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.

    My thinking for wildcarders is you should have no more than 4 outfield players who blank in GW35.

    Obviously Payet and Lukaku each have to take a spot. So that leaves two spots. A Man Utd defender feels essential for the DGW, and it's no good covering that with De Gea because the only keepers with good fixtures in GW35 are expensive, so you may as well have Hart, Cech or Mignolet as your expensive keeper. De Gea also has a poor fixture this week, and anyone with a good fixture is either expensive or also blanks in GW35. So another spot seems to need to go to a Utd defender.

    That leaves one spot. Now considering Martial has Villa and Palace at home next week, Barkley is very off form and Lennon has terrible underlying stats and is a rotation risk. I just can't seem to justify including Lennon or Barkley in a wildcard team over the likes of Martial. Especially when I could double up on Firmino and Coutinho, who have just as many games across the next 3 GW's and in better fixtures. My only concern being the EL return leg.

    Opinions on this?

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Stop overthinking.

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

      Agree totally

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Lot of thought gone into it & all valid points.

      However Barkley or Lennon just needs to score & it all goes out the window. Just back yourself

    4. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Well I'm having all of the above.

      Lennon+Martial+Coutinho+Firmino+Smalling.

      It means I only have 10 in 35, but I'm okey dokey with that as i might do a -4 if required.

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

      I actually pretty much agree with you on that one.

      Same logic in choosing Mignolet.
      I have Payet and Lukaku.

      I'm shopping for a United defender next week. Also choosing my Liverpool midfielder after seeing how they do this weekend.

      I'm probably keeping Kane but playing a 3, 5, 2 in double gameweek as it stands.

  8. Rhinos
    • 12 Years

    Bolasie triple cap, who's with me?

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

      Not even Bolasie.

    3. NissA
      • 13 Years

      Triple Crap more like it.

  9. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    THE question for is go with Kane or go with KdB?

    1. TheCurseOfRaheem
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      kdb.

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

      Kane this week, KDB maybe next

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

        Wish it was that easy to make that transfer without taking a hit

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

      KDB

  10. Nolberto Solano
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    G2G?

    De Gea Robles

    Smalling Bellerin Clyne Gabriel Simpson

    Sanchez Payet Coutinho Mahrez Lanzini

    Aguero Lukaku Mitrovic

    1. Aarono23
      • 10 Years

      Keeper for GW 35?

      1. Nolberto Solano
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Don't mind not having one. Man Utd could be in line for two clean sheets for the double.

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Which one would you start today?

    Ighalo, Yaya, Austin

    Only Ighalo is sure to start but the other two have great fixtures 😕

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

      Definitely not Austin.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Stop wasting precious space!

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        Eh?

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

      Austin

  12. tatjana78
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one:

    Azpilicuetta, Alderweirld, Bellerin

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

      Tough one - possibly Bellerin but he's got attacking potential
