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).

    On WC this week. Have Sturridge and Gabriel.. a bit worried, could easlily change it to something more less risky.. Any suggestions?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not Studge. Keep Kane in that case

      1. Clumsy Sakho
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Welbeck and Koscienly/Clyne

  2. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else just wish the bell would ring so they can hit the WC button?

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

      Aye. Gonna be some serious stinker tinker.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No but I probably will come the end of today's fixtures

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

      O/

    5. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I know it's a bit late in the season to build squad value but is it not better to leave the wildcard button until you've finished with all your transfers in the hope that your rivals will be priced out of making certain moves?

  3. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Leading my league by 15 points. My rivals have Alli but no Siggie. I have both.

    Do I play it safe and bench Siggie or go for it and bench Alli?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Play siggie in my opinion the Stoke defence will be very shaky without Butland

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I think that lead is too close to worry about doing anything other than playing your normal game.

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Play Alli.......away form is good

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

      I would play it safe

    5. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm 33 ahead and I'm playing Siggy. Hard decision

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        If Leicester were away to Saints I would bench Vardy but the home game edges him in.

        Praying Liverpool keep Alli quiet

  4. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If I can't afford Antonio is Lanzini worth it or just look elsewhere?

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

      Lanzini definately a good option, yes

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

      Yes Lanzini is one of our most creative players, I defo would go in for him

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      i'd pick him

  5. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Clyne - Monreal - Simpson

    Ozil - Silva - Siggy - Mahrez

    Aguero (C) - Kane - Vardy

    Subs: Elliot - Daniels - Lingard - VVD

    I have Butland and Hart and no FT. Should I:

    B) Take a hit to bring in Adrian

    1. There's Always One!
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Do you think Sturridge and Rashford will play 180 minutes?

      1. weeurquahrt

        Rushford yes Sturridge 160

  11. There's Always One!
    • 16 Years

    Alli or siggy today ?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Do you have Eriksen? In my opinion play Siggy

      1. There's Always One!
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        No but I have kane

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah id say play Siggy no butland will probably mean no Stoke defence

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

    Take a punt on a player this GW and/or take a little gamble on putting the armband on someone else than the most obvious choice.
    We have a lot of DGWs ahead of us, so why not take a risk this GW. 🙂

    I'm (C) Payet and playing Siggy ahead of Alli and also benching Toby.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed

    2. Jonty Rhodes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah. I agree. I am getting Toby out for Cresswell. Do you agree?

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

      2.7m in bank

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

        I agree. If you are not planning on keeping Toby on your WC or for the rest of the season, go for it!

        I would actually suggest: start Forster ahead of Hennessey. CRY plays away against West Ham and they can't keep clean sheets. Forster might not keep a CS, but he collects the saves. And who knows, Southampton just might keep Leicester out. 🙂
        SOU is way more tighter in the back than CRY. So that my only suggestion of change.
        Other than that it looks great. 🙂

    2 big doubts,

    I have Hoolahan, they play newcastle(h), cry(a) and sunderland(h). Should I change him for Lanzini or Antonio, and for which one?

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      Antonio

        would like to hear your opinion,
        Should I change Hoolahan for Lanzini or Antonio?
