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.

    On WC

    Pickford (Jaku)
    Baines, Holebas, Lovren (Koscielny, Amat)

    Should I do Kos -> Walker and play Walker instead of Holebas (injured maybe)

  2. Shifty
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Chadli a decent punt for next 2 GWs? Stoke and Sunderland probably the 2 worst teams at the moment...

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

  3. screamer73

    Morning all, with Shaw & Terry both likely to not play this game week and Amat my sub defender, would you see it being worth a -4 to bring in somebody??

    1. MOZIL
      10 years, 26 days ago

  9. Mr Flibble
    10 years, 26 days ago

      Haz

  10. simosalminen
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Best defender under 4.6 not from SUN; WBA, HUL?

    1. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Holebas, though may be injured this week

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Francis

    3. Wardinator
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Adam smith is a good shout at 4.6

  11. The Generalator
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Play snodgrass or capoue

    1. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Capoue

    2. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Capoue

  12. DonTheSpecialOne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    A. Zlatan - Capoue (Fletcher)
    B. Lukaku - Sterling (Capoue)

    😯

    1. ImTheDude
      10 years, 26 days ago

      B

    2. Henry Hill
      10 years, 26 days ago

      B don

  13. Three Badgers on a Shirt
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Wildcard final draft:

    Karius / Heaton
    Baines / Evans / Amat / Vertonghen / Holebas
    Antonio / Firmino / Sterling / Puncheon / Capoue
    Aguero / Deeney / Ibrahimovic

    Was going to go for De Bruyne/Sanchez and Lukuku instead of Sterling and Ibrahimovic, but... Stoke at home, hmm.

    Any thoughts appreciated before I pull the trigger!

    1. SuperMario
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Ibra and Punch to Lukaku and Sanchez after STK game

  14. Dark_Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    A: fish weasel

    Or

      1. Dark_Mata

    2. ImTheDude
      10 years, 26 days ago

      What kind of fish?

      1. Dark_Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Trout

  15. Shack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Very very important 4.1m defender question - Kingsley or Amat? Kingsley shades it on stats, but is either one more nailed? Cheers!!

    1. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I think Amat is more nailed

    2. FPL Diet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Kinglesy won't start today, Amat more nailed

  16. Detweiler
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Bolasie or Townsend on WC?

    1. Chinu
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Bolasie

    2. SuperMario
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Townsend, looked excellent last week

  17. thepeen555
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone playing any triple captain etc this week?

    1. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      No - save for DGW. A few using AOA, but also lots used WC so can't use another chip anyway this week.

      1. thepeen555
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Yes I thought this, apart from the reason below I was unsure why people playing them already

    2. ImTheDude
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Yes, using it on KDB. Only because I'm playing my biggest rival in multi and he's on a wc.

  18. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Sanchez and Rashford

    Ibra and 6.1m mid....

    Can't decide!

    1. Detweiler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Bolasie as the 6.1?

    2. SuperMario
      10 years, 26 days ago

      B until after next week (c)

    3. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Alexis and Marcus

    4. _Ninja_
      10 years, 26 days ago

      S & R

    5. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Ibra + Redmond/Snoddy?

    6. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sanchez + Deeney.

    7. Phillips
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Tough.

      No way at all of keeping Sanchez and Ibra?
      Bottled the Deeney pick then 😛

      If I had to pick between the two I'd rather Sanchez, and as I've posted below, the 6.1 Mids aren't too appealing. I like Snodgrass but the next two fixtures are putting me off. Might just get Bolasie.

    8. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 26 days ago

      A for sure man

    9. Viprin
      10 years, 26 days ago

      The latter

    10. MTPockets
      10 years, 26 days ago

      A

    11. mahone24
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Story of my week...

      Have got Sanch and Rashford ready but cant pull the trigger on that Make Transfer button.

    12. Owusu90
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Your going to want Sanchez in a couple of weeks I assume?

      Sanchez and Rashford. Then pray Rash can come close to Ibra output.

  19. Phillips
    10 years, 26 days ago

    6.1m for a Mid

    Bolasie?
    Snodgrass?
    Gundogan?!

    1. Chinu
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Bolasie

      1. Phillips
        10 years, 26 days ago

        That's what I'm thinking. The next 2 fixtures are good whereas Snodgrass' next two aren't great. If we knew Gundogan would start today that may sway it.

  20. El Patron
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Overkill to double up with Payet and Antonio? West Ham have some good upcoming fixtures.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Been gold for two weeks so why not

  21. TheEgyptianKing
    10 years, 26 days ago

    My defence is causing headache, how would you finish this

    Mandanda Pickford
    Baines xxx xxx Holebas Amat

    9.7M to spend
    a) Walker and Browning)
    b) Lovren Mccauley
    c) Other

  22. The Generalator
    10 years, 26 days ago

    On a WC
    Is it worth getting in Lukaku for next week or playing him now?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 26 days ago

      For who?

    2. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Now

    3. MTPockets
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I'm keeping Costa instead this week.

  23. justmatt
    10 years, 26 days ago

    A or B?

    A
    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio, Capoue
    Kun, Lukaku, Rashford

    B
    Firmino, Sterling, Antonio, Puncheon, Capoue
    Kun, Ibra, Lukaku

  24. Puntillimon
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Gtg? Worried.

    Heaton
    Lovren baines Valencia
    Mane Chadli (c) ozil Payet
    Bony lukaku tekkers
    Bench: Foster capoo Evans kingsley

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 26 days ago

      WC? Free transfers?

    2. Puntillimon
      10 years, 26 days ago

      0 FT

    3. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Like your captain pick, but not your strikers.

    4. Epic Fail
      10 years, 26 days ago

      No point taking any hits then.

      1. Puntillimon
        10 years, 26 days ago

        What about the starting eleven?

  25. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Gone for Boruc in goal. Reasonable pick?

    Can only upgrade to Heaton if I downgrade Kelly (4.4), and there's nothing worth having below him.

  26. Don Andres
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Any chance Zuniga starting?

  27. schlupptheweek
    10 years, 26 days ago

    I'm getting Tadic for some reason. Feel he has been unlucky with his returns.

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Just get Antonio

      1. schlupptheweek
        10 years, 26 days ago

        I've got Antonio already. On a wildcard.

  28. MQ
    10 years, 26 days ago

    To start Valencia as 4th D or keep it at 3 in the back?
    Got Walker, Williams and Stones

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 26 days ago

      And the mid or striker you'd drop?

      1. MQ
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Would drop Nacho! Got Ibra and Lukaku!

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Do it, play the extra def

  29. Brayden29
    10 years, 26 days ago

    No replies before:
    Play Valencia or Kelly?

    Play Heaton or Pickford?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Valencia Heaton for me

  30. @persecuted_by_mods
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Best chances of a cleanie?

    Valencia stones McCauley Baines

    Can only play 2 cause I'm on an AOA

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Stones and Baines probably

      1. Slartibartfast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Bookies odds are in the article, though.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Not one to ever consider them (bookies odds) tbh but thanks for the responses guys

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Baines + Stones

    3. Chinu
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Stones Baines

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Pretty conclusice, cheers all

    4. Brayden29
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Stones and Baines

    5. mahone24
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Coin flip on all four but Baines for attacking returns edges ahead for me, slight Valencia rotation risk today on rumour.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Cheers, gotta go for it to fit hazard in on AOA
