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).

  7. Sergeant Garcia

  8. For Fuchs Sake

    9 years, 11 months ago

    If Alli scores well, there will be a lot of gutted people on here, me included :-/

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Well, it's the GW of punts. I wouldn't cry to much actually, unless he explodes.
      I'm playing Siggy ahead of him. 🙂

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Similar, I'm playing Arnie

      2. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        advice on 2 from these 3 please

        Siggy (stoke away)
        Alli (pool away)
        Traore (villa away)

        1. La Vida Latte
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          If youre not playing traore this week, when would you?

        2. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Siggy and Alli, unless you really think Traore will play?

        3. FPL Puppy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Difficult. Traore might not play.

          Wanna take a risk? Play Siggy and Traore, bench Alli. If Traore doesn't play then Alli will come on. Unless Traore makes a cameo.

          Well, that's what I would have done.

          Or play it more safe and just go Siggy and Alli. 😉

          But it's Villa....:P

          Haha! I will stop now.

          1. GREENDREAMS11
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            thanks all, sorry for the late reply, yeah I suppose I pretty much got Traore in the hope he would play against Villa so maybe I should try him before one of the others.

            decisions decisions. thanks for the replies all

  9. FPL Mentor

        Kun. just realised palance have conceded the least amount of big chances away from home this season out of any other team. park that bus pardew

        1. Aguerrrooooooo

      Payet. This GW is more about taking risks since I'm WC next week.

  12. KuttiBunja
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    10M for a midfielder?
    -Fabregas, Oscar, Arnie, Siggy, Willian, Silva, Cout?????

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      This week only, Fab

  13. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How do you tell is someone has activated their WC?

    1. Aguerrrooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      you cant tell by checking their team but if you notice their team value has drastically changed from last week and it shows 0 gameweek transfers then they have played their WC

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        no he hasn't then 😉

  14. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    When you pick defenders, do you try to bench them if they play against your attacking players? Like today I am probably benching Williams and playing Arnie. Just to maximize points. Otherwise a goal from Arnie would mean just one point netto. Do you play like this?

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

      This

    2. Casp123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I have this dilemma but my alternatives to Williams are van Dijk (lei) and Daniels (MC).

      I could always go AAA.

  15. sylvanshine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who should i start Gomes(ARS) or Forster(LEI)? Thinking of Gomes as i have Mahrez and Vardy, and just Ozil for the other pair.

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Id say forster

  16. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    On a WC, which trio?

    A) Firmino Barkley Rashford
    or
    B) Milner Lennon Martial

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Probably a, but firm could be out...

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Ya he wont come in until 34 anyway as I'm punting on Bolasie for 33 so i'll see how his injury is

  17. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    On WC... who will score the most points over the DGW's Coutinho or Firmino?

    1. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm on Coutinho so would say him. Although I intend to bring in Firmino in 34 for Bolasie

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho more nailed and consistent. Firm explosive

  18. Gassemannen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Which would combo would you prefer (WC this week):

    A: Darlow (Robles) - Lanzini - Martial

    or

    B: Mignolet (Robles) - Lingard - Welbeck

  19. mod33
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Right decision time

    A) Mignolet and Kosc
    B) Cech and Reid

    Or any other options.....

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      For one week?

      1. mod33
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        No for the running
        Who would you replace Butland and Kompany with

        1. FPL Puppy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          DDG and Bellerin/Cresswell. Depends on who your other keeper is and if you have enough players to cover up GW35, and also enough cash. 🙂

  20. Snapes on a Plane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Augero or Payet(C)?

  21. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero and Sanchez owners

    Who are you captaining out of the two?

    1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero

  22. MITRO'S ON FIRE
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Start Vardy (SOT) or Alli (liv).

    Also own Mahrez and Kane.

    Cheers

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

      Exact same boat.

      Currently have Alli on bench and scrolling in here for some re assurance it's the way to go

      Help

      1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Scrolling back through the pages Vardy seems the populist vote

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Play Vardy, assists and scores regularly and at home.

  23. Anders
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Any chance of Bertrand Traore playing or am I setting myself up for another 1 pointer if I start him instead of Alli?

    Team is currently looking like:
    de Gea
    Fuchs, Bellerín, Williams
    Mahrez, Silva, Traore, Sigurdsson
    Vardy, Kane, Agüero

    Lloris, Alli, van Dijk, Francis

    I have 1 FT to use.

  24. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez Ozil Siggy Payet Wijnaldum

    which one to I drop?

    If not one of Aguero, Kane or Vardy

    1. James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      W or siggy

  25. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Still time to change your cap'n.

    I mean, it's a tough choice right.

    May be better to go with the crowd / trust your gut / cover your ml rivals / listen to the stats / etc / etc...

    Good luck!!
