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.

    Wilson probably out leaves me with this decision. First one right?

    A) Allen first sub and avoid another hit
    B) Wilson > Austin -8

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Why -8?

    Do you think my bench is in the right order and I'm playing the right players?

    My team is,
    Heaton,
    Lovren, Bellerin and Smith,
    Walcott, Firmino, Coutinho and Marney
    Costa (vc), Austin and Aguero (c)

    Bench:
    Pickford, Evans, Capoue, Amat

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

      I'd always have a mid or forward first sub ahead of a defender, but that's personal preference. They always have a greater chance of attacking returns and CS's are hard to come by atm.

  4. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years

    In a draft league play one of the following:

    a) Kane
    b) Benteke

    Alonso + Allen (-4)

    or

    Brunt + Holebas to play 4-3-3 (Chadli back next week)

    ?

    1. RVP fc

    3. Bleach †

      Alonso would be nice, but not sure if for -4

    4. JurgenRocks
      • 11 Years

      Brunt + Holebas

      I'd bring Brunt on board for now and look at buying Alonso in a few weeks when fixture ease. I plan to bring Brunt in next week

    Really no hope of clean sheets with Kosc, Walker and Pieters 🙁

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Koscielny might be okay

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Kosc will

    3. RVP fc
      • 13 Years

      Honestly think arsenal spurs will be low scoring

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Well 1-1 is also kind of a low score 😀

    4. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Koscielny and Pieters are both decent shouts and Walker isn't too bad. Save the complaints for once the points are totted up 🙂

  7. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any last minute news or rumours? Did Valencia break his arm again without telling anyone?

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

      I have Wilson and Lovren and apparently neither trained 🙁

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        They may still start, you never know

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

          Here's hoping. I'm not diving in with hits at this point.

      2. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Lovren seriously? I have lost a defender every week for past six weeks if true

  8. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bench Kone or Williams?

    1. JurgenRocks

      Kone

  9. odannyboys

      Allen

  11. TheSteel

    Foster in net. Play Holebas or Evans?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      50/50

      holebas more attacking more ceiling of points but could easily concede 3 or 4

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

      Holebas

  12. Nicks93

    Can we start already?

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd trade GW12's MNF to have this gameweek start at regular time.

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years

        Same herw

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

    Who to play ?

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

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

      Williams, Amat has lost his starting spot
      Collins
      Allen
      Foster

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

        I'd play Amat before Williams. Better chance of CS if he plays. If he doesn't play you get points from your sub.

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

    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, Pieter?

    1. RVP fc
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I did A. I'll get hazard ganeweek 15

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

      Well, B if you don't want to be priced out of your plan.... I dont understand the question.

      The plan itself is questionable. Youve got this far, why not keep Walcott? Maybe that's what youre after?

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

        So A for me, B for you

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

        Only way to get hazard

  15. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Play rash or Allen?

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

      I'd give Rash one last shot considering you still have him.

    Afternoon all! Any advice for my team on the run down to the GW deadline?

    Grant
    Walker Holebas Pieters
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Allen
    Aguero Lukaku Wilson

    Pickford Capoue Williams Amat

    £2.6m in the bank, 1FT

    A) Sterling to Hazard
    B) Williams to Fuchs
    C) Save FT
    D) Something else

    Also, a little worried by the talk of Wilson not starting - anyone know what the source of the rumour is?

    1. RamaJama

      Williams/walker to alonso

    6. Jonty Rhodes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A) makes sense as williams is already on your bench. why waste FT for a bench spot unless you wanna play him in place of Holebas or Walker.

      Can you advise me also. Should I do:

      1) FT to get rid of Capoue for Gundogan
      2) -4 hit for Deeney to Musa
      3) Save and wait for international break
      4) Any other ( i am a big fan of Robert Huth but not sure how I can adjust him)

      Pickford (Foster)
      Pieters, Collins, Mustafi (Amat, Mc Auley)
      Walcott, Hazard, Mane, Chadli (Capoue)
      Aguero (c), Lukaku, Deeney

      0.7 in bank. 1 FT

  17. WoodsyOwl
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Looking to bring in a defender - Fuchs or Alonso?

    Fuchs seems to have better short term fixtures whilst Alonso looks the better longer term option.

    Thoughts?

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just get Alonso in and consider it a saved transfer down the line. Chelsea also have no European engagements so you set.

    2. JurgenRocks
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Alonso

    3. Chris_White

      Alonso

    4. WoodsyOwl

    5. MUFASA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Alonso looks like the one to get long term.

  18. Jonty Rhodes

    Real problems in defence this week: Valencia, Williams, Amat, Holebas, Evans.

    A. Just play Holebas, Evans, Williams and get 4-5 PST

    B. Valencia > Stones for -4pt hit

    C. Play AOA (Redmond, Allen,Gundog are 3rd, 4th, 5th mids)

    DDG Capoue Negredo Friend

    I think I will bring Fuchs for Valencia and risk a little bit to make a differential because I'm 4th in my league 🙁

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

    Appreciate your thoughts!
