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.

    redmond or allen as 4th midfielder?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Redmond

    2. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Allen if you have Austin. Redmond will suffer rotation soon with boufal and europa league

  2. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else feeling Coutinho over Agüero for the armband?

    1. MrMaverick
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no, shield over sword

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Living up to the nickname!

        1. MrMaverick
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          don't get me wrong, I captained mane last week and that hurt badly with alexis and aguero scoring big pts

          aguero home to boro, I'd be stupid and not maverick if I didn't captain him

          1. Chris_White
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I get your point. Cout involved in everything, though. Agüero seems to be delivering the goods more in the away games. Nothing against Barca either.

            1. Jazz!
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              He was brilliant against Barca, didn't he get an assist?

              Have you seen Kun in the last couple? Been unreal.

              I've thought about this, believe me. But it is an unnecessary risk to not captain Aguero.

        2. MrMaverick
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I've had double Watford defence in holebas and britos since gw4 and that's surely maverick

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Wow, nice one! Lots of points last few GWs.

            1. MrMaverick
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              saved my gws a lot recently!

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mane over Kun, Kun over Cout

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kun over Mané, Mané over Cout for me.

        1. MrMaverick
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          this, I feel a lot more comfortable captaining mane than coutinho

          mane plays more like a forward imo

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah he basically is a second striker. Home form is brilliant

      2. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kane over Cout over Mane

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Despite his midweek exertions, I can't see Pep resting Aguero just so he is fresh for the Argentinian national team

  3. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is callum wilson defnately out

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Of course not. But it doesn't sound good.
      I'm an owner but I've used my FT already and I'm not taking hits on a rumour. My bench is non existant too

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      seems like it from the Bou fans forum....playing 5th mid now

  4. saihtam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Allen or Bolasie

  5. Jehstafari
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Play Pickford or Grant ?

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Grant

  6. Dasher0303
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Repost

    Should I:

    A. Do Valencia to FUCHS now, but then be priced out of Walcott and Lallana (got Firmino) to hazard (no Chelsea) and Allen next week

    B. Do Valencia to MORGAN, and do Walcott and Lallana to hazard and allen next week

    C. Other suggestions?? Stones, VVD, Pieters???

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. Dasher0303
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Do you think Fuchs will get a lot more points than Morgan or just marginally more?

    2. Aubaaaaa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B - Hazard should be your priority if you want him next week

  7. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any confirmed news on Callum Wilson not starting or any links?
    I'm on AOA with him. Should I just bench him?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't bench him but deactivate your AoA

  8. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Tadic to Allen or gund worth a -4?

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure. Do you have Austin?

    2. Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mmmmmmmm maybe Tadic missed a pen in the week and I think stoke to win or draw

    3. Ronny Hotdog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope.

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

    Lukaku --- Giroud / Austin, someone else or Hollllldddddddd

    His stats v Chelsea in the EPL is 0 goals

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Old club tho.

    2. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      In 4 games?

      1. Jammy
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Never scored v Chelsea in PL

    3. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keep.. He's playing more consistently than he ever has in the past, no reason he can't score today

    4. Aubaaaaa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hold.

  10. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez - Firmino - Bolasie - Capoue (Arnautovic)
    Aguero - Lukaku - Wilson

    With rumours Wilson won't play, how should I go about getting a Southampton attacking player? Got 1.9ITB and 1 FT.

    Capoue -> Redmond?
    Arnautovic -> Tadic?
    Wilson -> Austin?

    Thoughts?

    1. Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Arnie injured isn't he?

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Out for this gameweek right? Was just going to bench him.

        1. Jammy
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Wilson to Austin

    2. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson to Austin for me

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Looking like my most obvious choice to get a Southampton player in. Only worry was a good fixture for Wilson, but if he is injured it forces my transfer.

  11. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why Lukaku left out of the odds?

    1. Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He's never scored v Chelsea in EPL only in FA cup and with Chelsea keeping 4 clean sheets he's got big odds to score

  12. FC Cacked
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone considering benching lukaka or is madness to even think about it??

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds just stupid to me.

      1. FC Cacked
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        4 clean sheets in a row, chelsea!!

    2. Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking of swapping out for Giroud for 1 week

  13. Gandaia
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) Coleman

    B) Holebas

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Flip a coin

  14. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm, I've been on Foster over Pickford but now thinking about playing Pickford. Sunderland are awful but it is a must win for them, on the other hand I can see WBA frustrating Leicester.

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      WBA over Sunderland for me. With Chadli out, WBA could go really defensive.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A 0-0 would be perfect for me

    2. MrMaverick
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      foster, cs potential and saves too

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers lads, sticking with fosty

  15. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So do we think Walcott starts?

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would say no

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        So would you play Theo or Allen?

        1. TheShinKicker
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          My dilemma right here, really worried about missing another 10+ Allen week and getting a 20 min cameo from Walcott

      2. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        We have to agree to disagree

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes we do

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        HEres hoping Kinnear !

    3. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think so, but it's just a guess.

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, he's been training hasn't he? And arguably their best player this season. Can't see him not playing if he's fit.

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Feel yhe same. IM going to start him and hipe for the best

  16. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    should i play :

    1. Foster and Williams
    or
    2. Pickford and Evans

    have also PVA who is playing 🙂

    1. oispakaljaa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      All in for WBA. Foster + Evans

  17. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton
    Clyne Amat Vertonghen
    Antonio Firmino Gundogan Coutinho
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Aguero

    Pickford Capoue Pieters Evans

    Am I good to go?

    Think Amat may get a start after Swansea conceded 3 the other night and United are goal shy at the moment if he does.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Guessing your thinking Ibra will smash it?? If so I'd swap Amat for Pieters

  18. AusBest11
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who to play

    Grant or foster?
    Amat or Williams?
    Collins or holebas?
    Allen or keane?

  19. tomd17
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Quick fire, bench one:

    A) Williams
    B) Holebas

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have both - benching Williams

  20. LeicesterA
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Surely there would be more noise if Wilson was out? There have been a few conjectured tweets, that's it.

    1. StinkinRich
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      His own tweet from yday says a lot in itself.

      1. LeicesterA
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It mentions nothing about an injury. Again, conjecture.

  21. ZULU23
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Play Foster or Pickford?

  22. StinkinRich
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    With Wilson seeemingly out I've taken a punt on king (in for capoue) and playing AOA.

    Leaves me with sterling Sanchez Walcott Allen king with Kun Costa Kaku up top...

    Defo playing kosc but thought on who to pair with him and play in goal?

    Foster or Pickford
    Holebas or mcauley

  23. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton
    Walker Williams Holebas
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Gundogan
    Aguero(C) Costa Wilson

    Pickford Capoue Evans Amat

    0.1 shy off doing Williams > Fuchs.

    Best defender for 5.3 or under?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Morgan for now I think

  24. Jammy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra to finally score?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, guaranteed... I hope

  25. Dasher0303
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth getting Fuchs over Morgan but then not being able to afford Walcott and lalllana to hazard and Allen next week due to price rises. Or just get Morgan and be able to afford hazard and Allen??

    Will Fuchs really get that much points over Morgan??

  26. Deyanski
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Defoe to Austin worth a hit?

    1. saihtam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, Austin is the way to go

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I did Benteke to Austin for a hit so I'd probably say 'yes - in the long run'

      1. Deyanski

    Costs 3 goals and an Assist in last 3 games against Everton. May have to captain the guy.

  28. H-Over United
