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.

    Reckon boruc and hennessey could work as a keeper combo?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Top of the page with the big issues...

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years

      Why not assuming Hennessey won't get dropped.

    3. Vman
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not too sure how much longer Hennessey will play maybe Boruc/Schmeichel i have Adrian/Butland

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Currently have ddg, but downgrade to boruc would allow alli to payet.

    Aguero's history against Palace

    Last season (14/15):
    - Aguero was injured for the home leg.
    - In the away leg, Aguero hit the post. This game also came in his little goal drought towards the end of the season and then exploded next game against Man United. He took recorded three shots that game.

    Season (13/14):
    - Aguero was injured for the home leg
    - In the away leg, he didn't score but he did record three shots with two inside the box.

    So Aguero hasn't played Palace at home before.

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Prob getting injured then

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And Palace is in dire form at the moment. They just lost to Aston Villa that tells you everything you need to know.

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Have a plus one for the research. 🙂

      Still don't believe in this old stats projecting his points but i gotta say they didn't fill me with confidence either.

      1. samaael
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i didnt like the whole aguero hasn't scored against Palace narrative thing, thought I would look into it a bit

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

          Yeah. I'm still capping him.

  5. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

    A differential punt in midfield

    Yaya or Firmino and to play ahead of Lukaku/Ozil

    1. Mitts1411
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For what it's worth I have brought Firmino into my wildcard team to be a differential.
      Planning to play him ahead of either Lukaku or Ozil.....have Ozil on bench at the moment

    2. Puzzle

      Wouldn't buy any of those unless you're wildcarding soon.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yaya

    4. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably firminio, although he gets me so angry, was bloody useless when I saw him live last week at Britannia, came home thinking he was poorest player in show and then against gunners was different man, been the story of the season, but with coutinho out I think he will thrive...

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Shades.. I might give him another week.

        1. 50 Shades Oshea
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ye probably best think to do, just deciding the same thing right now as got 2fts to burn and have no one I need to get rid apart from walcott who's benched, on wiji or antonio right now, but may go firminio as looks good long term

    Repost. What to do with this team? 1FT, 2.4 ITB. Considering saving.

    Butland (Hennessey)

    Simpson, Bellerin, Moreno (Dawson, Dann)

    Alli, Mahrez, KDB, Ozil (Stanislas)

    Lukaku, Aguero, Kane.

    Ideas?

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years

      Not much to do

      Save your FT this week and look at it again next week with 2FTs

        Thanks. Leaning towards this, but it's hard after two bad GW's.

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

      Id make a defensive tranfer. Maybe Moreno to a Spurs defender.

  7. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Kane a better choice over Kun because he's the focal point for Spurs, where as City can score from many positions?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's so close, one of the hardest captaincy choices this season. It's mainly Sunderland's woeful defense that is tempting for me regarding Kane.

    2. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think once he starts Kun will be consistent. It's just waiting for him to start. City also need Kompany so they can go full attack without worrying about getting back.

      The problem with Kane is I think there is a lot of sense in the theory that he drops off when Dembele isn't playing.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Is Dembele back today?

      2. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Silva back today will help

    3. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kun for me

  8. il Brutto
    • 12 Years

    Really torn with who to start from Bellerin and Cresswell?

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

    Butland, Myhill

    Ozil, Mahrez, Alli, Arnautovic, Payet
    Kane, Vardy, Lukaku,

    Probably swap kane and vardy for ighalo and aguero next week. Bit want to keep kane against sunderland.

      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How far are you from being able to do Vardy to Aguero? You can get him now on WC with a cheap 5th mid instead of Arnie and a defensive downgrade if necessary.

      1. SAS
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I could do vardy to aguero, if I also did arnie to fletcher, then best mid at £4.8 which is what I would have to spend.

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights

    2. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You have double Arsenal, City and Spurs cover, so drop one of them, best the away fixture.

      I wouldn't bench Payet, West Ham will score against Newcastke and he'll probably have some role in it.
