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.

      Almost identical to mine except I have Lovren/Smith/Williams vs your Coleman/Holebas/ Evans.....

  2. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is it stupid to start Lovren and having Holebas (75%) and Amat on the bench?

    1. Gegenpress
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm starting Lovren and Holebas.

      Why would you thing Lovren would be getting dropped?

    2. Plebby
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Doing same

      1. Plebby
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

      1. kirwy
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

    3. Henry Hill
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      1. kirwy
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Mmm makes sense right

  4. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Should I play Lamela or Capoue?
    Should I play AOA so Collins doesn't play and both above do.
    Should I TC Walcott?

    1. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping AOA in case my defenders get injured or have terrible fixtures

  5. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    start

    A) kosc (CHE)
    B) pieters (WBA)

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Go pieters, they might go for ultra defense

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

  6. willl

    Pickford
    Baines Holebas Evans

  7. Gan Vaal
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Which combo lads:

    A. Foster+Pickford+Fletcher
    B. Jaku+Pickford+Capoue

  8. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Bolasie or capoue to start

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Capoue

  9. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Playing Pickford rather than Heaton as want Capoue to score!
    Feels wrong to bench Heaton.

    1. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think I may do this

  10. Detweiler
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is there any substance in these Lovren dropped rumours?

    1. kirwy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No one knows.

  11. KingGriffin
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A. Puncheon & Costa
    or
    B. Alli/Eriksen & Deeney

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

  12. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth downgrading Firmino to Coutinho to upgrade shaw to koscielny on my wildcard ?

    1. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. Owusu90
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Oh wow. This has got me thinking and I have been nailed on Firm all week

    3. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If I was going to downgrade Firm i might go for Lallana for even more cash and slightly more consistency

  13. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play a or b ?

    a) redmond - away to west ham

    2. Gan Vaal

    4. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Redmond owned by 8%, Capoe 40%. I'm stuck on this one too, currently on Redmond.

      1. Chinu
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Should I play AoA if my playing defence this week is Valencia, Pieters & Friend?

        1. ameenkw
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          yes for me .. AoA

      Capoue

  15. Henry Hill

    Like the Costa/Fancy Bears analogy in above article , very good!

  16. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Repost
    To start this week:
    A) Pickford (CPL)
    B) Foster (sto)

    Sunderland more likely to keep a clean sheet than Brom according to bookies. Agree?

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would start Foster.

    3. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      All going against the bookies odds then! Interesting

  17. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    On WC...which one to prefer?

    A. Mane, Ighalo, Koscielny

    B. Sanchez, Deeney, Holebas

    Thanks.

    1. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Coin toss imo

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

  18. Velocity
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    1. ameenkw
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently

  19. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Any update on kasper lads?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      FFS tweets say he's out for 3 weeks

    2. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      "Reports suggest that Kasper Schmeichel will miss today's meeting with Man United and be sidelined for up to 3 weeks"

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Firmino ( C) To start?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Henderson is captain I think.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      95% likely

  21. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Still not sure on Deeney or Rashford?

    Atm Ive rashford. Burnley are always quite organised and hard to break down at home, only conceded 2 in 3 games at Turf Moor. I'm going Rashford then possibly changing after Utd's two home games.

    Thoughts?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Deeney safe but Rash more exciting, at least short term.

  22. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Foster
    Valencia baines
    Capoue Ozil firmino Antonio bolasie
    Aguero(c) lukaku benteke

    Pickford mcauley Collins Amat
    Any obvious mistakes

  23. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A) kosc
    B) monreal
    C) mustafi

  24. Oscarman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Playing AOA. Baines and Valencia or Holebas?

    Cheers.

  25. Footballfriend
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Worth going Barkley -> bolasie to free up funds for hazard -> Sanchez next week?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Do them both next week.

    2. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thumbs up

  26. DaBoogie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Will Chadli play?
    The knock worries me.

    It's either Chadli or Sterling in...

  27. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Sterling next 4 - swa tot EVE SOT
    Antonio next 4 - SOT MID cpl SUN

    Antonio is the better pick surely

  28. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    WC complete.

    Karius, Pickford
    Williams, Lovren, Holebas, Amat, Love
    Sterling, Firmino, Walcott, Antonio, deRoon
    Aguero, Zlatan, Lukaku

    1. Gan Vaal
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Did you cashed out the profit from Capoue?

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yes

    2. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That front three! Looks good.

  29. nelluckram
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago
