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.

    wickham or gayle??!

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

      Gayle since he was talked up, but if you are 100% sure Whickam will play he is the option. On pens too

  2. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Totally dismantled a very good team. 150k OR actually 10k gw rank last wk. Sold Kane,mahrez, Payet ( omg) now own kdb, Bellerin, Smalling, martial guys iv nvr owned.
    2 nd in two MLS few points behind in both for 1ooo euro.

    Either im a complete genius aftr these nxt 6/7 games or one of the biggest fools in FPL history.

    Good luck all.

    1. Odikostar

      1000 euro? How many are i each league?

    Any last minute panic setting in?

    Starting to get worried about Mitrovic minutes. Would love Martial but can't fit him in that easily.

    KDB to Payet causes problems. Already have plans for Bolasie to Milner so that takes up all my Liverpool spots.

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

      Already feel like I've thrown away a great team and ruined my season. More depression than panic.

    2. NissA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Panic was there, was with me all night, and it's still here. Fearing the lack of KdB, Mitrovic outscoring Martial despite their plum fixtures, Clichy getting rotated, Delaney getting a minus score, and only being able to upgrade Ballsy to Milner and not Firmino next week.

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mitrovic will surely play, I have him benched this week and if he doesn't start plan b can come in and I'll have to find the funds to get martial

    4. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That choice between Firminio and Coutinho arg

    5. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Plenty of panic here, starting to question my decision to keep Kane and Mahrez!

      A. Kane, Mahrez and Coutinho
      B. KDB, Lanzini and Sturridge (-4)

      I just don't know any more!

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I like B but I've got DGW fever. If you chose B do you have a decent 35 team though?

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Would lead to one extra 4 pointer included above to get out 11.

          2 City, 3 Arsenal, 2 Liverpool plus 2 Spurs transferred in forms the basis of a strong GW35 side, even if the likes of Darlow are needed to make up the numbers!

    6. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes 🙂 . I desperately want a United defender

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        DDG or bust imo.

      2. NissA
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        DDG here, cheaper than Smalling. Though I'm getting Robles and not Darlow.

    7. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Worried about Coutinho, wouldn't worry about Mitrovic, as a Toon I know we have no other game plan now.

    8. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I would try to fit martial in there. Not sure if newcastle can keep their motivation up after their loss to norwich

    9. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mitro gonna play given his form and their survival hope... also penalty taker.. stats also good..

    10. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Getting Milner will end in tears. YC confirmed in derby and possible send off

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

    Darlow Robles

    Koscielny Gabriel Sakho Smalling ***

    Payet Sanchez Coutinho *** Lennon

    Aguero Lukaku ***

    So its :

    A) Delaney + KDB +Mitro
    B)Clichy + Firmino + Martial

    Worrying thing with B is I will have 1 playing Forward in GW35 and nobody I wonna get in for Martial in that week.

    Any advice would help

  10. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Should I play Alli instead of Payet since I'm playing Bellerin? Kind of contradictory

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

      I'm playing Payet + Bellerin, benching Alli

      Don't usually like doing it, but too risky to bench either IMO.

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd bench Bellerin if you can. Fairly sure Wham will score.

  11. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Delaney or Ward

    Firmino or Coutinho

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Del Firm

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

      Depends how much cash you have free. I cant afford Dann. I've picked Coutinho over Firmino

  12. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    5.3 for a city defender - Mangala the option since Kompany won't be back for a bit?

    Or Clichy? Despite Kolarovs goal...

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

    Double on Leicester defence or play Bellerin?

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Bellerin.

  14. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Best 3rd option for the forward slot if wildcarding? I keep Kun and Lukaku.

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

      Martial

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

    How safe is Moreno pick ?

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

      As houses.

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Think the general consensus on here is that Sakho is more nailed on

  16. FPL_Sponge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Daniels and Bolaise in on my WC?
    (Both out next week for Sakho and Coutinho/Firmino)

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

    Martial or Mitrovic ?
    Martial has better games next week but Mitrovic is playing GW35

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

      I'm getting Martial in on my WC for GW34 and transfering out for Mitrovic for GW35

    2. NissA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Martial has two fantastic features in gw 34

  18. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Will try again! 🙂

    A) KdB, Darmian and Sakho (already have Lovren)
    OR
    B) Coutinho, Smalling and Coleman (Already have Firmino and Robles)

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

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

      B but why coleman?

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

        Just a punt. Already have Bellerín, Smalling, Gabriel and Lovren.

      Just transferred him out for Bolaise on my WC, so would be nice if this becomes true!

    5. CABAYE4

      They also seem certain that some lad called Stewart is going to start having never started before and made one bench app.
