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.

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Barkley the one to go, but not sure since you cant afford Barkley->Payet

    2. bvb
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley out + where is Sagna?

  3. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bench lukaku or ozil?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Im on Lukaku but not sure, see below 🙂

    2. jimmybob
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Neither! Are they seriously your only options?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty much, Arnie's big game scores have forced him into my team.

  4. Diva
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I don't recall a player with 16 per cent ownership being called differential before this season. Or do the scouts usually call anyone not in their scout squad differential?

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Who are you referring to?

      I think the percentage ownership can be misleading if a section of the ownership is within "Ghostship" or dead teams. Also, when there are 3-4 strikers dominating, someone like Giroud is still a differential simply because he goes against the grain.

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

        Is there a way to filter out dead teams?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          yep, get SmartyPants or FFFix to trawl through players transfer pages

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

            Thanks Balders

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

        Aguero had about 12-13% ownership while he was injured

      3. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Giroud is in 15.7% of teams. I thought 10% was the usual cut off.

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

          I doubt it shud be. Dead teams are more common than most imagine or choose to believe. I mean they probably are, as i'm simply speculating

        2. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 19 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          There's no hard and fast rule. I just felt that Giroud is likely to be a handy differential this week, given that Kane and Aguero will be so strongly backed and given Lukaku's ownership.

          1. Diva
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough. I guess 10 % is more the historic rule of thumb and probably doesn't have as much relevance this season.

      4. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        17% ownership among active managers

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          So his ownership is actually marginally higher among active managers than inactive managers...

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            8.7% in the top k

      5. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But, yes, I understand that in this season of dominance for such a small band of players, even selecting Giroud may be considered going against the grain.

      6. ValterPereira
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mark, can I ask your thoughts about my wildcard team:

        Lloris, Hennessey
        Simpson, Smith, Williams, Jagielka, Sagna
        Alli, Payet, Barkley, De Bruyne (going for Sanchez next week), Mahrez
        Lukaku, Kane and Aguero.

        I'm mainly not so confident on my defence...

        Thanks in advance.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think maybe just that he's non template?

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much, the term has been getting used more and more loosely.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      who're we talking about Diva?

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Giroud. Sixth most widely owned striker.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          lol you can probably only bang Bojan's drum for so long. Tbh I quite like Afobe as a pick this week. He settled straight in midweek.

          1. Mark
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 19 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I also think Long will score but we put him on the Scout Picks bench.

            1. Diva
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Now that truly is a differential pick Mark - kudos! 😀
