Back in the Saturday morning slot, it’s time to pop in at the bookies to asses Paddy Power odds and add those to our pre-deadline thinking.

If you’re yet to register and fancy a flutter on today’s afternoon clashes, check this link out which includes odds like 10/1 on a Leicester win against Spurs and 13/1 on a Stoke victory at Carrow Road.

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. This special also offers up the bet £10 get £10 for up to £400 in free bets.

Be sure to check Paddy Power’s terms and conditions on all those bets.

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.

    Romero / McCarthy

    N.Taylor / Ward / Richards / Gomez / Muniesa

      No, he looks disinterested.

      • 14 Years

      I've gone for ighalo after some advice on here

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

      Wilson. Very good fixtures

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        This.just a matter of time..same with Ritchie who is pure brilliant

    3. Nihilist
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Undoubtedly Deeney as he's the main man at Watford. Ighalo is OOP and not even nailed on.

  7. gaz1185
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Butland mcarthy
    Kolarov Darmian gomez huth richards
    Sanchez yaya mahrez payet depay
    Aguero gomis ighalo

    Seems like a few options, or tempted to save it and see how next games go.

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

      Almost identical to my team. Ive got Williams in defence over Huth.

      Take it you will be playing 3-5-2?

    2. Pengen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd save

  9. Rambo Motin
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Darmian vs Shaw?

    1. TitusShambles
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw

      Darmian will get sent off soon

      1. Rambo Motin
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Hahah I reckon!!

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Darmian

    4. #WinterIsNotComing
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      WC is currently active and have got both.

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Who's more attacking?

      1. Rambo Motin
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Both pretty attacking but Shaw edges it

    6. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Damian. One player gets baps; the other not.

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

        The other will get more attacking returns. So, will be at similar points at the end of season.

  10. TitusShambles
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Quixk one guys

    Redmond or Arnautovic - or other 5th mid £6m to spend

  11. Demel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    What is your £9m defence rotation of choice?

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

      Ward/Richards

    2. TitusShambles
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Would rotate a £9m defender personally

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Prodl and muniesta

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

    I'm very uncertain about including Depay in my WC team. What are people's thoughts on him?

    1. gaz1185
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He has the potential to be brilliant today. But every GW is in question. I'm putting him in my team, but it i'll be hard to see how long for

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Best monitor for now.

    3. TitusShambles
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I think he and Utd will come good soon. Worth a go. Who wood u go for otherwise there are safer bets. Payet. Ayew etc

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

        Alternatives I'm considering are Ayew or Ozil, maybe Chadli as well.

        1. TitusShambles
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Take a gamble

    4. ortol
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm taking a risk on him, think he might hit some form now

    5. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Think he'll be excellent. Looks a secure starter on the left, and his partnership with Shaw is only going to get better and better. Won't be playing Club Brugge every week ofc, but that performance should do him the world of confidence and he should cause problems for most sides. For me, it was him or a city mid though, and couldn't have both.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        *give him the world of confidence

    6. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'm gonna take a punt for Newcastle this week & probs ship him out for Ozil next week

    7. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Included him in mine but he's also the one I'm least certain of. Not sure man utd attack is trustworthy atm. Think the arsenal 8.5 mids are better but not sure about doubling with sanchez

    8. Tmel
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Torn between him and Ozil (even though I have Sanchez). I'm taking a punt on him this GW though I think

    9. Fawell
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Do it, ive got him i rekon he'll be amazing

    10. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm in the same boat.. have just dropped Pelle to fit him

    11. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm getting him today, but holding 2.5 for the Sanchez switch next week

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

    Westwood nailed and a better option than Surman?

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

      He's nailed and on set pieces.

      I prefer him.

    2. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      People are saying Sherwood loves Westwood so nailed..

  14. #WinterIsNotComing
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Used WC during last GW2 and made few changes immediately.. team value currently 101.

  15. Team Zissou
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry guys, probably been done to death but what's the best 4.5 defender rotation, 2 or 3 way? Any help much appreciated

    1. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I meant best 2 way rotation not including Leicester?!

  16. JUNITED

  20. ortol

    1. Hangover United

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      yeah, I guess he could be (as could Bojan and Crouch), and but I think Hughes seems to like Diouf as his main striker

    2. krzys

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Doesnt matter if he plays or not. He hardly ever scores

  24. thebigblackcat
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Right, here goes.

    1. Sanchez, Yaya, 4.5 striker
    2. Silva, Giroud, 4.5 midfielder then keep 0.7 in the bank for transfers next week.

    Thanks guys
