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).

  2. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years

    3. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I was on here yesterday where a large percentage of folks were saying go Payet go Payet. Had it on Kun originally changed to Payet (peer pressure!) and I'm looking at it now with Kun there.. Yeah Bournemouth are on their holidays already quite possibly

    4. kalmoffit

    Front seven of:

    Özil, Mahrez, Siggy, Alli
    Kun, Kane, Vardy

      9 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years

    • 15 Years

    Payet not in Paddy's anytime goalscorer odds near the top? Interesting.
    I bet he's in Ladbrokes my local bookie.

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

      2.62 @ Ladbrokes

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks Epic. I may pop round for my first bet of the season.

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

          6.50 first goalscorer might be worth a couple of quid.

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It seems they've only gone with players who play in the strikers role

        • Has Moderation Rights

  8. Respect My Authoritah

    A) Rashford, Cou/Firmino, Smalling

    C) Mitrovic, Lallana, Smalling

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

      A although if Rooney comes back soon then B even though I don't like Darmian I'd have him over Lallana any day

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      How about Martial, Milner and Rojo?..

  10. 8ball

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Two free transfers before WC next gw.

    Forster->Courtois/other gk?
    Arnie/siggy/alli->Payet

    Going with first stated options in both cases atm.

  12. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    who to play wimmer or smith ?

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

      Smith

  13. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I've gone with Kane as captain for the last 2 GWs but won't today. I was certain about Payet most of this week, but some friends have lead to me putting the captaincy on Aguero now.

    I'm not sure why. City are terrible away from home - they've scored something like 10 in 13. Palace are the worst form team in the league (and in Europe?) conversely.

    Why Aguero?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      the usual answer on here is because he is Aguero.

  14. Sendmelentils
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who to Bench?
    Sigurdsson A
    Traore B

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

    Play Arnie or Alli? It's the only thing I'm stuck on now :-/

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

      Arnie

  16. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Siggy to Payet for -4?

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

      Not for a hit.

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

      only if you captain him!

  17. Gerci
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    For a hit:

    A) Silva -> Özil

    B) Silva -> Sanchez

    C) Kane -> Welbeck

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

    Swansea are in a relegation dogfight, I'm going Siggy. Buttland organizes the defence and without Shawcross who is going to do that?

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

      *Butland

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      I've just sold Siggy.

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years

        Who for?

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

          A. Sanchez

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

            thats like swapping a prince for a king, cant beat that

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Swansea are no longer in a relegation dogfight.

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

        I doubt the club sees it that way, 40 pts is the safety net

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

    Please help. Who do I bench?
    Ozil Mahrez Payet Arnautovic Alli
    Lusaka Kane Kun

    1. Arn De Gothia

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

      Im on Alli at the moment. exactly the same MIDs

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

        and strikers are also the same, haha.

    3. La Vida Latte

      Alli

  20. Flynny

    Sorry. Bottomed.....any Capt advice?

    Kun

    Or

    Payet

    Thanks

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

      B

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

      Payet. Kun has burnt us so many times that I'm surprised he's even been considered esp with CTY's away form.

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

        Cheers guys...

        Just don't want to be burnt by Kun the one week I don't Capt him....

    3. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yep I'm worried about Kun suddenly going mental, banging in two or three. Bournemouth are pretty much safe now with not much to play for, City in desperate need of points. The Cherries once they concede have been known to capitulate in games, that's what worries me.

      I'm going to stick with Payet I think, you can always blame FFS members if it goes wrong.

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

    The coin chose Kun, still went with alexis

    Hi

    Im having some problem here..

    Forster, Hennessey
    Bellerin, Williams, Huth, Wols, Smith
    Ozil, Mahrez, Siggy, Firmino, Alli
    Kane, Kun, Vardy

    Im using my WC GW36 so what should i do?
    Trying to get in some DW-players.

    A) Vardy -> Welbeck
    B) Siggy -> Antonio, Lanzini, who?
    C) Williams / Wols -> Gabriel
    D) Something else??

  27. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    A) Antonio
    B) Payet

    For one gameweek. Payet seems the safe option but Antonio's explosiveness does tempt me. Who is the better pick or is either fine?

  28. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    who to play wimmer or rangel ?

    1. DeadStarComing
