The wise counsel of Paddy Power is back to guide us to learned teamsheet decisions with a hearty slice of anytime scorer and clean sheet odds thrown in.

And there’s more than a few tempting deals for new customers on offer this week from Paddy, although not quite as tasty as the one Paul Hollywood’s squeezed out of Channel 4.

Leicester might only have one away win to their name this season – the movie reference that is in Bruges – but the 16-1 on offer for them to beat United could make you a killing. You can also get 5-1 on the United win.

There’s also 16-1 available for a treble on Spurs, Everton and Liverpool all to win – generous indeed for a trio in such prime form.

If you’re intent on watching this evening’s kick-off, wincing with every Diego Costa challenge, you can spice things up further with odds of 8/1 on an Arsenal win or 10/1 on a triumph for Antonio Conte’s men.

Five league matches, five wins – no-one’s in better form than Man City, so 5-1 on them beating Swansea looks more than doable, while Southampton at West Ham could go either way, but 8-1 for the Saints to march away with a victory is well worth a look.

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.

And so on to the meat in your Paddy pie.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 6

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.53
Ibrahimovic MUN 1.90
Origi LIV 1.90
Mane LIV 1.90
De Bruyne MCI 2.10
Firmino LIV 2.10
Iheanacho MCI 2.10
Coutinho LIV 2.25
Lukaku EVE 2.25
Ighalo WAT 2.40
Janssen TOT 2.40
Costa CHE 2.40
Benteke CRY 2.50
Giroud ARS 2.50
Austin SOT 2.50
Deeney WAT 2.62
Iwobi ARS 2.70
Sanchez ARS 2.70
Rashford MUN 2.80
Bony STK 2.80

He’s back and his odds are as short as his legs. Yep, Sergio Aguero (1.53) returns from his three-match ban primed and ready to add to his three league goals for the season and maybe cost Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin his job while he’s about it.

If you fancy your legs longer (and ego bigger), Zlatan (1.90) will be looking to punish a Leicester defence that’s coughed up five goals in two away matches so far. Marcus Rashford (2.80) is a longer shot but he’s on it – a goal in his first league start last time out and another in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Romelu Lukaku (2.25) also has form on his side, and Bournemouth in his sights. The big Belgian has four goals in two matches which, coincidentally, is the same amount (from the same matches) that the Cherries have shipped at home.

And never discount Diego Costa (2.50) against Arsenal. He might be about as welcome at the Emirates as a Fancy Bear at an NHS data protection meeting, but he’s got five in five in the league and after getting most of the Gunners sent off last season, fate almost demands that he’ll do more damage this afternoon.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 6

Team Odds
Liverpool 1.72
Manchester City 2.10
Manchester United 2.29
Tottenham 2.50
Stoke 2.70
Everton 2.70
Watford 2.87
Crystal Palace 3.10
Burnley 3.10
Sunderland 3.20

Clean sheets have been a bit of a rarity this season and the odds reflect it.

Man City (2.10) have managed just the one so far, in last week’s mauling of Bournemouth, but Swansea are averaging less than a goal a game and have already drawn two blanks, one of which was at home.

United have two shut-outs to their name but have conceded five in their last two matches, so 2.29 looks a bit meagre for visit of Leicester. The Foxes might have failed to win on the road in the league, but they’ve not failed to score in either defeat.

Everton (2.70) have won three in a row, and two of them involved clean sheets, so they look a more attractive proposition, particularly against a Bournemouth outfit with just three goals to their name.

And Burnley have kept things tight at home – one clean sheet and just two goals conceded in three matches – so their 3.10 price is tempting. If they can stop the ten-goal Watford juggernaut, that is.

    Pick 2 please.

    A) Coutinho (have Firmino)
    B) Townsend
    C) Capoue

  2. DameCorp
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Double up on Everton defence with Williams?

    Or go with Stones/Lovren

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I've gone coleman + stones

  3. dujajebach
    10 years, 26 days ago

    austin or rondon? they both play against weak defences

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Id go Austin.
      Slightly favourable fixtures

      1. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I think Charlie might be a very good shout.

        I am too conservative to go for it and want to see some more first.

        Wish I had bigger ones.

    Shayne Given chooses.... Shay Given as sub-goalkeeper

    Battle of the Beige.

    Play Barkley or Redmond?

    1. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Redmond for me.

  6. bros
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Who to captain Ibra or Kun?

    Thanks

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 26 days ago

      You know the popular answer.

      1. bros
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Yeah, gut says Ibra will do the business today though

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Go with Ibra then. You already know everyone will say Kun.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Kun

  7. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Is Charlie Daniels on any set pieces?

  8. ebb2sparky
    10 years, 26 days ago

    On my WC and want Sanchez long term but given Arsenals record vs Chelsea I'm wondering whether it might be worth having mane, sterling or KDB just for this week? Already have Firmino and Aguero. I'll probably just go Sanchez so I've got a free transfer next week but interested what others think.

    1. Saniul
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Probably a good idea to have KDB for this week.

    2. Karan_G14
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Was thinking the same but no point wasting FT next week with CL and IT break coming up. Sanchez No9 fancy him to get a goal against Chelsea's not so solid defence.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Sterling

    4. Pariße
      10 years, 25 days ago

      That's what I'm planning, good idea.

      Don't bench Capoue?

      1. S.Agueroooooo
        10 years, 25 days ago

        How does he do this with that team? Lol

  11. :
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Would a good player double up with Everton defence? They seem a lot tighter this season and Williams (5.0) and Jags (5.1) seem good value.

    Had Williams & Lovren till I read these rumours.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Don't like defensive double ups

    2. MGD
      10 years, 25 days ago

      No baines? on pens, corners, fks.

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Where did news about lovern not starting come from.who starts instead?

    1. SirStevieG
      10 years, 26 days ago

      It would be Klavan.

  13. pleccy
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Snodgrass / Chadlli / Antonio / Bolasie?

    Thoughts?

      Snodgrass

      A

    5. Jafalad
      10 years, 25 days ago

      A. Costa is a walking time bomb.

  15. MGD
    10 years, 26 days ago

    capoue or antonio to bench?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Still Antonio

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Capoue*

        The question has been reversed 😉

        1. THE Wild Rover
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Lol 😀

          Capoue

        1. MGD
          10 years, 25 days ago

          haha sorry..

          thankss guys

  16. Rinseboy
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Right after the disaster of the last page post. Who's going Rashford over Deeney?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I am.

    2. Park the bus
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I considered it but think I will be going for Deeney. Rashford likely to be playing out wide

  17. Teahupo'o
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Locked and Loaded. Let's do this.

    Foster
    Valencia Stones Baines
    Firmino Mane(V) Redmond Antonio
    Costa Aguero(C) Lukaku

    (Jaku, Capoue Friend Smith)

  18. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Morning...think i'm going Barry 5th mid...altho it means i wont be able to get Bolaise down the line.

    Need to decide on Valencia ->
    a) Lovren (not encouraged by Berba's line up)
    b) Smith (pretty reliant on attacking returns!)
    c) Holebas (seems silly given his injury)

  19. Puyol Pants Up
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Not many bothering whether Shaw will start?

  20. Defcons are for Kinnear
    10 years, 25 days ago

    So this GWs deadline decision is Lovren

    1. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 25 days ago

      *Keep Holebas or switch

  21. tissae
    10 years, 25 days ago

    G2G??

    Foster
    Williams - Shaw - McAuley
    Hazard - Antonio - Capoue - Sterling
    Deeney - Kun(c) - Lukaku

    Bench : Jaku - Ozil - Amat - Holebas

    1. La Roja
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Ozil benched ???

      1. tissae
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Do I bench Capoue and get screwed once again ?

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I'd put Amat as 3rd sub, Shaw might not play and I still think Holebas has a chance on Monday night.

  22. Twelve years a slave
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Firmino rumours starting again ,

    1. La Roja
      10 years, 25 days ago

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 25 days ago

  23. The class of 92
    10 years, 25 days ago

    A) Koscielny & Snodgrass
    B) Evans & Antonio

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Depends on the rest of your team I guess, but Arsenal's upcoming fixtures are too good to ignore.

  24. AMP
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Good morning

    Pls help

    Lovren or Mc Auley?
    and Rashford or Deeney...

    Cheers

  25. SirStevieG
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Pickford or Foster? (have McAuley)

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Pickford, spread the risk

  26. Hi I'm Jose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Two questions;

    - Will Fab start?
    - Should I do Hazard to Firmino/Mane?

    1. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 25 days ago

      - Don't think so.
      - If it's for free, yes.

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Walker worth the extra 0.3 over Vertonghen?

    1. Zlatan Time
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yes, more attacking threat.

  28. CCaddy
    10 years, 25 days ago
