Our regular Saturday morning wake-up call finds us peering through Paddy Power’s window to decipher their reckoning on how and where the goals will be scored for the Gameweek.

Before we scan their odds for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, we should give you the heads up on a pair of stellar offers set up by our bookmaker friends for this weekend.

New Paddy Power accounts can take advantage of huge odds of 25/1 on a treble that backs Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea for wins in the Gameweek. You’ll also get your money back as a free bet if that treble loses.

Secondly, Paddy have a Sunday special, with 8/1 offered on both Watford and Palace to score in their Vicarage Road clash. Again, you’ll get your money back via a bet if you lose out.

Be sure to check the teams and conditions on all those offers and, of course, we should state that all these specials are only available to those aged 18. If you’re going to wager, always gamble responsibly.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 7

Player Team Odds
Martial MUN 1.61
Rooney MUN 1.72
Aguero MCI 1.83
Sturridge LIV 1.90
Sanchez ARS 2.10
Giroud ARS 2.10
Walcott ARS 2.10
Depay MUN 2.10
Wilson (James) MUN 2.25
Falcao CHE 2.40
Remy CHE 2.40
Origi LIV 2.40
Ings LIV 2.40
Mata MUN 2.40
Fellaini MUN 2.40
Iheanacho MCI 2.50
Kane TOT 2.70

A resurgent Manchester United outfit has a strong showing in Paddy’s assessment, with Anthony Martial – who’s notched three goals in two outings since his switch to the Premier League – the favourite to score in the Gameweek at 1.61. Ahead of the Red Devils’ home tie against a Sunderland side that’s ranked top for goals conceded (13) this term, Wayne Rooney (1.72) places second on the leaderboard. Memphis Depay (2.10) and James Wilson (2.25) also feature in the top 10, with the bookmaker covering their bases against the floundering Black Cats.

Sergio Aguero is knocked off his perch, then, but handed short odds (1.83) to record his second league goal of the campaign during a trip to Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City’s prime marksman bagged eight goals in his past four meetings with the North London club so will fancy his chances to score at White Hart Lane.

Back from injury and seeking full match sharpness, Daniel Sturridge (1.90) will look to get off the mark at home to Aston Villa, having made his first start of the season against Norwich City. The Reds frontman carded just two goal attempts last Gameweek but will be encouraged by the fact that the Villains have shipped five goals in their previous two road clashes.

Alexis Sanchez is the top ranked midfielder in Paddy’s list. Together with Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott, the Arsenal trio are all tipped at 2.10 as the Gunners gear up for a trip to Leicester City. Arsene Wenger’s side sit top of the league for attempts (121), shots inside the box (83) and big chances but have just four goals to their name. The Foxes are yet to register a clean sheet, though, which serves as a boost for Arsenal’s attacking credentials.

In the absence of Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao and Loic Remy are priced at 2.40 on the eve of a visit to Newcastle. Regardless of who Jose Mourinho elects to start, the chosen striker will fancy their chances against a Magpies rearguard that’s failed to keep a clean sheet in three home fixtures. Eden Hazard is placed just outside our table with odds on 2.75 on an anytime goal at St James’ Park.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 7

Team Odds
Manchester United 1.72
Liverpool 2.10
Chelsea 2.37
Southampton 2.50
Manchester City 2.87
West Ham 2.87
Watford 2.87
Everton 2.87

Manchester United (1.72) are the favourites by some margin to record a shut-out as they face off against a Sunderland attack that’s drawn back-to-back blanks. Liverpool (2.10) are next in line ahead of the Villains’ visit, despite conceding seven goals in their previous three outings. 

Chelsea (2.37) claimed their first clean sheet of the campaign against Arsenal last Gameweek and are pitted against a Newcastle side that’s scored one goal in the last five Gameweeks. Although they conceded three goals against Man United, Southampton (2.50) boast three clean sheets in four matches ahead of Swansea City’s visit.

There are a quartet of clubs (Man City, West Ham, Watford, Everton) priced at 2.87 to rebuff their opponent’s advances. Manuel Pellegrini’s rearguard will be tested at White Hart Lane, although Spurs have just three league goals in their last four outings and have scored more than one goal in the league just once, back in the Gameweek 2 draw with Stoke. Meanwhile, West Ham’s odds look a little generous given that they host a Norwich outfit that’s only failed to score in one league outing this term.

The Watford backline is yet to be breached at home this season ahead of the Eagles’ visit to Vicarage Road. Elsewhere, the Toffees travel to face a Baggies attack that’s only netted in one match-up at the Hawthorns this campaign.

    Thinking of playing AOA this week as I can't choose between Sako of Watford and Gomes of Swans...any thoughts?

    1. jonny3110
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sao AGAINST Watford I should say!

    2. Root
      11 years, 27 days ago

      It's quite important to know what your defense is.

    3. Woeisme
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Are your defenders dead?

    4. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      11 years, 27 days ago

      What defender are you dropping?

    5. Captain Peacock
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I'm Doing exactly that in the same situation so I say go for it

      1. jonny3110
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Dropping Gomiz - Liverpool. Probs won't start

    6. MaxiRobriguez
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Hold your chips for Double gameweeks or when you get more TV and have stronger players.

      Be decisive on your Sako or Gomis choice and go with it. I had the same dilemma and went with Gomis. Never once thought of using AOA chip this week.

      1. jonny3110
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Yea did think this, just can't split them! Sao playing up top against Watford...tricky!

        1. jonny3110
          11 years, 27 days ago

          I can't type this morning...SAKO against Watford!

  2. Angin out the Begović
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Drop Moreno for Zabs next week?

    1. Aussie_Toon_Lad
      11 years, 27 days ago

      They way sagnas playing he'll be lucky to get a game

      1. 32chickens
        11 years, 27 days ago

        yes i think revelation would be the word
        zabs injury has been very fortunate-now pelly has 2 functioning FBs on that side

  3. Sweetpea
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Quite fancy a a Wales win tonight.

    Warren g is seething and Wales been written off by media with injuries.

    Plus the English Milf is anti flair...

  4. Aussie_Toon_Lad
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Many captaining KDB?

    1. trequartista
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Just took the armband off him. and gave it to Alexis......

  5. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    If Cedric doesn't play tonight, I only have 2 defenders.

    Should I do Gomez -> Evans (-4) and play him over Francis?

    1. Chinu
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I am in the same boat and holding for now. Don't think its worth to take a -4 for defender.

    2. how now brown cow
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I wouldn't risk it. How's the rest of your team? All out attack chip is an option for this scenario...

      1. Koflok
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Team currently is

        Myhill
        Kolarov Cedric Francis
        Yaya Sanchez Mahrez Ayew
        Kun Wilson Martial

        Gomez Saylor Bentaleb

        3 unplayable bench either dropped or injured.

        I'm planning to get Payet for 5th mid play AOA next week.

        1. MaxiRobriguez
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Don't hit for a defender, it's not worth it. Bring in Evans next GW if you want. Evans would have to clean sheet *and* get bonus to make it worth while (and that's assuming Francis doesn't get CS or an assist).

        2. MaxiRobriguez
          11 years, 27 days ago

          PS your team is fine, no need to make any other changes.

  6. Federico
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Would you do Yaya -> Payet (C) for 1FT?

    Can't find anyone else I'd like to sell this week.
    Think I'll get KdB next week for someone else.

    1. Milner4eva
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Why would you want to sell YYT?

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      11 years, 27 days ago

      No. Hold. Yaya looked extremely menacing last game

    3. Jafalad
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Not for Yoyo. Who else do yuo have?

      1. jonny3110
        11 years, 27 days ago

        I swapped Yaya for Mata this week. Based on the attacking options and that Mata seems to be the main man for Utd this season...heavily overlooked! This seasons differential for me!

  7. Mahesh_Kumar
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Final wildcard team. Suggestions gents?

    Begovic - Mccarthy
    Kolarov - Cresswell - Evans - Cathcart - Francis
    Hazard - KDB - Payet - Mahrez - Moses
    Ageuro - Martial - Ighalo

    1. Captain Peacock
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Looking good. Do you have money for upgrading Iggy?

    2. Kevtheotter
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Beautiful

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Thank you.

    3. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      That's about ideal

    4. Costa's Counsellor
      11 years, 27 days ago

      My WC team:

      Myhill - Butland
      Zouma - Kolarov - Dawson - Nyom - Francis
      Payet - Hazard - KDB - Mahrez - Watson
      Aguero - Martial - Wilson

      So it's basically Wilson v Ighalo.

      I'm on Wilson because I've had him from the start and slightly prefer his fixtures. Good stats on the link below though.

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        11 years, 27 days ago

        I was .1 short for Dawson. Skipped Nyom because he seems like a card magnet. I had Wilson from the start too but sold him to have a strong 5th mid (Moses).

    5. Takedog1
      11 years, 27 days ago

      great team. only grumble i wouldnt have 2 west ham mids.

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Payet and Cresswell become Mane/Mata and Bertrand GW10. Moses stays forever as a decent 5th mid

  8. Sweetpea
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Trransfers done.

    Silva and Tekers > Vardy and Hazard (c).

    Leicester are playing like a basketball team. Lets hope they dunk the arse ....

    1. Kevtheotter
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Nioce

  9. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    11 years, 27 days ago

    It is nice to see a yellow color for a change in the Scout Picks.

  10. Captain Peacock
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Why is there so little love once again for Mahrez captain while his incredible run hasn't stopped? Arsenal also are playing without coquelin.

    1. Root
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I'd bench gladly him this week if I had even a slightly better 5th midfielder than Westwood.

      1. Root
        11 years, 27 days ago

        bench gladly him = bench him gladly

        I need to sleep.

        1. Mahesh_Kumar
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Log off

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Lets be realistic. Captaining Mahrez against a top 4 team is just pushing your luck.

      1. Captain Peacock
        11 years, 27 days ago

        A top 4 team without their DM who just conceded twice

        1. The Machine
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Relevant becuase arsenal will be down to 10 and then 9 again this week?

          1. Somalion
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Yes

    3. The Machine
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Arsenal the best defence they have come up against so far

    4. 32chickens
      11 years, 27 days ago

      yes arsenal with merty returning could be tight as a ducks backside?

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Is it really that tight? 😀

    5. Fred54
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I also picked upon Le Coq being out, but surely Arsenal know what Mahrez is all about now and will stop him.

  11. Reds United
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Myhill McCarthy
    Naughton Francis Kolarov Cédric Oxford
    \Mahrez Yaya Touré Payet Sánchez Westwood
    Martial Agüero Wilson

    Going with the 343 formation, who do I chose between Naughton or Cedric?

    1. Chinu
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Cedric for me, greater CS potential + more attacking potential

  12. eddscape
    11 years, 27 days ago

    OK, this the final, final WC team.

    Myhill Hennessey
    Bellerin Francis Kolarov Oxford Azpilicueta
    DeBruyne Ayew Mane Mahrez Payet
    Martial Aguero Ighalo

    Any comments?

    1. lequipe
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Maybe Zouma as cheaper alternative to azi

  13. ebow14

    Anyone here doing sun dream team weekly?

    1. Zero

    2. lequipe
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Begovic sorry

  15. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Morning all. A quick RMT before the masses invade. Starting Gomez because on the very rare chance he starts I prefer the fixture...unlikely to come on for a 1 point cameo. All transfers done so anything extra is for a hit. Thanks!

    Butland

    Kolorov - Gomez - Darmian

    Hazard - Yaya - Mahrez - Coutinho

    Aguero (c) - Wilson - Martial

    Subs: McCarthy - Francis - Westwood - Staylor

    1. mrpink32
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Very similar to mine but I'm worried about KDB vs Yaya, Sanchez vs Hazard and payet

      Countinho good punt this week- think will play a big part

    2. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      All looks fine for this week

  16. Shack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    What to do with two FTs?
    A: Gomez to Evans and save one
    B: Gomez & Gomis to Zouma & Sakho
    C: Gomez & Gomis to Zouma + another 6.8 forward
    I am thinking A but wondering if that is too cautious. Cheers!!

    1. Camp No No
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I like B for West Ham's fixtures, but their game puts me off quite a bit. May be worth it for about 4 GW's.

  17. mrpink32
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Start Target ( swa h) or Francis (stoke A)?

    Also Butland or McCarthy?

    Need to adjust my starting line up following the Gomez news. Start Richards (liv) or Williams (sou)? Cheers gents

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 27 days ago

      williams

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Richards. I feel Southampton will score for sure. Liverpool, not so confident

    3. Art Vandelay
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Cheers gents.

      The first two answers highlight my quandary.

      Any other thoughts?

      1. Gazza2000

        Williams

        1. Art Vandelay
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Cheers Gazza - nice to get a response from a footballing god.

  20. Burger

    Current team :

    Butland
    Darmian, Kolarov, Dawson
    Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez
    Aguero, Wilson, Martial

    Subs: Morgan, Westwood, Saylor

    Good to go?

  21. The Non Flying Dutchman
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Who performs better over next period of games - Sako or Moses

    1. Bunji
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Moses

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Moses. Carroll is back too. So Moses's crosses are something to think about

    3. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sako.

    4. 32chickens
      11 years, 27 days ago

      sako-shots on goal so far 10 in 4 games-he's a striker

  22. Bunji
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Chadli > 9.7, thinking Mata. Any other ideas?

    Rutland
    Azpi Kol Francis Cedric Huth
    Mahrez Payet Chadli Sanchez Ritchie
    Aguero Wilson Vardy

    2.7 Itb

    1. Chinu
      11 years, 27 days ago

      You don't have a city mid, so Yaya or Sterling

      1. Bunji
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Really only fancy KDB from City, see him as being super consistent. Maybe I'll save and get him next week..

    2. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Yeah I'm wondering the same.

      Mata, Pedro, Mane are contenders

    3. Art Vandelay
      11 years, 27 days ago

      If you fancy a punt, Oscar could be a great bet but has rotation worries. Mata is a great pick but United's fixtures turn after this week.

    4. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Might want to change your username...

  23. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Bench order for the following: Huth (ARS), Gomez (AVL) and Targett (SWA)?

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Only Huth will play imo

  24. Slartibartfast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Quick question!

    3rd DEF: Williams, Muniesa (I have Butland in goal) or Richards?

  25. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Guys, how did Sturridge perform against Norwich? He should start today as well right?

    1. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Leaked lineup had him starting yes.

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 27 days ago

    I really want Hazard in but the only way I can do it is by dropping Pedro. Is this too much of a sideways move?

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Yes!

  27. Eden Hazardous
    11 years, 27 days ago

    I am playing target over Francis.....

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Good call. I think Southampton are a good shout for a shut out this week.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 27 days ago

      What's so amazing about that? I imagine most will

    3. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Cool story Bro..

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Will he start tho?

  28. Kevtheotter
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Gomis to Martial -4 Looking tempting.....

    1. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Jump on and enjoy the ride.

    2. Art Vandelay
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Nah, I did it for free at 8.0, but after the rises for a hit is a no from me.

      1. Kevtheotter
        11 years, 27 days ago

        But the points will be the same

        1. Art Vandelay
          11 years, 27 days ago

          No they won't, you will have 4 less...

  29. Donblaster
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Struggling with my defence...which two to start alongside Kolarov...

    1) Huth (ARS)
    2) Richards (liv)
    3) Targett (SWA)

    OR

    4) Morrison (EVE)...AOA

    Thanks!

  30. Caesar Salahd
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Play Huth or Francis?

    1. Jafooli
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Just a guess but I reckon Huth might get dropped today.

      I'd go with Francis....

    2. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Francis, Leicester will concede a bucket load today.

    3. vaishakh1000
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Francis gets attacking returns so
