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.

    1. Ayew Serious

      Will Amat even play?

      1. Slam

        Not sure, I expect him to. If he doesn't then it makes my decision slightly easier 🙂

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He hasn't played the last two weeks?
          Has something changed?

            • 10 Years

            I just have a feeling really, the performance vs. Stoke was awful.
            Mawson scored an own goal as well.

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 10 Years

              I think I have to sell him, just to make sure I field 11

    To anyone unsure about Kun for captain:

    Middlesbrough may be in good defensive form, but besides Arsenal have they really come up against an attack like City's away from home?

    The only other slightly comparable teams they've played are Everton and Spurs, and they conceded 3 and 2 goals respectively to them both. Arguably Spurs greatest attacking threat in Kane was also out injured for that fixture.

    Every other team they've met this season has well known issues in creating and converting opportunities, and that includes BOU who before Stanislas and King's returns from injury, were in the same predicament. No surprise then that BOU also struggled against MID with arguably their biggest attacking threat Stanislas injured.

    Personally I think the Middlesbrough defensive form thing is being way overhyped.

    Kun is the easiest captain call you could make this gw, and I expect an easy 3, 4, or even 5-0 win with Kun heavily involved.

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

      Only reason I'm unsure is that I also have Austin at Hull
      If it wasn't for that I would be perfectly happy with Aguero(c)

      1. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I also have Austin, and he is by no means a poor option this gw. He's actually my VC.

        My OP was more meant to address those that have said they're considering looking to someone other than Kun just because MID have this perceived solid defence.

        I just wanted to highlight that maybe other key factors such as easy fixtures and key injuries were being overlooked when assessing this perceived solid defensive form MID have.

        I am also always weary of picking a budget striker away from home when the best premo striker in the game is at home to a newly promoted side.

    2. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I needed this! Thanks. Going to put coutinho and mane out of my head now 🙂

    3. OZIL-TEEN
        9 years, 4 months ago

        They have seemed a different team since traore started playing and they offered some kind of threat for the opposition to think about. So past results are a bit misleading I think. Having said that, city's form still suggests goals

        1. devils advocate
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough, but I'd still be heavily backing an improving City side over an improving Middlesbrough side everyday of the week. Especially at home.

          It's all a matter of opinion in the end, I just think sometimes people have a tendency to over think matters and look for reasons to doubt what looks to be the most obvious decision.

          Good luck all to whoever you go with. 😉

      1. Hurricane Gilbert

        Deeney to Austin imo. Otherwise gtg!

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

          I'm keeping Deeney because I heard he's scoring his 100th goal for Watford tomorrow 😉
          Thanks mate!

          1. petergriff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            Sincerely hope he does that today. But he has been trying for 3 weeks!

      2. Farnborough's Finest
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Deeney to Austin

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years

        D -> A

      4. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thank you both but if I wanted to do this move I would've done it before the price changes. I appreciate your advice and I'm monitoring Austin for the coming weeks. 🙂

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

        Walker to Fuchs?

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

          Top pick. He's also on my watchlist and maybe in my team after international break.

    6. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Out of the current top 6 teams, who is most committed to the premier league? i.e. in least other tournaments.

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

        Liverpool and Chelsea. That was a bit of an easy question really

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

        Chelsea

    7. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Grant to heaton -4?

      Other keeper Pickford

      I want heaton long term and his price is increasing worth the hit?

    8. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Foster
      Fuchs, Walker, Smith
      Sanchez, Firmino, Gundogan, Walcott
      Austin, Lukaku, Aguero(c)

      Pickford, Capoue, McAuley, Holebas
      Good to go?

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

        I'd play Holebas over Walker, but others may disagree

    9. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      What's the latest on Shaqiri? Is he out?

      Take a hit to get Gündogan in for him?

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Otherwise relying on Amat.

      2. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Think he'll play

    10. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Didnt see Deeney mentioned in the Anytime GoalScorer Odds.... that can't be good :/

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

        Dropped him for Austin. Feels so good.

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          leicester and stoke at home the next 2

    11. :
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Gentlemen,

      A really quick opinion would be much appreciated...

      Williams, Stones, Evans

      Sanchez, Coutinho, Firmino, Allen

      or a 4 point hit and go AOA without Williams and with Gungadin?

      Cheers.

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

        Stick, dont get hasty

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

        Actually, not that I've wrote it down and look at it, I think I'll hold on to those 4 precious points! 😀

    12. Evil Buddha
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Would you do Vert > Fuchs (-4)? Long term transfer.

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        yes

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

      Bottomed...

      Play 2 out of Williams, Holebas, Mcauley...
      or take a -4 defensive hit to bring Fuchs in?

      Cheers!

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

        none of them three look like keeping a clean sheet but id say Evans and Williams

      2. LukeZela
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Mc Auley + Williams should do.
        I personally never take hits for defenders.

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

          Me neither but Fuchs kind of long term so maybe worth it but proly just stick with the ones I got and pla Mcauley + Williams.

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

            I did Valencia to Fuchs this GW, so know what yer talkin bout. Still I wouldnt take a hit. An odd goal at LEI may always happen.

    14. emorybortz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is going without Aguero too risky? Would take a (-12) to get him in but feel like he could make that back in a couple of weeks no bother.

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

        ive been without aguero since GW1 im going Gundogan and KDB this gw

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

          Brought KDB in myself. Guess I can wait a week.

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

        i scored 76 without him last time,dont take that -12

          Stanislas.

          I remember when you transferred in Daniels last season. Someone else is going to do the same this GW.

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I was thinking of getting Daniels, actually probably will, him or Lovren

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

              I meant to say someone else is going to do a Daniels this week

              1. Ayew Serious
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

        Why would you keep deadwood in ur team when on WC? IMO keeping Amat just to save money is nonsense. Spare 0.4 somehow and upgrade to Friend.

    17. Offside Trapattoni

        Benching Allen is a brave one with the form he's in against West Ham's shocking defence but I suppose its tricky to bench anyone in your starting 11. I'm going Pickford over Grant. Pickford is a save point machine and I reckon West Ham will score.

        1. merin
          • 10 Years

          Same dilemma for me, have Coutinho Sterling Walcott Lallana Allen.

      When does the YC limit extend to 10 for suspensions?

        After the NY I believe.

        no kun, no chance

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

          He has only scored 1 at home, seems much better on the road.

          Cant afford Aguero without making atleast -12

      Foster to Heaton for free? Even with Foster good fixtures after this one? One is dropping in price the other rising.

      Thanks all. 🙂

        Tough one but i'd say yes, if there's no other pressing transfers needed then good opportunity

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

          Thanks bud, appreciate it.

      2. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Heh, this was my alternative transfer to the one below, and definitely one I feel I should have done.

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

          Cheers mate. Appreciate it.

        I'd hold off personally

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

          Benteke also in my team and would be playing one another. That's a little annoying so shoul probably hold off. Thanks mate.

      I've transferred Allen in for Walcott, and I feel awful about it

      Anyone else in the same boat?

      thoughts on Boufal as a punt?

      1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        One of the picks in spot the diff. Could be good but may be a bit soon

    25. MITRO'S ON FIRE

      Start Holebas (liv) or Pieters (whu)?

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

        Pieters.

      Play Pieters or PVA?

      1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        PVA

      Any early team news lads?

      A) Play Holebas
      B) Do Valencia--> Alonso for -4 and play Alonso instead

      1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        B. Long term in mind

      2. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Valencia needs to go anyway I guess, so not the worst.

        But Holebas is fine enough, I'm playing him

        Hole

      Is Martina nailed on? Probably not with Soares returning this or next GW?

      If Martina would be nailed on, it would offer me a cheap way into the Southampton defence..

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        For this week yes. But Cedric back v soon. Not worth a transfer in

    30. lcfc123
      • 9 Years

      Allen and Coleman or Gundogen and Alonso?

        2nd for me easy!!
