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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 16

Player Team Odds
Kane TOT 1.53
Bony MCI 1.72
Benteke LIV 1.80
Iheanacho MCI 1.90
Giroud ARS 1.90
Lukaku EVE 2.00
De Bruyne MCI 2.25
Sterling MCI 2.25
Vardy LEI 2.40
Walcott ARS 2.40
Coutinho LIV 2.50

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

Team Odds
Liverpool 1.72
Manchester City 2.00
Arsenal 2.10
Tottenham 2.10
Manchester United 2.70
Watford 2.87
West Ham United 2.87
Crystal Palace 3.00

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?

    1. Prøphet
      10 years, 10 months ago

      0 risk of being rested

      1. hannesdela
        10 years, 10 months ago

        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, 10 months ago

          With Aguero out and Silva only just back I don't think it's possible, yet...

      2. hannesdela
        10 years, 10 months ago

    Using this week to upgrade Westwood to a more viable 5th mid. Thinking King or Alli - thoughts? 🙂

    1. Prøphet
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I went with Stanislas, but Alli is a great pick if you can stretch the funds

  8. Still Unsure

    Silva or KDB?

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

    1. Pochecinno
      10 years, 10 months ago

      You're on the right one 😉

    2. LVGs Army
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'd go for silva

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

      Excellent choice

    4. JogaSemmedo
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I've gone for Silva too! Great differential

  9. Kevtheotter
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Richards to Rose or Toby

    1. Pochecinno
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Rose

  10. JaydenLFC87
    10 years, 10 months ago

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

    A) Firmino > Silva

    B) Mane > Rambo

    C) Mane > Silva

    D) Firmino > Rambo

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 10 months ago

      B

  11. jnglizt
    10 years, 10 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
      10 years, 10 months ago

      442

    2. Trigg ⭐️
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Who are your 3 forwards?

      1. jnglizt
        10 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          10 years, 10 months ago

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

          1. jnglizt
            10 years, 10 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!

  12. Trigg ⭐️
    10 years, 10 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 months ago

      I will be

    2. Taffer
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Just wait and see really...

    3. Concrete
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      Yes.
      I'll probably the same.

    5. Sailboats
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    6. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 10 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 ⭐️
        10 years, 10 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 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 ⭐️
            10 years, 10 months ago

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

        2. Pasqualinho
          10 years, 10 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.

  13. Captain Vantastic™
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku now leading the captains' poll!

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 10 months ago

      As he should be.

    2. Ha.
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku more likely to score 1, Kane more likely to score 2 😉

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Makes Kane pick even better

  14. The Rock
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Butland
    Kolarov, Cresswell, Dann
    Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Deulefeu
    Vardy, Lukaku, Kane (C)
    McCarthy, Firmino, VVD, Simspon

    2.3m in the bank and 1 FT.

    Considering doing Firmino to sterling and benching Vardy?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 10 months ago

      G2G, I'd change nada for this week.

  15. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 10 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
      10 years, 10 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.

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I wanted to sort out my defence for December on one week, cheers, you're right.

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

      stop taking bong hits prior to making your transfer 🙂

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 10 months ago

        So that's where I've gone wrong, top 100 here I come!

  16. mike_89
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Silva or Coutinho. Race to 3

    1. LVGs Army

  17. mayofc2000
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I have a midfield of sterling, Ozil, Mahrez, Ali, Barkley

    (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?

    1. Concrete
      10 years, 10 months ago

      KdB will start

      1. mayofc2000
        10 years, 10 months ago

        why so sure?

  18. Doar1986
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Mane or Mahrez, I have Vardy playing?

    Chelsea seem to have sorted things at the back

    1. Pochecinno
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bench Vardy 🙂

  19. Concrete
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Benching Vardy... Who's with me?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 10 months ago

      1. Ayew Serious
        10 years, 10 months ago

        You captaining him?

        1. Gazpilicueta
          10 years, 10 months ago

          nope, I expect 3 from Kane

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      10 years, 10 months ago

    3. Frankieee
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

  23. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 10 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.

  24. Pog The Hog
    10 years, 10 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 ⭐️
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Nah, they have improved to some extent lately.

    2. JaydenLFC87
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

  25. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
    10 years, 10 months ago

    silva or sterling ??

    1. Pochecinno
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Silva

    2. Ha.
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling this week, Silva thereafter

    3. BecAuse79
      10 years, 10 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

    4. Syd.
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling can be explosive but frustrating

  26. Cronos
    10 years, 10 months ago

    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
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

  27. Gazpilicueta
    10 years, 10 months ago
