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

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.

  5. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley or Mahrez?
    Best option for this GW?

    1. PÍE
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkely with his 2 vs 1 I'd say.

    2. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley - doesnt score, is placed deep, Mahrez - can go nuts vs SUN, high ownership

      1. PÍE
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, but with Barry back, is Barkely not going to be playing further fwd?

    3. Malkmus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If on wc then Lanzini and then use the extra cash. I don't trust Barkley so prob mahrez if no wc

    4. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years

      Simpson

    3. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys! Think that Sunderland could nick a goal and go for 1 point

  10. rl248
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Barkley and Martial
    B) Payet and Mitrovic

      B

  11. commonsns
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So I might have lost the plot a little:

    On WC - want to keep both KDB and Aguero, sooo...

    A) Defoe

    B) Deeney

    1. rl248
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Defoe, since they've got something to play for.

    2. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney, then transfer to Defoe in 35?

      1. commonsns
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks both.

  12. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A: Lanzini, KdB, Mitrovic
    B: Lennon, Firmino, Martial

    This is what my WC has come down to....

    1. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B, KDB will be rotated and upset a lot of people!

    2. commonsns
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer B..

  13. Whats the Huth

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

  14. Evasivo

    Right bench and order guys??!

    Migs
    Fuchs Delaney Jagielka
    KDB Coutinho Sanchez Barkley(vc)
    Aguero Lukaku(C) Mitrovic

    Darlow Lanzini Sakho Gabriel

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes although I'd probably play Lanzini over Mitrovic

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Okay, thanks Mister. Is that cos of his potential lack of minutes or u favour Lanzini?

  15. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Guys which one
    A) Firmino
    B) Coutinho

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Flip a coin

  16. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more nailed?

    A) Coutinho

    B) Firmino

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both as likely as each other

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        which is how likely?

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I think they both have an 80% chance of playing.

          Maybe Firmino is slightly higher because he didn't play vs. Dortmund

  17. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So who is going to be the player that lots of people ignore this week & then have to reshuffle their team in 34 after a big haul.

    Ozil? Martial? Mata? Firmino?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not me. Saving my WC

    2. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i think its gonna be Kane for me......but im still not going with him

  18. Feeling_blue
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Payet or Mitrovic? Benching Bellerin and Gabriel atm too

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro

  19. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Aguero triple today?

    I'm in a ML where we can't triple a dgw player .

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Should've tripled in a plum fixture then. Like city vs villa

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

        Was saving it....not sure why.

        Today is as good a day as any, right?

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          May as well, city have attacking form back and brom are conceding goals

      1. ARKANOIIDE

      2. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ask again next week.

        Could be as good a bet as any!

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

        Gw 37 will be unpredictable in terms of rotations, so I decided to tc now :p

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          me here

    6. Meinhoff

      I'm done with this. My head hurts

      Robles | Darlow
      Smalling | Lovren | Monreal | Reid | Ward (Gabriel gw34)
      Sanchez | Payet | Coutinho | Lingard | Mahrez
      Aguero | Lukaku | Kane

      Is it okay?

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

        Looks good. If arsenal keeps both clean sheets you are in business.

    7. keotes
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Which combo is better?
      A) Dann + Lennon
      B) Jagielka + Bolasie

      1. Skullslasher

      B Lanzini

      1. ollycee
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm having to make the same decision, keep switching. Currently benching Lanzini. Just not a fan of early games!

      2. Skullslasher
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I would bench Martial

    9. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lennon or McCarthy?

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lennon

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          On him at the moment, maybe I'll just let it be.

      2. Skullslasher
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lenon but scared about his minutes

    10. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Morning all.

      Chances of Moreno starting today?

      1. George James
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think he will start. But then get rotated on DGW

        1. BadgersBoys
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks. Highly likely for both scenarios.

      2. Skullslasher
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think he will play both dgw.

    11. George James
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Which midfield combo is better?

      Already have Sanchez.

      A) coutinho - KDB - Lanzini - Lennon

      B) Firminio - Payet - Iwobi - Barkley

      First 3 I will go with.

      Thank in advance

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        A

    12. ollycee
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A/. Clichy
      B/. Second Man Utd Def - Darmian / Rojo (already have Smalling)
