Bright and early, we camp outside Paddy Power’s door in anticipation of scanning their latest reckoning ahead of another Gameweek deadline.

Before we assess the odds for Anytime Scorer and Clean Sheets, those without a Paddy Power account may well fancy a flutter on the latest specials.

This weekend’s European acca is huge. New customers can gather massive odds of 30/1 on wins for Tottenham (vs Newcastle), Liverpool (vs West Brom), Real Madrid (at Villarreal), Atletico (vs Athletico Bilbao) and Juventus (vs Fiorentina).

Back on home soil, this evening’s live encounter at Dean Court is covered by Paddy’s offer of 6/1 on an away win for United over Bournemouth (regular odds are Evens).

There are two specials lined up for Sunday’s encounters, with Paddy dangling 5/1 on an Arsenal win at Aston Villa (regular odds 4/7) and 4/1 on Spurs prevailing over Newcastle at White Hart Lane.

Finally, for Monday night’s enthralling clash at the King Power, Paddy are presenting new customers with big odds of 10/1 on a Leicester home win over Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea.

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.

Harry Kane (1.53) has been tipped by Paddy as the man most likely to grace the scoresheet in the Gameweek ahead of Tottenham’s enticing home clash against Newcastle United. Despite drawing successive blanks, the Lilywhites frontman ranked top among forwards for attempts (19) over the last four Gameweeks and is pitted against the league’s joint-worst defence (30 goals conceded). Paddy’s confidence certainly reinforces Kane’s case for the captaincy and justifies his placing at the summit of our Captain Poll.

In the absence of Sergio Aguero – who’s been ruled out with a heel injury – Wilfried Bony is priced at 1.72 for Manchester City’s home encounter against Swansea City. Although the Sky Blues failed to score in two of their previous four outings, they are the clear frontrunners with regards to home goals (23), ensuring that Kelechi Iheanacho (1.90), Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling (both 2.25) also feature in the top ten.

Christian Benteke (1.80) has been pinpointed as the man to spark a response from Liverpool in the wake of their 2-0 defeat at Newcastle. The Reds marksman locks horns with a West Bromwich Albion outfit that’s conceded fewer road goals (five) than any other side. Despite that, Paddy have Benteke earmarked a clear short-term differential, with team-mate Philippe Coutinho also well fancied out at 2.50.

Fresh from a hat-trick in Arsenal’s midweek Champions League triumph, Olivier Giroud (1.90) will be relishing the prospect of duelling an Aston Villa outfit that carded just one clean sheet in their previous 14 fixtures. The favourable nature of the Gunners’ match-up also means that a fit-again Theo Walcott (2.40) also ranks highly.

Romelu Lukaku (2.00) is arguably over-priced, given that he netted in his last five starts and ranked joint-top for shots inside the box (14) over the last four Gameweeks. Moreover, Everton face off against a Norwich City unit that charts top for shots inside the box conceded (141) and big chances conceded (38) across the entire campaign.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 16

TeamOdds
Liverpool1.72
Manchester City2.00
Arsenal2.10
Tottenham2.10
Manchester United2.70
Watford2.87
West Ham United2.87
Crystal Palace3.00

Going head-to-head with a West Brom squad that places third-bottom for goals (14), bottom for attempts (136) and joint-bottom for big chances (15), Liverpool (1.72) boast the best clean-sheet prospects by Paddy’s estimation. Manchester City (2.00) occupy the silver-medal berth ahead of their Etihad meeting with the Swans, who’ve drawn blanks in four of their last five outings.

Arsenal and Tottenham both sit at the 2.10 mark. The Gunners engage a Villa side that have recorded only five goals since Gameweek 8, while Spurs possess the second-best defensive record at home (five goals conceded) prior to the visit of Steve McClaren’s Newcastle.

Manchester United (2.70) secured shut-outs in four of the previous six Gameweeks but are contending with a bevy of defensive injuries before their trip to Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Watford (2.87) registered three clean sheets in their last six match-ups, which bodes well for a road clash against Sunderland.

West Ham United (2.87) could struggle to silence a buoyant Stoke team without Winston Reid’s commanding presence in central defence. As for Crystal Palace (3.00), they’ll fancy their chances against a floundering Southampton attack that posted the second-worst shot-conversion rate (4.7%) over the last four Gameweeks.

    KDB captain choice or is the risk of him being rested too high?

        • 14 Years

        You sure? Cause a journalist asked Pellegrini about it on the press conference and Manuel said he would give him a rest when possible..

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years

          Silva or KDB?

          Thinking today and long term... I'm currently going Silva

            You're on the right one 😉

          Are any of the below transfers worth doing for -4???

          A) Firmino > Silva

          B) Mane > Rambo

          C) Mane > Silva

          D) Firmino > Rambo

        • jnglizt
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Go 4-4-2 with Dawson at the back, or 3-4-2 with Westwood in midfield? Got Dawson in at the moment but not confident of a clean sheet....although the likelihood of Westwood doing anything is probably just as small!

          1. Pochecinno

            Who are your 3 forwards?

            1. jnglizt
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Vardy & Lukaku, got Aguero as well but he is on bench obviously

              1. Trigg ⭐️
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                I did Aguero to Kane. Kane great (C) choice this weekend.

                1. jnglizt
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah I thought about swapping Aguero but my defence was in a right state so brought Aldy in for Martin. Dont really fancy taking a hit for another transfer after last weeks debacle with Coutinho!

        • Trigg ⭐️
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Go without Aguero until 2016?

          Could easily be rested/rotated over Xmas, especially at home to Sunderland.

          1. LVGs Army
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I will be

          3. Concrete
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            If he plays v Arsenal he'll every game over Christmas

          4. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Yes.
            I'll probably the same.

          5. Sailboats
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Yes

          6. Pasqualinho
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I'd imagine Sunderland will be the first game he starts. If he's fit by then. I think there's very little chance of him being 'rested' for this one.

            1. Trigg ⭐️
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              You don't think they would prefer him to play 90 v Arsenal?

              Bony should be enough to beat Sunderland.

              1. Alittude
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                if he plays against aresenal he would play against sunderland as well surely? why would he come back fo 1 game just to be rested the next?

                1. Trigg ⭐️
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 5 months ago

                  With his injuries, wrap him in cotton wool! wherever possible!

              2. Pasqualinho
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                He may well start v Arsenal - that all depends on whether he's recovered sufficiently. But i would be pretty sure he wouldn't play 90 there. But not playing in his first home game back? I don't see it.

          I've recently become addicted to taking fpl hits, how do I get out of such destructive behaviour?

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            save a transfer, when you have 2 transfers it feels so good, you can use one, or 2, you feel like you have options. and everything is better.

          2. Dukes of Hazard
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I took over 100 points worth of hits in my best season, taking hits isn't necessarily that bad an idea as long as every decision you make has a long term view to it.

          (a) Is it worth bringing in KDB. I hear he might be rested
          (b) If so who to change. If Ali then 2 subs required
          (c) Is it better to save the transfer and use in other postions?

            We are on the same boat dude.
            I'm a chelsea fan and vardy is on the bench for me. I already have Mahrez in the starting XI.

          This lot GTG? 1FT.

          DDG

          Bellerin Moreno Kolarov

          KDB Ozil Mahrez Barkley

          Lukaku Kane Tardy

          (McCarthy, Dann, Huth, Westwood)

        • Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Cheeky second try.

          Currently...

          Butland (ddg)
          Bellerin/Toby/Moreno (dann/zouma)
          Kdb/Mahrez/Ozil/Eriksen/Coutinho
          Lukaku/Ighalo (vardy)

          Any thoughts? I'm moderately tempted by bench boost, haven't used any bonuses yet.

        • Pog The Hog
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Kane is my first choice, but also considering a one Mr. Mahrez against a dismal and despondent Chelsea. Will leave it very late to decide.

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Nah, they have improved to some extent lately.

            Im hoping KDB does well today but Mahrez is my backup at this moment in time sud i make a late change

          1. Pochecinno
            • 10 Years

            Silva

            • 10 Years

            Sterling this week, Silva thereafter

            10 years, 5 months ago

            Everyone will tell you Silva , and you know that but your just like me having high hopes for sterling ,
            so go with your feelings , get sterling

            Sterling can be explosive but frustrating

          I'm thinking about doing a Bench Boost since it hurts me to see Ighalo on there. Can someone talk me out of it?

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Whatever you do, don't bench Ighalo!?!
