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.

    Last Question of the day

    Coutinho or Firmino

    1. Sid07
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho......

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

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

    3. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      firmino because of his form before injury

    4. Vedas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino

  2. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    Wildcarding next week. G2G?

    rojo is now a no go?

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

      Been a no go all week

    2. how now brown cow

      no jo

  4. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Must have midfielders in their order:

    Sanchez
    KdB
    Payet
    Coutinho
    Firmino
    Barkley
    Lanzini
    Bolaise
    Lennon

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

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

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil is so out of the loop, now.

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

    4. Tinmen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Folks, which option is better?
      Struggling big time

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

    5. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 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
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Silva out, so KDB very likely to start IMO

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

          Cheers mate.

    6. ymx
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Simpson vs Morgan!?!

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

        Simpson, cheaper.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        simpson

      3. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Simpson

    7. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone else really teared between Coutinho and Firminio?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

        If Sturridge gets crocked tomorrow then Firmino is the one.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        yes now that firmino has better odds than coutinho for scoring

        coutinho not even on the list

      3. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Major dilemma for me..

    8. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 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
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

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

    9. Skogen89

      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
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        You spelt KDB wrong.

      2. Aiders
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 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.

        Very good team!

        But your Goalkeepers probably won't give you many points

        1. Sid07
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

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

    11. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 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 😎

      1. Sid07
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

      gtg?

      ddg/robles
      bellerin, gabriel, simpson, darmian, sakho

      1. Chenku╰☆╮

        Wait for the hearty surprises in line ups 🙂

    13. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Play

      A) Bellerin (WHU A)

      Or

      B) Simpson (SUN A)

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Simpson

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Cheers!

    14. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

      2. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        No both will start

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

      3. Murph1
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Henderson is out probably for the rest of the season.

      4. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Both will start

      5. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

      6. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

    15. oxido_76
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Repost. Need advice please.

      Who to play between :

      1) Bellerin (Whm) or Fuchs (sun)

      2 ) IWobi (Whm) or Mitrovic (south)

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years

        Fuchs and Mitrovic

      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!

    17. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Murph1
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Firmino and Sakho

      2. ARKANOIIDE
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Firmino, Bell

      3. BenjaminFlow
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 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
        • 14 Years

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

        Otamendi. Probably Mangala

      3. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

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

        yeah, I think he will

    20. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Start Darmian or Monreal?

    21. TheEgyptianKing

      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

    22. The Handsome Hunk

        Koscielny

    23. LeicesterA
      • 11 Years

      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

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years

        Not sure about Gabriel tbh, but looks a decent team

      2. ARKANOIIDE
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. hustler7

    25. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years

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

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

        Otamendi, but Mangala is a good option

      2. hustler7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Otamendi probably most nailed imo!

    26. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years

      no more tinkering, im off now

      good luck to all!

        • 11 Years

        Would go with martial especially with those fixtures

    28. Jebiga
      • 13 Years

      Is Moreno safe pick ?

    29. megabunch
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Darren Fletcher as a nice and cheap midfield enabler?

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