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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 22

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.53
Kane TOT 1.83
Costa CHE 2.00
Remy CHE 2.20
Giroud ARS 2.29
King BOU 2.37
Vardy LEI 2.40
Benteke LIV 2.40
Sterling MCY 2.40
Pelle SOU 2.50
Lukaku EVE 2.50
Walcott ARS 2.50

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

Team Odds
Tottenham 1.90
Southampton 1.90
Manchester City 2.10
Bournemouth 2.40
Arsenal 2.40
Leiciester City 2.50
Chelsea 2.62
Liverpool 2.62
Swansea City 2.62

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.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Hi Acqua, still swip swapping it in my head. Could try another cheeky Payet or KDB or Kane.

        No Aguero in team Flynn who I have to say is the obvious choice.

  2. Slumdog Mignolet.
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Hey darlings, would you bench Cresswell or Daniels?

    1. Zombie
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Daniels

    2. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I have the exact same dilemma

      I'm benching Cresswell

      1. Slumdog Mignolet.
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Thats what I'm doing so far, unless someone changes my mind

    3. Lazarus Star
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'm playing Daniels. Just a feeling.

      1. Slumdog Mignolet.
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I've got that gut feeling too, plus wijnaldum will probably score vs West Ham

        1. Slumdog Mignolet.
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Bang on!

  3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Captain out of

    A) Kane
    B) Defoe
    C) Costa
    D) Ozil
    any thoughts will be hugely appreciated

    1. JoJoRed
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not B or D

    2. Slumdog Mignolet.
      10 years, 9 months ago

    6. HearMeRoar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Oil plays on Sunday and Kane is the early kick off, if that holds any sway with you?

      If Kane blanks then you've got the rest of the weekend to feel sad about your captain choice...

      1. Ayew Serious
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Oil think about that

  4. JoJoRed
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Bench
    A) smith
    B) Bellerin

    1. Sherry? Sherry.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Got the same conundrum - I'm going to bench bellerin I think

    2. YoungPretender
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Bellerin IMO, though I'm sure many would disagree.

      1. JoJoRed
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Bellerin it is

  5. bangers and M*A*S*H
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Got one free transfer.

    Would you sell Williams and get Targett?

      10 years, 9 months ago

    3. YoungPretender
      10 years, 9 months ago

      If you have him, keep him for this week IMO. But yes he eventually needs to go.

      1. FPLEL

        Great, cheers all.

  11. KOLASINA(C)

    Thoughts on Ozil to Payet this week with a view to bringing in Sanchez in 2 weeks time? ?????

    1. JoJoRed
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes for free

      1. Ninjaa
        10 years, 9 months ago

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      10 years, 9 months ago

      lool this is exactly what i'm thinking

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      No

      No

      No

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        10 years, 9 months ago

        What are you expecting from Arsenal up at Stoke? I'm thinking 1-1 or 1-2 personally

    4. *sigh*
      10 years, 9 months ago

      This is exactly what I did last week for the exact same reason.Great minds and all that.

  14. Murcheen
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Sorry guys blunder above who to bench from this lot?
    Ozil-mahrez-KDB-(vc)payet-Ramsey
    (C)Kane-lukaku-ighalo

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Ozil

  15. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Ozil > Payet now...

    and then do KDB > Sanchez next week? I'm struggling with 2 FTs here

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Noooo

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      No, why take Ozil out?

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Because i think Payet will outscore him over next 3 GWs and i'd much rather have Sanchez

        1. Marcin the Pole
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Dangerous strategy but if it works fair play to you.

          1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Trying to stop my season descending into six figure obscurity lol

            1. *sigh*
              10 years, 9 months ago

              It's what I did last week looking for differentials from the template now.

    3. Acquafresca
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't. Maybe swap a defender?

      and who are you captaining this week SD?

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I was thinking maybe get Toby in but seems like a bit of a waste when i have 3/4 perfectly playable defenders already this week

      2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Captain is a real ballache... i'm looking at Kane personally

    4. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      No for me.

  16. RAZZLE
    10 years, 9 months ago

    smalling > daniels worth a punt?
    would be for -4 but doesn't feel like a huge risk given fixtures & he's on pens
    alternative is keep smalling & play azpi ahead of him...
    thanks

    1. Konig Luther
      10 years, 9 months ago

      yes... likely to get a goal and an assist. Not sure about a CS 🙂

  19. sminkypinky
    10 years, 9 months ago

  21. Doar1986
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Which three

    Bellerin. Dier. Simpson. Merino. Target

    Ramsey > payet this week or wait ?

  22. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Pick a captain from these:

    A) Kane
    B) Mahrez
    C) Payet

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Kane

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going with Kane, but Mahrez is a good option as well.

    3. FantaCity
      10 years, 9 months ago

      It was out of those three for me too - I always go for Form, so Payet gets it, Mahrez VC

      1. Lazarus Star
        10 years, 9 months ago

        How's the form following working out? Seems to be effective this season. Form over player and fixture.

        1. FantaCity
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Mostly good, though I lost out with Ighalo C last week

        2. FantaCity
          10 years, 9 months ago

          ... and I ignore the player price tag completely with Captain choices

    4. Slumdog Mignolet.
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Payet

  23. hannibalos
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Good morning to all.

    Usually I am able to make my decision but this time I am troubled.

    I took a hit (-4) in order to bring Aguero and Michail Antonio to the team.

    Now, I have set my team like this:

    Eliot
    Simpson - Janmaat - Walker
    Eriksen - Ramsey - Tadic - Antonio
    Martial - Aguero - Costa

    With bench: Butland, Arnautovic, Moreno, Ward

    I am really puzzled if Arnautovic should enter (having the tough match against Arsenal) in the place of Ramsey or Antonio. Ramsey has been good to my team since I bought him. Eliot, Janmaat and Antonio in the same line up since they are playing each other can be dangerous but it is almost sure that Arsenal will score against Stoke. Tough choices

    1. Lazarus Star

      Prefer Kane to Lukaku for fixtures I think
