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.

    1. Syd.

      Correct order

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Strong bench, considering mine is Richards, Westwood, Oxford

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ouch

    Was pardew playing hustler with his comments about lots of goals? Palace to park bus?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pardew doesn't have a bus.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        This

    2. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Think they'll set up to counter as normal.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        This

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Managers just talk garbage to give the press something to print

      Would read nothing into it

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        This

    4. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, but 2 naturally quick counter attacking teams against backlines who are vulnerable to pace

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not this

  5. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Pick 1 to play:

    Hutton
    Cedric
    Cresswell

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

      Cedric

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hutton

    3. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking cedric, can I ask why you have a villa defender?

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I had exactly 4.3m to get a defender as the makeweight when I bought KDB.
        It was either Hutton or Hangeland.

        1. Dukes of Hazard
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I had the same issue, plumped for hangeland in the end. Tim mental tactics plus the fact i ate owning players I hate in my team meant Hutton was never an option.

  6. blind faith
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Also...

    A) Mane
    B) Pelle

    Who will score more?

    1. Nascimento

      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pelle

  7. Nemanja Vidic
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Ighalo, Bojan or Ayoze?

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ighalo

  8. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one:

    A)Huth
    B)Kola
    C)Cedric
    D)Williams

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Cedric

    3. JJO
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I would bench cedric
      But everyone here will say Huth

  9. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I'd be very dissapointed if Manchester derby will end 0-0.

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't mind a 1-1

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I won't be.

    3. FPLCEO
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I won't with both Kolorov and Darmian in my 11! It is possible but I would think a score draw was most likely

  10. FPLCEO
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Going for Kane over Vardy (To replace Gomis) as think he will score more over the next two.

    Anyone with me?

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I've got Kane… but would never get him over Vardy 😕

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

        I wasn't planning on it either but think Kane is the one to have for next two and nice to have a differential

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't transfer in someone in horrid form for someone else in very similar form.
          Vardy is a must have imo.
          Kane for me is more like a punt.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No

    3. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Have them both

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

        That is ideal! I would want that but keeping Martial for Unites fixtures.

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

      Selling Gomis before he plays Villa is a big mistake 😉

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

        Don't think he will even start

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

      This is worse than my question. First post of the article

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No
        Your question was worse

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling better than Payet?

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            To own? Yes - but as you can own only 3 City players , Payet is better

            1. Pochecinno
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Wow, that's some serious faith in Sterling. I'm interested to hear your reasoning

              1. Eden Hazardous
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Man City will score more goals , West Ham have tougher fixtures - and ur options were Oscar/Willian 😀 😆

                1. Pochecinno
                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  Hold on a second, arent you a Chelsea fan? Only Spurs fan can self-depecrate like that

                  1. Eden Hazardous
                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 4 months ago

                    I am but we have worse than Spurs this season

                    1. Eden Hazardous
                      • 11 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      Hmmm, start finishing 5th and then finish 4th and still not qualify for UCL. Then you can start laughing at yourself

            2. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Plus Oscar/ Willian 😆

      Moreno though

    2. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years

      I have him, the bonus points off the bench were brilliant but there are better option in that price bracket and the fixtures are iffy at best

    2. Captain Blanks

      G2G, but IMO you will want arsenal attacking coverage in future

      1. dehat
        • 11 Years

        Best option ?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sanchez for safety and reliable captaincy option, walcott potentially better value if you like headaches

  14. Trovsmash

    Hmmm, in the goals conceded away from home table, Everton & Crystal Palace are currently in Champions League places!

    Something to consider in the Sanchez/Vardy(c) debate imo.

  21. JeanAlain87
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Really not sure what to do this morning... bench Ighalo or Berahino?

    Watford up against Stoke who, with Butland, have had a couple of shutouts recently and Watford have only scored 6 so far. That said, Ighalo has been the main man for them points wise. On the other hand I've got Berahino with WBA up against Norwich away who's defence looked terrible against Newcastle last week. Could be a decent differential as well? 8.4% ownership. Here's my team:

    Butland

        Hadn't even thought about that. Suppose it minimizes the risk of the Klopp factor and Liverpool coming onto form. Thanks

    FT gone but should i do Ighalo to Costa for a hit this gameweek?

    Any other options to improve the team below for next week?

    Myhill (Nor)

    Kompany (Man U), Bellerin (Eve), Richards (Swa)

    Mane (Liv), Mahrez (Cry), Ayew (Avl), Sanchez (Eve) - Vice Captain, Payet (Che)

    Vardy (Cry) - Capitain, Pelle (Liv)

    Subs: Mc Carthy (Lei) Ighalo (Stk), Gomez (Sou), Darmian (Mci)

    In the bank: 7.2 million

      How on earth do you have 7.2 in the bank?!?

        He(she?) does have a relatively cheap MF, but yes, that is ridiculous

          Thanks to aguero and some early transfers!

    1. @FPLMason

      Pelle or Mane

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Payet. Tough decision.

    Just swapped Sanchez (c) to Vardy (c) as Vardy plays 90mins.

      Sanchez will only be subbed off when Arsenal 3-0 up do 😉

  26. FDMS All Starz

    Do we think sanchez will get rested? I might go Mahrez cap if not

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      No.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Surely he'll play today and get rested in the League Cup?

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He can rest when he's dead.

    Mahrez (c) Who's on board?!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Him above.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

      All aboard

  28. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    If you knew Mahrez was starting 100%, would you give him the armband over Vardy/Sanchez?

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

      Above.

  29. RangerMouse

    Is this team good to go?

    Butland
    Moreno - Mert - Janmaat
    De Bruyne - Mane - Payet - Walcott - Mahrez
    Costa - Martial

    Subs: Myhill, Azpi, Ighalo, Cedric.

    Or do I need to make a transfer for a hit? Unsure on Azpi or Janmaat too.
