With Wildcard tinkering rolling on until deadline, it’s time to sidetrack to assess whether Paddy Power’s latest odds can shape any last minute strategies.

Before we scan the odds for Anytime Goalscorers and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if you’re yet to register an account with Paddy, you can claim one of several enhanced odds offers over the weekend.

This week’s European acca offers odds of 20/1 on wins for PS G (at Guingamp), Man City (vs West Brom), Barcelona (at Real Sociedad) and Juventus (at AC Milan).

Switching to Sunday’s live matches, new customers can get a beefed-up 6/1 on Leicester to maintain their relentless title charge with a win at Sunderland.

Later that day, you can choose to back Leicester’s rivals Spurs with Paddy offering 6/1 odds for a home win over Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 33

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.61
Bony MCI 2.00
Kane TOT 2.00
Pelle SOU 2.10
Austin SOU 2.10
Sturridge LIV 2.10
Iheanacho MCI 2.20
De Bruyne MCI 2.20
Giroud ARS 2.29
Sanchez ARS 2.29
Origi LIV 2.29
Firmino LIV 2.29
Lukaku EVE 2.37
Vardy LEI 2.40
Pato CHE 2.40
Toure MCY 2.50
Welbeck ARS 2.50
Long SOU 2.50
Mane SOU 2.50

Despite the fact he failed to score in four of his last six starts, Sergio Aguero (1.61) has been handed the shortest odds by some margin. Although Man City are a more dominant attacking force with Kevin De Bruyne back on the teamsheet, Aguero may just be thwarted by a West Brom defence that conceded just three goals in their previous four road ties. In response to the Sky Blues’ 4-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend, Wilfried Bony (2.00), Kelechi Iheanacho (2.20) and De Bruyne (2.20) also feature in the top echelons of Paddy’s assessment, with the bookmaker clearly backing goals for Manuel Pellegrini’s men.

Considering that he’s the league’s form frontman – having bagged six goals in four outings – it’s perhaps surprising that Harry Kane is pitched as long as 2.00 ahead of Manchester United’s visit to the Lane. Although Spurs chalked up 12 goals across their last five home encounters, the league’s top scorer is their only representative in our table.

Prior to an enticing home clash against Newcastle United, Graziano Pelle and Charlie Austin (both 2.10) place in the top five. The former has notched three goals in as many starts and will relish the prospect of facing a Magpies rearguard that’s conceded 10 goals in their last four road trips.

Daniel Sturridge is also pitched at 2.10 before Liverpool’s contest against Stoke City at Anfield. Having been rested for the Merseysiders’ Europa League meeting with Borussia Dortmund, the England striker looks well place to net for the third start in four. The Potters have just one clean sheet to their name in 10 outings, ensuring that Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino (both 2.29) also feature in the ranks.

In the wake of Arsenal’s resounding victories over Everton and Watford, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez (both 2.29) are priced keenly for a trip to West Ham United. The latter has recovered from a mid-season slump – notching two goals and three assists in four appearances – and currently ranks fifth for Fantasy Premier League “transfers in” prior to the Gameweek deadline.

While Romelu Lukaku has dominated this week’s Captain Poll ahead of his double Gameweek, Paddy have pitched him mid-table, handing him odds of 2.37 to notch anytime at Watford prior to his midweek visit to Palace.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 33

Team Odds
Manchester City 1.83
Southampton 2.10
Liverpool 2.10
Tottenham 2.37
Crystal Palace 2.50
Chelsea 2.50
Bournemouth 2.50
Leicester City 2.60
Everton 2.75
Arsenal 2.87

Man City (1.83) have conceded just once in their last four outings and are matched up against a Baggies unit that’s drawn successive blanks, prompting Paddy to grant them the shortest clean-sheet odds.

Southampton (2.10) currently place second as they prepare to host a Magpies attack that failed to score in three of their previous five away match-ups. Liverpool have now have identical odds to the Saints having come in from 2.20, although Jugen Klopp’s side will do well to silence a Stoke outfit that’s notched in every match since the beginning of February.

In the capital, Tottenham (2.37) will fancy their chances of repelling a Man United attack that’s carded three goals in four fixtures; Spurs have conceded just once in their last three league outings.

Crystal Palace and Chelsea both come in at the 2.50 mark before mid-afternoon encounters on Saturday. The Eagles haven’t recorded a shut-out in 12 outings but will face a Norwich City side that has posted blanks in four of their last five away trips. Meanwhile, the Blues pay visit to Swansea City, who have netted in all but one of their previous 13 fixtures.

Despite their two recent heavy defeats, Bournemouth are valued at 2.50 as they travel to face an Aston Villa side that is looking to avoid a fifth consecutive blank. Despite claiming four clean sheets in a row, league leaders Leicester (2.60) are handed relatively long odds for their trip to face relegation threatened Sunderland.

    Whoscored reckons Coutinho won't play!!

    1. 32chickens
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I always find who scored before the game dont get it,
      after the game i really like their stats

    2. :
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino it is then.

    3. Numb
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I think they could be right

  2. Fitzy.
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Odds on it's a let down of a DGW 🙂

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 6 months ago

      😛

      Robles, Delaney, Bolaise, Barkley, Lennon and Lukaku like this

  3. Paulie Walnuts
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all,

    Any help with this team would be much appreciated.

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Perfect

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nice mate! Maybe downgrade Clyne to Sakho and upgrade Lennon?

    3. Sjaugen
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty strong for only missing manu defense

  4. Andy1
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Play bellerin or sakho?

    1. rdamjan
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Im playing Sakho. Bellerin on bench. Payet will score I hope:)

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Playing Sakho too and benching Bellerin. Hard to see that WH wil not score. Arnautovic is injured for Stoke.

  5. Zombie
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Fu ck..took two hits last night 🙁

    That's why shouldn't go to FPL when sleepy

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 6 months ago

      😯

      who in, who out?

      1. Zombie
        10 years, 6 months ago

        KdB, Mitro

    2. Sjaugen
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hi mate that doesn't feel like the smartest moves.
      For dgw players at least?

      1. Zombie
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I am trying to remember my thought process but those two hits but I just can't - why would I remove Ozil before a DGW

    3. Punter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not always a bad thing... I swapped out Silva and Sig last night for Sanchez (whu) and Ritchie (avl) -8. I would have got nothing from Silva (injured) and probably 2 from Sig (CHE). If one of them scores I should cover the 8 and now I've got Sanchez for next weeks TC. Not ideal but I don't think it will be a disaster

      1. Zombie
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Fine with one move, just worried about selling Ozil

    4. HVT
      10 years, 6 months ago

      😆

      1. Zombie
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Oi, stop laughing!

        WC in GW36 for me, you played this week I see...

        1. HVT
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yup-gone all out to, why not?
          All jokes aside screenshot our scores and let's see how we compare, I was torn by the decision initially, then torn on Spurs/leic assets, in fact it's been the hardest WC I've ever played Z.

          1. Zombie
            10 years, 6 months ago

            I can imagine..I played around with transfers a lot - thinking of DGW33, DGW34 & GW35 as an unit - didn't like anything so scrapped the plan

            about scores - our last 4 GWs totals are exactly the same 😆

  6. Malkmus
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all. Who is best def for 4.8?
    A - Janmatt
    B - Sakho (have migs)
    C - Jevans
    D - Ward/delaney

      1. Malkmus
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Ta, u don't think double pool def is too much ?

        1. ADucksBehind
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Not with those fixtures. Sakho has looked shaky lately but Lovren has been world class

          1. Malkmus
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Ok thanks!

    2. Pino

      Late WC bandwagon?

      1. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
        10 years, 6 months ago

        it is for me 😎

    2. Sjaugen
      10 years, 6 months ago

      So basically you're gambling on Sturridge rest?

      1. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
        10 years, 6 months ago

        yep. and on Firminos more attaking accuracy Henrique compared with Coutinho

        1. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
          10 years, 6 months ago

          *Henrique = When

  8. Danstoke82

    4. Pellegrini Falcon
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Fuchs

    5. ARKANOIIDE
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Fuchs - no Kompany - stay away from City def

  9. Jafooli
    10 years, 6 months ago

    1. Play Sakho (STO) or Bellerin (whm)?

    2. Play Alli (MAN) or Martial (tot)?

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      1. Sakho
      2. difficult but probably Martial

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Axis...

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      10 years, 6 months ago

  10. TheHungryMøn ⭐
    10 years, 6 months ago

    For my first and only question this week regarding WC:

    A) Lingard + Mitrovic
    B) Bolasie/Lennon + Rashford

    1. SheBangsTheDrums
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A

  11. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Banking on an Arsenal fail in UFPL, loaned out Ozil and benched Koscielny. Any reassurance would be greatly appreciated 🙂

    1. Viper
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon it'll be a 2-2/2-3 so you're safe with Koscielny but Ozil might knick an assist

    2. tets mcgee (Ha La Land)
      10 years, 6 months ago

      westham to score first arsenal to win is usually what happens when we play em

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You'll be fine

  12. SheBangsTheDrums
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Talking of taunting, I'm still waiting for Jafalad to explain why he thinks GW32 Wildcarders are idiots.

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      10 years, 6 months ago

      really? i think it's all panned out pretty well for those that took the plunge

      1. Diva
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I think it's too early to tell yet.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 6 months ago

          OK, Zhou Enlai ... 😉

    2. Paulie Walnuts
      10 years, 6 months ago

      "Because I said so" will be the answer

    Dier, Azpi, Bellerin, Fuchs
    Mahrez, Alli, Barkley,
    Ayoze (dont ask), Kane, Aguero

    Adrian, Antonio, Arny, Williams 0FT £5.7M ITB

    Am I gtg or would you be tempted to take a hit somewhere?

    1. Viper
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't be wasting a striker spot on Ayoze

  15. Jafooli
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Barkley in the hole now Barry is back?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That's what I'm praying for......

    2. Numb
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm convinced that he and Dann are going to get massive scores these next two weeks

      1. HVT
        10 years, 6 months ago

        *lennon/Delaney 😉

  16. JoeJitzu +42

    RMWCT Take Two

    Hart - Robles
    Sakho - Smalling - Bellerin - Gabriel - Delaney

    Lukaku - Aguero - Mitrovic

    GW 33 - 4DGW
    GW 34 - 15DGW
    GW 35 - 9 players (but 2FT)
    GW 36 - 11 players
    GW 37 - 11DGW

  17. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I'd be all over Guy Demel for the DGW if he was still with West Ham purely for the excitement

  18. 32chickens
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Mbokoni-bought goal minutes at 15 on the spread-up against the cartoon capers that is the palace defence-get on

      I recognise all these words but...

  19. Viper
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A. Lanzini & Smalling ( Benching both this week )

    B. Bolasie & Darmian ( Bolasie - > Milner in gwk 34 ) Benching Darmian & Mitrovic.

  21. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go? Am I right to bench Bellerin?

    Robles
    Sakho, Simpson, Smalling
    Bolasie, Lennon, Sanchez, Payet, Coutinho
    Aguero, Lukaku (c)

    Darlow, Martial, Bellerin, Gabriel

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm playing Bellerin over Smalling?!

      1. Darth_Newdar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 6 months ago

        More attacking threat, but I think West Ham will score. Man United might keep a clean sheet?

        1. JoeJitzu +42
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe but Spurs gotta go for it. It's a tough call!

  22. Tinmen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Folks, which is the better option?

    A) Jags, Moreno, Payet

    what are peoples current thoughts on the Firmino vs Coutinho debate?

    1. Numb
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Most seem to be gong with Coutinho

      1. Numb
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Gong?

    2. PÍE
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I've gone for both.

  27. FPL ElasticO
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is too risky to go with 2 Palace defenders.

    Dann & Henn

    1. Tronity
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Some would say it is too risky to go with 1!

    2. PÍE
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Well I wouldn't do it, but at least 1 is a GK.

    3. Lumberjack
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm avoiding palace I think, 1 max with the tough GW34

  28. FPL ElasticO
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Have Henn, Jags & Dann in defence?? Will I change Jags for others??

  29. Lumberjack
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Really struggling to decide, I'd welcome thoughts:

    A - GW33 WC, 99 players games until the end of the season without hits, Payet TC in GW37

    B - GW36 WC, 96 players games until the end of the season without hits, Sanchez TC in GW36

    Does the Sanchez TC and knowing who's still fighting for points in GW37 make up for the 3 fewer games??

  30. EWH2020
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A) Lennon and Bolasie
    B) Firmino and Lingard

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A this GW
      B next 🙂
