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.

    Final tinkering, very worried about Man City fixture list if and when they get to semis in CL.

    My team:

    DDG/Robles
    Bellerin/Gabriel/Sakho/Fuchs/???
    Sanchez/Coutinho/Lanzini/???/???
    Aguero/Lukaku/Martial

    Option A) KDB + Lennon + max 4.7m defender (who? Simpson? Morgan? Delaney? PVA?)¨
    Option B) Firmino + Barkley + max 5.4m defender (Darmian? Someone cheaper?)

    I'm leaning towards doubling up with Liverpool mids, since KDB will most likely be rested for GW35 and no quarantee for this week either.

  3. Emp
    • 14 Years

    A) Otamendi and rashford

      I see the logic I really do

      I'd choose B, far better option even though Kane only has one game in 34.

  7. Arteta
    • 10 Years

    Which one looks better?
    1)
    Mignolet - Robles
    Darmian - Smalling - Gabriel - Sakho - Simpson
    Özil - Alexis - Payet - Coutinho - Lanzini
    Agüero - Lukaku - Deeney

    2)
    Darlow - Robles

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

      Hmmm a few tweeks and i would go with A. Why not pick up Mitro and downgrade Darmian to Delaney?

  8. Luttte ouvriere
    • 12 Years

    Lovren or Sakho?
    thx!

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

      I've gone Sakho because of price, think both are equally nailed so nothing in it really

  9. mozza
    • 15 Years

    Lots of last minute Coutinho to Firm... Hmmm

  10. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years

    Is anyone thinking Milner over Cou/Fir as differential. On the spot kicks also I assume?

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

      Cou+Milner for me.

    God... last minute tinkers... Decided to go KDBless anyways. low ownership wont hurt me as much, if he scores 100 points so be it.

    Mignolet / Robles
    Smalling / Bellerin / Gabriel / Simpson / DANN (1 gw punt)
    Sanchez / Cout / Firmino / Payet / Bolasie
    Kun / Lukaku / Martial

    .4 ITB. Will ship Dann for gw 34 to someone with a game in 35.

    Thoughts?

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

      I'm considering going Payetless and getting in Firmino

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

        Cant do it... Just cant 🙁

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

          Don't think I can either tbh

    2. Sepp Blattered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      How did you get rid of Kane! I jut can't do it for Mitrovic

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

        Cant for mitro, but for AVL CPL i have to. If i dont i will hate myself for it. Thats the only reason.

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

          Team looks good though Kane may hurt you. For your advice, which combo do you prefer fornext 3 GWs

          A) Mangala, Lingard, Barkley, Kane
          B) Sakho, KDB, Lennon, M

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

            Oh i know Kane WILL HURT, but have to take it on the chin.

            Well i wouldnt pick first 3 in A at all. Not sure about KDB's minutes hence me dropping him this morning...
            I would honestly avoid Mangala,Lingard, Barkley, KDB.

            So, Lennon sakho and Kane great picks. Fit the last player in and you are golden

  13. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Taking account of 33 34 35.. Would you

  14. BadgersBoys

  27. BigCasher
    • 11 Years

    My last WC team:

    Robles - Darlow
    Gabriel - Simpson - Delaney - Sakho - Bellerin
    Sanchez - Payet - Coutinho - KDB - Lennon
    Aguero - Martial - Lukaku

    0.2 ITB

    GW 35: Delaney -> Azpi and Martial to Defoe
    GW 37: Simpson -> PVA and KDB -> Firmino ( Aguero to Costa for a hit )

    Any suggestions for improvement? Considering Firmino right away that give me Smalling instead of Simpson but then i need a hit to field 11 in GW 35.

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

      I`ll take that sound of silence as this is the perfect team and plan 😛

    2. butt0n1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Our teams are almost identical and I am leaning towards KDB & Simpson. GW35 you need a hit and I would not play Smalling this week versus I would play Simpson so actually there is 3 games for Simpson and 2 games for Smalling in next 3 GW with that benching.

      Also imo KDB has better fixture and is more nailed this GW.
