As we furiously attempt to de-code the double Gameweek puzzle, it’s now time to consider yet another set of variables as we trouble Paddy Power for their weekend odds.

Before we analyse their reckoning for Anytime Goalscorers and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if you’ve yet to grab yourself an account with our bookmaker partners, this weekend is another opportunity to cash in on a raft of enhanced odds offers.

It all starts with Saturday’s Premier League treble which dangles big odds of 25/1 on wins for West Ham (vs Swansea), Chelsea (at Sunderland) and Leicester (vs Everton). The Foxes are also covered by their own enhanced bet with Paddy offering 6/1 on a crowning victory for Claudio Ranieri’s boys against suffering Everton.

On Sunday and you can choose to back Southampton’s flourishing form against a deflated Spurs with odds of 14/1 on a Saints win at White Hart Lane.

Paddy have also got another treble covering Sunday’s matches, with 20/1 on wins for Spurs (vs Southampton), Liverpool (vs Watford) and Man City (vs Arsenal).

Finally, if you fancy a individual flutter on that Etihad clash, you can get either 7/1 on a Man City win or 10/1 on an away win for Arsenal.

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.

While Fantasy managers contemplate Jurgen Klopp’s latest shuffled teamsheet, Paddy are very clear in their thinking when it comes to Liverpool’s goal-getting power against Watford at Anfield.

Both Christian Benteke and Daniel Sturridge (1.72) top their current odds reckoning for a Gameweek goal, while Roberto Firmino (2.10) is the highest rank midfielder on show, swiftly followed by team-mate Philippe Coutinho (2.40). In short, if these guys get minutes, Paddy is strongly backing them for goal returns.

Paddy have also been quick to recognise the form of Andy Carroll; the Hammers target man heads up a pack of strikers ranked at 1.90 as he rumbles into a home encounter with Swansea City. Should he get the opportunity, Carroll looks well positioned to terrorise the Swans rearguard once again: the Welshman always struggle to cope with Carroll’s aerial threat, have surrendered seven goals in their last two away clashes and will likely be without skipper Ashley Williams.

Dimitri Payet leads our Captain Poll and is also handed short odds of 2.40 by Paddy – only Firmino ranks higher amongst FPL midfielders.

Jamie Vardy and Sergio Aguero are both also pitched at the 1.90 mark. The former netted three goals in two starts before serving out his suspension and could be set to fill his boots in a celebratory King Power fixture against Everton.

Meanwhile, Aguero’s form (seven goals in five) underlines his continued potential as City head into Sunday’s clash with Arsenal at the Etihad. Manuel Pellegrini’s men could be leg weary following Wednesday’s flat performance in Madrid, although the City boss has stressed that his side now have to prioritise a top four place with United and West Ham still threatening.

Having drawn two blanks in his last four appearances, Harry Kane (2.00) charts in an unfamiliar rank this weekend ahead of a White Hart Lane meeting with in-form Southampton. Kane is looking to keep a grip on the Golden Boot but is part of a Spurs side who could be somewhat demoralised by Monday’s result at Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino’s outfit could also be knocked out of their stride by the absence of Mousa Dembele who starts a mammoth 6-match suspension following his FA charge for violent conduct. Kane has scored just once in the nine matches that Dembele has missed this season.

Further down the ranks, Newcastle strike duo Papiss Cisse and Aleksandar Mitrovic (both 2.25) will look to profit from Aston Villa’s obliging defence. The Villains have conceded four goals in three of their last eight match-ups, providing the perfect platform for Rafa Bentiez’s side to continue their current form: the Mapgies have scored in each of their last seven matches.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 37

TeamOdds
West Ham2.10
Newcastle2.29
Manchester United2.29
Liverpool2.40
Bournemouth2.60
Crystal Palace2.70
Tottenham2.87
Leicester3.10

Given that Swansea have posted blanks in their previous pair of road ties, it’s no surprise to see that West Ham (2.10) have been pinpointed by Paddy as the team with the most favourable clean-sheet prospects in the Gameweek. Just behind them, Newcastle (2.29) have recorded two shut-outs in four and are pitted against a Villa unit that failed to score in five of their last eight fixtures.

Manchester United are also currently ranked at 2.29 to keep Norwich City out at Carrow Road. While Louis van Gaal’s side have kept just five of their 17 shut-outs away from home, they’re up against a desperate Canaries who are without a goal in their last three league fixtures.

Liverpool come next with odds of 2.40 as they seek to repel the advances of Watford. The Hornets have scored just twice in their previous quartet of road matches, which suggests that Liverpool’s odds have suffered from the threat of Klopp rotation.

Bournemouth (2.60) have conceded the joint-most goals (16) across their last six match-ups, illustrating their poor value for a home tie against West Bromwich Albion. Crystal Palace’s (2.70) home encounter with Stoke City looks more promising, considering that the Potters have notched a solitary goal in their previous trio of fixtures.

Further down the table, Paddy feel that Spurs (2.87) have their work cut out stifling a Southampton attack that has amassed more goals (12) than any team in their last four fixtures. While our bookmaker suggests that Ranieri will relax his approach to the home meeting with Everton – the Foxes are given relatively long odds of 3.10 for a shut-out in today’s late kick-off.

  1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Kane and Coutinho > Borini and Hazard for a hit?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Chasing a Defoe owner so need Borini or similar differential.

      1. Puncheon Guly
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Eurgh, not a borini fan. What about rashford?

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      No. Borini isn't heavy enough.

    3. gunner267
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Im not keen on Borini at all.

    4. FPL_DON

      yes

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      if someone told me at Christmas I'd be worried about not having Carroll and maybe triple captaining Hazard..

  3. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Darlow or Robles?

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

      I'm playing Robles, 2 games surely allows for more points than 1 game

      1. bring back diop
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        but he might not play the 2

    2. Del Griffiths
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Carlow, just realised Everton are playing Leicester and that could be a cricket score.

      1. grecian3000
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Same problem here, am thinking Darlow might outscore Robles even with one game less

  7. RassDogg
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    I can bring in anyone I want for my TC and I'm chasing 40points:

    Who shall I bring in??

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

      Depends who your rival has.

      1. RassDogg
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        He's going to captain either Payet or caroll.

        I only have Payet!

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

          Bring in one of the big names who he hasn't got and captain them.

          1. RassDogg
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 day ago

            Possibly Defoe? He's got something to play for and is guaranteed...

    2. Del Griffiths
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Costa?

      1. RassDogg
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Ooo that's a decent shout...

  8. Flying Assassins
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Delaney --> Reid (-8)

    Yay or Nay?

  9. La Roja
    • 14 Years

      10 years, 1 day ago

      Am I *

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

      He's one of many decent options.

    3. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I'm TC Defoe or Hazard!

    4. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      No, I actually think it's a very good call.

      Wish I had the balls to go him or Haz over Payet.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Then I'm so sorry sir but you maybe losing your touch if Payet fails.

        We gotta risk everything said Steve Jobs.

    5. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      No - I am doing it as well. Have a good feeling about this. Buona fortuna.

    Do I ditch Coutinho or KDB for Hazard?

    Thanks

    1. Doylaz

      KDB

      1. Donhush
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Do we really think Coutinho would start both games? I like KDB's chances against arsenal and swansea.

  15. Jøssy ⭐

    Anyone reckon it's worth -4 to upgrade Simpson for a DGWer??

    A) Martin
    B) Terry/Ivanovic
    C) Moreno/Clyne
    D) Kirchhoff (double-up???)
    E) Any WAT?

    NB. Can't buy Utd/Eve players under ML rules

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights

      So no other hits?

      If so, Yeah.

      Which, not sure but not A or D (or C)

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights

      2. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years

        Currently on -4

    2. Paganoi

      I did B (Ivan)

      1. Jøssy ⭐

        Cheers mate

      2. Paganoi
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        I should add that the only reason I made the move is because I'm not convinced Clyne will play both in the DGW. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it.

        1. Jøssy ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          You did Clyne > Ivan?

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      No. Not keen on any of those options. Besides, Simpson is due a goal.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Ok, cheers mate. Just conscious that I'm playing Fuchs anyway, and that with two games any defender is capable of clearing 6 points no problem

  16. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Currently 33 ahead in 500 ML rivals -8 included. He has the likes of Carroll and hazard. And his TC

    I have Sturridge and firmino, no Carroll or hazard and no chips.

    Worth doing a -8 or -12 to really turn the screw and get the players I feel will do well this wk??

    Add them to Sturridge and firmino or replace pool players with west ham ones.

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

      Yes

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

      Yep

    3. emyoueffsee
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I have a very similar dilemma but don't think it's worth it to change any Lpool for West Ham. Firmino,Sturridge and Cou will all see minutes in the DGW and Caroll's second game is against Utd who are a tough team to score against, usually.
      I ended up taken a -16 but I have BB and a possible 15 players.
      I would not be afraid to take hits, get players who are most dangerous to you. Good luck.

  17. mozza
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Kane to Martial (-4)?

    1. Doylaz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      No

  18. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Carroll just looks the better captaincy option based on form, the fact that he's a striker, record vs Swans yet all I can think about is him hobbling off 20 mins into the game.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I tend to agree, but frightened of moving off Payet.

      Also, bit of changed Swansea team today that doesn't include Captain Cymru. A swans fan should be very afraid.

    2. Del Griffiths
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Yep. Or going mad and nutting someone. Or both.

  19. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Kane to Carroll really worth -4??

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

      Might be.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Yes it's really -2 as Carroll should play twice (and doesn't get booked)

    2. sweglet
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      In my opinion yes! spurs losing it at the end of last game is a sign of decline

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        You never know with Kane thou!

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I think so, minus 2 in essence v weakened Swansea team and a second game...

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        I dont have PVA or even Cresswell. So triple on Wham attack? or -4 for a DGW defender? Help EVS, ML at stake.

    4. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      This is what I can't decide, just seems wrong

    Robles likely to start or am i better off playing Cech? Cheers gents

    1. VS10_

      Rob

    2. Epic Fail

      Tough choice. Still can't decide if I keep Coutinho. Probably Sanchez

    Bench/choose one, please:

    1. Kane
    2. Aguero
    3. Play both, don't buy Hazard for -4

    Ranieri said he will choke his player if they're playing bad tonight

    Liverpool's european final still far away. And i think klopp will rotate most in gw38 to rest his players.
    I cant see he is rotating now.

    Mahrez to firmino for -4? Yay or nay

    Made up my mind, not taking Kane out for a hit

    Giving up -12 to use bench boost, as i'm trying to get into the Champs League positions of my league!

    De Gea Mignolet
    Cresswell Alderweireld Bellerin Fosu-Mensah Cook
    Sanchez Coutinho Payet Townsend King
    Aguero Carroll Defoe

    Thoughts?

      I took a -16 hit and I was top of my league by 37. Have a possible 15 players though and my rival will have to take hits too.
