We’ve built Gameweek 34 up to almost epic proportions and now, after a humbling experience last weekend, we’re left wondering if it’s going to come crashing down around our ears. Can Paddy Power’s odds somehow offer us reassurance as the deadline descends upon us?

Before we scan Paddy’s Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet reckoning, a reminder that those without an account with our bookmaker friends can look to cash in on another raft of weekend bets offering enhanced odds.

Paddy’s Premier League treble offers new customers huge odds of 25/1 on wins for Manchester United (vs Aston Villa), Everton (vs Southampton) and Man City (at Chelsea). You can also get an individual offer on that Chelsea vs City clash with Paddy offering boosted odds of 9/1 on a win for Manuel Pellegrini’s troops.

Sunday also comes packaged with its own treble bet with odds of 16/1 available on wins for Liverpool (at Bournemouth), Leicester (vs West Ham) and Arsenal (vs Crystal Palace). Again, you can get individual enhanced odds on that Emirates match-up with Paddy providing odds of 4/1 on a win for the Gunners.

Finally on Monday night, you can choose to put your money on Tottenham’s title chase as Paddy offer up odds of 6/1 on a Spurs win at Stoke City.

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.

With Manchester United heavily backed to dish out some heavy damage to a lowly Aston Villa outfit at Old Trafford, it’s no surprise to see their attacking protagonists dominate Paddy’s goalscoring chart.

Wayne Rooney’s name at the top with odds of just 1.72 is, however, a little jarring. He seems likely to be given an initial watching brief for today’s encounter but he’s also backed here by likely starters – double Gameweek favourite, Anthony Martial (1.83) and our Differential pick, Marcus Rashford (2.20). Visitors Villa arrive in Manchester having shipped 13 goals in their last five league outings.

With three goals in his last four starts, Captain Poll leader Alexis Sanchez (1.90) ranks third before Arsenal’s home clash against Crystal Palace.

The Eagles’ rearguard was breached seven times in their last three road ties, ensuring that Olivier Giroud (2.10), Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott (all 2.29) are also priced keenly. It should also be noted that Alex Iwobi’s form has not gone unrecognised by Paddy – the 4.7 priced starlet is also handed odds of just 2.29 for a goal in Sunday’s Emirates encounter.

With a weary Manchester City pitted against a resurgent Chelsea outfit, Sergio Aguero – despite scoring in his last two league starts – is handed relatively modest odds of 2.00 for a Gameweek goal. For that same reason, the explosive Argentine claimed just 19% of the vote in our Captain Poll.

Fresh from a brace against Sunderland, Jamie Vardy (2.10) locks horns with a West Ham United defence that’s conceded nine goals in four fixtures. Harry Kane can also be backed at 2.10 when he takes on a Stoke City back line that surrendered four goals at Anfield last time out.

Considering that Romelu Lukaku (2.29) is carrying a minor groin injury and hasn’t scored in four league outings, the Belgian appears to offer poor value ahead of a home encounter with Southampton. Everton have posted three blanks in their previous four match-ups and have been abject in front of their own fans throughout the campaign. Having said that, the Saints arrive on Merseyside without a shut-out in their last seven which will offer a crumb of comfort to those holding Lukaku in hope he comes through his pre-match fitness test.

Aston Villa have failed to score in four of their last five matches further promoting a Manchester United defence that has been imperious at Old Trafford. That installs Louis van Gaal’s men as clear favourites to seal a Gameweek clean sheet with short odds of just 1.57 on the shut-out.

Despite shipping three goals to Andy Carroll and West Ham at Upton Park last time out, Arsenal (2.00) remain a strong bet against a Crystal Palace attack that has notched just three goals in their last four league matches.

Further down the odds, Spurs (2.40) have registered shut-outs in three of their last four fixtures and have conceded fewer goals than any team in away fixtures (13), while West Bromwich Albion (2.50) will fancy their chances of stifling a Watford unit that has drawn blanks in four of their previous six outings.

West Ham have their work cut out besting a Leicester (2.62) defence that’s tallied seven clean sheets in eight home ties. Meanwhile, Norwich City (2.80) will attempt to rebuff the advances of a Sunderland side that’s scored just twice in their last four in a tense Carrow Road six-pointer.

Newcastle United and Liverpool are both pitched at 2.80 for the first of their double Gameweek showdowns. The Magpies mustered a solitary clean sheet in their previous 17 encounters, while the Reds battle a Bournemouth outfit that have carded blanks in two of their last three fixtures.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Darlow, Wijnaldum and Mitrovic?

      1. Sylas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

  4. Gerci
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    A) Zabaleta

    B) Mangala

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Neither, Zabaleta at threat to Sagna, Mangala will be dropped once Kompany is back

      1. Gerci
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        who would you consider instead? Mangala will play the next 3 I think.. Got 5.8 and already 3 of LIV and ARS.

        Or just playing VVD? Could also score big against the toffees

  5. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    City fans, will KdB get more than 150 min?

      B

  9. Lecky Legs FC

    2. Epic Fail

      Martial is.

  10. Garfield1001

    • 12 Years

    Worried about my bench boost squad:

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

    No free transfers. Wondering if I should take some hits to get more nailed players. Advice would be much appreciated!

  11. ArseneAllTheWay

    Whats the biggest hit people are taking for this GW, 4...8......12???

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      8

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      8 so far, considering lukaku out for 12

      1. Namtab Nomolos
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Hi mate, I pulled the plug on Lukaku. My ML rivals still have Kane and it's somewhat of a protective measure to stop them using him to catch up, but also he's got more goals in him.

    3. Namtab Nomolos
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      12 but it's 34/35 combined as I got Kane back early saving -4 next week

    4. Cristi@no R7
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      20 & counting.

    5. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      -8

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Can Everton even field a team today with so many injuries?

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I took out all my 3 Everton players

      What u think about my WC team ??
      Mignolet /Ruddy
      Smalling / Huth/ Coleman / Sakho / Bellerin
      Iwobi / Firmino / Sanchez / Alli / Mahrez
      Aguero / Vardy / Rashford

      1. DMil
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Not sure about Coleman, think I'd rather have Cresswell.
        Firmino a big rotation risk over next 3 matches

      1. Nespinha
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Get Lennon out for Townsend (ive done that). Lennon could play 0 or 1 game. Townsend will play both for sure

      2. Onwards
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Needs less Lingard and more MUN defence. Are you open to hits? On WC?

    • Nespinha
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Lennon to Townsend done.

      Lovren, Sakho or Gabriel out for a -4 hit?

    • Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      More news on Lukaku?
      I still recon him to start tho

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I think he'll definitely start one. The question is whether he starts both.

        1. Sjaugen
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Thanks.
          But to remove him one week early for Sturridge?

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Kone was terrible the other night so I reckon Martinez has no other choice

    • Jandal Tan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      What are peoples thoughts on Mahrez to Milner for the dgw, for -4...?

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Not for me.

        Surely due a rest in GW35 so might not even get an extra game.

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Nah, not with Mahrez playing 35 too.

        1. Nespinha
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          this. Would only make sens for one that doubled this week and played 35
