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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 10

Player Team Odds
Walcott ARS 1.90
Giroud ARS 1.90
Sanchez ARS 1.90
Costa CHE 2.00
Benteke LIV 2.29
Sturridge LIV 2.29
Vardy LEI 2.29
Kane TOT 2.50
D Mbokani NOR 2.60
Gomis SWA 2.70
Martial MUN 2.80

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

Team Odds
Stoke City 2.29
Arsenal 2.29
Norwich 2.40
Liverpool 2.70
Swansea City 2.75
Tottenham 2.80
Chelsea 2.87

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.

  8. Vic Rattlehead
    11 years, 11 days ago

    AOA this round, if you have both City and United defenders? (Darmian & Kompany) The extra offensive player would be Ighalo. Tough call, IMO. Thoughts???

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

      don't use the AOA this week, play Company imo

      1. Torres76
        11 years, 11 days ago

        Same problem here. Kompany set piece threat. Darmian surely will be on the backfoot vs sterling or kdb

    2. Carcetti
      11 years, 11 days ago

      Nope, don't use

  9. For Fuchs Sake
    11 years, 11 days ago

    Mert to start tonight?

  10. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
    11 years, 11 days ago

    i want a long term defender is walker good option ??

    1. Root
      11 years, 11 days ago

      Not bad.

    2. Milner4eva
      11 years, 11 days ago

      He's alright. Guy in your grav is the best long term pick though

  11. Gerci
    11 years, 11 days ago

    Gomez to Moreno?

    Thought of saving my FT for the upcoming weeks..

    Kompany, Bellerin, Prödl, Cedric is my current DEF line

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

    Morning all, got 5 defenders which are a much of a muchness, 3 to play 2 to bench, currently on:
    A: Whittaker (WBA)
    B: Dawson (nor)
    C: Richards (SWA)
    ------
    D: Toby (bou)
    E: Kolorov (mun)

  13. Torres76
    11 years, 11 days ago

    Is this the best team defence for the week

    Moreno, Bellerin, Kompany

    Butland
    Williams Kolarov Cedric
    Haz Payet KDB Mahrez Mane
    Pelle Vardy Martial

    Subs: Ruddy Francis Coates

    Stick or twist. Would need -4 to do Haz to Sanchez. zero ITB

    1. Nomar
      11 years, 11 days ago

      I'd probably stick now, you should have got Sanchez ages ago.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        11 years, 11 days ago

  23. Aarono23
    11 years, 11 days ago

    Probably a bad decision and a waste of a transfer but seeing Gomis in my team was boring me so swapped out for a two week punt on Kane. Have to make Fantasy football a little bit more exciting.

    1. Root
      11 years, 11 days ago

      From bad to worse.

  24. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 days ago

    Who to play

    Mane
    Lukaku

    Or transfer Lukaku for someone.

    1. Carcetti
      11 years, 11 days ago

      Tough one.
      Going for Lukaku at the moment but this could change.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 11 days ago

        I'm with Mane at the moment but also have Pelle. Think I might take a punt on Ayoze for a week.

    A) Huth (CRY)

    1. Milner4eva

  28. Timon

      All solid benching options this week.

    2. Greek Freak
      11 years, 11 days ago

      I'd be tempted to play Martial and Payet myself.

    3. janowsc
      11 years, 11 days ago

      Same problem...I did payet...

    4. Sponge-worthy
      11 years, 11 days ago
