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.

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.

    Who to bench?
    Mahrez Milner Iwobi Sánchez Payet
    Defoe Agüero Kane

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Milner.

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

    What are the chances of Sturridge starting?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Really high I'd say. Can't see him playing past 60 minutes though.

  3. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Percentage chances these guys start ?

    A mitrovic
    B nasri
    C countino

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Why so low on Cout

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

    Am I crazy?

    GW36: Aguero > Lukaku (limited Kun minutes, Lukaku 4 decent fixtures)
    GW37: Mahrez > Hazard (Leicester could have won the league, Haz DGW and something to prove)

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Remember when Lukaku had 4 decent fixtures in GW33-34? 😉

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

        True, he performs when you don't expect him to though

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't do either of those moves but that's just me.

      GW37 Leicester are at home. They will want to put on a show for their fans that day so I would expect Mahrez to start.

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

        Yeah good point, I just think with the extra games it could pay off, but could go horribly wrong too

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Last DGW taught you that sometimes 1 game is better than 2.

    3. v12w12
      • 14 Years

      nope

  5. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    On Wildcard so last chance to make changes:

    A) DDG, Toby and Simpson

    or

    B) Gomes, Darmian and Rose

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A - I've been burnt by Darmian already

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        A is what I currently have.

        Will leave as is then.

        Thanks.

  6. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years

  7. Siggy Azalea
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Morning guys,

    Got 1.1 in the bank...worth a -4 hit to get anyone in?

    Wollscheid - Bellerin - Azpi
    Siggy - Firmino - Iwobi - Mahrez

    Bench: DDG - Simpson - Alli - Coleman

  8. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Im gonna get Brady in for Alli.

    Do I make it a -4 and get Hazard for KDB?!

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Brady? Really?

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

        Yeah.. Norwich have to start scoring.. 😉

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I've got Brady in on WC.

        Guaranteed to play both DGW games as Norwich fighting for their lives. Norwich have nothing to lose now so they need to go for it every game.

  9. Gerci
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    A) Van Dijk -> Van Aanholt

    B) Özil + Van Dijk -> Sanchez + Kirchhoff (-4)

    De Gea/Darlow
    Simpson Gabriel Clyne Cresswell Van Dijk
    Mahrez Iwobi Firmino Payet Özil
    Kane Agüero Sturridge

  10. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years

    Any chance mitrovic starts???? Or transfer to Defoe ? Or keep and save my ft ?

  11. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth starting Gabriel?

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I am

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

      May as well, he'll either start, or probably won't play at all

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

      Yes 90 or 0.

  12. Siggy Azalea
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Firmino to Payet for -4 hit?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      To hard flip a coin! I mean I'd do it but for a -4 are you chasing in a ML or ahead?

    2. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      sideways move, not worth a -4

  13. nkhoughton

  14. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    50/50 response so far please help Play aoa or bench Mitovic and play a Leicester defender?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Leicester clean sheet will be tough away to man u

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        So stick with Aoa?

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

      if you think mitrovic will start, then definitely AoA

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

      Mitro won't start mate.

  15. David Brains - OH NO!
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    I need to bench one of these players and just know I'll get it wrong:

    A) Mahrez (mun)
    B) Firmino (swa)
    C) Iwobi (NOR)
    D) Payet (wba)

    Currently swaying towards B - any thoughts?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B is least likely to start and it is whom I'm going with. Not too comfortable, however.

      1. David Brains - OH NO!
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        It's a tricky one - the ownership of Mahrez and Payet makes it quite dangerous to bench them - in my mini league anyway

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

      Mahrez

      1. David Brains - OH NO!
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I can see a low scoring game, but he's so good away from home

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

      That's tough, I'd go Mahrez actually

  16. Zoom Zoom
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Slim (5pt) lead in lucrative monthly contest with 1 GW left. Keepers are Mignolet and Robles, who are both at risk for rotation. Do I take a hit to get a new keeper, and if yes, who? Have the cash to bring anyone on board.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't do it myself

  17. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    No Leicester in the clean sheet odds? Wow

    Paddy giving away money

    No Sanchez, so who to captain please?

    1. Ozil
    2. Sanchez -4
    2. Aguero
    3. Kane
    4. other, Payet/Lanzini/Mahrez/Martial the options

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ozil or aguero

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

    This week:
    A) Sakho to Cresswell
    B) Pelle to Ighalo (-4hit)

    Next week:

    Good plan?

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

      Looks good to me. Maybe Deeney over Iggy?

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Basically doing the same as you, except im going for Deeney

    3. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      yes

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

      Ighalo for a real differential pick as everyone is going for Deeney (I'm chasing in mini-league)

      Its usually way quicker than this, the later deadline is slowing it down.

  24. CrouchDown

    I just realised the value of my 7 GK/DEFS is 30 million!!! Anyone beat that?

  25. Disco Volante
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Just can't decide:-

    Bench 2 from Martial, Milner, Huth and Smalling.

    1. v12w12
      • 14 Years

      huth and probs smalling

    1. Alisson WondHaaland

    2. HVT

    Have Payet Sanchez Mane Townsend Lukaku Kun Sturridge

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

      I'd bench Mane

    Shameless Hungover Repost

    Beer and wildcard left me with this...
    Any suggestions or constructive criticism..
    Who to bench in def is confusing...

    DDG
    Moreno PVA Creswell
    Hazard Sanchez Payet Milner
    Sturridge Lukaku Rashford

    Gomes Apzi Lanzini Kirchoff

    BB to play

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

      I would rather have Townsend/Mahrez/Lanzini than Milner, because Milner will most probably get rested a lot during the run in.

      1. nevins84
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        would be open to changing but only for dgw, dont see much better at that price

  29. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years

    Who to transfer in??

    a) Mitrovic >>> Defoe / Carroll
    b) Alli >>> Townsend

    d) Delaney >>> Cress / PVA

    1. manutd99

      a) Mitrovic >>> Defoe / Carroll
      b) Alli >>> Townsend
      c) KDB >>> Payet
      d) Delaney >>> Cress / PVA

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I'd do B. I made the same move myself and am also giving him the armband.

        Mitrovic, KDB and Delaney can all get minutes - Alli can't.
