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.

    Milner to Willian -8

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You have to think of each transfer separately. So Milner to Willian for -4 sounds ok.

    2. Owusu90
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not worth it imo

  5. Aarono23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Current 3 Captain options are Firmino, Sturridge or Noble. I currently have the C on Noble. Right thing to do or too much risk?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Too much risk. Go with Firmino he'll start both but won't finish both. He can get you handsome returns.

    2. Del Griffiths
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It is risky but I like it. Hammers have to go for it and he's playing a bit further forward.

    3. Sjaugen

      Kane or Carroll for the hit. Leaning Kane for the golden boot

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I've sold Kane for Defoe

        Already have Carroll

        1. Sjaugen

          The 34 burn keeps popping up

  7. Lizard Lips

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else TC Hazard or TC Defoe?

  8. Goldèn
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on Hoolahan as a punt? Think he's gonna start both? Cheers

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        9 DGWers. I have Mignolet on the bench. I couldn't decide between him and Robles but went Robles in the end.

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

          Yeah Mings may be rotated too

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

      -8 for 9 DGWs. Meh.

    4. JAC THE CAT

    Hennesy,
    Simpson, Toby, Cresswell,
    Payet, Hazard, Mahrez, Milner
    Kun, Carrol, Martial
    (Smike, Ozil, Gabriel)

    Already on -8. Would you:
    A, Simpson> PVA/Smalling
    B, Schmichel> DDG
    C, Save

  11. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ighalo to Carroll for a -4 worth it?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The hype is making it tempting but I would hesitate for a hit.

  12. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is Willian likely to play both games? i.e Milner > Willian - 4 (or play Sanchez)

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking the same, I think he will.

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

        Hello again. I have moved on from the Milner or Sanchez decision 😆

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but I'd keep Milner.

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

        Cheers Beavis. Would you play Milner over Sanchez?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Erm....probably for the potential but wouldn't surprise me if it backfired.

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

            Cheers 😆

    3. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Milner only played one match last DGW and Klopp loves to rotate.

  13. Sean.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A, Cresswell + Sanchez
    B, PVA + Lanzini

      A.

  14. Lizard Lips

      B.

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I did Simpson > Ivan for a hit so I would say Smalling.

  15. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Rivals both gave Carroll, I don't
    I'm chasing... Get Carroll or punt on Costa or Deeney

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

      Deeney.

    2. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

      Cheers lads

    5. Paganoi
      • 11 Years

      TC Deeney. Fortune favors the brave lol.

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

    Big help needed have closed a massive gap down to only 35 points.

    Trying to think will my friend use the tc on payet or Sanchez next week and should I use it on someone else then like carroll?

    What would you do with this team ?

    Robles*
    Lovern* Clyne* PVA* Smalling*
    Nasri Coutinho* Payet*
    Martial* Defoe* Aguero

    Subs Darlow Sanchez Iwobi Bellerin

    Thinking aguero and nasri out for likes of hazard and caroll?

    Appreciate pool players may not play twice but I already own them so may as well keep em ???????

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nasri may play so I'd keep

      Aguero to Carroll and upgrade one Lpool defs to Cresswell

  17. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A.) Gabriel --------> Kirchoff

    Or

    B.) Gabriel and Kane ------> PVA and Martial/Rash/Sturridge/Costa

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Grabs worth keeping for 38?

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd keep Gabriel for Villa unless you're planning on bringing in an ARS attacker for him next week

  18. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Alli + Kane ------> Redmond + Defoe (-4)

    Leader in ML is going with a -4 and will probably TC Payet.
    2nd took a -12 and will prob TC Payet too.

    I might try be bold with Carroll (c) on BB.

    Worth taking a -8 to do Mahrez -----> Hazard or Aguero -----> Deeney?

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would do Mahrez to Hazard. But I also did Kun to Deeney. 🙂

      Sanchez

  24. St. Joseph

    Mahrez to firmino for -4

    Do it or leave it?

      Do it.

    2. Kryten

      Nah mahrez could do well to many other Liverpool players hogging fermino points

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Leave it. Not worth the risk on a player with a high probability of not starting.

      Decent, not sure about Manone...

      Would Payet be better for the armband? Unless you're chasing mini league?

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Ivan, just have great memories of Sunderland defence getting 20 points in their DGW last season with unexpected clean sheets so thought why not, and it's better than Everton for sure.

        I did a -4 to take out sturridge for Defoe as not sure he will play both games.

        Currently chasing first place who is 15 points ahead, have no chips left and i gain nothing playing it safe currently (third place locked in)

  27. Ivanov Itch
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Used my 2 ft this week happy with the team with 8 dgw players..

    1. Is Kane to Sturridge worth a -4? Or Costa or Deeney? Got Carrol and Defoe as well

    2. Is Toby to PVA worth a -4? Got Cresswell Moreno and Morgan as well

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years

      I was debating Kane or sturridge out for Defoe, went with sturridge as Klopp will probably play the reserves this weekend, and then it's sturridge vs a Chelsea team coming into form. Yes Kane doesn't hve dembele but the whole team is fighting for 2nd.

      Are you bench boosting? Seems pointless to do a transfer when you already have 3 decent playing defenders

    Gomes
    Fuchs - van Aarnholt - Simpson
    Hazard - Payet - Townsend - Lanzini
    Aguero - Carroll - Sturridge

    Hart - Sanchez - Bellerin - Gabriel

    Already taken -4 for this side. 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

    (a) Smalling
    (b) PVA / Valencia (allows Coutinho to KDB next week)

    -20

    1. Simpson > Cresswell
    2. Rose > Smalling
    3. Lanzini > Townsend
    4. Bollasie > Payet
    5. Kun > Deeney

    Any of these not worth a -4, mostly single to double GW players so -2

      3 is risky, as is 5.
