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.

    Repost - no replies earlier.

    LIVERPOOL FANS - how will your midfield look this GW?

    Can suspended, Henderson and Lucas injured, so Milner + Allen?

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

      Think there'll be a youngster in there with Allen. Milner further forward.

  2. Ayew Serious

    15, 10, 21, 2, 15, 13

    Mahrez's scores in the revers fixture of his remaining fixtures

      That was when they were scoring goals

    3. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I went to see how much worse his scores were for the last four 1-0's vs the reverse fixtures. Turns out he collected 3 _more_ points than for the same four games in the first half. Am glad I still own! 🙂

  3. eromalodi

    This is the WC team I'm currently settled on, would anybody change anything?

    Mignolet | Hennessey
    Smalling | Bellerin | Coleman | Sakho | Gabriel
    Sanchez | De Bruyne | Firmino | Payet | Lennon
    Aguero | Lukaku | Mitrovic

    1. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Henn to Darlow ?

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

        Playing Henn this week for the double, then all Migs.

  4. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years

    A
    Ozil and Barkley

    B
    Sanchez and Lennon

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one. Leaning toward the latter but Lennon will get substituted a lot

    2. The Nuttmxn

      • 14 Years

      B.

  5. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Thoughts on my wildcard:

    Mignolet Robles
    Rojo Simpson Sakho Bellerin Gabriel
    Coutinho KDB Sanchez Payet Lingard
    Martial Lukaku Aguero

    Will probably have Bolasie instead of Payet for 33

    Opinions much appreciated

  10. andrinho

    1. Gadonkadonk
      • 14 Years

  18. LeicesterA
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Tempted to go Lennon over Barkley to allow a much improved, less risky defence.

    What's everyone's opinion on Lennon?

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      think bolasie is far better pick

  19. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Start Mitrovic or Lanzini?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      On the same.

      Swaying towards Mitrovic as if Newcastle score it will more than likely come from him. Also on pens.

      Good luck mate

    Hi everyone !

    Who to play between :

    1) Bellerin (Whm) or Fuchs (sun)

    2 ) IWobi (Whm) or Mitrovic (south)

  24. snowman
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Which one looks better combo?

    A = Darmian, Bolasie, Barkley

    B = Rojo, Lennon, Payet

  25. No Pirlo No Party
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Play Smalling or Lingard this GW?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Other options?

    2. Big Al Stankovic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Smalling

  26. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else thinking Firminio over Coutinho? Keep hearing that Cout may not start Sunday.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Just bought Firmino after a week of indecision.

  27. The Rock
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If you could afford Clyne right now, would you have him ahead of Sakho or Lovren?

    The extra money could come in useful in 2 GW's though.

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

      Slight risk of full-back rotation with the EL matches. Lovren, Sakho & Migs all nailed in Liverpool defence.

    2. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Keep the money, bound to need it. If one of your GW35 players get injured for example.
