Without an early kick-off to trigger an 11.45 deadline, we have more time than usual to consider our options before the bell tolls. That gives us plenty of opportunity to welcome Paddy Power’s thoughts on just where the goals will and won’t be scored over Gameweek 10.

Before we consider Paddy’s Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet odds, let’s have a scan of the offers that our bookmaker buddies are dealing over the weekend.

First up, there’s a tasty treble on offer with odds of 18/1 on victories for Chelsea (at West Ham), Arsenal (at home to Everton) and Real Madrid (at Celta Vigo). New Customers can also get the chance to collect over £300 in free bets until the end of the season if they bet £10 on a weekly basis.

The second Saturday offering drops in on the Emirates tea-time clash as the Gunners face off against Everton. Those of you who go without Alexis Sanchez as their skipper can attempt to cover themselves with a flutter on an Arsenal victory at 4/1; the regular odds on that result is 4/9.

Paddy are all over Sunday’s derby matches. First up, new customers can get a huge 9/1 on a Newcastle win in the Wear-Tyne derby at noon (regular odds 9.5). Following that, they can also pick up either 8/1 on a Man United victory or 9/1 on a City win in the 2pm kick-off at Old Trafford.

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.

An Arsenal trio of Theo Walcott, Olivier Grioud and Alexis Sanchez (all at 1.90) are joint favourites to score this weekend as Arsene Wenger’s side play host to Everton. All three are in fine goalscoring form, with Walcott having notched two goals in his last five league outings, while Sanchez boasts six in three starts. Considering that the Gunners racked up 11 goals in their previous trio of match-ups, Paddy are covering all the bases here and their odds seem to reinforce Sanchez’ position at the top of our Captain Poll.

Following the Gunners contingent, we find Chelsea’s Diego Costa – tipped at 2.00 ahead of the trip to West Ham United. The Spain international has struggled to exert his influence this term, averaging a shot just once every 48.8 minutes, but he did grace the scoresheet last time out against Aston Villa. The Hammers have conceded eight goals across their last four home ties, a factor which supports Paddy’s confidence in the Blues and, in particular, Costa’s claim for goals. Out of interest, Eden Hazard has odds of 3.10 on an anytime goal.

Both Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke (2.29) are tied ahead of their meeting with Southampton at Anfield. The Reds ranked third for attempts (69) and shots on target (26) across the last four Gameweeks but suffered from a 7.2% shot-conversion rate. With Sturridge still troubled by a knee complaint, Benteke is the most likely to get minutes against the Saints, with Paddy clearly fancying goals for the home side in this one; meanwhile, Graziano Pelle is out at 3.10 for the visitors.

Jamie Vardy is handed identical odds to extend his scoring streak to seven consecutive matches as the Foxes take on Palace at the King Power. Vardy is pushing Sanchez close for the armband as we head into the 2pm deadline and, while Paddy’s odds show confidence, it should be noted that Palace have shipped just three goals in four league outings on the road and have allowed just a single Big Chance to their opponents – fewer than any other side in the league on their travels.

Harry Kane’s odds have dropped from 2.29 to 2.50 overnight to reflect his current form and perhaps the fact that Spurs could be leggy following Thursday’s Europa League exploits. The misfiring frontman has only notched one goal this campaign but Kane will look to profit from a Bournemouth rearguard that places top for big chances conceded (15) over the last four Gameweeks.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 10

TeamOdds
Stoke City2.29
Arsenal2.29
Norwich2.40
Liverpool2.70
Swansea City2.75
Tottenham2.80
Chelsea2.87

Having recorded shut-outs in their last two matches, Stoke are tipped at 2.29 to rebuff the advances of Watford. The Hornets rank bottom of the league for goals scored (six) this term and tallied the fewest shots on target (nine) of any side in the past four Gameweeks.

Arsenal are tied with the Potters at the top of Paddy’s reckoning. Wenger’s charges will draw encouragement from the fact that the Toffees have drawn blanks in two of their last three road matches, whilst pointing to their own home defensive record which shows just two goals conceded from four matches, allowing just 20 shots from inside the box (ranked third).

Norwich City come in next at 2.40 as they gear up for a Carrow Road meeting with West Brom. The Canaries are yet to register a clean sheet but are pitted against a Baggies outfit that ranks bottom for Big Chances created away from home – Tony Pulis’ men have mustered just two from their four away trips and only Newcastle have registered fewer goal attempts.

Liverpool clock in at 2.70 for Saints’ visit – this despite the visitors nothing an impressive 10 goals in their last four matches. Swansea City (2.75) are price similarly for their trip to Aston Villa, given that Tim Sherwood’s troops have only scored in one of their four home ties thus far.

Tottenham (2.80) and Chelsea (2.87) round off our assessment of clean-sheet prospects. Spurs go in search of their fifth clean sheet in seven match-ups when they pay a visit to the Cherries. Meanwhile, the Blues will need to stifle a Hammers attack that ranks second for goals scored (20) this campaign.

      Lineups are around 1 hour the games. Deadline is 1 hour before games.

        1. Rushfort

          So deadline will be 1 hour before games ?

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Best thing to do is to linger around the official twitter pages of the team you have a transfer interest. But will be close as has been noted above.

  3. megatronaldinho
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    a minus 4 for like any defender in the game is preferable to fielding richards- is a new rule in my fplguidebook

    1. supperspout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      why?

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on the same decision. Who would you take a hit for?

      1. meerlight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        surely you play richards?

      2. megatronaldinho
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        i took a hit last week for bellerin which worked v well. but that seemed a good bet to pay instant dividends. this week's fix don't scream cleanies. i didn't mean it to be taken seriously. it's just that having richards means u will play richards and get 1 point from richards. best to get rid as soon as your sanity and patience are tested

  4. KloppForTheKopp

  7. Paramaribo

  9. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years

    • 13 Years

    1. Trigg ⭐️

    4. djenzio

      unlikely

  11. Mumble Pie

    Norwich will concede

  12. 1966 was a great year for E…

    2. Manamongst

  13. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Any more takers on the below please chaps? AOA time chaps? I fancy New to hammer Sun

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Possibly. Depends on your defenders. Alternatively bench one of the saints

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      double Saints attack at Anfield is a risk,

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I can see Liv tiring themselves out and towards the end Mane pace will hammer Liv defence

      • 15 Years

      If you think he'll score more, not just because it's a differential.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Williams, Villa's form is a lot worse than Swansea's

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      romp might be dropped

      play williams ahead of richards

    3. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      richards for me. flip a coin for cleanies and richards more likely to get attacking points.

  24. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Sánchez vs Vardy Captaincy Debate

    - Sanchez has had more shots in the box (in less playing time) than Vardy.
    - Vardys goals per minute is better (due to his current higher accuracy and his penalty duties).
    - Arsenal are expected to score more than Leicester this gameweek.
    - Last few gameweeks Vardy has had nearly double the shots on goal.

    Conclusion. Ask the missus to pick one!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      What's your missus' phone number?

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Haven't got one unfortunately, probably spend too much time on here amongst other things!!

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years

      I expect Palace to win

    3. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years

      Mahrez is on pens

  25. Mahesh_Kumar

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years

      why bench 2? play 3-4-3 and just bench Ighalo

  26. IrishOnion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Wildcard time...

    Butland (Elliot)
    Sagna, Janmaat, Bellerin (Van Dijk, O'Shea)
    Sanchez, Mahrez, Payet, Wijnaldum (Mane)
    Kane, Bony, Vardy

    Any suggestions ?

    1. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Elliot is not good choice as he is now 3rd pick with second choice back from injury very soon

      not sold on Kane, would prefer Eriksen for Spurs cover.

      at the moment you have triple Newcastle which is madness

  27. 1966 was a great year for E…

    Any DF worth a hit to get this week?

    A: Targett -> Moreno
    B: Targett -> Toby

    Or just play Richards (SWA)

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Save

      1. NATSTER

        Thanks.

  29. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Think United more likely to keep a clean sheet but think Kolorov more likely to get attacking returns. Difficult decision!

  30. Blattered
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    First post. Really enjoying all the articles and comments.
    I have a stinking cold and brain is failing me.
    Any idea of what I could do with the below?

    Czech
    Richards / Bellerin / Kolarov
    Mahrez / Sanchez(c) / KDB / Payet
    Kane(v) / Pelle / Vardy

    McCarthy / Francis / Targett / Westwood

    1FT £2.0 ITB

    Praying Kane is going to come good from this week on.
    Maybe I should save my FT for next week?
    Likely need a better defence.

    Thanks for any input and good luck to you all!
