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).

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      An easy B for me. Newcastle must win this game, and even if he's playing deeper, he's still a player who can turn the game. It was indeed Norwich whom he exploded against earlier this season 😉

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        If he gets 4 today i'll personally get a bevy for him 😉

      Yea

    2. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years

      Yes

    3. ILOVEBAPS

      Yep. Defo

    4. AgentRed

      Thanks all

    5. Lecky Legs FC

      Yeah

  3. Jonty Rhodes
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Toby Alderwieled for Ivanovic as FT despite big loss on his rise in value. Bought him at 5.2!!?

    Hennessey (Forster)
    Alderwield, Huth, Bellerin (Daniels, Van Dijk)
    Payet (vc), Toure, Mahrez, Ozil (Alli)
    Aguero (c), Rondon, Kane

    2.7m in bank

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I wouldn't, too short-term

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Can you not do vvd or Daniels instead?

      1. AgentRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        This

      2. Jonty Rhodes
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Daniels and VVD have good GW33 fixtures and Toby doesnt. Makes sense? Plus 3 Spurs guys in my squad when they dont have any DGWs may also mean that I start shipping them out

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

      Why not do VVD to Ivan instead?

      1. Jonty Rhodes
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        VVD not because hes got a good fixture next week compared to Toby. Makes sense?

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      If it's long term then yes. Price now means not much

      1. Jonty Rhodes
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks guys. I agree Ivan seems too short termish. Perhaps Cresswell could be a better choice for Toby if I end up not doing WC as West ham has DGW 34

  4. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Courtois or Adrian? This GW only

    1. Chenku╰☆╮

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Courtois. Unless you already have a Chelsea defender and then spread the risk with Adrian (what I did)

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

        No Chelsea defence

        1. AgentRed
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Then Courtois

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

            Done

  5. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

      Alli

      Spurs > Stoke

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Arnie easy for me. Form and fixture

    3. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Arnie is at home

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

        Alli is away

  6. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    My WC team is there I think:

    Robles/Migs
    Bellerin, Kos, Mangala, Rojo, Reid
    Mahrez, Ozil, Coutino, Payet, Lingard
    Kun, Studge, Lukaku

    0.0 in bank, G2G?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Id rather Kane than Studge

  7. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Captain Payet or Sanchez?

    1. 8ball
      • 11 Years

    Rate my wildcard team and plan please guys: Any obvious improvements????

    Mignolet Robles
    Bellerin Koscielny Rojo Sakho Simpson
    Ozil Barkley Mahrez Payet Bolasie
    Aguero Lukaku Martial

    GW33 Save
    GW34 - Bolasie to Milner
    GW35 - Rojo to Azpi and Payet to Willian (gives me 11 players)
    GW 36 - Aguero to Ighalo
    GW 37 - Ozil to Payet (gives me 10 DGWers)

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

      Gw37 doesn't make sense as you already have Payet, looks a decent team, pls check mine above too 🙂

      1. flippetyflop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I transfer payet out for willian in 35 to give myself 11 players then bring him back in

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Maybe Martial > Mitrovic
      Mignolet > Cech
      Beller/ Kos> Cresswell

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

  12. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    As it gets closer to deadline I feel myself reverting to Dullard and going...

    Playing Alderweireld over Williams
    Picking Ozil over Sanchez
    Playing Alli over Arnautovic
    Choosing Aguero (c) over Payet

  13. Takedog1
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    start 2 players

    mahrez
    ali
    vardy

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Easier to say who to bench 🙂
      Bench Alli

    2. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Bench Alli

  14. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Which wildcard defence would you prefer

    A With Ozil
    Robles Mignolet
    Simpson Sakho Koscielny Olsson Reid

    B With Mahrez
    Robles Cech
    Simpson Sakho Koscielny Dann Cresswell

    Already have Sanchez
    Thoughts??

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

      I'd go B and take Ozil instead of Sanchez

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Alexis is my all time favourite 🙂

      Respect your opinion
      Cheers mate

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

        I see, that's fine. Like him a lot too. Just think Ozil will get more points. Possibly A then. Good luck 🙂

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

    Adrian
    Bellerin - Fuchs
    Øzil - Eriksen - Payet - Mahrez - Antonio
    Aguero - Kane - Vardy

    Captain Aguero or Payet? Just feel like I will have too many eggs in the West Ham basket if I captain Payet..

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I am in the same position but lanzini instead of antonio. I also have Adrian. I'm on Aguero atm

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

        Just feel like Payet is the perfect combination of form and fixture. Idk what to do. On Aguero myself. But why?

  16. Moss
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Morning

    Play Huth or go AOA and play Alli?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      When else would you play AOA?

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

        No idea. Maybe GW38.

  17. Shrimp On The Barb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Start:
    a) Siggy
    b) Arnie

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Arnie

  18. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Bench one please..

    Silva Alli Lingard Arny Mahrez Lukaku Kane Aguero

  19. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    He's super Slav's man
    He's better than Zidane!

    We've got Dimitri Payet!

  20. Veraswami
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Is Payet worth a -4 transfer for Firmino ?

  21. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Are people playing their WC as soon as the game updates today? I know there is protection from price rises but is everyone getting their squad locked in asap and then making changes throughout the week if necessary

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

      Why wouldn't they?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Was just curious. Injuries to key DGW players like Kaku could force a re-think for some who are floating between GW34 and 37

  22. Heytch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone have this front-8, because I've literally no idea who to bench:

    Payet Alli Coutinho Sanchez Mahrez
    Lukaku Aguero Vardy

    Bench is Luka at moment!

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Ouch,Alli out of those

      1. Heytch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks bud. He'll do eeek

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Now that's a time for the AOA chip!

  23. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    2 FT and WC in 36.
    Need a Butland replacement

    Hennessey Butland
    Fuchs Dawson Targett Williams Alderweireld
    Firmino Mahrez Özil Silva Alli
    Vardy Agüero Kane
    1.4m

    Thinking Cech but then if I want Lukaku in for Vardy then to afford it I would have to downgrade Alli to a 4.8m like lingard/iwobi.
    Any other ideas? cheers

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Adrian or Robles?

      1. Back on the horse

    1. Veraswami

      Toby and Alli .

      1. Veraswami
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        correction Arnie *

  25. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Aguero (c) is the safe choice but I'm extremely tempted by Payet (c).

    Too big a risk of I want to maintain ranking?

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

      I'm in the exact same position. Want to play it safe with Aguero, but then again I do think Payet could easily be the best choice...

      1. commonsns
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I'm also tempted by Payet. But then I'm chasing 50 pts at the moment so need to start taking some punts...

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

          Payet could be a good call this week if you're chasing. Will be a lot of Aguero captainers and captaincies all over the place.

  26. commonsns
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Really struggling here guys, 2FT - WC 33 - 2.1 ITB. Best 2 punts?

    [McCarthy] Butland
    Fuchs Williams Daniels [VVD Nyom]
    Mahrez Alli Eriksen Siggy Payet
    Kun Kane [Vardy]

    Obviously need rid of Butland, but for?
    A. Adrian
    B. Courtois

    The next one is not so straightforward:
    A. Eriksen -> Fab
    B. Eriksen -> Oscar
    C. Eriksen -> Other?
