It’s time again to wander down Paddy Avenue and knock on the doors marked ‘Anytime Goalscorer’ and ‘Clean Sheets’ in search of the odds that call these places home.

But before all that, let’s take a look at the enhanced offers available for new customers.

There’s a cracker of an Acca available if sweating on the result of just the one match is not enough entertainment for you. So if you fancy Chelsea, Man City and West Ham all to win, Paddy have a 12-1 price with your name on it.

They’re all at home, Chelsea have won four straight, City must fancy their chances against Middlesbrough after their Barca boost and as for the Hammers…two wins from their last three in the league has steadied the ship.

You can get 5-1 on Chelsea to beat Everton. The Blues are suddenly looking like title contenders now they’ve switched to three at the back, while the Toffees’ away record isn’t that sweet – they’ve not won on the road since early September, and that was at Sunderland.

It’s the North London derby on Sunday, with Arsenal to beat Spurs available at 7-1.The Gunners are in prime form, their goalless draw against Boro a blip seven wins. As for Spurs, they were wretched in the Champions League, key players are injured, they’re winless in three and haven’t scored a goal from open play in five matches.

But if you want to ignore all of that, Spurs to beat Arsenal is available at 14-1. That’s almost insane odds for a two-horse race, even if one of the horses is more Shetland than Shergar.

Finally, you can get 4-1 on Liverpool beating Watford. The Hornets have been taking the sting out of attacks in recent weeks, with three straight clean sheets to their name. But that was against three of the bottom six.

No-one’s scored more goals than Liverpool’s 24 this season, and unless Watford can park the bus as precisely as Mourinho’s Man United managed, a home win looks highly likely.

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.

Sergio Aguero at 1.40, Diego Costa (1.57), Charlie Austin (1.83) and pretty much the entire Liverpool midfield are your Anytime Goalscorer short-odds boys this week.

The runaway leader in our captain poll, Aguero is heavily backed by Paddy – triumphantly returning to the to top ranked spot after a three-game blip.

Austin’s odds are intriguing and back the transfer traffic witnessed heading into today’s deadline – more than 117,000 FPL managers have swooped for the Saints striker ahead of his anticipated duck shoot at Hull City.

Interestingly, Paddy are still favouring Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino (both 1.90) over the current Fantasy darling, Philippe Coutinho (2.40). While, further down, we like the faith being shown in Alexis Sanchez at 2.20 against the Spurs defence.

The Chilean bagged a brace last time out (with the usual ‘it was against Sunderland’ rider) and looks beautifully placed to punish a Spurs side on the wrong side of “meh” at the moment.

But there is another rider to add to the Gunners’ stable – Olivier Giroud could well earn further pitch time following his Stadium of Light cameo and midweek strike: the Frenchman is also 2.20.

Now that Wilfried Bony has finally remembered that he’s employed to score goals, he’s priced at 2.29 to keep up the good work for Stoke at West Ham. Even during the dark days of their early season slump, the Potters still managed to score in every away match. They’re a different animal these days, and so is Bony.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku isn’t an animal, he’s a beast. Seven matches, seven goals. Beast. A 3.20 beast. Chelsea haven’t conceded a goal in four matches, mind, so if anyone’s going to tame him…

Finally, Ilkay Gundogan has four goals in his last two, including a brace against Barcelona, with more than 430,000 FPL managers investing in the German this week and hoping for instant dividends.

Middlebrough’s defence is actually in better nick than the Catalan giants, but a cheeky 3.50 on the City man to keep up his blistering run is still a serious tempter, particularly for those who resisted the “Gundoganwagon”.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 11

TeamOdds
Man City1.83
Liverpool1.90
Southampton2.10
Leicester2.10
Chelsea2.29
Bournemouth2.37
Manchester United2.50
Crystal Palace2.70
Arsenal2.80


The shortest odds are slapped on Man City and Liverpool, promoting the stock of John Stones and Dejan Lovren.

Having said that, those two sides have just three league shut-outs between them this season, so the 2.10 on Leicester to keep the West Brom ‘attack’ at bay could the more profitable place to start. Step forward Christian Fuchs.

The Foxes have kept three clean sheets in five home matches so far, while the Baggies have managed a goal on every away trip, but against considerably looser defences than Leicester’s.

The hand injury to Kasper Schmeichel muddies the water a touch, but Claudio Ranieri’s men still look a strong bet to blank the Baggies, with Fuchs in profit.

Stoke are 4.50 to blunt the Hammers. Mark Hughes’s defence have kept two clean sheets in their last three matches and a 4-1 dismantling at Crystal Palace aside, have kept things tight on the road all season.

West Ham did win their last match at home, but (yet again) it was against Sunderland so only just counts. It was also their first victory at the Olympic Stadium since the second outing of the season, so home is still not exactly where the heart is. An in-form Stoke could capitalise.

Finally, despite landing in Manchester with back-to-back shutouts, Middlesbrough are a huge 13.0 to keep Man City locked down, with Paddy clearly fancying a handsome home win-to-nil.

    Leicester should have higher CS odds. Cant see WBA scoring

    1. Lukey27
      • 11 Years

      Higher or lower?

        That one that means they're more likely to keep a CS

    everyone in my league is gonna have aguero (C) i have him in my team but thinking of captaining payet for differential . im 80 points back . good or bad idea?

    1. Lukey27

      Good

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Imho it's bad idea today, there's a long way to go and in a week where they are at home to Middlesborough I wouldn't take that risk personally. Dont take unnecessary risks with your captain.

      Normally I love a rogue differential captain call but have to agree with @greendreams11 - City at home v Boro and back scoring whereas not sure West Ham have fully clicked yet. IMO I think they'll struggle to get forward v Stoke as missing Reid at back and can see stoke having them on back foot a lot. Differential for me would be firmino or hazard if you have them.

      1. Saint Channon
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'm torn between Hazard and Aguero. But I will probably go with the flow

  4. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years

    Walker > Morgan or Stones?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years

      Morgan for free, yea

  5. joersherman

        Agree just can't bare to spend a transfer on it haha. I have Mandanda in too atm. Lets hope for a palace Burnley 0 0!

    Foster - Jaku
    Valencia - Stones - Pieters - Friend - Amat

    I started this journey with these seven fighters. They’ve kept together through some difficult times. It wasn't always rosy. GW4, 5, 6 and 7 were awful with dreadful returns. But the fight and determination they should to claw themselves back in GW8 was remarkable. They always had each others back. When Valencia couldn't make it in GW10 then Friend stepped up and fought for his mate. The camaraderie was unbelievable.

    But today, some three months later, this spectacular seven simply just can't stay together anymore. It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that Valencia will not be a part of the mission any longer. He fought for the cause with true honesty and integrity. In the end his downfall was his sheer determination, giving it his all and never leaving a stone unturned. It's just another reminder that bad things happen to good people. We live in such a cruel world.

    Some people judge their lives on what they do, others on who they are. I want my life judged on the friends I keep, and how enriched I am from just knowing Valencia. I consider myself fortunate to have met such a lovely human being.

    As we say goodbye, we remind ourselves that farewells are not forever, nor are they the end. They are simply words to say that we will miss you dearly and that we will remember you fondly.

    Although we may be separated by time and distance in the interim, nothing will diminish the important role that you have and always will play in our lives. You have left a legacy that most people only can dream of. You are a true champion. We wish you happy adventures, fantastic new friendships, amazing experiences and the journey of a lifetime. Thank you for everything.

    In honour of Valencia my entire team will be wearing a poppy this GW. We have also come to an agreement with Christian Fuchs. His services will fill the void left by our great champion Valencia.

      No Reid so looking like it. Not sure if that's good news if you own WHU defenders.

      1. fijuhmon
        • 14 Years

        But don't want to take hit to ship him out in case he plays.

      I believe so. Reid out.

          Still don't trust Stones & I reckon EVE will match LEI cleanies until GW15 (Chelsea defender).

          Your defence looks good. It wasn't too long ago, cleanies were hard to come by.

        ive been without Aguero since GW one and its probably my downfall. Reckon id be atleast 30 points better off if i had him in

    2. nonprophet

      So who's up front. Costa lukaku?

    Pickford

    Aguero(c) Lukaku Wilson

    Jaku Amat Holebas Carrick

    1FT with 1.3 ITB. Since Shaqiri is out, thinking of a replacement. Amat out for a better defender also works!

    What do you guys think? 🙂

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years

      if you could get 11 out, save it

    2. Numb

    2 free transfer 0.0m in the bank...

    Thinking Koscielny (TOT) to Fuchs (WBA), Bolasie (che) to Gundogan (MID) and Sterling (MID) to Coutinho (WAT). Worth a 4pt hit?

    Should I do Valencia to Morgan/Fuchs for a hit and play him instead of Holebas?

    1. Sailboats

      I would say yes

      Think of it in the long-term and not just for this one GW.... For this single GW it's madness obviously but in long run you need to sell Valencia.... If you feel like there are other transfers you need to make next week then I'd take the hit, otherwise absolutely not...
