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.

    Genuinely cannot decide between Coutinho and Firmino

    1. Evasivo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I've been on Coutinho all week. Just changed to Firmino

      1. 42 Rules
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Difficult choice - is Firminho on pens now Hendo out ?

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Cout safe. Firmino better imo

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        If I knew they would both start both games, I would pick Firmino

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Firmino will start for sure against Stoke

          1. Give The Todd Some Love
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Just changed. I hope you're right...

      2. Odikostar

        this

    3. Gregor

      Coutinho.

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I've gone neither...easiest way to settle it.

    5. keotes
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Get both 🙂

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Believe me, I've tried. Need Payet though

        1. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          against ars lei and WAT?

          1. Sjaugen
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Home against gunners!

          2. Give The Todd Some Love
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Never doubt Payet

      2. siweltrebor87
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I'm waiting a week, see who performs this week and then add in that player for next week, simple as that.
        Coutinho is in better form but Firmino needs to properly return.

        I'm leaning towards Firmino if they are both fully fit and in form.

    6. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Milner or bust

    7. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino all day long

  2. Evasivo
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Best Leicester defender? Fuchs is obviously the one, but surely Simpson good to save cash??

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Simpson.

  3. Mytteristen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    A couple of things I'm torn about:

    1. Gabriel is in pretty much every draft I've seen. How nailed on do we think he is for the trio of matches GW34/35 in just a week?

    2. I know Özil has been bad since the new year, but this spell must surely be his chance to get his act together. I thought he looked pretty good and playful against Watford.

    So basically: Özil & Sanchez double-up? Or KDB and Gabriel?

  4. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Last hour ramblings

    - Mitrovic is shiete and plays in poor team
    - Martial will score atleast 3 goals in dgw34
    - ManU def is a must have
    - Anything less than 4 dgw33 player is a red arrow

    1. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'm quite happy to take a hit to get at least 11 dgw players next week, think i have 7 as it stands.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        15 here 🙂
        prob still get a red 🙁

    2. Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      4 dgw33 players? How many do you have playing on 35 without taking a hit?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        14

        1. Nespinha
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Then youre gw34 is for TC for sure

      2. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I have 4dgw player this week and can field 11 in 35 without a hit

        1. siweltrebor87
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          four seems like one too many.

          I don't trust either defence. I've always had Henn as he's a cheap option.
          Lukaku is nailed on and I added Lennon due to low/ish price and recently fairly good points return.

          1. Nespinha
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Same.

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      he played in a shiete team last week too..
      Believe it when i see it
      Agreed
      No no no. Palace and Everton are both pretty poor

  5. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I really hope Kane makes some of you cry in your cereal on Monday!

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I don't eat cereal. In your face!!!

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years

      Tears of joy?

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      you're a nice person

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    worried coutinho kdb gabriel won't start

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not. Merte might start due to Wh set piece threat but will bench Gabriel

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        same, benched

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      no Goldberg 🙁
      shocked at that.

  7. Raheem's perm
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Any Pool fans on here? Looking like Coutinho will be rested and Firmino will start today. Is that likely to happen?

    1. :
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Distinct possibility. Firmino starts to build up fitness and Coutinho gets a rest before the Dortmund game makes some sense.

      1. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Why thank you!!

  8. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    WC team!
    This might sound STRANGE to everyone, but in our mini-league we don´t copy players so the team might be weird.

    Robles, Darlow
    Gabriel, Sakho, Lovren/Moreno, Morgan, Delaney
    KDB, Sanchez, Payet, Lanzini, Lennon
    Aguero, Martial, Defoe

    0,8/1,0£ in bank. If I do NO TRANSFERS i´ll have the following:

    GW33) 3xDGW
    GW34) 12xDGW
    GW35) 9 playing
    GW36) No worries
    GW37) 8xDGW

    Any opinions please?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      You should get Lukaku.

      Also

      Lovren

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        If I put Lovren i won't enable the Lennon --- Milner later on.

  9. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Try again!
    Bottomed

    RmWC. Besides no GK what could be better?

    Robles DDG
    Bellerin Clichy Sakho Simpson Gabriel
    Sanchez Firmino Lennon Payet Mahrez
    Kun Lukaku Mitro

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone??!!

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I like it. A KDB haul this week could make to rethink it all 😉

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        He is my worry but I'd have to ditch Mahrez for him AND Firmino

    3. Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Is Clichy nailed?

    4. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Good team. Only worry would be Clichy's game time.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

    5. magnetsbitch
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      u wont have a GK for gw35

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I don't mind 🙂

  10. All de Gea
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who is the better Triple Captain choice...

    Lukaku this week (wat / cpl)

    Vs.

    Martial next week (AVL / CPL)

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez next GW

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        this

    2. Still Unsure
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Martial for me

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Martial

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Martial by miles. Sanchez in 34 is my favourite though.

    5. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Martial

    6. All de Gea
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all... Ok im ditching Lukaku as triple. Will gamble on Martial.

  11. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Repost
    A. Lanzini + Smalling
    Or
    B. Lennon + Damian
    (Have Payet)
    Really tempted by Lennon but not sure if Darmian is worth the risk.

    1. Alonso's Ball
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A easy

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers!

  12. ARKANOIIDE
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho - KDB - Mahrez - Sanchez - Payet
    Kun - Lukaku

    IF you would NOT (C) Kaku, and go crazy, who would you give the armband?

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Is this the Mahrez GW? 🙂

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Kun

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero

  13. Rodgers's CHARACTER
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Alli or Lanzini

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Lanz

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Lanzini

  14. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    We'll ket this be the official vote 😉

    Are you choosing Coutinho or Firmino?

    1. Lumberjack
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Couts

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I just swapped to Firmino

    3. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      coutinho

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Both.

      Coutinho if one.

    5. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho

    6. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino

    7. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Neither. The uncertainty has tipped me in favour a punt on Bolaise this week. Am leaving enough itb to transfer either Coutinho or Firmino after assessing their performances (or lack of) this GW.

    8. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho

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

      I'm currently flipping, and landing on Firm

    10. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Bobby F.

  15. Calculated Risks
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one: Ozil, Firmino, Coutinho, Payet, Welbeck.

    1. Aiders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Payet

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Never this.
        I say ozil/coutinho

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck

    4. Calculated Risks
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I was siding with Welbeck...think I may stick, thanks for replies

  16. Lumberjack
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    WC Team, any obvious flaws?

    DDG/ Migs
    Lovren/ Darmian/ Gabriel/ Bellerin/ Clichy
    Bolasie/ Couts/ Sanchez/ Lennon/ Barkley
    Kun/ Martial/ Lukaku

    Leaves me one short for GW35 but will probably take a hit for that...

    1. Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Those GK are way too expensive!!

      Have you made calculations for gw35? to see if you can get 11 players?

      1. Lumberjack
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I've got 10 for GW35 with my FTs. Is Migs to Robles better do you think?

        1. Nespinha
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          For sure. (but for that you have to take one from everton)
          I wouldn't bet so much on this gw and have more in other gws.

          I have (with 0 transfers from now):
          GW33) 3xDGW
          GW34) 12xDGW
          GW35) 9 playing
          GW36) No worries
          GW37) 8xDGW

  17. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    WC team:
    Good to go?

    Robles Cech
    VvD Delaney Simpson Bellerin Sakho
    Lennon Sanchez Payet Cout Mahrez

    1. sk018
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Would probably start Mitrovic due to his explosive potential
