Just 48-hours after the whistle blew on Gameweek 21, we’re left staring down the barrel of another deadline. Let’s throw some last minute variables into the mix via Paddy Power’s latest betting odds.

Before we scan the reckoning for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, we should check in on Paddy’s weekend specials.

You can get straight into the action with the early kick-off, with Paddy offering new customers odds of 4/1 of Tottenham claiming a win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane. That’s followed by another enhanced offer for this evening’s live encounter, with odds of 7/1 available on another Foxes away win, this time at the expense of Aston Villa.

Paddy’s Premier League weekend acca dangles big odds of 18/1 on wins for Chelsea (vs Everton), Man City (vs Crystal Palace) and Leicester (at Villa).

Then, on Sunday, you can get involved in the big clash at Anfield by backing either Liverpool to see of United at 8/1, or grab 11/1 on a United win over Jurgen Klopp’s men.

Be sure to check the terms 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.

Despite drawing blanks in four of his last five starts, Sergio Aguero (1.53) is again the clear frontrunner in Paddy’s goal-getting odds, compounding the argument to hand him the Gameweek 22 armband. The Argentine frontman is unlikely to have it easy against a Crystal Palace rearguard that ranks top for goals conceded in away fixtures (eight) and recorded three shut-outs across the previous six Gameweeks. Given that the Sky Blues have chalked up nine goals in their most recent quartet of home clashes, Raheem Sterling (2.40) is also priced short as a midfield option, although Kevin de Bruyne is out at 3.00 for an anytime goal, which look decent odds.

Harry Kane has challenged Aguero at the top of our Captain Poll and Paddy certainly agree that he’s also a strong contender to strike in the Gameweek. Kane’s form (three goals and six blanks in eight) is underwhelming, but he’s pitched at just 1.83 ahead of a home encounter against Sunderland – which probably says more about the Black Cats’ defence than Tottenham’s attack. Although Sunderland have impressed going forward of late, their rearguard has still shipped the joint-most goals (eight) over the last four Gameweeks and is without a clean sheet since Gameweek 14, affording Kane a great opportunity to deliver. Interestingly, the fancied Dele Alli is out at 3.10 for an anytime goal in the early kick-off.

Having notched three goals and an assist in a trio of starts, Diego Costa comes in next at 2.00 prior to Chelsea’s head-to-head with Everton at Stamford Bridge. The Spain international will do well to breach a Toffees back line that have conceded a solitary goal across their last three road ties. The Blues have tallied 10 goals in five matches under Gus Hiddink, so Paddy are also playing it safe with Loic Remy’s valuation (2.20).

Olivier Giroud (2.29) has spearheaded Arsenal’s attack with aplomb this term, racking up 12 goals in just 1408 minutes. Fresh from his first brace of the campaign against Liverpool, the chiseled Frenchman takes on a Stoke City defence that’s only conceded 10 goals on home turf but have faltered in defence of late – shipping six goals in their last three league outings.

In light of his injury travails and Bournemouth’s recent acquisition of Benik Afobe, Joshua King (2.37) is a surprise entry in the top 10. That being said, the Cherries play host to a Norwich City outfit that ranks joint-bottom for clean sheets (three), so King would be a solid shout if he makes the starting XI. Afobe is perhaps more likely to start and score – Paddy have him out at 2.80 for an anytime goal today.

Graziano Pelle and Jamie Vardy are both tipped at 2.40 to notch in the Gameweek. The Saints striker will hope to earn a recall for the visit of West Bromwich Albion, while Vardy will be seeking his first goal in six outings when Leicester City travel to basement dwellers Aston Villa.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 22

TeamOdds
Tottenham1.90
Southampton1.90
Manchester City2.10
Bournemouth2.40
Arsenal2.40
Leiciester City2.50
Chelsea2.62
Liverpool2.62
Swansea City2.62

We’ve seen some late movement in the clean sheet reckoning overnight, with Tottenham edging out in front with odds of 1.90, although they have been joined by Southampton who have crept in from 2.10 to 1.90 in the last 24-hours. Spurs have conceded three fewer goals (17) than any team in the league, whilst the Saints will clash with a Baggies squad that ranks joint-bottom for shots on target (67) this season. Having said that, Tony Pulis’ unit have registered at least one goal in eight of their last nine league matches.

Man City odds have lengthened overnight, with Paddy shifting them out from 2.00 to 2.10 for a shutout against visitors Crystal Palace. Manuel Pellegrini’s side kept a clean sheet in midweek – their third in the last ten league outings. Despite that record, City’s chances are considerably boosted by Palace’s current form – Alan Pardew’s men have drawn four successive blanks prior to their Etihad visit.

Bournemouth are priced at 2.40 ahead of Norwich’s visit, given that the Canaries have managed just four goals in as many outings. Arsenal are on identical odds and perhaps generously valued for their trip to Stoke, considering the Potters tallied more goals (10) than any team over the last four Gameweeks. Staying within the capital, Chelsea (2.62) cross swords with an Everton unit scored just two goals in their previous trio of away match-ups.

Leicester odds have come in overnight from 2.60 to 2.50 – reflecting the Foxes stronger defensive form: Claudio Ranieri’s side will endeavour to record their fourth successive clean sheet from their trip to Villa Park.

At the bottom of our table, Paddy can’t separate Liverpool and Swansea (2.62). The Reds take on an improved Man United attack that has scored five in their last two, while the Swans invite Watford to the Liberty Stadium; the Hornets failed to net in their midweek clash against Saints and have scored just two goals in their last three.

      I'm considering the same move, but leaning towards saving the FT and go without Payet for a couple of weeks. West Ham - City next week

  3. RamaJama

    Will Dembele play so Kane has better service?

    Thoughts on Ramsey > Payet?

    Thanks.

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Did it myself, was reluctant though

    2. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I did it this week too. Payet more consistent..

    3. Mr Alex
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure I will get Payet sometime soon, however, I'm holding out for this week hoping he blanks as I already have midfield capable of returns. Next week Payet has City and I don't fancy buying him for that game. Ramsey > Payet looks a perfect move though tbh and if you've got no other pressing issues then do it. However, it is certainly possible that he blanks today, and then has a hard time against City.

      Ozil, Huth

    2. FPLEL

        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks both

        On that right now
        Seems odd not to play Monreal Or Arnie though as one will succeed

  11. FPLEL
    • 11 Years

    I gotta know, did anyone on here do worse than 25 last week?

    1. FISSH

      a lot of 24's haha

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

      I got 26, but had Huth third sub ðŸ™

        Woooow. That's amazing.

    4. ameenkw

      23 (-4) here 😀

  12. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years

    Don't fully understand the Payet love. Anyone explain?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's insane, and he is the main source of points for West Ham. If a goal is scored he is more than likely going to be involved.

    2. Mitchacho
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rarely blanks. Very consistent goal and assist threat. Great fixtures. Has hit the ground running.

    3. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years

      Not just good in FPL, but good in real life

      He's a sexy pick

    5. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Around the same PPG as Ozil and 2m cheaper, it's not that hard to understand.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Who you captaining mate?

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Kane, and I'm disappointed to see you wavering after stating that you weren't changing! 🙂

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Kun makes me nervous. Been looking up a few stats.

            1. Fitzy.
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              He's still only owned by 17% (and less in the top 10k?), so if he does bang a few in it should still help your rank even without the captaincy, whereas Kane is owned by a lot more.

    6. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      West Ham's Özil/Mahrez.

  13. Number Four
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Three,way fight for the league.

    One has Kane, one has Aguero, I have both.

    Who to captain. I'm having a breakdown.

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Flip a coin

  14. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Afobi (NOR) or Willian (EVE ) ???

  15. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ozil, Bellerin and Francis on my bench... Could easily be 15+ points there

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Take them off your bench then

  16. sunny_arsenal
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Alli or Ighalo ? Bench one. Already have Kane

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too hard.

  17. Sailboats

  19. ameenkw

    4. il Brutto

      Had Beleren on bench but looking at clean sheet odds had a change of heart.

  24. diego_costa

    Play Alli or Ozil?

    Other rest of front 8 are:

    Vardy - Kun - Kane

  25. Kevin Twine
