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.

    Thinking of swapping deeney>rashford so I can enjoy the early kick off game... haha

    Thoughts?

    Heaton
    Walker ..... Williams ..... Lovren
    Sanchez ..... KDB ..... Capoue ..... Firmino(VC)
    Deeney ..... Kun(C) ..... Lukaku

    (Jaku, Evans, Fletcher, Amat)

  5. The Man Pastore
    10 years, 25 days ago

    On WC, pick one:

    A) Stones
    B) Lovren
    C) PVA

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Lovren

  6. TheEgyptianKing

    If you could have the perfect defence on a wildcard who would you have

    1. Pariße
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Baines, Vertonghen, Evans, Holebas, Amat

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Vert / Koscielny

        1. GREENDREAMS11
          10 years, 25 days ago

          no, Spurs upcoming fixtures get tough, Personally I would give Clyne and PVA a shout over Vert and Evans, Fixtures and possible attacking returns being my motivation

          1. GREENDREAMS11
            10 years, 25 days ago

            So Clyne PVA Baines Holebas and Amat (Cheapie)

      2. faver
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Like that but Walker since Rose is injured

        1. GREENDREAMS11
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Just took Walker out due to fixtures stiffening and possible rotation for upcoming Champions League games

    2. Ruth_NZ
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Johnson - Lovren - Evans - Robertson - Holebas. Cheap as chips (23.2m), some worthwhile attacking threat and a good 3/5 rotation.

  7. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Will Lukaku start?

    1. Ciro Di Marzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Starting.

    2. Pariße
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Is he fit? I'll start Holebas

    3. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Why wouldn't you start him? If he doesn't start he won't play

  11. Trovsmash
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Bottomed:

    Final WC decision, please help

  12. justmatt

    Final WC decision...

    A - Baines, Puncheon, Ibra
    B - Williams, Sanchez, Rashford

    1. TeachYouAlisson
      10 years, 25 days ago

      B is a no brainer, though I would swap Sanchez for firmino and captain him

      1. justmatt
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Already have Firmino

    2. Arn De Gothia

    1. Brap.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Ighalo captain a typo? Or I guess you mean Ibra

      I'd rather have Deeney than Ighalo

  14. Camp No No
    10 years, 25 days ago

    How confident are we that Karius will start?

    Obviously, he should start, because Migs is sh*t. But how sure are we that he will?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      It's 50:50 really

      1. Camp No No
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Damn. That's not good enough for me.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          10 years, 25 days ago

          No comments no injuries, nothing to feed off. I have no doubt Karius will be number 1 and nailed at some point, maybe starting this week

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 25 days ago

            Yeah. I think it is because he's been out of team for injury (the broken hand) but returned in the Cup match and reportedly (haven't seen either match or stats) was good. Something we can't say about Migs in PL.

    2. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 25 days ago

      100% he will trust me

      1. Camp No No
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Not sure if I can trust a guy who is overrated. 😉

        1. Prøfeßör …
          10 years, 25 days ago

          He will definitely start but the question is whether he keeps the position long-term.

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 25 days ago

            I think who ever starts the next few easy fixtures will keep the position long term. So just hoping it's Karius. It will be hard to drop Migs after a run of CS's.

    3. Brap.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      The Lovren Out Rumour-Starting Twitter Lineup™ had Karius starting, whatever that's worth

      1. Camp No No
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks. Team news also has him. Something I trust more.

  15. Jet5605
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Hey guys, couple of quick questions:

    A - Is Vertongen safer than Walker due less RR?
    B - Who is the better pick between Zuniga and Martin Kelly?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yes

      Not sure on that one tbh, Kelly until souare is fit I think

  16. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Costa or Lukaku

    Hmmm

    1. Rayne Wooney
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Kaku

  17. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Snodgrass or Chadli?

  18. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Lukaku is ready to troll this gw

  19. Heung min Daughter
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Firmino vs Aguero for captain?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Kün

  20. MQ
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Not sure what to do with Sanchez/Dembele/Nacho!
    Got Capoue, Antonio, Sterling, Ibra, Lukaku... 0 ITB

    A) Start Sanchez, transfer Dembele, bench Nacho
    For Dembele (ITB=5.5): Puncheon/Wanyama/Zaha/Drinkwater/Fernandinho

    B) Start Sanchez, bench Dembele, transfer Nacho
    For Nacho (ITB=7): Rondon

    C) Transfer Sanchez and Nacho, bench Dembele
    For Sanchez (ITB=5): Wanyama/Fletcher/Barry
    For Nacho: Kun

    D) Nothing, save my FT and start Sanchez and Nacho.

    Thoughts??

    1. 24hrstudent
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Nacho to Deeney or Rashford or Rondon (prefer Deeney's fixtures over the next few)

  21. Dimen
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Mane(C)!!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Nice

    2. Ange Ball
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Between him and Aguero currently have it on Aguero but the Mane cap does look tempting

  22. Viprin
    10 years, 25 days ago

    What's with the Firmino rumour bring benched? Should I swap with Mane to be safe?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Playing him regardless

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

      Source?

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

    Thoughts on West Ham's defence now Reid's back? Still leaky? Wondering if I should bench Redmond or Capoue...

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Bench Redmond tbh, he's like the poor version of Raheem sterling that's off form. Might sneak an assist, or a lucky goal but won't get a haul. Capoue looks dangerous with those late runs, stats don't show just how close he is to getting on the end of those crosses or passes

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

        Great points. Finding it hard to ignore the fact that WHU have conceded 13 and Burnley only 8. Adrian is having a shocker and a goalie bereft of confidence is likely to ship more. Will probably be a last minute decision. Might have to toss a coin...

  24. Ange Ball
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Glad to see 85% people on here picking Firminho instead of Mane.

    1. Dimen
      10 years, 25 days ago

      me2. makes my Mane(C) sweeter.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 25 days ago

      You made that up

      1. Ange Ball
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Yes I did make it up. All I'm seeing is firmino a small amount of Mane owners. The 0.6 more will show you why Mane is 9.0m.

        This weel is gonna be Shoow me the Mane.

    3. faver
      10 years, 25 days ago

      If only I can have money. 0,5 makes differece

  25. Feed tha Sheep
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Spurs fans Is Vertongon any less chance of being rotated than Walker due to champs league etc?

  26. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    RMWCT

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

    £0.5m ITB for KDB to Sanchez.

    Opinions appreciated.

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

      I have Sanchez in my team from this week, because I don't really want to plan my next transfer - could pay off though.

  27. Camp No No
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Found this from Daily Fail:

    "Karius missed the start of the season after breaking his hand and he needed two operations to rectify the issue; during his absence Mignolet did little wrong and he will have been left crestfallen by Klopp's decision [to start Karius]."

    Well, he did little right either. That 56% save rate is nothing to be proud of.

  28. Boz
    10 years, 25 days ago

    A) Baines - Lovren
    B) Williams - Vertonghen

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 25 days ago

      A

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Deff A

  29. Jet5605
    10 years, 25 days ago

    How come everyone is going for Mane or Firmino for Liverpool?

    Lallana is much cheaper and has accumulated more points.

    1. Boz
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Less potential, doesn't consistently score or assist as much

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

      Underlying stats suggest Firmino is the best pick, but it seems that all three will continue to share the points at the moment.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Might be unsustainable and also the former two both missed matches

      1. Jet5605
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Seems a bit of a lotto to me - points could go anywhere

    4. GENERATION X
      10 years, 25 days ago

      probably his finishing but each to his own resons re pool mids

      1. Ange Ball
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Mane 2 goals in coming. Firmino blank a must.

    5. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Lallana is a good pick, no doubt about it. Klopp plays him regularly and he done it consistently at Southampton. If funds are tight no reason not to go with him over the others

      1. Jet5605
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I am on my WC and had option A originally but am now considering B. Any thoughts?

        A - KDB, Sterling & Lallana (next week KDB > Sanchez)
        B - Sterling, Mane & Firmino

    6. Brap.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      It's a lottery -- everyone agrees you need a Liv mid but no one has a scooby which -- it's just who's hyped this week (Coutinho's in the conversation too)

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

    A) Rashford

    B) Deeney
