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.

    Kdb just for this week then transfer for sanchez? Can't see arsenal doing well against chelsea given their record

    1. faver
      10 years, 25 days ago

      It wont be 0:0 draw, luiz can do wonders for Alexis. I pulled the trigger this weekend

    Thoughts on my wildcard team:

    Pickford Jaku
    Baines Clyne Holebas Smith Amat
    KDB Sterling Firmino Antonio Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney

    £0.5m ITB for KDB to Sanchez.

    1. Pellegrini Falcon
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Presume you'll continue benching Capoue then? Not that there's anything wrong with that

    2. Footballfriend
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Very Nice team, wish I'd my wildcard still to do something like it! Nothing I'd change besides maybe WBA defensive coverage but even then that's so minor

  3. Camp No No
    10 years, 25 days ago

    So who are the nailed-on Watford defenders?

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

  7. Footballfriend
    10 years, 25 days ago

    I so badly want rid of Haz and go get Sanchez but I already used my FT for Kun and I can't straight swap, I need to make up about 1.1 (Barkley -> Bolasie in mind) but it would require a -8 hit this week, go Barkley -> Bos for a -4 and Haz to Sanchez next week?

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

      Do it

    2. Brap.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Stick with Haz

      1. Footballfriend
        10 years, 25 days ago

        In the long term? Barkley to bolasie to free up funds for a -4 you reckon?

  8. Arteta
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Is anyone on wc going with both Mane and Firmino?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I would if I was on a wc definitely

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

      Good idea

    3. faver
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Few done that here I believe. Not a fan personally but double up attack should be only reds and City

    4. SamH123
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Couthino and Firmino for me

  9. @persecuted_by_mods
    10 years, 25 days ago

    I tend not come come on here on Saturday mornings. Had no idea it was this bad, don't be the guy who's just spamming questions yet not replying to responses or helping anyone else

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear

      Casual

      1. @persecuted_by_mods

        Haha, sorry man need my sleep

    2. Dark_Mata

      Well said

  10. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 25 days ago

    I cannot get a grip!!! Slow down lads..

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

      😳

  11. Quinninho
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Any good arguments for Coleman over Baines (except the 0.2 in price)

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

      More outfield threat

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
        10 years, 25 days ago

        This

      2. Quinninho
        10 years, 25 days ago

        My thoughts exactly, now just who to captain, aguero or Firminho?

    2. ImTheDude
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Coleman is a no
      Brainier in my opinion, Baines isn't on corners or set pieces anymore. Decent chance lukaku will be taking the pk's as well. Coleman gets 3-4 goals a season from open play.

    3. Footballfriend
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I think Coleman for open play but I also think Baines might be the PK man this season, scored one already

  12. UnitedXCI
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Chadli fit to start?

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

      Yes

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

    Swayed to go Coutinho over Firmino now and use extra cash to upgrade a defender.

    1. DMil
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Coutinho and Mane > Firmino when they play as front 3 😉 False 9 not always a good thing

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

      Your choice

  14. Flynny
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Who is the best defender up to 5m for this wildcard??

    Baines xxx holebas Evans amat

    Looking at

    Lovren.....who seems may not play

    Stones.

    Any v8ews?....ta

    1. kalmoffit
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Morgan

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

  17. PlayPercentage
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Jakupovic still didn't go up in price last night.
    Was hoping to take a profit with my WC.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 25 days ago

      You keeping him or getting rid?

      1. PlayPercentage
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Marshall will come in eventually. Maybe as soon as this GW, as Jaku made a couple of howlers last match.
        Jaku *may* go up tonight though, with late transfers in.

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

      Me too

  18. Jaok
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Deeney or Rashford?

    1. Chinu
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Deeney

    2. DMil
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Rashford as Deeney doesn't have good underlying stats.

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

    What's the latest on Firmino? Will he play? Is Lukaku, Chadli and Holebas nailed (considering injuries)?

  20. Chinu
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Start Capoue or Redmond?
    Thanks.

    1. Jaok
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Capoue

    2. DMil
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Redmond

  21. Art Vandelay
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Had Capoue since the start, benched all his points (twice behind Lamela cameos). Sold for profit on WC. 😆

    What happens next?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 25 days ago

      You miss his Monday night hatrick.

      1. Art Vandelay
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Probably. 😆

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          10 years, 25 days ago

          I have him since the start too and starting him for the first time this week.That'll put an end to any thoughts he might have had about scoring.

    2. Zlatans little helper
      10 years, 25 days ago

      You miss out on further profit and hauls.

    Guys, any thoughts on this WC squad?

    Pickford / Jaku
    Coleman / Walker / Holebas / Robertson / Amat
    Sterling / Antonio / Firmino / Capoue / Sanchez
    Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney

  29. Dog and Fox
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Cap firmino or KDB? No Aguero in the team...,

    1. Brap.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Consensus will probably be Firmino, but KDBizzle is the best player in the world right now

  30. Tree House

    10 years, 25 days ago

    SAD_ACT Fantasy Football Scout Member
    Final touches...

    A) Ighalo or Deeney (ignore price please)
    B) start Evans (stk) or Holebas (bur)

    Cheers!
