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.

    Everton have won 2 and drawn 1 of the last 4 home encounters with Citeh.

    This is always a tough fixture for Citeh, so Aguero (c) not a banker.

    Gomis(c) 😎

      Was already a differential.. now just a differential that cost team value 0.1

      1. Del Griffith
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        yep, had to take the drop but happy to hold for the next 2 GW's

      2. Dreaming of Irene
        • 10 Years

      Muniesa

  9. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years

    1. LMFAO

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Bellend

    2. Paanmonkey

    3. 1zverGGademN
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I have them both and really tempted to start 'em, but as a pool fan I preffer to start only the arsenal def. Bellerin easy can take possesion on the Gomez/Moreno area causing damage.. This game never ends goaless 🙂

  11. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Vardy over Sakho, dumb or wise?!

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

      dumb if you have Mahrez, wise if you dont imo

  12. Roger's Canaries
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A - Silva and 4.5 def (already have Richards and Gomez)
    B - Yaya and Kompany

    Gomis or Cabaye for the next 6 GW ?

    1. LMFAO
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That's tricky but I would go with Gomis

    2. @FPLStrategist
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

  20. sneif4
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    My final decisions on a WC are with 4.5 defenders. I've been changing all morning and can't seem to fins a pair I'm happy with.

    Who do people think are the best to go with?

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

      Huth and Martin

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      depends on the other 3.
      i'm temporarily on targett and richards.
      will be muniesa amd richards in a few gws

      1. sneif4
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        If it helps: Kompany Darmian Williams Francis Richards

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

      I've got Huth Richards on my WC. Happy with that.

      1. sneif4
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I'd probably be happy with that too but BOU fixtures look really good.

        I had Huth from last season but not sure on them defensively. Maybe Inler may help though

  21. Thunder Warrior
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    On a wc, should I buy Francis now or wait next week and buy when his price drop? Is it worth ft?

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

      Buy him now, don't plan a transfer on a WC

    2. zon

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Courtois

  23. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Best 5th defender here - 4.5 to spend.

    Myhill / McCarthy
    Kolarov / Darmian / Williams / Gomez / XXX

    Thinking Ward or maybe a Leicester def, any thoughts??

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

      Muniesa?

      1. Mind över Mata

        Why so?? Don't think I'd play him over the next few weeks and it looks like he's going down in price

    If you have to choose one.

    A: No West Ham, e.g. Payet
    B: No Spurs, e.g. Kane, Eriksen
    C: No United, e.g. Depay

      No spurs, payet is defo gonna do something and depay is on great form after Brugge

    Will Cedric play or will it be same back 4 as midweek?

      Was likely resting cedric, he'll start. Southampton also didn't do well midweek so Koeman will want to switch a couple of things around

    Anyone else include Cabaye in a wildcard. Bad couple of fixtures after this week but Westwood can cover them
