With the international break finally over, it’s time to rush back to the bosom of Paddy Power’s weekend odds.

Before we take a look at the prices for anytime scorers and clean sheets, we need to take a peek at Paddy’s weekly tempters for new customers opening an account.

This week’s enhanced new customer offers include two sets of generous odds surrounding Monday’s massive match-up between Liverpool and United.

If you’re tipping Klopp and the Kop, then you could go for Liverpool to win at 6-1, or if Jose’s the way, you can get 12-1 on a United victory.

Chelsea entertain Leicester on Saturday lunchtime, and the Foxes’ dodgy away form – played three, lost three, 10 goals conceded – makes 4-1 on a Chelsea win look well worth a punt.

If you fancy a longer shot than that, there’s 10-1 available for West Ham to record their first away win of the season in the evening kick-off at Palace.

And betting on Man City, Arsenal and Spurs all to win is available at 9-1.

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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 8

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.50
Sanchez ARS 1.57
Costa CHE 1.72
Wilson BOU 1.90
Austin SOU 1.90
Iheanacho MCI 2.00
Benteke CRY 2.20
Walcott ARS 2.20
Hazard CHE 2.29

Ibrahimovic MAN 2.29
Son TOT 2.37

Sane MCI 2.50
Firmino LIV 2.50
Lukaku EVE 2.62
Ighalo WAT 2.80
Defoe SUN 2.87
Coutinho LIV 2.87

The usual Aguero and Sanchez-shaped suspects occupy the short-odds spots in the anytime goalscorer charts this week – providing little guidance to those still debating the captaincy issue.

Paddy have the City striker just ahead of the Chilean, but at 1.50 and 1.57, there’s little to separate the pair.

Elsewhere, the 2.29 on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to break his three-match drought in the league looks competitive.

The Swede leads the way for attempts (16) and is second for penalty area touches (30) during that time, and he will be up against a Liverpool defence that hasn’t kept a clean sheet all season.

Christian Benteke, at 2.20, also looks good for goals. He has three in his last four league outings, hit a hat-trick for Belgium in midweek and is up against a West Ham ‘defence’ that’s shipped three or more goals in four of their last five matches.

There are some very enticing longer odds on offer this week as well.

Tottenham’s Heung-Min Son, with four goals in as many matches, is at 2.87 to do the business at West Brom, having continued his fine scoring form for South Korea during the international break, while Southampton’s Dusan Tadic (3.00) scored in both Serbia’s matches and will be up against a Burnley defence that’s lost both of their away matches 3-0 this season.

Romelu Lukaku (five goals in his last four Everton starts) and Troy Deeney, who has three in four for Watford, are priced at 2.62 and 3.00 and will fancy their chances against Man City and Middlesbrough respectively.

And if you want to go well out there, Sunderland boss David Moyes has hinted at an advanced role for Patrick Van Aanholt, making his respective odds of 11.00 for an anytime goal a lot more generous given that the Black Cats are up against fellow strugglers Stoke, who are yet to keep a clean sheet this term.

And speaking of which…

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 8

Team Odds
Southampton 1.83
Arsenal 2.00
Tottenham 2.20
Bournemouth 2.29
Chelsea 2.40
Stoke 2.40
Manchester City 2.50
Middlesbrough 2.62
Crystal Palace 3.00

There’s a bit of a southern bias to the clean sheet tables this week, with Southampton deservedly getting the shortest odds as they go for their seventh consecutive shut-out in all competitions.

They host a Burnley side that’s yet to score on their league travels.

Both Arsenal (2.00) and Spurs (2.20) also look good value.

The Gunners are going for their third clean sheet in a row. Swansea have one win and only two goals in three away matches – and that victory was on the first day of the season at Burnley. This all adds up to what looks like a regulation Arsenal home win, but the fact that this is new Swans boss Bob Bradley’s first match in charge throws a touch of unpredictability into the mix.

West Brom at home are a lot easier to call – tough to beat, even tougher to enjoy. Then again, they scored four goals at The Hawthorns last time out, although that was against West Ham.

Spurs will be a considerably tougher test. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have two clean sheets from their last three starts and shut down the mighty Man City attack before the international break kicked in.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are rated at 2.29 to keep out the visiting Hull City. The Cherries have won their last two home matches 1-0, but the Tigers have scored in all three of their away fixtures so far.

    Everton's defensive stats may appear to be quite good. However, I'd advise you to check their GW1-7 fixtures. As for the away games, they played WBA, Sunderland and Bournemouth. Not exactly like going to the Etihad.

    1. RubberDucky
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This is why when I have nothing more important to do im shipping Williams out for a Stoke or City defender

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I still see Williams as a good option at 5.0 until Soton's fixtures improve and he will get some CSs especially at home to weaker sides. I expect City to score 3 minimum though. Just switched captains from Theo to Kun. Will keep on going till the deadline I am sure.

      2. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Doing the same.

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

      and while Pep's teams struggle away especially against the top teams that can defend, they usually threash their opponents at home. I am just saying it is Everton's first test and their stats should be taken with a pinch of salt.

  2. So Troublesome
    • 11 Years

    Defoe or Capoue?

        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This. Considerable luck that is. Like transferring in and captaining a differential that gets a hattrick.

      Not sure it goes up that far.

  4. Make United Great Again

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Mini Captain Poll:

    A. Aguero
    B. Sanchez
    C. Walcott
    D. Son

    1. meandurr
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A, too much of a risk with Sanchez. If Wenger doesn't start him it'll ruin your weekend.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      Sanchez 34.64% (3,859 votes)


      Aguero 23.36% (2,603 votes)


      Walcott 4.09% (456 votes)

  5. dcarlito

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Last few changes on WC, need help.

    Capoue > Allen

    And

    A. Smith > Van Aanholt

    Yay or nay??

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      both Allen and PvA carry health risks no?

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Will be rotating Allen with Snoddy for fourth spot (playing 3-4-4 at mo).

        What's the health risk with PVA?? Will be looking at playing him more or less every week.

  6. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Good moves?:

    Williams/Lukaku > Koscielny/Benteke

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      yes

  7. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Captain Sensible just convinced me to switch from Aguero to Sanchez. Fingers crossed!

    1. meandurr
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Faux off! 🙂

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Swansea are a bogey team for Arsenal. And a new manager usually has a positive impact on players and they all want to prove a point to their manager.

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Problem is, he may not even play.

      1. Annie

        stop scaremongering.

      Lovren.

      Robertson

  10. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Btw, that is one scary picture of Aguero. Especially for us non-Aguero captainers

    1. Paul
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      even scarier for a non owner...(fingers crossed)

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

        I call that crazy 😀

  11. LONG LIVE ZOLA

    c) McAuley (TOT)

    1. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A and B

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Does C carries more a goal threat than Baines?

        1. dcarlito
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I think Baines is still on pens which is why I'm leaning that way

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

      A and B

  13. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Maybe going for Kun captaincy as the City match is on TV. Probably a bad idea though?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      15:00 kick off, not on TV?

      (Unless you're not in the UK and it is)

        Yep, not in UK.

    my team right now:

    Heaton

    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio/Capoue
    Rashford, Aguero, Lukaku

    1. mahone24
      • 16 Years

      Antonio

    2. Thomas Magnum

      Antonio

  24. So Troublesome

    Going with Alexis over Kun for captain. Now watch Wenger start Perez.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lol Meandurr has warned you

    2. meandurr
      • 10 Years

      Don't risk ruining your weekend, sir.

  25. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Haven't had a chance to plan my team for this gw.

    Is Valencia -> Mustafi / Monreal good move or should I sell Antonio for Walcott?

    0.5 itb

    Heaton (Robinson)
    Holebas - Kone - Valencia (Evans,Amat)
    Sanchez-Sterling-Antonio-Firmino (Hojberg)
    Aguero-Lukaku-Benteke

    1. So Troublesome
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Your team looks fine. Mustafi is better good shout if you are not taking a hit.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, good move imo. I sold Valencia for Bellers this week, hoping he starts now.

    3. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say Valencia -> Mustafi

      Antonio still got good fixtures

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks all! Mustafi it is then

  26. mr messi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So hard to pick a captain this week. Currently on Benteke. Should I stick or change to Aguero, Sanchez or Costa?

    1. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Costa could be a good option

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

      Benteke only if you need to climb your league, else Aguero.
      I can't see Pep doing anything other than wanting to bounce back, they're at home and Everton don't press like Spurs, it's set up for an Aguero brace (plus a cheeky penalty).

    3. Rich_20
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Currently on benteke as well.But Kun is tempting me.

  27. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Baines for Van Dijk for a hit

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

      no

    2. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure if it's worth a hit, definitely something to consider for future transfers though

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

      Not worth it imo. May make your 4pts back this gw, but VVD's fixtures aren't great after this one.

    4. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Leave it out Guv.

    5. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      City, Chelski & Pool in 3 of next 4.
