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.

ManeSOU2.50

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

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.

          Most people are going clichy as kompany is expected back next week , spelling the end of mangala. That and oto is too expensive for most

    2. ollycee

      I've got Clichy at the minute. Seems less prone to rotation than Sagna.

      No GK in 35 assuming no hits

  3. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) DDG and Simpson
    B) Darlow and Smalling

    Having DDG will mean no GK in GW35.

    Morning guys.

    What do u reckon of this wcteam:

    robles/darlow
    Smalling/Simpson/sakho/gabriel/?
    Kdb/lanzini/coutinho/sanchez/bolasie
    Kun/lukaku/?

    In doubt wether to have

    A) rashford&bellerin
    B) martial&lovren

    1. Odikostar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can you afford Smalling>Darmian and Martial and bellerin?

      1. Big Al Stankovic
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No. But I could Smalling to Rojo instead?

  6. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can someone please clear my head?
    Lovren plays RCB and is maybe at risk from Skrtel who also plays RCB.
    So does this make Sakho more nailed?
    Thanks.

    1. Green_street
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. He was MoM against Dortmund

    2. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pool forums seem to have Lovren playing this week but many not picking Sakho

    4. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I did, but I sort of wish I'd gone with Alexis.

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm thinking both.

    5. Miro

    With Rooney out is Rashford nailed for dgw?

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney back this weekend. Rashford could still be nailed with Rooney playing No 10 . But risky

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No hes not back yet

        1. Mahesh_Kumar
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He is playing for U21s on Monday or Tuesday. LvG said so

          1. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Well that's not this weekend

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney should be back

      1. Green_street
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He missed the u21 against Chelsea. Even though he is not match fit?

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney has a u21 runout on Monday. Should make bench for the dgw. Maybe even start the second. Having said that...im still going with rashford

      1. Green_street
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Let's hope so.

    4. Tinmen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      How do you know Rooney isn't back for the DGW?

  9. FantasyFS007
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT lads, please rip apart if need be!

    Robles | Darlow
    Bellerin | Smalling | Gabriel | Sakho | Simpson
    Sanchez | Coutinho | Payet | Lennon | Lanzini
    Kun | Lukaku | Martial

    £0.1 ITB

  10. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    For those going with Robles, do you really want a Everton GK as first choice Gk for rest of the season, and if he is not your first choice then wouldnt it be better to get an everton defender so you can use for the DGWs and bench in between accordingly.

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Liverpool forums predicting a lot of dropped players etc this week

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino/Coutinho?

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Doubt there will be that much change.

  12. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Folks, which option is better?

    A) Monreal, Mangala, Bolasie, Lanzini
    B) Jags, Moreno, Lingard, Payet

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

      B - with Lanzini

  13. BadgersBoys
    • 12 Years

    With an OR of top 5K, do you think it is realistic to break top 1k after GW34/35?

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      Certainly.

      Two questions!

      B) Milner + Deeney or Mitrovic + Lennon?

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

        The latter

        1. FPL Emu
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah ... I guess. Lennon just seems like such a dud. Good average points over the last few though

      2. Big Al Stankovic

        If I want to play my wildcard next GW, who should I get in now with 1 FT?

        Barkley and Lukaku for -4?
