With the title race and relegation scrap building to a crescendo, Fantasy Football managers are attempting to eek out the last remaining opportunities to gain rank and ground on rivals. We turn once again to Paddy Power to give us a fresh perspective on matters, tossing more variables into the decision-making mix.

Before we scan Paddy’s odds for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if you’ve yet to get yourself an account, our bookmaker partner offers regular weekend deals to new customers, loaded with enhanced odds.

This weekend is no different with odds of 16/1 available in their “European Acca” should you fancy wins for Bayern Munich (vs Borussia Monchengladbach), Dortmund (vs Wolfsburg), West Ham (at West Brom) and Arsenal (vs Norwich).

Sunday offers a host of boosted bets, starting with odds of 7/1 on a Liverpool win over Swansea at the Liberty in the day’s early kick-off (regular odds 6/5). That’s followed by huge odds of 12/1 on an historic Leicester victory at Old Trafford (regular odds 12/5).

You can also get 10/1 on a Southampton win over Man City, or double up on Sunday wins for Manchester City and Leicester with odds of 25/1.

Finally, if you fancy a flutter in Monday night’s encounter, you can pick up odds of 7/1 on a Tottenham win over Chelsea at the Bridge.

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.

Arsenal’s home tie against Norwich City makes them the standout option for Paddy this weekend, elevating the in-form Alexis Sanchez to the top of their goalscorer reckoning to mimic the opinion of our current Captain Poll. The Chilean is given short odds of 1.57 for an anytime strike against the Canaries, having scored in four of his last five starts. He will also be engaging Norwich defence that has conceded six goals in their previous trio of outings. Elsewhere in the Gunners’ squad, Olivier Giroud (1.83), Danny Welbeck (1.83) and Theo Walcott (2.20) also chart in Paddy’s top 10 with Paddy anticipating a comfortable Arsenal win.

Although Romelu Lukaku (1.72) posted blanks in his last five starts, Everton’s maligned marksman is priced down at 1.72 for the Goodison encounter with Bournemouth. The bookmaker is clearly wary of the fact that the Cherries have shipped 14 goals in their last five league fixtures.

Harry Kane can be snapped up at odds of 1.83 ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Stamford Bridge. The league’s top scorer has notched eight goals in his last seven league appearances and generally thrives in the capital, having tallied 14 goals in 18 London derbies. However, we obviously have to be aware of the impact of a potential Leicester City win at Old Trafford 24-hours earlier.

Despite netting in his last five starts, Sergio Aguero (2.00) places an unfamiliar sixth in Paddy’s current assessment. The City striker will be tasked with breaching a Southampton rearguard that’s failed to record a clean sheet in nine outings as he gives chase to Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.

Watford’s strike duo, Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney, come in at 2.10 for their home clash against Aston Villa. The visitors have conceded four or more goals on four occasions across their last 10 match-ups, which should motivate the hosts to dispel their recent FA Cup semi-final defeat and break a dry spell in front of goal.

Having been rested during Liverpool’s midweek Europa League showdown, Daniel Sturridge (2.25) sneaks onto the table. The former Chelsea recruit graced the scoresheet in each of his previous four starts and is pitted against a Swansea City back line that were put to the sword by Leicester City last Gameweek. Much depends, of course, on his chances of starting Sunday’s early kick-off, with Jurgen Klopp potentially turning to Christian Benteke (2.40) to lead the line as he prepares the Reds for Thursday’s Europa League second leg tie with Villareal.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 36

Arsenal (1.90) have notched four clean sheets in their previous six fixtures and will welcome a Norwich unit that has drawn blanks in four of their last six outings – it’s no real surprise to see the Gunners sitting atop Paddy’s clean sheet odds.

Watford rank next, despite claiming just a single shut-out in their last seven. Nonetheless they face a beleaguered Aston Villa outfit that has failed to score in five of their past seven league clashes.

Manchester United (2.40) still boast the best home defence (seven goals conceded) and have shipped just once in their previous five matches. That being said, they’ll do well to stifle a buoyant Foxes side that have carded eight goals in their last three matches and who will surely be going all out for the win that would seal the title.

Newcastle and West Ham United are both pitched at 2.50 for a Gameweek clean sheet. The Magpies play host to Crystal Palace, who have tallied just two goals in their previous four encounters. Meanwhile, the Hammers search for their first shut-out in six when they travel to a West Bromwich Albion side that’s scored in just two of their previous six.

Sunderland have shifted in from 3.20 to 3.10 overnight for their trip to Stoke City. The Black Cats have tightened up of late, claiming three shut-outs in their last four and conceding just four goals in six.

Liverpool are handed odds of 3.20 for a clean sheet in their trip to the Liberty – Klopp’s side have kept just one shut-out in seven and look certain to shuffle their defence ahead of Thursday’s Villareal clash.

    Play KDB or Rashford?

    1. Disco Volante
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford. Lots of people wondering about KDB on here - he won't start.

  2. Kroos Kontrol
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you bench (only 1) from Sturridge, J King and Iwobi. Leaning on King but he's got a great fixture tbh while Studge is unlikely to play 90 mins (and Swansea are no joke at home).

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

      King.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sturridge scores for sure if he starts so I would bench King

    3. Toothless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sturridge didn't play midweek so surely a decent chance of a good run out?

  3. alfast1c
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Play Wollscheid (SUN) or Kaboul (sto) ?

    I am on Kaboul atm, thinking Sunderland is going to get a draw at least and like last 2 seasons save their ass and stay in premier league.

    Ur thoughts ??

    1. Disco Volante
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I agree with you.

    2. Wings Fan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely Kaboul

    Morning All,

    Went into my team this morning found out I shipped out Aguero》Ighalo Alli》Payet. Have the armband on Ighalo. This what happens I get tipsy.

    Should I keep the armband on him or switch it back to Sanchez?

  6. Toothless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Who to bench out of Moreno (swa), PvA (stk) or Alderweireld (che)?

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    So we get to GW36 of the season and Arsenal finally have a fully fit squad 😀

  8. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who To Start??

    A- Lanzini

    B- Gabril If he Plays can get CS v.s Norwish H

    1. Sicaholic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B. if he doesnt start, Lanzini will auto sub on. unlikely Gab will be subbed on mid game barring any injuries

    2. Mouldmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Start Gabriel, he shouldn't come on in the game for Mert so if he doesn't start Lanzini will autosub for him.

  9. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Big green or big red?

    DDG
    PVA Bellerin Creswell
    Alexis(C) Hazza Pedro Payet
    Defoe lukaku Studge

    Ruddy Lanzini Kirchoff Smalling

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Big green 🙂

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

      It certainly won't be anywhere near a gray arrow.

    3. Mouldmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Risky green! - I like, these last few weeks should be fun.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        It is punty. I've won my ML so having a bit of fun.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I am all for punty. But I prefer a bit of encouragement.

          Hazard, Pedro
          Lukaku

          Sunderland defence.

          Not for me - but maybe that is why I am so crap, this Season. Who knows?

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Pedro I'm playing purely on stats.

            Sunderland defence because I don't wanna go Watford or Everton. Their stats are all over the place.

            Lukaku I agree is a shot in the dark.

    5. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I like it and the way you've played this season in general.

      Good luck LR.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Huge compliment comig from you.

    6. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Well, red or green, it'll be a goddamn big one!
      Though considering your season, probably green

  10. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Pellé or Carroll this week?
    Got Pellé at the moment and planning to get Carroll in for him next week so it's just when to do it sort of thing.. If Pellé will start leaning towards him at the moment with his past form against big teams at home
    Thx

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

      Carroll. I don't trust Pelle to start.

  11. Sicaholic
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    if money is no object, PVA or Cresswell until end of season?

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

      Cress.

      1. Sicaholic
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        im thinking pva has better cleanie potential, and are fighting off relegation which might just be the biggest factor.
        west ham has conceded 12 goals in last 6 games.
        still cant decide who has better goals and assists potential though.

    2. Wings Fan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Cresswell

    3. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ivanovic

    4. Sp0rting
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like money is an object,

      1. Sicaholic
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        hmm or anyone else? i have smalling, lovren, bellerin, delaney. thinking of playing smalling and lovren plus on more DWer. dont really rate chelsea def and fixtures

  12. Wings Fan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Play DDG or Gomes?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'm playing Gomes

  13. Mouldmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Coutinho to Fabregas worth -4 this week? Or wait..

  14. dejarik
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    A. Lanzini or B. Townsend in this team?

    DDG
    Bellerin - PVA - Simpson
    Sanchez (C) - Mahrez - Payet - Lanzini/Townsend
    Aguero - Kane - Carroll

    Bench: KDB - Gabriel - Fosu-Mensah

  15. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Planning Alli, Aguero, Martial to Hazard, Carroll, Sturridge for a total -4 for the double. My options this week are:

    1. Bench Alli, play Lanzini, save transfer, do all three next week

    2. Alli and Aguero to Hazard and Carroll

    3. Aguero and Martial to Carroll and Sturridge

    4. Aguero to Sturridge

    5. Martial to Carroll

    6. F**k it, do all three this week.

    Which do you prefer?

    Think a lot of us might wish we had Lukaku after this GW

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Trollaku and Blankaku is staying well clear from my team now

    2. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yep!!! he's gonna bang in a few ain't he along with Sturridge, giving us all who haven't got them a major headache. To rid ourselves of Kane or Kun that is the question

  17. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    City will face Real Madrid and Arsenal in next 7 days....
    Aguero will be rested surely....

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Can't see it, season will be over soon and he is fit

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Pellegrini: “To play eight games in 30 days which is a lot for this squad so I’m making rotations in every game we play.”

    3. Disco Volante
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He's chasing the golden boot and City have to get top four can't see him being rested entirely and 60 minutes of Kun can mean three goals in any game. Even a bench cameo could pay dividends. It's Aguero.

  18. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Reeeaallly hope Gabriel plays today. Long shot I know

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Not that long of a shot... Wenger might spring a few surprises today

  19. tetters
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Current mid:

    Payet Sanchez KdB Coutinho (Alli)

    Worth a hit to do Alli > Townsend? And Couts on the bench?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd guess they'll get some minutes. And Townsend is useless.

  20. HP.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Should I make Alexis triple (c) this week?

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      that would be sick

      1. KipperBRT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I'm seriously considering it. The other choice is waiting until week 38 when Arsenal are at home to villa.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Can you hold out till GW38 vs Villa?

      1. HP.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        No because I think if teams don't have anything to play for they won't be at their best.

    3. Mikkyf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No

    4. tetters
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Villa

    5. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You only have 3 weeks left

      The last game against Aston Villa would be the game for me if Arsenal still need secure a Top 4

  21. UnitedFan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Current backline is:

    Bellerin Cresswell Fuchs

    Should I play Gabs for the off chance he starts? If so, take out who or, is there a threat of a cameo?

    1. reeceon
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I've played Gabriel, first sub Fuchs, Gabriel has not come of the bench all season as far as I can remember

  22. UKG
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else benching Iwobi?

    Cant justify starting him currently over Martial / Mahrez / Payet / Aguero / Kane / Sanchez

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

  24. bowtimer62
    • 12 Years

    Thinking Alli and Aguero out for Sanchez and Sturridge (for a -8). Madness or inspired?!?

  25. Who Ate All Depays?

    Guys, am I gtg?

    Robles
    Bellerin / Gabriel / Darmian

      Aguero is capable of a Hattie in any game he starts.....Lukaku certainly isn't

    5. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Too many hits imo. Aguero will play 60 mins.

    No GK this GW and contemplating selling two DGWers next week for a hit. Crazy end to the season.
