ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 3

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.61
Rooney MUN 1.83
Bony MCI 1.90
Costa CHE 2.00
Remy CHE 2.10
Falcao CHE 2.10
Hernandez MUN 2.20
Depay MUN 2.20
Kane TOT 2.20
Giroud ARS 2.20
Iheanacho MCI 2.25
Sanchez ARS 2.37
Walcott ARS 2.37
Gomis SWA 2.40
Sakho WHU 2.40
Hazard CHE 2.50

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

Team Odds
Man United 1.90
Chelsea 2.00
Crystal Palace 2.29
Swansea 2.40
Norwich 2.50
Arsenal 2.62
Man City 2.70
West Ham 3.10
Watford 3.10
Southampton 3.10

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.

    Who to give the armband (C) ?

    Payet - Mahrez - Sanchez - Silva

    Gomis - Aguero - Lukaku

    1. Declan

    3. MagnetBPS
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Always Aguero, same league as Suarez.

    4. Moore FPL
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Aguerroooooooooooo

    5. woodenarmadillo
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If you has Kun .. You captains Kun.. It is known

    6. Paanmonkey
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks guys !

    7. 11 Angry Men

      11 years, 2 months ago

      Would say Aguero, especially after Jonty's fact that despite only scoring once against Everton in last three home games, he had only played 51 mins in total.

      Gomis is a good shout too, but City are in great form.

  2. Fishy
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Payet or gomis captain?

    1. Declan
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gomis

    2. Lucas Leiva
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gomis seems more fun.

    3. _Gunner
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gomis

    4. FantasTic
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gomis

  3. Dacra
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Just done Yaya to Depay, could regret that.

    1.4itb, tempted by Payet to Sterling.

    Is Payet that good?

    1. The_Colonel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sell him at your peril

      1. Dacra
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm not sure I can risk peril.

  4. Lucas Leiva
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Finished off my wildcard, think I'm just about happy now...

    Butland - McCarthy
    Richards - Martin - Kompany - Gomez - Francis
    Yaya - Payet - Shaqiri - Montero - Sanchez
    Wilson - Aguero (c) - Benteke

    Couple of punts surrounded by 'safe' picks. Only decided to do it Wednesday night so missed a couple of rises/falls (Wilson, Richards, Kompany) so determined to stick with Wilson through the fixtures now!

    Any glaring errors?

    1. woodenarmadillo
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This was more or less my front line till this morning now being tempted by Depay 🙁

      1. Lucas Leiva
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Tempted me too (Montero & Shaq > Depay & Westwood) but preferred the two options. United's fixtures also aren't that appealing.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Butland will soon be your only keeper

      1. woodenarmadillo
        11 years, 2 months ago

        this

      2. Lucas Leiva
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Could be a problem. No issue playing him every week until 10/11 though. Reckon McCarthy won't be as easily budged as people on here think.

  5. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    11 years, 2 months ago

    On a wildcard, thinking Shaqiri maybe the better option in the next few GWs that's putting me off getting Diouf

    1. woodenarmadillo
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wait a gameweek or two and see how he fares before planning your team towards that

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He'll be subject to rotation, despite his big name status. Walters is a regular and Arnautovic is class on his day

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Not to mention the host of other options they have. Worth getting if he nails a spot down, but not yet

    3. DK5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think I'll hold of on Stoke untill GW6. See whos on form and make a decision.

  6. fatherted
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Am I mad getting wham def (ogbonna)??

  7. MagnetBPS
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is there anything to show my mini-league's stats??? Like captaincy percentage and TV average

  8. Trigg ⭐️
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Triple City next week.

    Sanchez in for Stoke at home the week after.

    Wildcard intact 😎

    1. Jafooli
      11 years, 2 months ago

      FPL are recalling all WC's.....faulty airbags

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        11 years, 2 months ago

        One GW guarantee?

  9. MagicMessi
    11 years, 2 months ago

    4.5 Def >> Francis or Davies or Huth ???

    1. zon
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Francis

    2. The_Colonel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Francis

  10. No Pirlo No Party
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Play Huth or Francis? (Have Sakho and Chadli)

    1. The_Colonel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Francis

    2. st4rt__
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Huth

    3. No Pirlo No Party
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I have a feeling both will concede. Francis assist potential against Huth goal threat.

  11. gunnerlover
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Why can't you play any of your bench boosts etc when you've wild carded?

    1. Jafooli
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Them the rules....

    2. MagnetBPS
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Only 1 chip is allowed per GW

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Richards or Huth?

  13. SW6
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I'd be happy to captain any of my front 7 this week.

    This optimism before a GW can only lead to heartbreak.

    1. bodsc
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Same, so going for the safest option.

  14. SantiClaus
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Payet Chadli OR Sakho Depay?

  15. Jammy
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Payet???

    1. Demí
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Mane

    2. Dacra
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I was contemplating other way round..

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I am just after wildcarding I got Mane instead of Payet. If Mane flops/looks bad this gameweek I will make the change then..

    4. zon
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't rush it, Mane will get points... Though I've opted for Payet on my WC.

  16. JoeShmoe
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Start Redmond or Diouf ?

    1. st4rt__
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Diouf

    2. zon
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Diouf

    3. Paanmonkey
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Diouf

  17. st4rt__
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ogbonna, Reid or Jenkinson? Ogbonna leading the race atm.

    1. fatherted
      11 years, 2 months ago

      See above...currently on Agbomma.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Pick him then?

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Winston Reid for me.

        1. st4rt__
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Why?

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Reid if he's the same price...otherwise Jenkinson

  18. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Cabaye is a good pick for the scouts this week. Also think Shaqiri may do well in his debut if he starts.

  19. Black Panther
    11 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. FBorges
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B

  20. _Gunner
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney or Gomis captain ?

    1. fatherted
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney 0 goals, useless. ..
      Go missing 2 goals...v threatening

      Rooney it is then

      #fplcrazy

      1. fatherted
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Gomis

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney you will look like a genius if it works and fpl is all about bragging!

  21. Onwards
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Why am I getting a security warning when trying to log in to the members site?

    1. Onwards
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mods?

      1. Onwards
        11 years, 2 months ago

        States information is being sent over an unencrypted connection. Is this normal?

  22. KeepCalm
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Am i crazy to captain Rooney if I got Aguero in my team...

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Its a punt, but a good week to gamble before his ownership really rockets + fixture wise

    2. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I was tempted but just heard stat on Guardian football podcast that says that Rooney has only had one shot on target since February.

      1. Dempsey
        11 years, 2 months ago

  24. woodenarmadillo

    Can someone please help me with my Depay and Payet dilema 🙁 I am struggling terribly.

    1. Del Griffith
      11 years, 2 months ago

      go with your gut also there a big difference in price

      1. woodenarmadillo
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I have nearly 2.0 itb so not an issue for me atm. I was on Payet till this morning.... Manu has higher scoring potential possibly.. but Westham seem in better form

    2. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I have both but would pick Depay if I could only have one

      1. woodenarmadillo
        11 years, 2 months ago

        both? ooo whats your mid like?

        1. THE Wild Rover
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Depay, Yaya, Payet, Sanchez, Albrighton

      2. Ruth_NZ
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Me too. Depay or Eriksen is the last decision I am wrestling with.

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Depay

    4. Ravas
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would suggest Payet initially (he has better fixtures (bar MUN vs NEW) and then pick up Depay if he starts showing some form in the league.

    5. Red_mist
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Common would always point to picking a player who is on form and who plays for a better team.

  25. Demel
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke and Wilson

    Or

    Diouf and Gomis

    1. SW6

    2. FantasTic

    1. Valar(Keith)

        where can I find that mate?

  27. asif316uk
    11 years, 2 months ago

    what we think of this WC Team

    Butland, Mccarthy

    Darmian, Kolarov, Williams, (Richards, Targett)

    Yaya, Alexis, Payet, Mahrez, Redmond

    Aguero, Costa, (4.5)

    1. Demel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I don't like 4.5 attackers

    2. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think you should downgrade Costa or Sanchez and get a better 3rd striker with the saving.

  28. JÆKS ⭐
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Any last advice on this wc team?

    Myhill Butland
    Kolarov Darmian Williams Huth Richards
    Sanchez Silva Payet Mahrez Surman
    Aguero Gomis Sakho

    1. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Looks a solid template team. How much do you have left ITB?
