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.

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.

  2. Kroos Kontrol

    I had two FTs this week and one of them went on going from Walcott to Yaya Toure. I am thinking on using my other FT to remove Coates for a Swansea def (or someone else who is at 4.7).

    The thinking is that if Rooney, Hazard and Depay fail along with my defence I'll WC next week (GKs need sorting too).

    McCarthy
    Mertesacker Cedric Huth
    Yaya Depay Hazard Mahrez
    Rooney Wilson Aguero(C)

      Not sold on Wilson. Rest looks good

      1. krzys
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks!

    2. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 2 months ago

      One of the better Aguero/Haz/Alexis teams I've seen. Just not sold on Wilson yet.

      1. krzys
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Very good fixtures. Attacking team. I think he'll be fine.

  6. JaydenLFC87
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Which pair for the long run???

    A) Depay\Yaya

    B) Silva\Payet

    1. Murph1
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. NATSTER
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A

  7. Sting
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard or Sanchez?

    1. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez atm

    2. Trigg ⭐️
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd much rather (C) Sanchez and he looks more threatening based on the first glimpses.

  8. NATSTER
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez - Yaya - Mahrez - Depay - XX
    Aguero - Gomis - XX

    A: Payet + Diouf/Sakho
    B: Chadli/Shaqiri + Sakho
    C: Westwood/Surman + Kane
    D: Eriksen + Deeney/Ighalo

    I feel Spurs could continue doing well in attack, but I may have no West Ham in C & D.

    1. Buck The Trent
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not worried about bench points in a and b ?

      1. NATSTER
        11 years, 2 months ago

        A bit worried. That's why I'm leaning to C & D, but I ended up with no West Ham.

  9. Unconstitutional
    11 years, 2 months ago

    A) Payet and Inghalo (Inghalo benched, 3-5-2)
    B) Benteke and Westwood (Westwood benched, 3-4-3)

    1. krzys
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This week A. Long run B

      1. Unconstitutional
        11 years, 2 months ago

  11. GuillermoDickero
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Last week everyone was going on about how the market "was going crazy" etc with price rises. Now looking back, is anyone a bit underwhelmed by the price rises this week?

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah... it seems like it's going to be more a case of protecting TV by avoiding price falls this season

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Glad I not wildcarded if that is what you mean
      .was close.prob regret after this gw

    3. An Púca
      11 years, 2 months ago

      indeed...WC tfers not counting is a bummer

      1. GuillermoDickero
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I didn't WC this week, but I was thinking about it as it seemed that Aguero would be a triple riser this week but he didn't. And some of the other big scorers from last week only rose 0.1. Just seemed a little underwhelming after a week that seemed to have so much promise

  12. Crouchy
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Richards, Targett or Gomez ?

    1. NATSTER
      11 years, 2 months ago

      To play?

      Targett

  13. Nickk
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I miss the days when my front 3 was Keane Berbatov and Torres. They teared everyone up in my mini league.

    What your favourite FPL memory?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A Leon Osman brace on the final day to win me my ML.

      You couldn't write it.

    2. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kolarov getting me 20pts was a good memory.

      1. Nickk
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I've seen someone captain him and Van Aanholt when they hit double figures!!

    3. Fernando Torres
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Andy Carroll 3 goals vs Villa for Newcastle ha

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

      Captaining Dempsey for his Hattrick vs Newcastle when no one in my mini-league seemed to own him

  14. Trigg ⭐️
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Points prediction for Aguero? Serious answers only, give this some thought, people.

    I'm saying 8.

    1. Jax
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2

    2. The Machine
      11 years, 2 months ago

  15. Jax
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone Sakho (c)?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      11 years, 2 months ago

      West Ham are far from being included in the teams I trust.

  16. Pellegrini Falcon
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mane worth holding onto? or transfer out for Ayew/Depay/Payet?

    1. gaz1185

    Kompany, Targett, Gomez, Oxford, Richards
    Mahrez, Silva, Sanchez, Hazard, Westwood

    1. Buck The Trent

    2. Pavsboot
