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.

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.

    Worth getting Sagna over Kompany to afford Hazard?

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

      Surely not! Zabaleta will come into contention very very soon.

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Not keen either, why Chelsea attack?

              I dunno, they are all expensive and have looked naff so far - I'd buy one then they stop being so bad, but not before

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

    Iheanacho has better odds to score than Hazard or Sanchez? :O

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      they don't take into account if they are gonna play/how many mins they are gonna play

      1. footballoholic
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        All right. Thanks

    2. footballoholic
      • 16 Years

      I clearly don't understand how this works

    3. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      The odds assume that everyone is going to start.

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

        Plus if it's 0-0 a striker is likely to be unleashed from the bench late and .has a grwat chance to break the deadlock against tired defenders

  7. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is Muniesa nailed for Stoke? thx

    1. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years

      For the short term yes

      1. Woeisme
        • 13 Years

        Nailed/ short term. Oxymoron

      For 2 weeks, then Int break, then Zaba's back. Just get Kompany and forget about it.

    Worth Having Courtois (5.4) and a 4.0 over 4.5-4-0 and Kolarov over Dawson?

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

    Captain Aguero, Sanchez or Depay?

      IMO

    2. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years

      I'm going Aguero so the right answer is one of Sanchez/Depay. Good luck!

    Sorry RP with new bonus option!

    Big decision before the deadline - appreciate some solid feedback

    Current team is:

    McCarthy (Myhill)
    Darmian Kolarov Williams (Gomez Richards)
    Sanchez Silva Payet XXXX Mahrez
    Aguero Gomis Ighalo

    A) Do I get Ayew (looking good) which makes it triple Swansea (a bit much?)
    B) Chadli for some Spurs coverage with good fixtures (playing high up)
    C) Drop for a 4.5 and get Sakho to double up with Payet
    D) Same as C) but with Diouf
    E) Take a punt on Shaquiri

    Please and thankyou someone help me

    F) Drop Payet and Ighalo and get Depay and Sakho with a 4.5mid as bench fodder

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B. Take a chance on Chadli. Who else is scoring for Spurs?!

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

        A few have said that and that was what it has been as a default all week - thought I might have been onto something with Depay 343 though?

        1. JabbaWookiee
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I'd give it this week to see how he does in PL. A CL qualifier against Brugge is a different kettle of fish.

        2. JabbaWookiee
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Now maybe you can lend me some advice...

          This week: Benteke, Diouf or Pelle?
          WC: Payet or Ayew (Swansea)?

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

            I'd say pelle? Haven't liked the look of benteke but that might be personal prejudice.

            I've got payet obviously but my gut has been saying ayew since the very first game - it's just that toss up of ayew/sakho or payet/gomis that is so difficult

  28. An Púca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Play Diouf (nor) or Anya (SOT)

    1. Milner4eva

  29. JabbaWookiee

    Ignore my last post! What I MEANT to ask was...

    This week: Benteke, Diouf or Pelle?
    WC: Payet or Ayew (Swansea)?

    Advice please!!

  30. simong

    WC nearly sorted but struggling to decide between Depay & Gomis and Ayew & Benteke. Leaning towards Ayew & Benteke as better medium term option. Thoughts?
