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.

    Stupid Barkley giving me headaches. Don't want him but afraid not to have him
    Why couldn't he get his gf pregnant and miss out
    I remember Bale from a few years ago. Scenes on this forum.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮

      just get him in.

    2. Nomar

      I don't think you'll have much to regret by leaving him out.

    Firmino or Coutinho? Last decision for my WC team

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

      Coutinho.

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

      Just go Cout and save your team

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

    It seems a bit of a waste playing a WC & only having 2 dgwk players this week.

    Surely Bolasie & Darmian is a better bet then Lanzini & Smalling considering I'd be Benching L & S anyway?

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

      Yep.

      Next weeks choices are also blighted by the number of decent teams with a DGW34 followed by a blank GW35.

  11. Van der Faart

    Are we all captaining Trollkaku then or are we tempted by others?

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

      Daniels (C)

    2. PÍE
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'm on Lukakau, seems to be the obvious choice.
      Did half consider Coleman for a moment, but then quickly decided that would be a step too far!

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years

      Got to be Luka.

  12. #Swish41
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Hi guys

    Any gaping holes on this:

    DDG / Robles
    Bellerin / Delaney / Simpson / Gabriel / Sakho
    Sanchez / Coutinho / Payet / Lanzini / Mahrez
    Kane / Lukaku / Aguero

    That gives me 3 DGW this week, 12 next DGW and 9 for GW35 (plus to FT to get to 11)
    l
    I know I could get Barkley/Bolasie for Mahrez and Martial for Kane, but I prefer this balance going forwards (e.g. it means I have 11 for GW35)

    Any thoughts would be appreciated!!!

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      too weak at the back.. any injuries/rotation and your hit galore will start.

      1. #Swish41
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. they all seem nailed pretty much from the stats, but I will have a think

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

      Its good. Leave it alone now and enjoy the GW.

      1. #Swish41
        • 16 Years

        Thanks pal

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years

      No goalie for 35

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

        He'll have 2 FT then though, so not a problem really. He's accounted for that, I assume.

        1. #Swish41
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Yes, absolutely, thanks for checking though!

  13. Bobby_Baggio
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Morning all. Stuck on who to drop? Kun - Luk - Wickham up top so don't wanna drop them.

    Mahrez - Sanchez - KDB - Cout - Payet

    1. #Swish41
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Surely wickham

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        He's got double

        1. #Swish41
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Cpl are so impotent thought. I guess you have to play him. Toss a coin! Personally, mahrez

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Gayle might play ahead of him...

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

      Mahrez or Cout (Cout may only get around 60 mins)

  16. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I have a point here that may have been overlooked by everyone, I can't resist the punt of giving up Agüero and lennon for pelle+kdb, going against the template I think pelle can get a hall vs new and avl, though the everton match at gw34 is not the nicest but I still believe it's worth the punt..kdb on his day can match Agüero, but is he in form and fit to play gw33 and dgw having cl too ? Doing this will also clear more cash for promoting defense or midfield.

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

      kdb and aguero is fine with me tbh

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I don't have the cash to get both

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

      Pelle is a very streaky striker.

      He goes through stages where he scores for fun, then he goes cold. At that point when he goes cold you could probably play him up front against the local over 60's Walk Football team and he'd end up blanking.

  17. Pariße
    • 11 Years

    A) Bellerin & Lanzini

      This is my front 8 but have Martial instead of Mitrovic.

      Simpson for Fuchs allow better upgrades in GW35?

  21. Paul Psychic Octopus

        1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
          • 11 Years

          Haha cheers, you don't think Origi will give him competition?

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      You have to second guess Klopp whether he will start Sturbridge or Origi against Dortmund.

      With Firmino back I think he will want a stronger central striker against Dortmund, and will play Studge this weekend

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
