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.

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.

Southampton2.10
Liverpool2.10
Tottenham2.37
Crystal Palace2.50
Chelsea2.50
Bournemouth2.50
Leicester City2.60
Everton2.75
Arsenal2.87

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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    2. :
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino it is then.

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years

      I think they could be right

  2. Fitzy.

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

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      😛

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

    Hi all,

    Any help with this team would be much appreciated.

      Perfect

    2. SheBangsTheDrums

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

    3. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty strong for only missing manu defense

  4. Andy1
    • 16 Years

    Play bellerin or sakho?

    1. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

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

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

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

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

      1. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 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
      9 years, 8 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
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Fine with one move, just worried about selling Ozil

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 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

          • 14 Years

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

    For my first and only question this week regarding WC:

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

    1. SheBangsTheDrums

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

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

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 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)

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

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

      Most seem to be gong with Coutinho

        Gong?

      I've gone for both.

    Is too risky to go with 2 Palace defenders.

    Dann & Henn

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

    2. PÍE

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

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

  28. FPL ElasticO

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

    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??

    A) Lennon and Bolasie
    B) Firmino and Lingard
