We’re back into the swing of the Gameweek cycle and returning to Paddy Power’s window, peering in to gather an additional set of considerations before the bell tolls on another deadline.

Before we scan Paddy’s odds for Anytime Goalscorers and Clean Sheets, we should remind those without accounts that you can sign up and take advantage of a batch of Paddy Power’s enhanced odds offers every Gameweek – this weekend is no exception.

Paddy get the ball rolling with their customary European Acca, offering 20/1 on wins for Man City (at Bournemouth), Arsenal (vs Watford), Barcelona (vs Real Madrid) and Juventus (vs Empoli).

Today’s all-important tea-time clash at Anfield is covered by two beefed-up offers, with new accounts able to get 8/1 on a Liverpool win over Spurs, or 9/1 on the visitors earning a priceless away win.

If that fails to tickle your fancy, you can dive into tomorrow’s live encounters and grab 7/1 on a Leicester win over Southampton, if 6/1 on Manchester United overcoming Everton in the later kick-off.

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.

Sergio Aguero (1.83) has drawn blanks in four of his last five starts but retains his regular position at the summit of Paddy’s likely scorer charts. Topping this week’s Captain Poll, the Argentine has been directly involved in 66% (nine goals, one assist) of Manchester City’s goals since Gameweek 20, which bodes well for his attacking prospects against a Bournemouth outfit that conceded seven goals in their last four home ties. Elsewhere in the Sky Blues camp, Kevin De Bruyne and Wilfried Bony (2.40) sneak into view with Paddy clearly backing an away win for Manuel Pellegrini’s men.

Surprisingly, Olivier Giroud (2.00) – who has started just one of Arsenal’s last four league fixtures – has been pinpointed as the second-most likely scorer this Gameweek as the Gunners prepare to host Watford (two clean sheets in 13). Alex Iwobi and Alexis Sanchez (both 2.20) also feature highly, with Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck (2.29) not far behind. Despite their recent FA Cup defeat to the Hornets, Paddy are clearly in Arsenal’s camp for today’s encounter.

In the absence of the suspended Diego Costa – who recently received an extension on his ban – back-ups forwards Loic Remy, Bertrand Traore and Radamel Falcao all come in at 2.29 before Chelsea’s alluring trip to Aston Villa. The Blues attack will clearly fancy their chances against a Villains rearguard that has surrendered 18 goals in their previous six outings.

Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy are both pitched at 2.40 ahead of crunch ties in the title race. Having netted five goals in his last three starts, the former is well placed to punish a Liverpool team that conceded three or more goals on three occasions over their last nine match-ups. As for Vardy, he graced the scoreboard just once in his previous seven league starts but will be brimming with confidence having scored in both England internationals during the break.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 32

TeamOdds
Arsenal1.90
Chelsea2.00
Sunderland2.25
Stoke City2.40
West Ham United2.50
Manchester United2.50
Leicester City2.60
Norwich City2.60
Man City2.87
Liverpool3.10

With Watford failing to score in seven of their last 10 matches, it’s little wonder that Arsenal (1.90) are handed the shortest clean-sheet odds by the bookmaker. Staying within the capital, Chelsea (2.00) are also well fancied to repel a Villa attack that is looking to avoid a fourth successive blank. Chelsea have, however, gone six matches without a shut-out.

Given that Sunderland (2.25) have failed to secure a clean sheet in 16 attempts, it’s somewhat perplexing that they rank third in our table prior to a home encounter against West Bromwich Albion, who have registered a solitary blank in five. Stoke City’s valuation (2.40) for their home tie against Swansea City also looks generous in the wake of Jack Butland’s season-ending injury and an array of knocks in the back four.

West Ham United (2.50) have recorded three straight clean sheets at the Boelyn Ground, so they appear to represent good value against a Crystal Palace unit that’s devoid of a fit and proven striker. As for Man United (2.50), they could struggle to contain an Everton team that racked up nine goals in their last trio of road matches.

Leicester and Norwich City (both 2.60) are neck and neck ahead of their respective home fixtures. The Foxes earned clean sheets in six of their previous seven showdowns at the King Power Stadium, bolstering their case for investment. The Canaries, meanwhile, strive for their third consecutive clean sheet against a Newcastle squad that charts bottom for away goals (seven).

      Anyone else benching Ali?

      It is making me nervous. I have been staying loyal to my double West Ham mids and its been paying off, mostly!

      Antonio Payet (C) Mahrez Ozil

      Aguero Kane Welbeck

      1. Clumsy Sakho
        • 10 Years

        I'm benching Lukaku

        1. Fancy Feet
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          He is currently on the bench check as well. I think whoever I choose I'll still be worried.

      2. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I'm benching him and playing Arnie, Payet, Ozil, and Mahrez.

      3. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. It was him or Lukaku but the stats favour Luk.

      4. MTPockets
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Can't decide between him and Silva

      5. denial

        Currently benching Lukaku over Siggy and Alli

            That would be a first for me. Never really used them before.

        2. Sergeant Garcia
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          I currently have Lukaku on the bench too in favor of Siggy. Still undecided though.

      6. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years

        Play Toby over Daniels, even though Daniels on pens and gets assists?

          2. MTPockets
              9 years, 11 months ago

              No

            • NATSTER
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Nah.. I will activate next GW, but a bit late.

            • George James
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Yes thinking that. But what's the advantage of doing it straight away ?

              1. fickle
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                None. You just need to do it before the price rises much later in the day.

            • MarkyMarkovic
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              aawwwww yeah.
              Then transfer people in as they score during the GW...

            • Jafalad
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Yes - stand by for a deluge of WC teams. It will like pre-season again. Just needs Daniel to go "Juhuhuhuhuhuh" every other post.

          3. MTPockets
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Start Williams (potential bps) or Daniels (potential penalties)?

              Start Silva (fixture) or Alli (form)?

              Nice site redesign - bit stretched but sure will get used to it.

            • @persecuted_by_mods
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Guys city are horrendous away and now they'll be missing yaya Hart and Kompany against a team that covers the most ground (I'm sure they even outran spurs!)
                Kane is the safest choice imo

                1. The Mandalorian
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  KDB is back!!!!

                  1. NATSTER
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 11 months ago

                    He was poor on away games as well.

                  2. Weasel Boy
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 11 months ago

                    He certainly is but was always awful away from home.

              • George James
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Are most activating the wildcard for next week as soon as this game week begins? Can I ask the advantage of doing this then rather than later in the week?

                1. zizoo10
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  potential rivals won't know it's activated, that's prob the only advantage..

                  You may catch a few price rises.

                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  To take advantage of price rises perhaps

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Start one

                A) Alli
                B) Eriksen
                C) Payet -4

                    I like Otamendi from a footballing point of view.

                      I have Clichy and Mangala 🙂 I think both are nailed for both and Mangala will be dropped after the DGW.

                      Is there anywhere I can find out the team news for the Chelsea game before the deadline of 11:45? I have Bertrand Traore in my team currently but will sub him if he isn't starting.
