Fantasy Football managers are attempting to eek out the last remaining opportunities to gain rank and ground on rivals. We turn once again to Paddy Power to give us a fresh perspective on matters, tossing more variables into the decision-making mix.

Before we scan Paddy’s odds for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if you’ve yet to get yourself an account, our bookmaker partner offers regular weekend deals to new customers, loaded with enhanced odds.

This weekend is no different with odds of 16/1 available in their “European Acca” should you fancy wins for Bayern Munich (vs Borussia Monchengladbach), Dortmund (vs Wolfsburg), West Ham (at West Brom) and Arsenal (vs Norwich).

Sunday offers a host of boosted bets, starting with odds of 7/1 on a Liverpool win over Swansea at the Liberty in the day’s early kick-off (regular odds 6/5). That’s followed by huge odds of 12/1 on an historic Leicester victory at Old Trafford (regular odds 12/5).

You can also get 10/1 on a Southampton win over Man City, or double up on Sunday wins for Manchester City and Leicester with odds of 25/1.

Finally, if you fancy a flutter in Monday night’s encounter, you can pick up odds of 7/1 on a Tottenham win over Chelsea at the Bridge.

Be sure to check the terms 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.

Arsenal’s home tie against Norwich City makes them the standout option for Paddy this weekend, elevating the in-form Alexis Sanchez to the top of their goalscorer reckoning to mimic the opinion of our current Captain Poll. The Chilean is given short odds of 1.57 for an anytime strike against the Canaries, having scored in four of his last five starts. He will also be engaging Norwich defence that has conceded six goals in their previous trio of outings. Elsewhere in the Gunners’ squad, Olivier Giroud (1.83), Danny Welbeck (1.83) and Theo Walcott (2.20) also chart in Paddy’s top 10 with Paddy anticipating a comfortable Arsenal win.

Although Romelu Lukaku (1.72) posted blanks in his last five starts, Everton’s maligned marksman is priced down at 1.72 for the Goodison encounter with Bournemouth. The bookmaker is clearly wary of the fact that the Cherries have shipped 14 goals in their last five league fixtures.

Harry Kane can be snapped up at odds of 1.83 ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Stamford Bridge. The league’s top scorer has notched eight goals in his last seven league appearances and generally thrives in the capital, having tallied 14 goals in 18 London derbies. However, we obviously have to be aware of the impact of a potential Leicester City win at Old Trafford 24-hours earlier.

Despite netting in his last five starts, Sergio Aguero (2.00) places an unfamiliar sixth in Paddy’s current assessment. The City striker will be tasked with breaching a Southampton rearguard that’s failed to record a clean sheet in nine outings as he gives chase to Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.

Watford’s strike duo, Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney, come in at 2.10 for their home clash against Aston Villa. The visitors have conceded four or more goals on four occasions across their last 10 match-ups, which should motivate the hosts to dispel their recent FA Cup semi-final defeat and break a dry spell in front of goal.

Having been rested during Liverpool’s midweek Europa League showdown, Daniel Sturridge (2.25) sneaks onto the table. The former Chelsea recruit graced the scoresheet in each of his previous four starts and is pitted against a Swansea City back line that were put to the sword by Leicester City last Gameweek. Much depends, of course, on his chances of starting Sunday’s early kick-off, with Jurgen Klopp potentially turning to Christian Benteke (2.40) to lead the line as he prepares the Reds for Thursday’s Europa League second leg tie with Villareal.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 36

Manchester United2.40

Man City3.50

Arsenal (1.90) have notched four clean sheets in their previous six fixtures and will welcome a Norwich unit that has drawn blanks in four of their last six outings – it’s no real surprise to see the Gunners sitting atop Paddy’s clean sheet odds.

Watford rank next, despite claiming just a single shut-out in their last seven. Nonetheless they face a beleaguered Aston Villa outfit that has failed to score in five of their past seven league clashes.

Manchester United (2.40) still boast the best home defence (seven goals conceded) and have shipped just once in their previous five matches. That being said, they’ll do well to stifle a buoyant Foxes side that have carded eight goals in their last three matches and who will surely be going all out for the win that would seal the title.

Newcastle and West Ham United are both pitched at 2.50 for a Gameweek clean sheet. The Magpies play host to Crystal Palace, who have tallied just two goals in their previous four encounters. Meanwhile, the Hammers search for their first shut-out in six when they travel to a West Bromwich Albion side that’s scored in just two of their previous six.

Sunderland have shifted in from 3.20 to 3.10 overnight for their trip to Stoke City. The Black Cats have tightened up of late, claiming three shut-outs in their last four and conceding just four goals in six.

Liverpool are handed odds of 3.20 for a clean sheet in their trip to the Liberty – Klopp’s side have kept just one shut-out in seven and look certain to shuffle their defence ahead of Thursday’s Villareal clash.

    Which 3 to play?

    Smalling (LEI)
    Dawson (WHU)
    PvA (sto)
    Fuchs (mun)
    Lanzini (wba)

    1. Hanked

        I agree.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Thanks, feels wrong benching Fuchs and Dawson but someone has to hit the pine 🙂

          I'm playing Simpson, but would definitely bench for PvA if I had him.

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I do feel like a 0-0 is on the cards at Old Trafford but I'm seldom right!

            This dilemma is why I nearly saved a transfer this week. Instead I took a -8 😆

        2. Hanked
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          At a glance, without checking odds or stats, I would say that PvA and Fuchs have similar attacking potential but PvA has more chance of a CS this week.

    2. @FPLMason
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lanzini

    Morning guys,
    Opinions on the below please.

    Adrian
    Dier - Bellerin - Fuchs
    Townsend - Sanchez (c) - Mahrez - Payet
    Aguero - Martial - Defoe

    Bench: Daniels - Williams - Antonio

    Could play AOA and bench Dier to play Antonio?

    1. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      g2g, I wouldn't play AOA, just let Daniels come on if Dier is out.

      1. Grindhouse
        • 8 Years

        Thanks for your help mate

    Just listed 10 teams in the clean sheet odds above and Leicester ain't one of them. The best team in the league can win the title this weekend and are not fancied for a clean sheet. Really now?

    1. wormface
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      That answers my question below so

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I don't fancy them for a clean sheet.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        it basically saying Sunderland, Liverpool , Everton, Stoke (beaten 4-0 in each of their last 3 games) and Man City have a better chance of a cleanie

        1. GreenWindmill
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          The markets rarely go against Man Utd still. Money to be made if you think you know better 🙂

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

    3. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thems the odds

  5. wormface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Play fuchs or Antonio lads?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio

    2. Hanked
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Fuchs

  6. Bring on the shots
    • 12 Years

    Trying to find an Alli replacement - 5.8 only to spend

    Thinking Townsend or Lanzini?

    1. Birthday Sess
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'm going for Lanzini just for DGW although we saw how well that worked out last time

  7. Birthday Sess
    • 13 Years

    Mannone or De Gea

          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

  11. FPL ElasticO
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the best option?? Pls Guys Need some advice .

    a) Payet
    b) Townsend
    c) Fabregas
    d) Cresswell

    1. ssssshhh
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Payet

  12. Lizard Lips
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bellerin Lovren Gabriel
    KDB Coutinho Alexis Lanzini
    Defoe Kun Kane
    (Delaney Simpson Alli)

    (A) Coutinho to Fabregas or
    (B) KDB to Hazard

    City more likely to get knocked out so leaning towards A.

    Migs
    Bellerin - Gabriel - Toby
    Payet - Sanchez (c) - Townsend - Firmino
