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.

          Yes, it's done-He has averaged 9ppg since his comeback from injury, slight concerns are gametime/dreaded injury.

      1. Kevtheotter

        Oops you can't afford that

  12. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

  13. Back on the horse

    MASSIVE GW this week. This is where mini leagues are won and lost.

    10 pts clear in money league, 1 FT, any changes you'd make to this? BBing this week.

    de Gea - Gomes
    Cresswell - Smalling - PvA - Moreno - Azpi
    Sanchez - Mahrez - Payet - Hazard - Firmino
    Defoe - Kane - Carroll
    1FT 0.6m

    Not sure about Moreno and Firmino minutes or Kane

    can afford:
    Firmino to Cesc or Pedro
    Kane to Costa
    or Save?

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

      Firmino to Cesc Fab

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

      I'd probably stick. If you have to get rid of someone, make it Moreno I reckon

    1. BigManBakar

    3. DarsBars94

      1. siweltrebor87
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I switched back to Payet, gosh I can't decide.

  15. MedC
    • 12 Years

    Bench Kane, Kun or Sanchez?

    Cheers.

    1. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd bench Kun 😉

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

        Huge call! Cheers.

  16. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years

    Hazard looks like this DGW's Martial all over again

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Could say the same for carroll which would actually be a better comparison as he is a striker

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Haz mania has gone viral

  19. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who's likely to play both games? Both might just play one, but please humour me..

    Firmino or Sturridge?

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

      Firmino.

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        TFF, Studge to Big Andy for a hit?

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

          I'd do that yes, can't see Studge starting both.

          1. Gooner Kebab
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            cheers

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Firming more chance

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sturridge will get 100-110 mins from both games to keep his fitness levels up

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

    Mignolet or Robles, any insight much appreciated?

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Robles likely to play both games

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

      If you need GW38 keeper too, Mignolet (Howard will be in goal or Eve's last home game)

  21. shimmeronhorizons
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Would you:
    A. Take -8 hit for Toby --> Kaboul & Iwobi --> Firmino
    B. Take -8 hit for Toby --> PVA/Valencia & Iwobi --> Willian/Barkley
    C. Take -4 hit for Iwobi --> Townsend (as the headlines write themselves in GW38)?

  22. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Starting Rose over Bellerin is a no brainer, right?

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, I would definitely start Rose, although I am probably ditching for a hit.

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I would say so

  23. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Am I all set? Milner ahead of Sanchez feels wrong and Carroll (TC) feels a bit risky as I am trying to consolidate (OR 104 but would love a double digit finish 😀 )

    Robles
    Smalling, van Aanholt, Creswell
    Milner, Payet, Firmino, Hazard
    Martial, Kane, Carroll (TC)

    (Sánchez, Simpson, Gabriel, Darlow)

  24. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Milner to Mané for a hit or Spurs defence too good. 46 pts behind leader if I do but need some gambles

  25. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Still can't decide between Payet and Carroll.

    literally a coin toss situation.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      get both 🙂

      1. siweltrebor87
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I have both, it's a Triple Captain issue.

        I'm even a tad concerned I haven't brought in Noble just to cover pens and his recent goal exploits.

  26. VRP
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    De Gea
    Cresswell - Moreno - Smalling
    Hazard - Firmino - Coutinho - Payet (c)
    Rashford - Lukaku - Carroll
    (Darlow - Sanchez - Bellerin - Simpson)

    1) Should I use Bench Boost or Triple Captain?

    2) Should I take hits to trade out Coutinho and/or Lukaku?

  27. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    OK iv decided to do a -8. That took 3 days.
    0.5m short if Cresswell -payet- Carroll.

    Should I do a) PvA, payet to fit Carroll.
    Or b) defoe /Deeney to fit payet, Cresswell.

      has to be TC in DGW - massive upside

  29. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    A) Hazard and Martin
    B) Fabregas and Cresswell

    1. BigManBakar

    Sigh....torn over my TC. Currently on Payet but now leaning Carroll or Haz.
