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

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).

      Kun due a big score soon but he has been away on international duty I think may be tired

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

    10. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      worth bringing in payet for -4? (WC next week)

      Adrian
      Bellerin - Williams - Morgan
      Ozil - Mahrez - Alli - Siggy
      Kun(C) - Kane - Vardy

      McCarthy - Eriksen - Smith - Targett

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        If you're benching Eriksen, swap him for Payet and bench Alli or Siggy.

        1. zizoo10
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 25 days ago

          yes that would be the plan, so you think it's worth a -4?

          1. Hybrid.power
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 25 days ago

            In my opinion, yes

      2. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        only if you want to captain him

    11. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      G2G?

      Forster
      Rose / Bellerin / Fuchs
      Payet (c) / Ozil / Siggy / Mahrez
      Aguero (v) / Kane / Lukaku

      (Gomes / Alli / Daniels / Williams)

      Decided to bench Alli over Siggy and Lukaku as they are both on penalties, couldn't think of another way to swing it!

    12. Here's the manager
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Morning

      Hennessy (Butland)

      1. Rabbinton

        Get Payet and bench Siggy

      2. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Yaya to Payet and bench Siggy or Alli

        1. Here's the manager

          Thanks both

    13. Rabbinton

      Who for sterling?
      A)Payet
      B) Oscar
      C) Willian

      Whit to bench for the above?
      1) Alli
      2) Arnie

      1. Shipstontrev
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Payet, the other two only got back yesterday

    14. Bojaninho
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      No keeper worth a -4 to get one in when wc next week

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Your odds are quite good of making it back, but it only takes one goal to spoil your day. Depends how lucky you feel.

    15. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Almost ready with my wildcard team. I expect nothing less than glorious failure.

      Mignolet Robles
      Smalling Bellerin Gabriel Clyne Lascelles
      Ozil Payet (Firmino) Bolassie Lanzini
      Ageuro Lukaku Defoe

      No change.

      Final question:
      (a) Get Firmino this week and expect a no-show (Bolassie on bench)
      (b) Get Coutinho instead
      (c) One week punt on Arnautovic or Willian

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I would try to find a way to wait on more information about the Liverpool mid situation. I'm looking to get one in GW34.

        1. Jönny
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Maybe Arnie then...

      2. Bojaninho
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Willian is tempting

      Any news on Cech?

      1. Whats the Huth

      Can't decide between Ozil or Payet C. And yes I have Kun

        Payet

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years

        Payet if chasing!

      Which defender to play

      A. Alderwiereld
      B. VVD
      C. Daniels

      I own Aguero but Daniels at home could get something against city. Don't fancy spurs to keep a clean sheet. I have too many Leicester I think to consider VVD but I have read a few of you think it could be 0-0

      3rd option to minus 4 to ditch alderwiereld to Cresswell/Van aarnholt/Klose thoughts?

        I'm currently playing Rose, unless I decide to take a one week punt on PvA! Really can't decide!

        1. Rider on the Storm
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 25 days ago

          kane based on form

      2. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Yes. It's Payet right now for me.

      3. Arteta
        • 10 Years

        Kun

      4. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years

      4. Rabbinton
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Courtois & Payet but then it's a benching headache

    29. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Bench:
      A. Alli (has Kane too but Alli's away form...?)
      B. Siggy (has never won Stoke before but could it be today?)

      Who would you play out of Robles and Darlow?

      1. Konig Luther
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Darlow if you have him

      2. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Dar

    32. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      My best PB is -1 in gw8. Can anyone beat that?

    33. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      settled on wildcard draft xxvii eventually. 🙂
      but almost 2 hrs to go... 🙁

      trying to get Liam Neeson for the film.

    34. LeicesterA
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I've got far too much value tied up in Kane and Mahrez to ship them in WC, so I will probably role with 13 DGW players only. This will also allow me to enjoy LEI's Sunderland and Swansea fixtures, and maintain funds to bring Kane back in 35.

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        If you're keeping Kane you don't need to bring him back 35?

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 25 days ago

          double Kane in 35!

      2. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I'm keeping them too. Double gameweeks don't mean guaranteed points.

      3. LeicesterA
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I have no idea why I typed Kane. I meant Vardy there!
