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.

    3. Twiggy SRFC

      So B

  3. ratski
    10 years, 25 days ago

    2. Twiggy SRFC
      10 years, 25 days ago

      No, great team. I personally would pick Rashford over Deeney but sure look, yano yourself like.

      1. ratski
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I suppose it's deeney and carrick (bench)
        Or
        Rashford and fletcher (bench but plays!)

    3. The one who has a knock
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yeah I'm in the same boat with walker, I'm going to stick and aim to swap for ars def next week - bank 0.1 and some points hopefully.

    1. Jonny HOW SON?

      A

  7. MGD
    10 years, 25 days ago

    1. The one who has a knock
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I ditched, he's done nothing for me and fixtures get tougher.

  8. Patty
    10 years, 25 days ago

  10. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Morning guys!

    Final WC ponderings:

    A)
    CECH
    LOVREN Williams Holebas
    Sterling Sanchez Firmino Antonio
    Kun Lukaku Deeney

    Pickford Amat Fletcher LOVE

    B)
    KARIUS
    STONES Williams Holebas
    Sterling Sanchez Firmino Antonio
    Kun Lukaku Deeney

    Pickford Amat Fletcher EVANS

    Which is better?

    1. Camp No No
      10 years, 25 days ago

      B.

  11. Camp No No
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Marius expected to start from now on? He's the same price as Lovren, but could be more nailed on, right? Worth a little extra money investment in GK? Or a stupid punt and waste of money?

  12. Acquafresca
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Stones or Williams for 2nd defender?

    Goalman Holebas Kone Amat

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Williams IMO

    2. Camp No No
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Wouldn't double up on Everton.

  13. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Tough one...

    a) Pickford - Stones - Williams - Zlatan

    Hazard Sterling Bolaise Capoue Mane
    Benteke Aguero Lukaku

    Thanks

    1. Huddersfield
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Tekkers or Haz

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

    Should I have Jaku if I'm on a wildcard?

    1. boredjames
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I took him out

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

        For? I have Pickford

        1. boredjames
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Mandanda

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

            Interesting but CP dont keep cleanies

      2. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Same here.

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

    Capoue or Fletcher?

    I have Deeney and Capoue will sit on the bench anyway

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I got rid of Capoue as I have Deeney.

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

      Been a cool source of sub points for me so far. If he raises a few £'s then well worth considering binning.

      I'm holding, think there could be some more profit.

      Fletcher a nice steady 2

  17. Dan United
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone think Gundogan is a good punt for 5.4m?

    1. CERVELO
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Looks the part but a fantasy prospect playing so deep

      1. CERVELO
        10 years, 25 days ago

        *but not a

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yes

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

      Not for me. Worth keeping an eye on though.

  18. Who Ate All Depays?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Guys RMWCT?

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

    1. Gegenpress
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Other then your defence pretty similar to mine. I like it, though tough calls on who to bench from Cap and Deen. I've got Mane instead of Sterling and Diomande instead of Deeney.

      Was going to go for walker but spurs fixtures don't look too entertaining so went for Lovren (thinking about switching to clyne) Otherwise have Baines over Coleman and McAuley over Evans.

    2. Mbereza
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Looks good but who are you going to bench?

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Capoue...who do you suggest?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

  30. Kurtinho
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Final WC squad. Thoughts on it? Yes I have no Capoue...

    Pickford
    Valencia - Coleman - Lovren
    Antonio - Sterling - Sanchez - Firmino
    Lukaku - Kun - Deeney

    Jaku; Holebas, De Roon, Amat
