With Wildcard tinkering rolling on until deadline, itโ€™s time to sidetrack to assess whether Paddy Powerโ€™s latest odds can shape any last minute strategies.

Before we scan the odds for Anytime Goalscorers and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if youโ€™re yet to register an account with Paddy, you can claim one of several enhanced odds offers over the weekend.

This weekโ€™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 Sundayโ€™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 Leicesterโ€™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 youโ€™re going to wager, always gamble responsibly.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS โ€“ 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 Bluesโ€™ 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 Paddyโ€™s assessment, with the bookmaker clearly backing goals for Manuel Pellegriniโ€™s men.

Considering that heโ€™s the leagueโ€™s form frontman โ€“ having bagged six goals in four outings โ€“ itโ€™s perhaps surprising that Harry Kane is pitched as long as 2.00 ahead of Manchester Unitedโ€™s visit to the Lane. Although Spurs chalked up 12 goals across their last five home encounters, the leagueโ€™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 thatโ€™s conceded 10 goals in their last four road trips.

Daniel Sturridge is also pitched at 2.10 before Liverpoolโ€™s contest against Stoke City at Anfield. Having been rested for the Merseysidersโ€™ 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 Arsenalโ€™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 โ€“ notching two goals and three assists in four appearances โ€“ and currently ranks fifth for Fantasy Premier League โ€œtransfers inโ€ prior to the Gameweek deadline.

While Romelu Lukaku has dominated this weekโ€™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 โ€“ 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 thatโ€™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 Kloppโ€™s side will do well to silence a Stoke outfit thatโ€™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 thatโ€™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 havenโ€™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.

    Last Question of the day

    Coutinho or Firmino

    1. Sid07
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho......

    2. eromalodi
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I would go with Firmino & I have a hunch Coutinho will be on the bench this weekend.

    3. Odikostar
      10 years, 6 months ago

      firmino because of his form before injury

    4. Vedas
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino

  2. Reddonkeyham 42
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Hennessey
    Fuchs Alderwield jagielka
    Mahrez bolasie Payet Ozil
    Lukaku(c)/Vardy Aguero

    Wildcarding next week. G2G?

  3. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
    10 years, 6 months ago

    rojo is now a no go?

    1. SweeSwee
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Been a no go all week

    2. how now brown cow
      10 years, 6 months ago

      no jo

  4. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Must have midfielders in their order:

    Sanchez
    KdB
    Payet
    Coutinho
    Firmino
    Barkley
    Lanzini
    Bolaise
    Lennon

    1. SweeSwee
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Payet > Lanzini is quite a popular enabler, it's good LanIni is a must have then.

    2. kalmoffit
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ozil is so out of the loop, now.

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 6 months ago

      KDB is not a must have. Neither is Cout and the DGW33 guys are nice to haves for DGW33.

  5. Tinmen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Folks, which option is better?
    Struggling big time

    A) Monreal, Mangala, Bolasie, Lanzini
    B) Jags, Moreno, Lingard, Payet

  6. McQueen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    "We will see which players have recovered better and we will see which one of them can repeat." Pellegrini

    KDB starts right?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Silva out, so KDB very likely to start IMO

      1. McQueen
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers mate.

  7. ymx
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Simpson vs Morgan!?!

    1. McQueen
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Simpson, cheaper.

    2. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
      10 years, 6 months ago

      simpson

    3. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Simpson

  8. Sjaugen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else really teared between Coutinho and Firminio?

    1. Nomar
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If Sturridge is fit I think Cout is the better option.

      If Sturridge gets crocked tomorrow then Firmino is the one.

    2. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
      10 years, 6 months ago

      yes now that firmino has better odds than coutinho for scoring

      coutinho not even on the list

    3. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Major dilemma for me..

  9. Nomar
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who scores more ths week, Simpson or Siggy?

    Seriously thinking of going 4-3-3 and playing Simpson instead of Siggy.

    1. Murph1
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tough one but I'd go Siggy. Can see this being an open game.

      1. Nomar
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Murph. That's what I've got at the moment.

  10. Skogen89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    WC team, good to go?

    Robbles \ Darlow

    Smalling \ Dann \ Bellerin \ Gabriel \ Sakho

    Payet \ Coutinho \ Firmino \ Sanchez \ Lanzini

    Lukaku \ Aguero \ Mitrovic

    Where do i need to improove my team, if i do?

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You spelt KDB wrong.

    2. Aiders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Good to go, provided you have a plan to get 11 out GW35

    3. Nomar
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I don't really understand questions like this one.

      Clearly you've wildcarded to get a team of DGW'ers within your budget. That's what you've done.

      So, unless you have bundles of cash in the bank still then haven't you already done what you set out to achieve?

      You could improve it by getting rid of Mit and getting a decent keeper but that would then force you to change your midfield.

      Your work is done, relax and enjoy the GW.

  11. Sid07
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any changes required??

    Robles darlow
    Smalling bellerin sakho gabriel Simpson
    De buryne sanchez payet coutinho lazini
    Aguero lukaku mitrovic
    0.4 itb

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Very good team!

      But your Goalkeepers probably won't give you many points

      1. Sid07
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes was consedring
        De gea + jagielka vs Robles + smalling.
        Went with latter

  12. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Like Mark wrote couple of gws weeks ago in his preamble. This is the first part of the huge twister of ffs managers that will oust those non BB/wildcard/TC managers from top10K ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    1. Sid07
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ya but gw 34 can be so unpredictable.....
      Sgw players like Kane mahrez might outscore likes of martial mitrovic ..

  13. 8ball
    10 years, 6 months ago

    gtg?

    ddg/robles
    bellerin, gabriel, simpson, darmian, sakho
    sanchez, kdb, lanzini, coutinho, lennon,
    kun, kane, martial

    crazy to go without Payet? plan on getting him in for kdb before his gw37 double

    1. Chenkuโ•ฐโ˜†โ•ฎ
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for the hearty surprises in line ups ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Play

    A) Bellerin (WHU A)

    Or

    B) Simpson (SUN A)

    1. Evasivo
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Simpson

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers!

  15. Evasivo
    10 years, 6 months ago

    If Firmino didn't play midweek, surely he'll be starting over Coutinho this weekend?!!

    1. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nonsense - Firmino won't be picked over Coutinho, especially given his current form

    2. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No both will start

      Lallana - Firmino - Coutinho (sub of 60'ish)
      Studge

    3. Murph1
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not necessarily over Coutinho, but over one of Lallana/Henderson given Milner will likely drop back into CDM - yes.

      1. Nomar
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Henderson is out probably for the rest of the season.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Both will start

    5. Evasivo
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks all, think that's swayed me over towards Firmino

    6. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No idea, could play both and Lallana, could play two up top and bench Firmino.

  16. oxido_76
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Repost. Need advice please.

    Who to play between :

    1) Bellerin (Whm) or Fuchs (sun)

    2 ) IWobi (Whm) or Mitrovic (south)

    1. Evasivo
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Fuchs and Mitrovic

      1. oxido_76
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks !

  17. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    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!

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You do realise that GW33 is in 1hr39mins?

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes...

  18. Whats the Mata?
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Play firmino or mitrovic?
    And sakho or bellerin?
    (3rd attempt)
    Please help

    1. Murph1
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino and Sakho

    2. ARKANOIIDE
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino, Bell

    3. BenjaminFlow
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino will most likely play ~60 minutes so I'd play him. I don't know rest of your defence byt probably both Sakho and Bellerin.

    4. Les Bleus
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool guys

  19. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any city defender nailed until GW35?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Except Otamendi that is..

    2. Fowler23
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Otamendi. Probably Mangala

    3. Odikostar
      10 years, 6 months ago

      otamendi should be since they're still playing for the 4th cup

  20. Fowler23
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Will Rashford start against Villa next week? Happy to keep him if he only plays one game. Not thrilled about downgrading any of my premium midfielders

    1. Odikostar
      10 years, 6 months ago

      yeah, I think he will

  21. Les Bleus
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Start Darmian or Monreal?

  22. TheEgyptianKing
    10 years, 6 months ago

    i would love to lay my AQA chip if i had it still

    My Mid and Attack are good but i have to bench either Payet or coutinho but im scared off both

  23. The Handsome Hunk
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Shall I play Koscienly Or Should I play Janmaat ?

    Thanks!!!.. Good Luck!!!!

    1. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Koscielny

  24. LeicesterA
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Otamendi is the only nailed city defender,right?

  25. hustler7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any help with this WC team would be appreciated been away with work so not had time to have a proper scout on here unfortunately!!! Good luck all in the Grand National too!!!

    Robles/Mignolet
    Smalling/Gabriel/Dann/Huth/Lovren
    Payet/Barkely/Sanchez/Mahrez/Iwobi
    Kane/Aguero/Lukaku

    1.2ITB for Barkley to Coutinho or Firminho next week!!!

    1. FPL Emu
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about Gabriel tbh, but looks a decent team

    2. ARKANOIIDE
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Get Firm/Cout now and save the FT, rest cool, use the FT on Kane > Martial? Or get him now ๐Ÿ™‚ Good luck!

      1. hustler7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Ok thanks!

  26. FPL Emu
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Mangala the best option from the city backline in terms of being secure for the three coming GWs?

    1. SweeSwee
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Otamendi, but Mangala is a good option

    2. hustler7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Otamendi probably most nailed imo!

  27. John Nerdelbaum
    10 years, 6 months ago

    no more tinkering, im off now

    good luck to all!

  28. FantasyFS007
    10 years, 6 months ago

    What's the Martial/Mitro argument(s)?

    1. Sid07
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Went with mitro bcs of lack of funds....
      Would go with martial especially with those fixtures

  29. Jebiga
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is Moreno safe pick ?

  30. megabunch
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Darren Fletcher as a nice and cheap midfield enabler?

    - DGW in 34
    - No blank in GW35
    - Budget friendly

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Just no ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Jebiga
        10 years, 6 months ago

        lanzini mate

    2. SweeSwee
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I had Darren Fletcher that week he scored, almost choked on my lunch in shock.

    3. Fowler23
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If u want 8 points over his next 4 games
      Lingard same price? Or Lanzini ?
