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.

  2. MagicHatFab

    • 10 Years

    Worth doing Simpson => cresswell (-4) ?
    Would mean starting cresswell instead of bellerin or Delaney

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years

      All day long

    2. Blue&White85

  3. seamus

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

      Good option if he plays both. Dunno.

    2. James101

      But asking the same question!!!

    3. Thomas Magnum

  4. camarozz

    10 years, 1 day ago

    This Liverpool rotation is wrecking my head. And getting payet in is wrecking my head also..

    Was going - 8 to add to Sturridge and firmino.

    Am I better off to get rid completely for likes of hazard and Carroll??

    And sakko to Cresswell gives me 6 definite dgwers and keeps Kane, kun and sanchez???

    For -8 and nearest rival has hazard and Carroll and took a -8 since possibly selling kun or Kane as he now has 8.7 itb

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

      I would avoid Liverpool players

  5. JasonG123

    Good to go? Playing the correct people? 0FT, 0ITB.

    Robles
    Smalling Cresswell PvA
    Sanchez Firmino Payet (TC) Lanzini
    Aguero Kane Defoe (vc)

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

    Quick question if I may...

    I have taken one hit, but would you do this for a second aka -8pts???

    Souare ➡ PVA (-8pts)?
    Or play Bellerin?

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

      I have taken the hit

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Play Bellers.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        don't fancy sunderland CS?

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

          I have double defenders. Don't think its worth a hit though.

          1. The Red Devil
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 day ago

            planned on sakho to PVA meaning bellerin & otamendi on the bench

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

        Can't see a cleanie though, so that 2pts max.

        So I guess PVA needs a return in one game to net it off.

        Hmm, fair point.

        1. The Red Devil
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          so, you starting bellerin over PVA?

          i'm contemplating the hit, takes me to -8

          or start bellerin

    3. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I'm not sure PvA is worth the hit but I have him.

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

      It's all about the hits. More fun and higher ceiling.

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

      Also only 2 points effectively!

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

      Bring in PVA, only -2 and a high ceiling.

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

        What transfers have you already made then EVS?

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

          Brought in Carrol and Hazard, for KDB and Kane.

          Pretty standard around these parts

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

            Coutinho back to KDB next week, good luck 🙂

      1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        PvA and Simpson other two def

  11. 8ball
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    stick with Kane or Carroll (-4)

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I took the -4

    2. 50 Shades Oshea

      Carroll

    3. BigManBakar

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

    5. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Carrol

      I'm currently on Payet, but that's the safety call.

      I am VERY tempted by the other 2 but not sure which.

      Not being much help here really am I?

  13. afritho
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Morning gents,

    Would any of you play Lingard over De Bruyne and Sanchez. Currently have Sanchez on my bench but don't have much faith in Lingard.

    Thanks

    1. Wings Fan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I'd play Sanchez

  14. Gideons Rolling Another One

    What changes would you apply to this team ?

    Robles (Darlow)
    Cresswell - Smalling - PvA (Simpson - Bellerin)
    Payet(TC) - Hazard - Fabregas - Townsend (Sanchez)
    Carroll - Sturridge - Defoe

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years

      Looks class, maybe drop Danny as personally worried about mins

  16. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Start 1-
    Fuchs
    Bellerin

      fuchs

  17. jimmybob
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Dropping Kun and KDB for Defoe and Hazard. It feels really wrong going without City attackers, even though I've been screwed on rotation by Pellegrini in recent weeks. Anyone else ditching both?

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

      Yeah, I dropped them both also

    2. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I nearly did this, but decided to hold Sergio and drop Kane and kdb instead

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

      I would keep Kun

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Yep, may get one back for next week

  18. JoeJitzu +42

    TC Payet or Carroll?

    1. Epic Fail

      10 years, 1 day ago

      lol

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Payet, more game time imo Sakho, Valencia, Emenike all options to play ahead if he gets tired before game two

  19. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Who will score more in the last 2?
    1) Mitrovic
    2) Kane

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

      Kane.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Kane

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

      problem with mitrovic is game time i would say kane

  20. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    1. Give The Todd Some Love

      People are bringing in Pool players?

    2. Kryten

      Agree and I am a Liverpool fan maybe advise to many better safe options

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years

      Likewise. Keep clear.

    4. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO

    Looks like i already have climbed a few ranks with no hits. Almost everyone taken a hit around these parts.

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

      Your team looks awesome for this week.

      I've resisted a hit all week, but really tempted by Ozil -> Hazard so may end up on -4 before the deadline.

      Would mean benching Kane, Aguero or Mahrez though, so I'm 50/50.

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

        Looks can be deceptive Slarti.

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

          No sh!t, Sherlock 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Good luck for the GW

    2. Ivanov Itch
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Same boat, feels good but I'm seriously considering taking a -8 to field 10 dgw players instead of 8..

      Can't pull the trigger, may flip a coin

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

      I think holding off on your WC in 34 turned out to be a very shrewd move

    Does anybody have any further suggestions or am I good to go? It's tricky... Payet or Hazard for the TC armband?

    --------------------- de Gea ---------------------
    ---- van Aanholt -- Cresswell -- Simpson ----
    -- Lanzini -- Payet (TC) -- Willian -- Hazard --
    ---------- Kane -- Deeney -- Defoe ----------

    -- Subs: Darlow, Mahrez, Bellerín, Gabriel

    A.) PVA or Valencia?

    B.) Costa or Rash or Martial or Studge or Lukaku?

      A) PVA
      B) Costa

      PVA

      Not the best bunch, but I have Martial and am ok with it.

    Bench boost team:
    Gomes, Mannone
    PVA, Smalling, Cresswell, Azpilicueta, Bellerin
    Mahrez, Payet, Townsend, Hazard, Sanchez
    Kane, Carroll, Defoe

    Is it worth transferring Bellerin to Lovren for free or save transfer?

    Bottomed! Hopefully can get an opinion or two on this, doing my head in atm!

    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

      I like 1 more then 2 but 1 comes with its risks Kane is the safe option and Sturridge is the risk it just depends you risky you feel

    What's the hype on Martin (Norwich)? Selected among this week's picks.

      he scores goals.

    Start Darlow or Robles?

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years

      Robles - 2 games are better than one.

      same problem for me. howard needs 2 appearances to make 400 so i reckon they give him 2 of the remaining 3 games.

    Is Milner still on penalties (if on the pitch)?
    Was thinking of a sideways switch Milner -> Firmino.

    But may as well stick with "boring" Milner and hope Firmino has one of those games where he looks good but ends up with no FPL points.

    1. Lionel Ronaldo

        In the same boat. Have enough for Milner -> Haz also. What do you think?

      If you could bring in any midfielder this week, money no option, and not including Payet or Hazard, who would it be??

        Mane for a punt. Firmino for the DGW points
