For the last time this season, we skulk outside Paddy Power’s door in an attempt to extract a final few strands of information to guide our deadline decisions.

Before we scan Paddy’s odds for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if you’re yet to secure your own Paddy Power account, you can do so today and snap up one of several enhanced new customer offers.

Today’s acca tops the bill with odds of 25/1 on wins for Man City at Swansea, Man United over Bournemouth, Southampton against Crystal Palace and Spurs at Newcastle.

There’s also a final day double which offers the same odds of 25/1 on wins for West Ham at Stoke and Liverpool at West Brom.

If you’d rather chance your arm on individual matches, you can get 12/1 on Leicester to win at Chelsea, or 14/1 on a victory for Sunderland at Watford.

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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 38

Paddy have again earmarked Sergio Aguero (1.52) as the most likely scorer in the Gameweek. Given that the former Atletico Madrid marksman has netted in his previous six starts, it’s perhaps no real surprise. He’ll be striving to breach a Swansea City back line that has conceded nine goals in four match-ups but, while Manchester City are looking to stave off United’s challenge for fourth spot, it remains to be seen if Manuel Pellegrini’s men will go for goals or settle for the point they need.

In light of Arsenal’s potentially profitable home encounter against Aston Villa, Alexis Sanchez (1.61), Olivier Giroud (1.61), Theo Walcott (1.90) and Alex Iwobi (1.90) all feature very highly in Paddy’s assessment, with goals expected at the Emirates. Although the Villains’ defensive travails are well documented, it’s worth noting that the Gunners have bagged just six strikes in their last five outings. Nonetheless, Paddy are backing them strongly to rout Eric Black’s relegated side.

Perhaps optimistically, Romelu Lukaku (1.72) ranks fourth before Everton’s Goodison Park meeting with Norwich City. The Belgium international is in the midst of eight successive blanks and is playing for a team that charted third-bottom for key passes (46) across their previous quartet of match-ups.

Southampton’s Shane Long and Graziano Pelle have all been tipped at 1.80 for Crystal Palace’s visit to Southampton. The Saints have notched more goals than any team (11) in their last four fixtures and will face an Eagles squad that is surely focused on next weekend’s FA Cup final. Sadio Mane is also included in Paddy’s top bracket, ranked at 2.20 for an anytime goal – only Arsenal’s cast of options can better those odds amongst midfielders.

Talking of midfielders, having switched to a deeper role for United, it’s surprising to see that Wayne Rooney (1.83) ranked so highly ahead of his meeting with Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Rooney has failed to grace the scoresheet since Gameweek 24 and both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial (2.00) look stronger prospects.

Harry Kane betters the odds of that United pair ahead of Tottenham’s trip to St James’ Park. Kane has scored an impressive six goals in his last four road trips, while Mauricio Pochettino’s men have the incentive of holding off the challenge of Arsenal for runners-up spot, ensuring that Spurs and Kane should show intent on Tyneside.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 38

Team Odds
Arsenal 1.61
Southampton 1.90
Manchester United 2.00
Manchester City 2.62
Watford 2.75
Tottenham 2.80
Everton 3.00
Chelsea 3.50
West Ham 3.60

Aston Villa have drawn blanks in six of their last nine fixtures, ensuring that Arsenal (1.61) are clear favourites for a shut-out at the Emirates with some of the shortest clean sheets odds we’ve seen this term.

Southampton (1.90) claim the silver-medal berth as they attempt to silence a Palace attack that’s registered three blanks in five league ties. The Eagles are expected to field a much-changed side for the south coast trip, while Ronald Koeman’s side are the Premier League’s in-form outfit along with champions Leicester.

Paddy clearly fancy Man United (2.00) to suppress Bournemouth, who have mustered just six goals in their last seven outings. United’s home defence is the best in the league and with David de Gea bidding for the Golden Glove, Louis van Gaal’s men have every incentive to earn a shut-out as they look to claim an unlikely Champions League berth ahead of rivals City.

City (2.62) themselves are ranked next but are some way behind in Paddy’s reckoning. Manuel Pellegrini’s side will do well to see off a Swans attack that has racked up seven goals in their previous two fixtures.

Watford’s odds have crept in from 3.20 to 2.75, no doubt as a result of talk from Sam Allardyce that he plans to play a youthful Sunderland lineup having seen his side secure top flight safety in midweek.

Tottenham (2.80) have conceded the fewest away goals (15) and match up against a Newcastle side that failed to score at Villa, while Everton (3.00) are priced somewhat generously against Norwich when you consider that they’ve managed a solitary shut-out since Gameweek 26.

    20 pts ahead in ML, Have Mignolet, Payet, Couthino. Still 1FT. Should I avoid taking an extra -4 by getting rid of 2

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho > Mane

  2. Sicaholic

    DDG
    Smalling Bellerin
    Payet Lanzini Hazard Iwobi Coutinho
    Martial Defoe Aguero
    1.8 ITB (playing AOA)

    was planning to do for -8
    OUT: ageuro, coutinho, iwobi
    IN: Giroud, sanchez, Mane.

    with the payet injury news should i just go ahead and play cresswell off the bench, or
    OUT: Countinho, Payet
    IN: Sanchez, Tadic (-4)

    Thanks!

          With us, you've got to put certain things in certain skips.

          It's a logistical nightmare?

          Do you think I should make this a hot topic 😆 ???

          1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Repost. Chasing in my ML with 28pts behind. Have just one player which my rival has too - Townsend
    A) 10 differentials is enough
    B) take for -4 Arnautovic/Eriksen/Mane (which from those, have Tadic)

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A and captain one of them

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanx

  6. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any Sanchez owners captaining anyone else?

    Anyone brave enough to throw it on Lukaku?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not him Aguero is my vice.

    2. boredjames
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't captain Lukaku over Sanchez...

    3. Cordomver
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Got Sanchez but putting captain on Kun

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud, just fancy him to score more but its eenie meenie miney mo

  7. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Repost as I got bottomed :

    What would you do with this team?

    De gea (Hennessey)
    PVA, Gabriel, bellerin (Delaney, simpson)
    Hazard, Sanchez (c), payet, Townsend (firmino)
    Deeney, Aguero, Carroll

    I was thinking something ballsy like hazard, firmino, deeney > tadic, mane, kelechi (-8)

    1. Sonnybillarfa
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino & Payet to Tadic & Mane if you need to punt

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would remove Carroll instead and make those moves.

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      safe - Firmino -> Tadic
      more punty - Firmino + Payet --> MAne + Tadic
      desperate looking for punt and chasing --> Firmino + Payet + Deeney --> MAne + Tadic + Ikenachio

  8. Rabbinton
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2 of 4 to start with min 1 defender?

    a) PVA
    b) Cresswell
    c) Lennon
    d) King

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

  9. Sonnybillarfa
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ny news on sunderland squad?

    I have Payet, Moreno, Defoe, Kaboul & PVA.

    Wondering if I need to take a hit to get 11 out

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno and Kaboul probably won't play. Possibly PvA and Payet too. Defoe has the best chance from that lot I reckon.

      1. Sonnybillarfa
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I can do Moreno to Bellerin for -4 and I have Lanzini so I might just cross my fingers and hope for a Defoe hat-trick off the bench

  10. Takedog1
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Still can't see anything about payet being injured. What's everyone doing???

    1. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Check scout tweets. I'm still unsure on the reliability of the given source.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Keeping until I hear something concrete like him not getting off team bus.

  11. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Someone shed some light on my DDG/Forster dilemma 🙁 🙁

    Also have Smalling. Asked last page but it is pretty 50/50 🙁

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Forster in that case.

      1. Takedog1
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Rival owns Forster and is 20 points ahead of me ... Does that change anything?

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Even Ddg won't get 20 pts today!

          Ddg in this case now tho!

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

          Go big with double CS or go home with none 😛

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            😆 Thanks

    3. Sonnybillarfa
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Forster was absolute pish for me this season so I would go DDG but that's cause I'm bitter

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lol, thanks.

    4. 1NVINCIBLES
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Forster.

      1. 1NVINCIBLES
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry just read your rival also has Forster. DDG to win it then. Good luck Jazz! 😀

      2. Jazz!

    5. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely DDG in this case. Who knows, he may save a pen?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😀 Thanks

  12. DanwiseTheBrave

    What if Payet just took his own car to Stoke?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      With a broken leg in crutches-I don't think so!
      😉

    2. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Did he not travel?

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

    Owning lanzini, but not iwobi, suddenly feels not so nice

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure, looks a good backup now for Payet/pool owners.

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

        Yes, agreed, but out of the 2 who'd you think is a better backup?
        Earlier I thought lanzini, now think iwobi

    2. Tronity
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prefer Lanzini with 2 Arsenal defenders and Sanchez, over Iwobi!

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

        I have Sanchez and bellerin
        Now Carroll and lanzini (if payet out)

        1. Tronity
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah same as me (I also have Gabriel)
          Lanzini is a decent player to have if Payet isn't playing.

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

            Need all the luck on my side tonight!

    4. bigbudgie

      Pure speculation at best, at worst inflammatory nonsense

      1. Weasel51

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet: 100%
    Robles: 100%
    Caroll: 25%
    ----
    defoe: ?
    Mignolet: ???
    Firmino: 50% ???
    Delaney: ???
    Gabriel:???
    Mane: ???
    Please add a reason with your prediction 😉

      Gabriel will play, Mertesacker out injured. Defoe and Mignolet doubtful, but a possibility they will play. Mané and Carroll I believe will play. Firmino and Payet will probably not play. Robles will not play. Delaney I don't know about.

    Am 8 ahead in ML.

    Is Defoe and Costa out for Giroud and Vardy (-4) a sensible move? Or should I keep the 4 puts and just make 1 transfer?

    Cheers

    1. Sylas

      Just get Giroud for Costa.

    Can't believe Eurovision still gets a prime time BBC1 slot on Saturday night.

    It's basically turned into a big gay pride festival with largely rubbish songs and voting based primarily on politics or bias towards neighbours.

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      a song about russian genocide, nothing political there

    2. Zizoulicious

      I refuse to believe people actually watch it
