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.

    Any thoughts?

    Robles Mignolet
    Bellerin Lovren Rojo Delaney Gabriel
    Barkley Firmino Ozil Payet Mahrez
    Aguero Lukaku Mitrovic

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rojo is a risk
      I personally think delany is a poor choice can't see him scoring much points over both doubles

      1. siweltrebor87
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        rojo never does a full 90 or rarely does and I quite like the guy but LVG runs him about and then chucks him when he starts to slow down.

        1. Samwise the Brave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I like him to as a utd fan, but alas this is fantasy and we can't have a defender that is at risk of only playing 45

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      yes, why do people sneeze when they go into a bright light?

        Never noticed that before.

        Will have to pay attention next time a bright light comes around.

          it's a photic sneeze.
          Affects between 30% and 50% of the population of the UK. Weird innit?

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      1. notmarkhughes
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Im considering drafting him in this week, then back to Mitrovic. Could waste a FT though

    3. Give The Todd Some Love

      He's an awful player playing for an awful team, and he might not start because of Gayle

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

      The only reason I'm not, Two away games in a row and isn't on the same electric form as earlier in the season. Still a safe choice for Captain but I'm saving the triple with a few guys in mind for that one either in 34 or 37.

  11. DD DUBAI

      I see a lot of discussion about Coutinho being benched and Liverpool having nothing to play for, but would Liverpool-supporters not want Europa League next season?

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years

        It's just the usual bollox. Coutinho will play.

          That sounds so wrong.

          Not innuendo wise, just the fact that people are shipping Kane yet buying up Pelle!

        Its GW35 that messes you up because you can't just go out, WC and get a team full of DGW'ers and be happy to play them next week.

        You have to factor it so that you have enough starting in GW35 that your team isn't decimated or having to take multiple points hits to put out a semi decent team in GW35.

        Are Lovren Sakho not fairly nailed on as the two centre backs ? Trying to decide between both or 1 plus Clyne

          Sakho more nailed as Skrtel could take Lovren's place
