New year, old habits. It’s time to add Paddy Power’s odds into the mix as we edge towards another Gameweek deadline.

Before we assess Paddy’s reckoning for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, let’s peruse another batch of specials on offer for those of you without Paddy Power accounts.

It wouldn’t be a weekend without Paddy providing a big acca and this week’s its an Premier League affair, with huge odds of 18/1 available on wins for Arsenal, Man United, Man City and Leicester over the Gameweek.

In the early kick-off, you can back Jurgen Klopp’s side to build on their away win at Sunderland with another three points in East London. There’s enhanced odds of 6/1 on offer for a Liverpool win at West Ham, coupled with the opportunity to gain a free £10 bet when you bet £10 weekly. This evening’s live encounter is also covered off, with the same 6/1 odds offered for a Man City win over Watford at Vicarage Road.

Finally, Sunday’s potential goal-fest at Goodison can be spiced up with a bet that offers 8/1 on an away with for Spurs over Everton.

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.

Although both players drew blanks in their last two outings, Olivier Giroud (1.57) and Theo Walcott (1.90) are both highly fancied for goals by Paddy, with Arsenal strongly backed to rout Newcastle United at the Emirates. All members of the Gunners’ attacking contingent will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a Magpies rearguard that ranks joint-second for goals conceded (34) this term. With goals expected, it’s no real surprise to see Mesut Ozil backed for points and leading our Captain Poll – even Paddy have him out at 2.87 for a goal in this one – decent odds for a midfielder with just three goals to his name this term.

Having built up his fitness with a 62-minute stint against Leicester City, Sergio Aguero (1.72) has is the meat in the Arsenal sandwich in Paddy’s rankings. Given his ineffective display at the King Power, these odds look more than a little short – particularly given Watford’s form and the fact that they’ve allowed just eight goals in ten home matches. Similarly, City’s away form in attacking terms has been woeful – Manuel Pellegrini’s men have scored just eight goals in nine away trips all season.

Jamie Vardy is back amongst the top ranked names in Paddy’s rankings – he has odds of 2.00 prior to Leicester’s home clash against Bournemouth. Vardy may have notched just once in five outings but he will surely be granted opportunities to improve his tally by a Bournemouth backline that’s kept just one shutout on the road all season.

Unfathomably, Vardy shares his price with Wayne Rooney, despite the fact that the United skipper has failed to score since Gameweek 9 and is pitted against a Swansea City defence that’s carded three successive clean sheets.

Romelu Lukaku leads the way with Vardy when it comes to the race for the Golden Boot but has seen his odds slip from 2.00 to 2.20 in the last 24-hours, as Paddy re-assess Everton’s chances at home to Spurs. This fixture promises goals aplenty, with Harry Kane ranking above Lukaku in Paddy’s reckoning – they rank the Spurs striker at 2.10 for an anytime goal.

Liverpool duo Christian Benteke (2.10) and Daniel Sturridge (2.50) are priced short heading into a road encounter against West Ham United. Benteke is beginning to find his rhythm with two goals in as many starts, while Jurgen Klopp hinted that Sturridge could return to the matchday squad on Saturday.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 20

Arsenal1.90
Chelsea2.40
Liverpool2.50
Manchester City2.50
Sunderland2.70
Stoke2.70
Leicester2.87
West Brom2.87
Southampton3.00

Matched up against a Swansea attack that placed joint-bottom for goals (two) over the last four Gameweeks, it’s no surprise that Manchester United (1.80) are deemed the favourites to secure a shut-out in the Gameweek.

Arsenal aren’t far behind (1.90) as they attempt to silence a Newcastle attack that charts bottom for shots on target (14) across the previous six Gameweeks. The Gunners are placed just above Chelsea (2.40), with the Blues’ odds coming in slightly in the last 24-hours as Paddy react to Palace’s lack of goal threat ahead of their encounter at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool (2.50) rank next as they prepare to spar with a West Ham outfit that has drawn blanks in three of their last five outings. Man City (2.50) are given identical odds, despite the fact that they will be without the influence of Vincent Company and up against the red-hot Odion Ighalo at Vicarage Road. Manuel Pellegrini’s troops registered their first shut-out in seven league ties at Leicester on Monday.

With Aston Villa mustering just five goals in their past eight fixtures, Sunderland (2.70) edge into the top six with regards to clean-sheet odds. West Brom (2.87) will have to be at their best at The Hawthorns to rebuff the advances of Stoke City, who rifled four past Everton last Gameweek. Despite the Potters’ form, Paddy have the Hawhtorns clash ranked as the most likely to end in a 0-0 stalemate, although Stoke have emerged as the favourites to come out of the game with the shut-out with their odds narrowing to 2.70 overnight.

    Would you play Alli over henderson even if he's fit?
    Also which 3 would you play frm these?
    Coleman, azpi,Walker,Dawson???

    Thinking of dropping Coleman...

  2. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Worth ditching Coutinho for Theo given the potential rotation? I've got two free transfers and fairly happy with the rest of my team at the minute, although if any other suggestions please feel free:

    Lloris, McCarthy
    Bellerin, Kolarov, VvD, Wollschied, Dawson
    Ozil, Mahrez, Barkley, Coutinho, Alli
    Aguero, Kane, Ighalo

    1 million in the bank.

    Cheers all!

    1. Tricknova
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nice team! Yes Theo is worth a shot, and could be moved on for Payet when fully fit.

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers...been having an appalling season until the last few weeks because I avoided Vardy for ages but quite happy with it now! Up to around 300k now though so hopefully turned a corner.

        Might just take the gamble and go for it given how explosive Theo can be but concerned he may be rested.

        1. Tricknova
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          As a toon fan Walcott is Colo's worst nightmare with his pace, it is a slight risk but potentially big reward. If it all goes wrong Payet will be a great exit route and you don't have much else wrong with team. Otherwise Mccarthy > Henn to have 2 playing keepers

          1. CC22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers mate, you've convinced me...fingers crossed it pays off now!

            May even stick the armband on him.

            1. Tricknova
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Armband would be high risk high reward! Personally I have Ramsey and Ozil and going with the crowd (Ozil c). Best of luck!

    2. Maarrrr17
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Who will you play this GW if you did get walcott?

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Suspect I'd go for:

        Lloris
        Kolarov, Bellerin, Dawson
        Barkley, Walcott, Ozil, Mahrez
        Aguero, Kane, Ighalo

        McCarthy, Alli, VvD, Wollscheid

        Coutinho instead of Walcott if I don't make the transfer.

        1. Maarrrr17
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Im in a very similar predicament, but deciding between alli and walcott.
          Reason for benching Alli?

          1. CC22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Home fixture for Theo. Plus already have Kane playing.

  3. krzys
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Butland McCarthy
    Toby Bellerin Nyom Zouma Evans
    KDB Ozil Ramsey Alli Mahrez
    Lukaku Ighalo Vardy

    2FT 7.2 itb

    What should I do:

    A) McCarthy --> Hennessey
    B) Nyom --> Simpson
    C) Nyom --> A.Williams ?

    Cheers!

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

    Who do you consider most likely to score?

    A) Özil
    B) Mahrez

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Most likely to score a goal? Or just attacking points in general?

      Mahrez definitely most likely to score a goal. Ozil most likely to assist.

      I'm captaining Mahrez if thats what you're getting at

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil is more likey to score as newcastle is playing worse than bournemouth

    3. fc_skrald
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez will score the most goals and probably also more point in the FPL game..

  5. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    In a draft league, which 3 would you start?

    A) Coutinho (whm)
    B) Tadic (nor)
    C) Fellaini (SWA)
    D) Stanislas (lei)

    Cheers!

  6. Rambo Motin
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who will join me Ramsey > Theo C? I have a massive gut feeling. Wally loves Newcastle.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I am tempted to do it! Got 2 frees but might be boring and do McCarthy to Hennessy

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. I had two frees and thought about this move too. But I'm just going to stick with Ramsey and if he fails this week he's gone

  7. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Team and bench in order?

    Butland
    Bellerin Moreno Simpson
    Kdb mahrez Ramsey ozil (c)
    Lukaku Kane vardy

    Silva kolarov ward McCarthy

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably right, Pat
      Seems wrong to not play City players though

  8. Les Majesteux
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Crazy benching Ighalo over Countinho and Eriksen?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

    2. krzys
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. Les Majesteux
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ok, so bench Eriksen or Countinho?

  9. Miro
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So the conclusion on here between benching KdB or Arnautovic is ????

    1. Kudo Warrior
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      kdb will be rested.

      1. Kudo Warrior
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Imo...

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          You think? I hope he doesn't come on then, playing him over silva

      2. tommo75
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        What makes you say that, is he due a rest?

        1. Miro
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I don't think he'll be rested tbh, I'm playing him

  10. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Which is a better transfer for now?

    Ramsey to Walcott
    Or
    Sterling to silva

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsey to Walcott but only if u have 2 frees and nothing else to use it on

    Currently on Walcott captain......

    Woke up this morning and suddenly feel the urge to captain aguero after reading this ;

    http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/10116623/sergio-aguero-could-play-his-first-full-match-since-september

    Fantasy football definitely gives me more headaches than my wife does!

    1. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Watford have a bad pitch not great for footballing sides so I wouldn't risk it, also Watford are strong defensively.

      1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        This is the type of reply I needed! Walcott captain it is then......

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not recently tho and Watford are decent. They may score a few but recent form of both sides points to a tight game

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Watford have conceded 4 in their last 2 and a missed pen

    3. Kiwivillan

      Either Alli or Lamela. We're likely to expect a goal fest in that match.

    Be safe and captain Ozil, or be a lil ballsy and go for Giroud?
    Both my league members who are currently ahead of me will be captaining Ozil.

      Snap. Made some good ground the other day, now I'm thinking do I get cheeky and try and something similar.

      Even against my beloved United.....
