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.

RashfordMUN2.80

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

TeamOdds
Liverpool1.72
Manchester City2.10
Manchester United2.29
Tottenham2.50
Stoke2.70
Everton2.70
Watford2.87
Crystal Palace3.10
Burnley3.10
Sunderland3.20

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.

    Having a dilemma, need to drop one of:

    Sanchez (Che, H)
    Sterling (Swa, A)
    Antonio (Sou, H)
    Firmino (Hul, H)
    Capone (Bur, A)
    Deeney (Bur, A)
    Ibrahimovic (Lei, H)
    Lukaku (Bou, A)

    And no, all out attack I've already played. Suggestions?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You're not really considering all of them as candidates for the drop are you?

      1. doowral
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I mean to the bench for this GW

    2. 24hrstudent
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Capoue

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Jooi, did the AOA work for you?

      Drop Capone. His run cometh to an end shortly.

    4. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Capoue probably...

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Deeney

  2. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    RMWCT:

    Heaton - (Pickford)
    Walker - Williams - McAuley - (Holebas) - (Amat)
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - (Marney)
    Aguero - Lukaku - Rashford

    Hope my Rashford punt pays off - thanks in advance...

    1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good. But isn't Holebas a doubt?

      1. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, not planning on playing him this week though.

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I like it.

      I think you already know you are taking a punt with Rashford that could end badly.

      1. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can easily transfer Rashford to Deeney if it doesn't pay off. Watford have nice fixtures aswell.

        1. JogaSemmedo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Dont see why it would end badly? As you say can switch to Deeney.

          Fwiw I got same front 7 and think Rashford will be a sure starter now. Martial out and doubts on Rooney fitness. Jose needs goals and pace in attack

          1. Zlatan Time
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed.

    3. mahone24
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Im still stuck making the move away from Zlatan but my Ibra-less WC draft is almost exactly the same as this which means I can't decide if I like it or not!

      1. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Watching all our games this season, Rashford adds something different. he runs with the ball and has no fear. If he starts its a no brainer.

  3. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any reason to pick Daniels (4.9) over Smith (4.6)? Is the former on any set pieces, better stats, something?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Possible pens.

      1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Have Bournemouth not won a penalty yet this season?

  4. Koflok
    • 13 Years

    Jaku dropped?

        He will be if he does it too often.....

    2. reason17
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Who to start:
      A) stones
      B) Defoe

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Antonio scores goals because he has a lot of chances, Capoue scores goals because he converts all of his few chances. Not rocket science to guess who has the best chance of sustaining the form so why arev so many asking which to bench? 😕

      1. reason17
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'm not sure why you believe which one should be kept :S

        Both seem like tantalising propositions (i am starting both)

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Capoue your 4th mid I assume?

          1. reason17
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Capoue is my 5th mid, Antonio is fourth

      2. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers Rover, this is so true, Capoue went out on my WC. Took the profit and run with it.

    4. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is it snowing anywhere else in the UK?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Get some head and shoulders 😉

        1. Jafooli
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Joe Hart, is that you?

    7. Ber2k
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rate this. Trying to be a bit different in defence and look for attacking potential rather than hope for clean sheets.

      Pickford/Jakupovic

      Clyne/van Aanholt/Coleman/Holebas/M.Wilson

      Sanchez/Sterling/Firmino/Antonio/Capoue

      Aguero/Lukaku/Rashford

      1. Dark_Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Wilsons going to upset you, as will Rashford perhaps, but I like it

        1. Ber2k
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Wilson is a spare for now. Hoping he can break into Bournemouth XI but his price is stable just now.

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Decent tactic.

    8. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      With Ibras .1 drop, palace fixtures and all things going well this GW, after the GW contemplating either:

      A: Tekkers and Sanchez to Ibra and Firmino (although arsenal fixtures look epic)

      Or just B: benteke to Slimani

      Probably b. Best laid plans. Let's see what happens.

    9. Bow Locks
      • 16 Years

      Firminhno

    10. TheTinman

    11. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Start:
      A) Lamela (using all out attack chip)
      B) McAulay

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A

    12. bring_on _the_fantasy

      The Times has got Firmino on the bench? Sturridge starting!

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It's lucky the Times don't pick the lineup.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Bolasie does

        2. Clump
          • 11 Years

          Who they got in goal??

      2. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Stones or Lovren on WC?

        1. MTPockets
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Gone with stones, could be a mistake.
            Just not convinced about liv defender either.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Lads, play AOA to fit hazard in?

            Which 2 defs would you bench?

            McAuley Valencia Stones Baines

          • MrMaverick
            • 9 Years

            why is lovren part of most of your teams? he is 4.9, better 4.5s out there imo

            Really struggling between Mane and Firmino, anyone got any stats or insight to sway me one way or the other?

            1. MrMaverick
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              0.6 difference was the firmino winner for me but very tight between them

              • 11 Years

              Nearly identical. I could show you if you were a member.

              This one is go with your gut. I chose Mane.

                • 16 Years

            Which one looks better?

            A. Coleman + Evans (Have Foster)

            B. Williams + Stones

            No talk on RONDON at all..... playing the weakest team in the league so far?

            1. Count of Monte Hristo
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Would be more of a 1 week punt. Deeney has a run of fixtures.

            • 16 Years

            1. Count of Monte Hristo
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              This was my last choice to make, i've gone for Lovren.

            2. Black Panther
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Lovren.

          • Black Panther
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Who to play:

            B) Pickford

            1) Pieters
            2) Evans

            Currently on Pickford and Evans but bookies odds favour Heaton and Pieters.

            Two questions:

            1. Sterling or Firmino?

            2. Deeney or Rashford?

            I have Aguero and Capoue as 4th mid if that has an impact. No other Pool or United
