Reserve that judgment call for another ten minutes – it’s time to assess Paddy Power’s take on where the goals will and won’t be scored over the Gameweek.

The big Gameweek opener at the Etihad is covered by Paddy’s special odds of 5/1 on a Man City win over Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester.

Looking ahead to Sunday, new accounts can get 7/1 on an Arsenal away win at Bournemouth and 6/1 on Chelsea continuing their resurgence by claiming a win over Man United at the Bridge.

There is nothing to separate Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane (both 1.72) at the top of Paddy’s reckoning for an anytime goal. The City striker has amassed five strikes in his previous three outings but now collides with a Leicester City defence that’s recorded five clean sheets in their last six outings. Meanwhile, Kane boasts three goals in four and welcomes Watford to White Hart Lane. The Hornets defence have shipped eight goals over their last six, recording just a single shut-out – against Chelsea in midweek.

Liverpool’s attack is highly fancied by Paddy heading into their Anfield meeting with struggling Sunderland: both Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino are priced at the 1.83 mark for an anytime goal. That makes the Brazilian the most fancied midfielder to score in the Gameweek, although team-mate Adam Lallana is not far behind in Paddy’s reckoning at 2.40.

The confidence in Liverpool looks to be slightly misplaced, given that the Reds notched three blanks in their last five matches. Moreover, the Black Cats’ new-look defence stifled Man City’s attack in midweek, restricting them to six attempts and two shots on target.

Graziano Pelle and Charlie Austin are both backed at 2.20 for Southampton’s home tie against West Ham United. Paddy’s faith in the Saints’ forward line stems from the fact that the south-coast outfit won their previous three fixtures at St Mary’s Stadium by an aggregate of 9-0, trouncing the likes of West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal.

Olivier Giroud (2.29) has been pinpointed as the Gunners’ biggest threat when they make the trip to Bournemouth. The Frenchman failed to net in his last three starts but may just struggle against a Cherries back line that mustered two shut-outs in their previous three home clashes.

Liverpool2.00
Tottenham2.00
Southampton2.10
Chelsea2.37
Manchester City2.40

Aston Villa2.62

Liverpool and Tottenham (both 2.00) have been handed the shortest clean sheet odds ahead of their respective home encounters. Again, Paddy’s backing of Jurgen Klopp’s side looks a little generous – the Reds’ defence are widely inconsistent and have shipped 12 goals in their last six league outings, keeping just one shut-out.

The Spurs odds look more understandable – they conceded just 19 goals over the season – fewer than any other BPL side. While that’s translated to just eight clean sheets over 24 matches, visitors Watford have notched a paltry four goals in their last six, promoting the appeal of Mauricio Pochettino’s rearguard this weekend.

Southampton (2.10) go in pursuit of their fifth successive shut-out as they host West Ham at St Mary’s. While Ronald Koeman’s side are in outstanding defensive form – bolstered by the displays of Frazer Forster – again, Paddy’s odds seem a little generous here. The Hammers have scored 12 goals in their last six league matches and will arrive on the south coast full of confidence and possibly boosted by the return of Andy Carroll as a “Plan B” option up front.

At the other end of the country, Man City (2.40) will attempt to rebuff a Foxes attack that charts joint-second for goals scored (44) this term. While we’re expecting fireworks in this encounter, given that the Leicester and Man City defences have allowed just four goals between them over their last six, there’s every chance that goals will be at a premium.

Chelsea are up next with odds of 2.37 for a clean sheet against an improving Man United. Guus Hiddink’s side go into Sunday’s Stamford Bridge meeting fresh from their fourth shut-out in six Gameweeks following the stalemate at Vicarage Road.

Newcastle (2.40) search for their first clean sheet in 10 outings when the Baggies – who’ve scored a solitary goal in three fixtures – arrive at St James’ Park. Swansea (2.40) are valued in line with the Toon prior to their Liberty Stadium meeting with Crystal Palace, who’ve registered just two goals in seven outings. Given the Eagles current form and their lengthy injury list, the Swan’s odds look a little long.

      I'm thinking about this move for free..

      Question: why VVD over Wimmer??
      And what's the big love on here for VVD..

        I already own dier and moreover soton have easier fixtures..

        If you assume Spurs get through in the FA Cup, their fixtures don't look as good as Saints.

      One random newspaper predicting him not to start? Maybe stop spreading the rumors even more.

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 days ago

        I have Captained him , thats why asking.. people usually get Liverpool's leaked Teamsheet here , so its better to confirm , not spreading the rumours

    5. lufc87

      Hmmm, I'm so tempted by hoolahan.

      Do we fancy him over Willian?

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 days ago

        Stoke have a huge hole in their defence and Palace have no attackers to keep the opposition busy away from their goal. It's a choice between two evils.

  7. Sooda
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 days ago

    I know Im 3 days late for this, but should I stick with Lukaku or get in Kane ?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 days ago

      Kane (c)

    2. timski8000
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 days ago

      Actually there is a good arguement that everyone else was 3 days early - Lukaku now looks fit to play.

      This week I'd rather have Kane, next week Lukaku and the week after Kane has a game where Romelu doesn't...

      I have both and am pretty happy with that. Longer term I think I'd prefer Kane if I could only have 1.

      Whisper it quietly, Spurs to win the league.

      1. Sooda
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 days ago

        Thank you, that helps. My other two strikers are Ighalo and Kun, I can get Kane and Vardy in for Luka and Ighalo for a hit, wondering if i should

    Without Harry Kane's 15 PL goals this season, Tottenham would be one point worse off.

    😆

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 days ago

      That kind of assumptions have never made any sense to me. They are totally pointless. It's based on something like this: If Kane didn't score this penalty against Norwich, Tottenham would have still won thanks to Alli's goal. Which is obviously nonsense, because Norwich could have easily come back from 0-1.

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 days ago

        I agree there is no substance to it, just caught my attention while reading through some match facts on the fotmob app

  10. SBM
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 days ago

    Is VvD worth 0.1 more than Fonte?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 days ago

      I think so

      1. SBM
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 days ago

        I've just got VvD but a bit surprised that everyone seems to be suggesting him and no mention of Fonte. Very similar in terms of bonus/goals etc.

    Why are we all benching Payet?!

    1. Bastien
      • 13 Years

      probably because we are going to play a Soton defender?

      because of other players in the squad
      lots of key match ups this weekend of FFS favourites
      personally i'm playing igloo +payet+vardy
      but because of this am benching mahrez
      many many similar

        GL

  17. Bastien
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 days ago

    Bench one:
    A) van Dijk (WHU)
    B) Payet (sot)
    C) Moreno (SUN)
    D) Vardy (mci)

    My initial thought is between A and B, as they cannot do both well, under normal circumstances.
    Now on B.

    But would like to know other ppl opinion as well.

    thanks

      next time sort one of your FT before game day
      suggest this morning upgrade and defender and then rethink how to use your 2 FTs next time

  21. Carcetti

      No.

  22. Kev Win

    Right?

    1. Alisson WondHaaland

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 days ago

      Think Sanchez is best captain choice this week, but I have Ozil and not sure if it's worth using my 2nd FT to do that move if I'm trying to set myself up for GW30.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 days ago

      Could see Firmino getting 25-30 points next 2x GW's - hopefully! Hattrick today would be lovely

      Interesting midfield, secretly hoping for a Henderson goal myself

  26. mayofc2000

    My wild card team goes

    GK : Forster, Curtois
    DF : Clyne, Monreal, Wimmer, Simpson and Daniels
    MID : Ayew, Wijinaldum, Sanchez, Ali, Mahrez
    STR : Vardy, Kane, Aguero

    (1) I am behind in H2H. I brough in clyne for this GW only. Should i bring in firmino? If so for who?
    (2) Who should bench Vardy, Mahrez, Ali or Sanchez?
    (3) Any other suggestions for transfers ? Captain tip?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Same issue here, think I might go for Kane in the end.

      Kun played the early game, which is slightly annoying. Also the Leicester defense is pretty strong. Kane could've scored 4 against Norwich.

      But it's still toich and go.

        Toich = touch

    Do folks think Moreno will start today?

    Could his place be in jeopardy due to Smith and Flanagan?

    Thanks
