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.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      As bad as it has been for a while.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Train wreck

      Coleman and Jagielka injured

      Funes Mori suspended

      And they weren't doing that good but we're ahead of the folks that will play

  8. The Tinkerman

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

    Im on a wildcard and have Rashford, should I look at Deeny Defoe instead?

    4. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      All of them good options, I went with Defoe... well until now.

    5. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Deeney - Aguero - Lukaku

    Robles - Coutinho - Smalling - Sakho

    1. ppp

      1. Spencer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        No one knows for definite

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

          I think there's enough backup in the team that you don't have to take a hit. May be worth it if it saves you a hit next week I suppose..

          1. Spencer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights

            Thanks man

  19. ppp
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Worth keeping KDB with lanzini first bench?
    Same for Gabriel (Kaboul in bench)?

  20. manutd99
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Have the following supended/rotation players

    Sakho
    Alli
    Gabriel
    KDB
    Milner

    Will only have one player on the bench. Gonna have to take a hit to take one out

    A) Sakho to PVA - 2 players on bench
    B) KDB to Hazard - 1 Player on bench

    Not much value in A but handy if 2 dont play but B seems better dependent on KDB minutes as a chance he'll play.

    Opinions

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B

  21. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Firmino > Hazard (-4)??

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Have no one on the bench if Firmino doesn't play!

  22. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Play Darlow or Robles?

  23. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    1. cresswell and lingard/cheap mid
    or
    2. cathcart (got gomes) and lanzini

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

      maybe lovern instead of cathcart?

  24. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Bench Simpson or Rojo?

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

    Tempted to Keep Ozil this week before converting him to a Chelsea mid next week.

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

      This is wise. He was unlucky not to get any goals/assists last few games.

  26. ppp
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Start Robles or DDG?

    1. Dilzy

      DDG

    2. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Arghhhh, made early move for Robles for the DGW, now have Hennessey in goal. Is it worth a -4 to swap him to Gomes? Also means I have 2 options for DGW in the net

    Team at moment is below, looking like 9 for DGW but maybe less if rotated

    Hennesey (robles)
    Moreno, Alderwiereld, Azpiliceuta (Simpson, Collins)
    Payet, Barkley, Mahrez, Sanchez(c) (Coutinho)
    Carroll, Kun, Sturridge

    Am I good to go or do I need keeper change or other?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Just play hen.....barring pen saves a keeper ng needs a clean sheet just to pay the bit back
