Back from the international break, we turn to Paddy Power once again in search of a bookmakers perspective on where the goals will and won’t be scored over the Gameweek.

Before we dip into their Clean Sheet and Anytime Scorer odds, those without a Paddy account should know that there’s another raft of big offers on show to cater for your fluttering needs.

First up, Paddy’s regular weekend acca is offering new customers a massive 18/1 on wins for Arsenal, Man City, Juventus and Bayern Munich. This bet also comes in tandem with the offer of a free £10 bet every Monday for the rest of the season when you bet £10 weekly.

Next up, Paddy have two big live matches covered. In this evening’s big Etihad clash, you can get odds of 12/1 on a Man City win over Liverpool with both teams scoring. Meanwhile in Sunday’s encounter at the Lane, Paddy are dangling odds of 5/1 on a Spurs win over West Ham.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 13

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.80
Kane TOT 1.83
Costa CHE 2.00
Lukaku EVE 2.10
Vardy LEI 2.10
Pelle SOU 2.20
Giroud ARS 2.20
Sanchez ARS 2.20
Remy CHE 2.40
De Bruyne MCY 2.40
Sterling MCY 2.40
Gomis SWA 2.50

Seemingly guaranteed a start against Liverpool by Manuel Pellegrini, Sergio Aguero is immediately re-instated at the top of Paddy’s anytime scorer rankings – a sight that will no doubt become familiar over the coming weeks.

While the Argentine seems unlikely to get a 90 minute run-out on his return from a hamstring injury, Paddy clearly feel that Aguero will take little time to find his groove – even against an improved Liverpool side. Aguero’s team-mate, Kevin de Bruyne, is out at 2.40 – the second ranked midfielder in Paddy’s table.

Harry Kane pushes Aguero very close. The Spurs striker is priced at 1.83 for an anytime goal in Sunday’s London derby with West Ham, having netted five in his last three outings. While the Hammer’s boast strong away form, it should be noted that their defence has failed to earn a clean sheet since Gameweek 5.

Although he’s notched just two goals in 10 starts, Diego Costa (2.00) is handed short odds ahead of Chelsea’s favourable Stamford Bridge match-up against Norwich City. While Chelsea and Costa are struggling for form, only Bournemouth (13) have conceded more goals than the Canaries (nine) over the last four Gamweeks.

Romelu Lukaku and Jamie Vardy are both tipped at 2.10 for their ties against Aston Villa and Newcastle respectively. The Everton striker will fancy his chances of scoring for the third successive outing when Remi Garde’s men roll up to Goodison Park off the back of one win in 12. Meanwhile, the white-hot Vardy could equal Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 10-match scoring streak with a goal at St James’ Park, although fitness doubts surrounding a hip injury linger ahead of today’s encounter.

Southampton’s Graziano Pelle is tied with Arsenal duo Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud at 2.20. The Saint’s striker has claimed four goals in six St Mary’s starts to this point but has notched just once in his last four and is up against a Stoke City outfit in fine form. Mark Hughes men arrive on the south coast having kept three consecutive clean sheets on the road.

Meanwhile, Sanchez and Giroud lock horns with West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns. While the Baggies defence has kept six shut-outs this season, no team has shipped more goals on home turf (12), which suggests that the Gunners’ attacking contingent may well be afforded a bevy of clear-cut opportunities. Giroud has three goals in his last four league starts, while Sanchez is the top ranked midfielder in Paddy’s listing, despite blanking in his last three outings.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 13

Team Odds
Chelsea 2.00
Southampton 2.00
Everton 2.10
Crystal Palace 2.10
Arsenal 2.10
Manchester United 2.25
Tottenham 2.40
Manchester City 2.50

Chelsea and Southampton (both 2.00) have been pinpointed by Paddy as the top defences heading into Gameweek 13.

The Blues’ case is bolstered by the fact they’ve surrendered just three big chances in the last four Gameweeks, while the Saints square up to a Potters outfit thats in strong defensive form, but remains joint-bottom for goals scored (10) so far this season.

Everton, Crystal Palace and Arsenal are priced a little longer (both 2.10) for their head-to-heads.

The Toffees will be encouraged by the revelation that Villa tallied the fewest shots on target (six) across the previous four Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Palace are matched up against a Sunderland side that places second-bottom for shots inside the box (64) this term. Finally, Arsenal make the trip to take on West Brom having conceded just 30 shots from inside their penalty area on the road – the fewest of any Premier League side.

Manchester United (2.25) will look to secure their fifth successive clean sheet when they travel to Watford, while Tottenham (2.29) will do well to rebuff the advances of a Hammers outfit that’s only drawn one blank this campaign.

Propping up Paddy’s table, Man City (2.40) will strive to register their first shut-out in five home matches when Liverpool pay a visit; Jurgen Klopp’s side have registered five goals in their last three outings.

    Didn't realise Payet was out so long! Replace with Ozil? Or bite the bullet and do some shenanigans to get Aguero in? Excuse my lack of umlauts and dots etc.

    1. stilicho

      In the same position I went for shenanigans involving Deulofeu in this week and a four pointer tonight

  4. Evasivo
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Who would you captain out of these?

    Gomes
    Kolarov Jones Cresswell
    KDB Ozil Mahrez Sanchez
    Vardy Ighalo Pelle

    Schmeichel Moreno Francis Westwood

    1. Le Limpar
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. FPL Mentor
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez

  5. Takamba
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Major benching headache:

    Sanchez, Ozil, De Bruyne, Eriksen, Mahrez

    Pelle, Vardy, Lukaku

    Thoughts??

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 11 months ago

      honestly, vardy

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen or Mahrez

    3. FPL Mentor
      10 years, 11 months ago

      SancheZ

      1. Le Limpar
        10 years, 11 months ago

        You've told one person to captain and one person to bench Sanchez.

  6. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    10 years, 11 months ago

    A lot of people talking themselves into needing Aguero this week forgetting he was extremely frustrating to own for the 7 weeks prior to his haul.

    I've done a lot better comparatively whilst he's been injured and the distraction his gives to team selection and captaincy.

    Not doubting his FPL potential, I just don't get the urgency.

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Its not urgency, its a chance to have the best player in the league while only 10% of people have him.

      1. Milner4eva
        10 years, 11 months ago

        he's not the best when he's not fully fit, as he showed in the first 2 months of the season

        gw16 ftw

      2. Jimbo123
        10 years, 11 months ago

        This. After he has been confirmed ready to start.

      3. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        10 years, 11 months ago

        With other strikers bang in form, there's not much differential points wise.

        What Aguero can give, Vardy, Lukaku and Kane etc are just as likely to match or better this game week.

    2. Ser Davos
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Really good, sobering post.

    3. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      if Bony was fit Aguero would only be getting a short spell off the bench.
      can't help but feel he is being slightly rushed.
      Also think early on he is going to get an almighty clattering from Skrtel then we'll see how fit he really is.

                10 years, 11 months ago

                It's on Mahrez at the min . I do not have a good team this week

                1. Jafooli
                  10 years, 11 months ago

                  Ozil might be worth a shout?

  8. Trigg ⭐️
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Quick G2G?

    Hennessey

    Bellerin, Bertrand, Coleman

    Eriksen, Mahrez, Sanchez, Mane

    Aguero (C), Pelle, Vardy

    Butland, Gosling, Moreno, O'Shea

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Hey Trigg, looking good! Please don't captain Aguero though

      1. Jimbo123
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Why not?

        1. gaurava1216
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 11 months ago

          kun wont play 90... klopp wont leak more than 2 I don't think. kun never scores big after an injury...

      2. Trigg ⭐️
        10 years, 11 months ago

        As I said above, the chance to captain the best player in the league when only 5% of active players have him .... too tempting.

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        He is the best player and the most explosive, but he's got to be rusty. Mind you, picking 'informed' captains based on fixture is no guarantee of points either.

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Exactly. I know its a risk, but isn't every (C) choice?

          How many times does Lukaku (C) fail?

          1. tisza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 11 months ago

            How many times do we hear Lukaku only does it against the weaker teams ?? e.g. Villa

            1. Jimbo123
              10 years, 11 months ago

              It's the opposite

            2. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              10 years, 11 months ago

              It's the opposite actually! Only seems to get fired up for the big teams.

              1. tisza
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                10 years, 11 months ago

                really he's only managed 4 goals against top 6 sides in the 2 and a bit seasons he's been at Everton. everyone seems to get carried away by that hat-trick 3 seasons ago against Utd.

          2. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 11 months ago

            He's in beast mode at the moment, Trigg

            1. Trigg ⭐️
              10 years, 11 months ago

              The next 8 hours should be interesting!

  9. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    The maverick in me wants to bench Vardy for Mane. Convince me to do it 😉

    1. Carcetti
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Don't, Mane was my captain the past couple weeks.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, I've captained him twice this season for an amazing 2 x 2 each time. :/

        Benching any attacker vs Newcastle is looney so might just have to play it safe. Vary to Aguero next week is on the cards.

      2. Numb
        10 years, 11 months ago

        What difference does that make!?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 11 months ago

          😀

    2. La Roja
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Maverick in me captaining Vardy

      Make of that what u will

    3. NATSTER
      10 years, 11 months ago

      That's what I do now. Starting Mahrez and Mane with Vardy first on the bench.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Nice! Reasons, Nat? Just because Vardy is carrying a knock?

    4. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Check Vardys game week history as if you need to and step away.

      People have been saying 'it's got to end soon' for weeks.......

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        True... Would like to know how bad his injury was but no real news.

  10. hillbillypete
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I fancy a bit of Alexis captain this week. WBA are poor at home. Possible playing up front if Giroud doesn't fancy it.

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 11 months ago

      he's knackered, he can barely run

      lukaku is going to destroy villa

      1. hillbillypete
        10 years, 11 months ago

        i dont have romelu so other options needed

        1. Milner4eva
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Pelle?

          1. hillbillypete
            10 years, 11 months ago

            he is an option

  11. Los Pollos
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Lingard or Vardy for this GW ?

  12. Carcetti
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Mane or Bolasie?

    1. Gunner77-
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bolasie

  13. Jafooli
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Pelle YC this GW and he's on a ban.

    Pelle > Aguero easy peasy

  14. davies
    10 years, 11 months ago

    GTG?

    Butland
    Kolarov - Rojo - Williams
    Sanchez - Ozil - Mane - Mahrez
    Pelle - Lukaku - Vardy (C)

    Myhill - Francis - Moreno - Payet* (0FT - 2.5 ITB)

    Cheers.

    1. Saint & Reevesy
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Is vardy playing?

      1. davies
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I'm confident.

  15. Saint & Reevesy
    10 years, 11 months ago

    So if you don't have Lukaku, who the hell do you give the arm band to this week?

    1. Cak Juris
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    2. Milner4eva
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Kane, Eriksen, Ayew, Pelle

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I have Kane, but just don't trust his consistency, vardy is carrying a knock, Stoke away are tight, although Pelles home record is strong. Ayed and Erick feel punty......

        1. Le Limpar
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Sanchez then

    3. Jafooli
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Cleverly

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        10 years, 11 months ago

        That wouldn't be clever

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

  16. Cak Juris
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez - KDB - Mahrez - Ayew
    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy
    sub: Payet

    A. Payet >> Bolasie, -4pts and who will be replaced for starting line up?
    B. Save FT

    1. Boyd to Sven
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Save now imo. You've already lost the money on Payet and the team looks solid. Although if Vardy doesn't make it can your defence handle it?

  17. Aiders
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Think I'm done with my WC team, and thoughts?

    Butland - Hennessey
    Bertrand - Moreno - Rose - Bellerin - Simpson
    Sanchez - KDB - Mahrez - Deulofeu - Surman
    Aguero - Kane - Vardy

  18. FPL Maldini
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Is Ward likely to start back today?

    1. ☆Khaz
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I think he is, but a logical person would say it's 50/50.

      1. SHAMESHAMESHAME
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Doing yourself a disservice there, I think he's more likely than not to start given he is almost never benched.

    2. Back on the horse
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Hope so., there was talk of playing the same Liverpool lads though

  19. Snapes on a Plane

    Vardy and his record mentioned again. He's making history. I believe he'll start even if he's not 100% fit.

    1. davies
      10 years, 11 months ago

      For sure, imo.

        1. Gunner77-

          I'm really happy for Ranieri

          1. SHAMESHAMESHAME
            10 years, 11 months ago

            A man that is clearly enjoying life and at no one's expense. Easy to root for.

  21. Boyd to Sven
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Still can't decide to bench this week. Any advice? It's one of KDB, Sterling, Mahrez, Mane or Ayoze. Thinking Sterling but then there's the previous club factor.

    1. Ser Davos
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Ayoze, LEI haven't been too leaky in recent weeks. The others are FPL medium-heavyweights, capable of lighting the touchpaper any GW.

      1. Boyd to Sven
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, I think that's probably sensible.

  22. FPL Mentor
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else captaining Sanchez? I have armband on him with over the likes of Kane, Lukaku, Vardy and Ozil..

    I must stay strong and stick...

        I'd say it's more gutsy resisting the knee jerks and bandwagons than hopping on

        Pelle is out of form. Not exactly a bandwagon.

    Small bit of speculation amongst AFC fans that Sanchez may start on the right, Gibbs left. Based on Campbell's fitness (he was subbed early in both Costa Rica games).

    Pure speculation mind. Make of it what you will.

    Just FYI: Lukaku is going to absolutely crush Villa today. Double-figure haul incoming at the very least.

    Can't say I didn't warn you :).
