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.

    Lukaku+Delaney -> Origi/Carroll + Smalling -4

    Yay or nay?
    I have DDG, but no playing keeper next week, so can get rid of him then...

  2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    It's unsettling to see people making moves I usually have to be talked out of because they are too risky . Anyone else feel this way ?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same. TFM is a prime example. Looks tempting but risky at the same time.

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I just can't justify him. He'll be a nightmare to get rid off as well.

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      FOMO rally (fear of missing out)

  3. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Jagielka and Lukaku out for Cresswell and Martial worth a 4 point hit?

    A) Yes
    B) No

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  4. BigAsGiroud_
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    still got captain trouble...
    Ozil OR Aguero OR Martial...considering Ozil's form,Aguero's away form,and MU always get a good result with Villa at home

    1. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero by a country mile, he has a much higher points ceiling, could explode.

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero, since returning from injury has scored 5 from 7 away games in the league. Don't forget that city won their last away game 0-4 and have almost everyone back from injury

  5. NorwEagles
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If money were no issue, would you have Fosu Mensah or Cresswell?

    1. Cristi@no R7
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cresswell

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

      Cresswell, he's nailed on so no headache, hopefully till the end of the season

  6. fickle
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Rojo a better pick than fosu mensah?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  7. DanLFC1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    LENNON to Townsend, Alli, Navas or none for a -4?

  8. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez vs Martial for TC 🙂 This Villa fixture is really tempting .. what do you think? :)(

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez is the poll leader.

    2. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez for sure... Martial will be stuck out on the left and United could revert to type and not have many shots on target

  9. andrinho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will Rashford & Fosu-Mensah play considering LVG mentioned the dread word "Rotation"?!
    Thanks

    1. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think both will start. Can't really drop Rash after his midweek exploits and TFM is a beast, played well and shouldn't need a rest physically.

  10. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mignolet
    Bellerin Huth Coleman
    Mahrez Sanchez(TC) Lingard Iwobi
    Aguero Kane Lukaku
    Subs Elliot Alli Toby Azpi

    I'll try again!
    1.1m ITB. Good to go or sell Lukaku for a - 8 this week??

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      G2G

    2. DMil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      G2G. Don't take a -8. Will undo some of your TC points

  11. Mesh
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How much game time will Rashford get over the double gameweek with Rooney fit?

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      As a Utd fan, I'd say at least 120

    2. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed, 120 mins seems on point.

  12. Moore FPL
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lost on last page 🙁

    What would you do? 1 FT
    A) Lovren/Sahko -> Fosu Mensah
    B) Coutinho/Lennon -> Nasri

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lennon > Nasri

  13. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I can see it already. Mitrovic dropped and Lukaku to start both.

  14. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you reckon will score best this week?

    a) Lukaku +4
    b) Pelle
    c) Mitrovic

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

    Anyone triple captaining Sanchez, am I mad?

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You wont get a better choice all season

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Loads are

    3. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm still using BB but can see the logic in TC

    4. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I am

    5. Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's top of the captain poll and many are playing TC on him. I'm going for Aguero TC though as I don't own Sanchez

    6. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not mad............ive gone bb

    7. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think you will be only one

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

    A) Mahrez to Milner -4

    B) Bolasie to Townsend -4 (saves a hit in Gw35 as will have 10 playing)

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

      B

    2. Jandal Tan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Similar question here, would just be for the DGW, and then get Mahrez back for gw35

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

        Hmm if you wanted Mahrez back so soon I'd hold on to him. If they win the next two then that could be Leicester taking foot off gas with title won. If I got Milner would want to keep for rest of season with gw37 in mind.

  17. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The question is: will I survive this DGW without Man.Utd. attacker?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on your other players.

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

        So true. I hope everything goes well.

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

      I have Lingard so you're not that worse off than me

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

        Great enabler but United will surely rotate in next 2 games. He still might grab an assist or goal.

    3. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, MU defence more critical

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

        I have Smalling.

    4. Onwards
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      We're in the same boat. Try not to lose the paddle.

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

        We got this!

    5. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      pff who needs smelly utd

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

        I hope we'll be able to say that after DGW ...

  18. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Lukaku with the squad?

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

      https://www.instagram.com/p/BEO-ODbplle/

      That's the latest we've seen him.

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

        Cheers. Must be fine, then

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

          No problem. 🙂

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

    Captain:

    A) Özil

    B) Agüero

    C) Sturridge

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      I'd go aguero, ozil close second though. Studge too risky for me

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sturridge the risky one but expect him to start Sunday. If he scores a brace for example would Klopp drop him?

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

        B A C - in that order of i were you. Sturridge in my team too but he's a real risk. It could all end in tears as his hamstring pings 10 mins in

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

          same with agüero..

  20. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I still can't decide on what to do with Kaku :-/

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

      me too,but leaning on ditching. If you have martial, not so many enticing options though (all of which could backfire)...

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's between martial, origi, Carroll for me. But getting someone that doesn't play next week means I have to take hits to field 11.

        1. The Lastronaught
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I took a hit to do Kaku to Martial which hopefully should pay for its self and more! Martial does well at OT against weaker teams.

  21. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie / Barkley / Lukaku --> Coutinho / Firmino / Martial for -4pts. Yay or Nay?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, please.

  22. elcholo
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Origi
    2. Carroll
    3. Lukaku

    Simple choice!

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

      2

  23. united07
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Potential transfers lead me to 1 question

    Who would u rather have?

    A) Bolasie and Martial

    B) Lanzini and Lukaku

  24. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Even if Lukaku starts both he has bee terrible along with the whole team lately. Really considering shipping, just can't find the best candidate.

    1. Ings on the up
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's like looking at a menu not not wanting anything on it...

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

        But thinking the desserts don't look too bad. The derby was always his better fixture from the double. SOT seems like a limp salad without dressing whether he plays or not.

  25. Sir_Durs8
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku --> Rashford for a 4pt hit? Already have martial and aguero.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Then another hit in GW35 to get players?

  26. Ings on the up
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think of?

    Lukaku and Delaney --> Carroll and Smalling -4

    1. Ings on the up
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Or Igahlo

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

        considering the same. Two non-playing players next week though is my worry. Considering origi instead, but then he's a bench worry too.. Not sure about ighalo.

  27. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku to Origi for free yay or nay??

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Probably play as many minutes as each other.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yay

  28. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku to Martial and Lennon to Nasri for -4?

    1. The Lastronaught
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes!

  29. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1) who to get rid between bolasie and lukaku?
    A: Smalling Bolasie milner Martial vs.
    B: Rojo (of F-M) Nasri Milner Lukaku

    2) is F-M nailed on?

  30. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you choose out of...

    A) Coutinho or Firmino
    B) Sturridge or Origi

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      FO

    2. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years

      Cout and Studge (probably because i own them ^^)

    3. Arvin-ation
