Sunday’s acca finds Paddy offering 16/1 on victories for Man City, Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid across the European Leagues, while, for Monday night’s clash at the Emirates, you can get 7/1 on an Arsenal win or 18/1 on a Liverpool away win.

In line with our own Captain Poll, Paddy have earmarked Sergio Aguero (1.61) as the most likely to find the net over the weekend, ahead of his Sunday trip to Goodison Park. The Argentine looks in fine fettle after scoring and amassing seven attempts against champions Chelsea last time out. In appreciation of the Sky Blues’ unparalleled goal threat, back-up frontmen Wilfried Bony (1.90) and Kelechi Iheanacho (2.25) have also been afforded short odds against the Toffees.

Despite the fact he mustered zero shots at goal against Aston Villa, Wayne Rooney is tipped at 1.83 to open his account at home to Newcastle United. The favourable nature of the match-up also finds Memphis Depay (2.20) and Javier Hernandez (2.20) grouped near the top of the list, as the Red Devils search for their third consecutive victory and clean sheet. That makes Depay the most fancied midfielder to notch in the Gameweek.

Diego Costa (2.00) has been pinpointed as another player to pick up form, with Chelsea fancied to register goals at West Bromwich Albion, despite recent travails. Even so, Eden Hazard (2.50) slips out of the top 15 this weekend, reflecting the Blues’ inability to fashion a single big chance thus far.

Backed at 2.20 to notch the first goal of the new campaign, Harry Kane will fancy his chances at the King Power Stadium, having tallied four goals against Leicester City last season. Across the north London divide, Olivier Giroud (2.20) is favoured over Alexis Sanchez (2.37) when Liverpool pay a visit, while Theo Walcott (2.37) is priced prohibitively given that he remained rooted to the bench against Palace.

Scanning further down the list, Bafetimbi Gomis and Diafra Sakho are pitched at the 2.40 mark. The former has registered in both of Swansea’s opening fixtures and enjoys the prospect of facing a Sunderland rearguard that’s conceded seven goals already. The latter, meanwhile, will serve as West Ham’s principal goal threat in the wake of Mauro Zarate’s hamstring knock, as the Irons gear up for an enticing home tie against Bournemouth.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 3

TeamOdds
Man United1.90
Chelsea2.00
Crystal Palace2.29
Swansea2.40
Norwich2.50
Arsenal2.62
Man City2.70
West Ham3.10
Watford3.10
Southampton3.10

No side has conceded fewer shots at goal (15) than Manchester United (1.90), who are ranked as favourites to record a clean sheet for the second week running as Newcastle roll up to Old Trafford.

Only Sunderland (seven) have seen their net ripple more times than Chelsea (five) this term, but that hasn’t prevented Paddy offering shorts odds on the Blues (2.00) for their road clash against the Baggies. Those Fantasy managers holding onto the likes of Branislav Ivanovic and Cesar Azpilicueta will be encouraged by the fact that Tony Pulis’ unit have registered just eight shots inside the box.

Crystal Palace are priced at 2.29 to snuff out Aston Villa’s attack at Selhurst Park, given that the Villains rank bottom for attempts (12) at present. Elsewhere, Swansea locks horns with the Black Cats in pursuit of a second successive clean sheet, with Paddy offering odds of 2.40 for such a scenario. Norwich City – who shipped three goals in their last home encounter – are priced just back of the Swans at 2.50, as they play host to Stoke City later today.

Arsenal come in at 2.62 ahead of Liverpool’s visit to the Emirates. Despite carding consecutive 1-0 wins, the Merseysiders fashioned just five shots on target across those fixtures, which bodes well for the Gunners’ chances of a shut-out. Like the Reds, Manchester City are yet to concede this campaign but have been valued down at 2.70 due to form of Everton’s attacking contingent ahead of their Goodison Park showdown.

There are a trio of teams rounding off the top 10 with odds of 3.10. West Ham duke it out at home with a Cherries outfit that’s yet to score, while Watford and Southampton are matched equally for their head-to-head, with both sides drawing a blank last Gameweek.

    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you stick in with this lot. Decided on Butland over Myhill because of nailed-on ness.

    Butland Mccarthy
    Kolarov Gomez Richards Prodl XX

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Francis

    2. Butthead
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      How much do you have to spend?

    3. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Budget?

      Shaw/Darmian if you can afford it

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Darmian.

    5. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov and Gomez both rotational picks...risky
      And Speroni also might be back soon and Butland not worth a permanent first keeper

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Would you rather go Myhill or Schmeichel instead?

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Don't get McCarthy unless you are getting a premium keeper. You really want to play Butland every week?

    7. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      4.7 budget.

    8. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      The West Brom keeper situation has gone quiet since Myhill signed a new contract. I don't think they're after one anymore...

      Myhill & Muniesa 😉

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Should i put faith in you GB?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          You shouldn't put faith in anything.

          Take it all in and make an informed decision 🙂

          Myhill - McCarthy is risky, for sure. But it could be very lucrative.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Enquiries were made a while ago, but weren't pursued. Palace and Cardiff have said they have received no more bids.

          1. Lyonnais
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Would you go for Myhill on wildcard ? I really want him but this rumours are making me nervous 😀

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              I'm going with him.

              I take lots of risks though.

              1. Lyonnais
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                thanks !

                Yes I think I can remember a few RVP (C) last year 😀

    9. Ferris Bueller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If you're still going uber-budget them has to be Francis

    10. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Francis, imo.

      Also gone for Butland now mate, too many murmurs about Pulis being in for another keeper.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        It is confusing me. A lot.

    11. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going for Ward to rotate with Richards. If Gomez funks, I can swap him for Francis when he drops in value.
      I

      1. @FPLMason
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I also wanted to go for Kolarov instead of Kompany in my case, but the risk of Gomez's gametime forced me into having Kompany.

  2. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Pick 3 to play. I just cant decide this...my head hurts

    A. Gomez (ars)
    B. Coates (SWA)
    C. Huth (TOT)
    D. Targett (wat)

    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone out there keeping Rooney For one more week and getting Aguero next?

    If you could pick a captain out of Rooney and Hazard who would you go? I'm expecting a Chelsea reaction.

    1. Butthead
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Was but price rises forced my hand.

  4. Goonther
    • 14 Years

    Shaw, Kolarov, Richards
    Hazard, Özil, Depay (c), Payet
    Aguero, Gomis, Diouf

    McCarthy, Francis, Anya, Morgan

    only question is do I play Butland over McCarthy

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I like that the midfield is a little differen to the template, could work out for you.

      I'm playing McCarthy and have the same GKs. Stoke away from home don't see many CS iirc and Villa are still Villa

    2. Dreaming of Irene
      • 10 Years

    Who do you reckon will do best out of Hoolahan or Diouf this GW only?

  13. Tshelby

  14. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Was planning to do Ayew -> Mané.

    Bought Ayew at 7.0, he's on 7.1 and 99.6% to rise. Should I wait until he's risen before switching to Mané so I can make 0.1?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why on earth would you even consider that move

      1. Jimjam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Have Gomis & Williams and am unsure about 3 swans

      2. Moore FPL
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        This. U may not even want Mane if he blanks again.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ayew strong fixture today so keep

    Read a post - skip two pages to keep up.

  16. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A Kompany
    B Kolarov

    1. Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I've gone for Kompany, less likely to be rotated and you'll have more options to replace him with in the future

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        cheers!

  17. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Play Schmeichel(TOT) or Guzan(cry)?

  18. Black Panther
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Which one would you choose?
    A) Silva + Chadli
    B) YYT + Depay

  19. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    RP
    play Fab (sun) or McCarthy (AVL)?

  20. Lebowski85
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Silva Payet
    or
    Toure Depay

    I have no other West Ham attacking cover....and no Utd attacking cover.

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tough one.
      Really close but I think A slightly edges it.

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        same. Im happy with the balance of my team. Cheers

  21. Knallie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    WC team, any comments?

    I really want Payet in there, is it worth sacrificing Pelle, Gomis or Depay for him?

    Schmeichel / MCCarthy
    Kolarov / Gomez / Targett / Muniesa / Martin
    Sanchez / Silva / Depay / Mahrez / Westwood
    Aguero / Pelle / Gomis

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Mids and attack is fine. Defence needs work imo. Kolarov, Gomez and Targett are all not nailed on, change at least 1, probably 2, of them imo.

      1. Knallie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks for your reply.
        Plan is to update Targett after GW4.

        I thought Gomez was pretty safe though... any suggestions for 4,5, no leicester?

        1. Dreaming of Irene
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Think you would be OK for next 2 weeks at the back, after that you can easily switch Gomez to 4.5 and bank any profit - planning similar myself to Francis or Ming's at 4.4 if Bou show signs of promise. Target may be more tricky to move, but always a chance of player movements in last week of transfer window that brings another 4.0 to the table.

  22. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Keeping Rooney till now wants me to captain him over Gomis !

    thoughts?

  23. VRP
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Depay or Ayew?

    1. FantasTic
      • 11 Years

      Ayew

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Would like both, Ayew if you can use the money ITB.
