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.

    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
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

      1. doowral
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I mean to the bench for this GW

    2. 24hrstudent
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Bench Capoue

    3. Jafalad
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Jooi, did the AOA work for you?

      Drop Capone. His run cometh to an end shortly.

    4. Zlatan Time
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Capoue probably...

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

      Deeney

  2. Zlatan Time
    10 years, 25 days 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
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Looks good. But isn't Holebas a doubt?

      1. Zlatan Time
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Yep, not planning on playing him this week though.

    2. mad_beer ✅
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I like it.

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

      1. Zlatan Time
        10 years, 25 days ago

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

        1. JogaSemmedo
          10 years, 25 days 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
            10 years, 25 days ago

            Agreed.

    3. mahone24
      10 years, 25 days 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
        10 years, 25 days 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
    10 years, 25 days 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
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Possible pens.

      1. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
        10 years, 25 days ago

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

  4. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Jaku dropped?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 25 days ago

      https://goo.gl/6EE7KI

      Possibly

      1. MTPockets
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks for the link

    2. Jafooli
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

  5. reason17
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Who to start:
    A) stones
    B) Defoe

  6. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 25 days 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, 25 days 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 Wild Rover
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Capoue your 4th mid I assume?

        1. reason17
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Capoue is my 5th mid, Antonio is fourth

    2. Zlatan Time
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

  7. Jafooli
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Is it snowing anywhere else in the UK?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Get some head and shoulders 😉

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Joe Hart, is that you?

    2. Clump
      10 years, 25 days ago

      You been at the cooking sherry again Jaf?

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Had Brill Cream for dinner last night, did not realise how tasty it was.

        1. Clump
          10 years, 25 days ago

          🙂

      You're gonna hate louvren....

  9. Bolasie
    10 years, 25 days ago

    A, Lukaku and Capoue(4th mid)
    B, Deeney and Bolasie

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

      A by miles IMO

    2. MrInbetween
      10 years, 25 days ago

      B

  10. Ber2k
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days 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
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

      1. Ber2k
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 25 days ago

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

    2. Clump
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Decent tactic.

  11. Dark_Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days 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.

  12. Bow Locks
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Firminhno

  13. TheTinman
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Replace Lovren:

    5.8m to spend. On a wc

    1. MrMaverick
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Miguel britos, cbi machine going under the radar

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Why are you replacing Lovren?

  14. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. Gunner77-
      10 years, 25 days ago

      A

  15. bring_on _the_fantasy
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Bolasie does

    2. Clump
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Who they got in goal??

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

      What do they know?!

  16. Gunner77-
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Stones or Lovren on WC?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

  17. @persecuted_by_mods
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Lads, play AOA to fit hazard in?

    Which 2 defs would you bench?

    McAuley Valencia Stones Baines

  18. MrMaverick
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. TheTinman
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Like whi

      1. MrMaverick
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I prefer kone, holebas, britos to lovren

    2. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
      10 years, 25 days ago

      No idea. As if Liverpool's defence is good.

  19. GoonerByron
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Good to go?

    Foster
    Valencia - Baines - Holebas
    Sanchez - Firmino - Antonio - Bolasie
    Lukaku - Kun (c) - Benteke

    Subs - Jaku, Capoue, Stones, Amat

    1. Gunner77-
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yes

  20. Mikey44
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. MrMaverick
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

    2. mad_beer ✅
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

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

      1. Mikey44
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Well my gut says Mane too, so let's do it!

  21. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Which one looks better?

    A. Coleman + Evans (Have Foster)

    B. Williams + Stones

  22. bring_on _the_fantasy
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

  23. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Lovren or Smith?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

    2. Black Panther
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Lovren.

    3. Gunner77-
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Lovren

  24. Black Panther
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Who to play:
    A) Heaton
    B) Pickford

    1) Pieters
    2) Evans

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

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 25 days ago

      A2

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

      B2

  25. umerlfc
    10 years, 25 days ago

    I guess I'm all set with this WC Team

    Heaton - (Pickford)

    Clyne - Baines - PVA - (Holebas - Amat)

    Firmino(VC) - Antonio - Chadli - Capoue - (Snodgrass)

    Aguero(C) - Ibra - Lukaku

  26. JasonG123
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Baines or Coleman?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Baines

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 25 days ago

      B

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

      Baines on penalties (perhaps).

    4. Gunner77-
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Baines

  27. Sponge-worthy
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Play jakupovic (liv) or Valdez (TOT)?

    1. Gunner77-
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Valdes

  28. Rinseboy
    10 years, 25 days ago

    @epicfail are you going Rashford boy?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Aye. Sitting in my team as we speak.

      1. Rinseboy
        10 years, 25 days ago

        OK me too seems a decent punt

  29. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Deeney or Capoue to start?

    Current team is:

    Pickford
    Walker-williams-evans
    Alexis-sterling-firm-antonio
    Deeney-kun-kaku
    (Foster; capoue, holebas, amat)

    Cheers and GL this GW!

  30. Wings Fan
    10 years, 25 days ago

    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

    1. reason17
      10 years, 25 days ago
