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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 29

Player Team Odds
Lukaku EVE 1.90
Aguero MCI 1.90
Costa CHE 1.90
Sanchez ARS 2.00
Giroud ARS 2.00
Defoe SUN 2.10
Benteke CRY 2.40
Rashford MUN 2.50
Son TOT 2.50
Janssen TOT 2.60
Antonio WHU 2.70
King BOU 2.75
Hazard CHE 2.75
De Bruyne MCI 2.80
Walcott ARS 2.80
Sigurdsson SWA 3.00


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.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 29

Team Odds
Man United 1.90
Everton 2.00
Chelsea 2.00
Crystal Palace 2.29
Tottenham 2.29
Arsenal 2.29
Sunderland 2.87
Man City 3.10


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.

      That being said, I wouldn't put it past Coutinho to find his form in a big game...

  4. Simon69

      9 years, 4 months ago

      Haz to Sanchez for sure. Good long-term move and Hazard isn't even going to play. Worth the hit no doubt about it

  5. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who's worried about not owning Sanchez?

    Looks like my rival has taken a -8 to bring him in, tempting me to do Sane > Sanchez for -4

    Hmmm

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

        I hope for bailly >.< or should i do valencia -> bailly for free instead of getting sanchez , or just do both..

  8. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Getting bottomed out pretty fast now.
    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

    Eriksen or Son?
    Also, when should I get Sanchez? GW 31?

    1. pls

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

  10. Jumping Jurgen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Within 50 points of ml leader although as are 3 others.

    Looking to play a Dif this week but fear not having Sanchez, team currently:

    Jaku

    Coleman Alonso Robertson (Stones/Olsson)

    Firmino Eriksen Siggy King Mane

    Lukaku Carrol Origi

    A) Firmino - Pedro
    B) Firmino/Origi - Sanchez/4.4attacker (-4)
    C) Firmino/Origi - Pedro/ Defoe (-4)
    D) Anything else

    Cheers!

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years

      C. Priority is getting rid Origi

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

        C in this case.

    2. Vlekz
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe just origi to defoe or Gabbi or deeney.
      Or C if u feel Sanchez will explode. But do get origi out. I doubt he will play

  11. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Need some more opinions

    Alon Bains* Walker* -- Brunt Amat
    Mane Cout Siggy Haz* -- Davies

    Kaku Vardy Llorente

    Assume Haz is out surely, what would you do?

    A. Haz> sanchez/erik for -4?

    B. Let Davies cover this week?

    C. Davies > King (-4)

      Bournemouth are awful

      1. b✪mber
        • 10 Years

        So we don't trust the rumor of Haz not playing

    2. Zlat-man

      Haz might not play

      1. b✪mber

        I know... I don't wanna throw AoA just like I did last year, but if the rumor is wrong I'm fkucked.

  18. Chris_White

    Brunt to Valencia (and play instead of Mawson) or save?

    Heaton
    Coleman, Baines, Mawson
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy
    Aguero, Lukaku, A. Carroll

    Jaku, Brunt, T. Carroll, Chambers

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team. I did brunt to Valencia. Are u (c) lukaku? I'm tempted by aguero just to be different as chasing

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

        Sanchez (c), I'm chasing too. Even considering Siggy....

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Bit worried about not having Sanchez this week. Waiting another 2 weeks before getting him could be painful

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

      I think save. No rush. International break coming up so youd rather have 2 FT to play with when preparing for the next round

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

        Wise words. Cheers mate

    Also... chances of Walker starting, he's flagged as yellow currently?

      • 14 Years

      Knock. Will be fine

      sanchez being a differential (c) is pretty great, going with him too

  22. dhirst
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bench Stones or Brunt
    &
    A.Carroll or Llorente?

    Have Antonio and siggy too. Don't like having 2 West Ham or 2 Swansea but someone has to get the chop! Will llorente start? Higher ceiling? Hammers at home safer bet?

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

      Stones and Carroll

  23. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years

    Do i need any Chelsea players?
    Do i need Sanchez?

    Thanks...

    1. Vedas
      • 10 Years

      Cout to Sanchez

    Ok so had to WC:
    Ibra, Philips, Funes Mori, Firmino, traded kane in before injury. I was going to have to spend 16pts just to get an 11 out.

    Rate my WCT:
    Pickford
    Alonso Fuchs Davies
    Sanchez Alli Erikson Siggy King
    Lukaku Aguero

    Grant Holebas Barnes B

        Erik + kun to Costa + Haz?

    2. white heart pain
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Last one is Britos

    3. Guru Mediation
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd switch Grant to a DGW keeper, perhaps Valdes. Someone here mentioned Janmaat nstead of Holebas, which i like too. I'd prefeer Costa to Aguero as Kun is just not at the races this year. If you want city attacking coverage then Sane is the best.
      It's good, as is though

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just one player from the only three teams (Arsenal, Southampton and United) who are likely to have two DGW's is not enough IMO.

      1. white heart pain
