As befits the morning after St Patrick’s Day, Paddy will be handing out a number of hangover remedies today, from greasy breakfasts and fizzy drinks to Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet odds.

There’s also the small matter of Enhanced Offers available to customers signing up today – and you don’t even have to be suffering from the mother of all headaches, or waking up at Cheltenham, or even hungover at all to take advantage.

We’ll start with the eye-popping 18-1 Paddy is offering on Liverpool to beat Man City. In the league, the Reds have won three of their last four while City have kept three clean sheets in a row. But how will their Champions League exit affect Pep Guardiola’s men? And can Liverpool win on the road for the first time since Gameweek 17?

If the answer to that last question is yes, then 18-1…

More down to earth (but stil tempting) odds are also available, like the 8-1 on Arsenal to beat West Brom and the 7-1 on Man United to beat Middlesbrough.

And if it’s a tasty Acca you crave this morning, Paddy’s got Chelsea, Everton and Leicester all to win 25-1.

Enhanced winnings are credited in free bets. Be sure to check the terms and conditions that apply on all those offers and, of course, we should state that all these specials are only available to those aged 18 or over. If you’re going to wager, please always gamble responsibly.

Romelu Lukaku was the runaway winner in our captaincy poll this week, with Fantasy managers clearly able to look past any possible fallout from the brouhaha surrounding his new contract and the lack of his signature anywhere near it.

Paddy is perhaps slightly less convinced, giving him equal billing at the lowest end of the market with Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa on 1.90.

The Chelsea man is well ahead Bournemouth’s current goal machine, Josh King, as the most purchased player of the Gameweek. But the Cherries midfielder is 2.75 to score at home to Swansea, which seems generous for a man who’s managed eight in his last seven while the Swans have shipped nine from their last four matches on the road.

In the absence of Harry Kane, 72,000+ new managers are hoping Son doesn’t go down for Spurs at home to Southampton tomorrow. The general feeling is the South Korean (2.50) will take over striking duties, although there’s also Vicent Janssen (2.60) to consider as well.

The Dutchman, however, doesn’t even make it into the top 30 for transfers-in this week, whereas Son is at number five – just behind Dele Alli, who is 3.00 to score against the Saints.

No mention of Southampton is complete until the words ‘Manolo’ and ‘Gabbiadini’ have been typed out. The red-hot forward is 3.40 to add to his four goals from three league starts.

Burnley striker Ashley Barnes has snuck on to the lower reaches of the top 30 chart this week, with nearly 17,000 new managers hoping he can continue his fine form. He’s scored two in his last four starts – both away – and you can get 4.33 on him to continue that trend at Sunderland.

Man United1.90
Everton2.00

Man City3.10


There’s only one Man United defender – Antonio Valenica – in the top 30 for transfers-in this week, but Paddy has the Red Devils as 1.90 favourites to keep a clean sheet, which has much to do with managerless Middlesbrough being the opposition.

Seamus Coleman continues to gather new owners, and he’s joined in the top 30 this week by team-mate Ashley Williams as Fantasy managers seek a Goodison Park shut-out against Hull. Paddy’s odds of 2.00 reflect that.

Palace defenders remain under the Fantasy radar, but the 2.29 on them to blank visitors Watford is worth a look. The Eagles have kept consecutive clean sheets and the Hornets have bulged no nets in four of their last six away trips.

Stoke City’s Erik Pieters is a surprise name in the top 30, what with the Potters hosting Chelsea today.

But Mark Hughes’ men have kept three clean sheets in their last four starts and famously kept the Man City attack quiet – ruining a number of triple captaincy punts on Sergio Aguero along the way – at the Etihad last time out.

There’s a bumper 5.50 on Stoke shutting down the league leaders this afternoon.

    Hennesey-Pickford

      Haz to pedro.

      Use the funds elsewhere (maybe Stephens to walker)

      1. Smelbow
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Haz-pedro
        Stephens-Walker
        Yoshida-Gibson.

        A more balanced squad with those 3 transfers.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Sounds good.

          Pedro outscoring hazard and haz is an injury doubt this weekend....

          Your all set.

          1. Smelbow

  2. Frank Koscielny

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton obviousely.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years

      Heaton

  3. Mesh
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Which of these should I do?

    A. Play Baines and save the FT for after the international break
    B. Baines to Valencia

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    I'm doing it - Aguero captain.

    Let's go!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Fair play, brave move.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yea I'm chasing though so I've got nothing to lose!

        Who you going with Jac?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I'm 90 points behind my main rival.

          I'm going with Lukaku, Aguero himself is almost a differential.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yea I know everyone in my league will go Lukaku. So if anything goes wrong with him then it will hopefully give me a chance to close.

            I'm 70 points behind.

            It's so weird to think aguero is a differential! Liverpool can't defend though, and apart from last time they played, it is normally a high scoring fixture.

            1. JAC THE CAT
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              I did consider Aguero but the Monaco game put me off.

              Lukaku will do for me today, will take a punt on a GW when the captain choice isn't so clear cut.

  5. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Welcome to my team Son!

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nice move!

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers

        Son, King and Mane could all be OOP for me this week.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yea they will be.

          I've got Mane and king, not son though!

    2. Mesh
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Who did you lose for him?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Coutinho.

  6. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Brunt Coutinho to Valencia Sanchez is very tempting right now...

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I bet it is 🙂

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The only thing is I don't have place for Spurs def for next weeks as I want to keep Coleman along Alonso...

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I'm thinking of going De Gea eventually with Alonso, Spurs defender and Arsenal defender.

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yah pitty Rose is out cause I would bring him this week and DDG next

            1. JAC THE CAT
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              I might end up going Vertonghen at his price.

              No attacking returns but I won't miss out on them Spurs clean sheets that keep hurting me.

              1. Atimis
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                But you recon they will keep cs this week ? I could also bring Lloris next week

                1. JAC THE CAT
                  • 12 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  It's a gamble this week, Spurs solid at home but Southampton very attacking at the moment.

                  I'm doing it next week.

                  1. Atimis
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Thinking the same, Gabi may put 1

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Llorente not even in the betting.
    Great.

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No Mane also 😉

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Almost a good sign!

    3. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lol, he just missed the cut by the looks of it. 3.00 on Paddy.

    Costa, Lukaku, Llorente

    0FT's, £4.2m in the bank

    Any hits worth doing here?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe ditch a Liverpool midfielder.

  10. mattzkn
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Really struggling with this...

    Bench 1:

    A) Antonio
    B) Llorente
    C) Carroll

    (D - transfer Llorente/Carroll to Costa using FT)

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

      1. mattzkn
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The odds have Antonio at 2.7 where as Carroll and Llorente are not even on there so leaning towards Llorente at the moment but a real tricky one. If Baines was a definite non starter i would AOA but i think he will play and get a CS

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          AOA, could be the one.

          It's not a great chip anyway and if it doesn't work out you haven't lost much.

  11. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Did Kane to Costa and got this.
    Heaton
    Baines Jones Alonso
    Snoddy Mane King Siggy
    Costa Gray Lukaku
    Jaku Firmino McAuley Brunt

    Was thinking of taking 2 hits but then decided not to.
    Can't decide whether to take one and do:
    A. Mane - Sanchez (funds allow this only)
    B. Firmino - Eriksen/Son
    C. Save

  12. The_FF_King

    Should I do Coutinho for Josh King -4 hit? (Also have Mane as Liverpool coverage) Cheers guys 🙂

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't

    2. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nah, it's probably not worth it.

    Would you play all out attack only in a double-game week? And why?

    1. Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years

      No. because there's better chips.

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        but if you did not have other chips, would you wait for a DGW?

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      I wouldn't even be bothered if I didn't play it at all, let alone in a DGW.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Playing it this week as I have a decent front 8 and my defence doesn't look good.

      I doubt I'd use it in a DGW.

    Hi, folks. Pls, help to sort things out.
    Current squad:

    Grant (Foster)
    Baines* - Mawson - Brunt (Yoshida, Chambers*)
    Mane - Alli - Siggy - Firmino* (De Roon)
    Kun - Lukaku - Llorente

    What are obvious moves?
    I'm thinking about Kun + Firm > Costa + Sanchez is it a good move for -4?

    Any reason not to do the following transfers?
    Phillips (out) - Son (in)
    Kane (out) - Vardy (in)

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Son isn't nailed.
      Can Leicester be trusted?

    On a WC, GTG?

    Pickford (Jaku)
    Coleman / Alonso / Kone' (Yoshida / Mawson)
    Sanchez / Eriksen / Alli / Siggy / King
    Costa / Kaku (Gabbi)

      I would play Mawson over Kone just for the goal threat! But GTG.
