In line with our own Captain Poll, Paddy have earmarked Sergio Aguero (1.61) as the most likely to find the net over the weekend, ahead of his Sunday trip to Goodison Park. The Argentine looks in fine fettle after scoring and amassing seven attempts against champions Chelsea last time out. In appreciation of the Sky Blues’ unparalleled goal threat, back-up frontmen Wilfried Bony (1.90) and Kelechi Iheanacho (2.25) have also been afforded short odds against the Toffees.

Despite the fact he mustered zero shots at goal against Aston Villa, Wayne Rooney is tipped at 1.83 to open his account at home to Newcastle United. The favourable nature of the match-up also finds Memphis Depay (2.20) and Javier Hernandez (2.20) grouped near the top of the list, as the Red Devils search for their third consecutive victory and clean sheet. That makes Depay the most fancied midfielder to notch in the Gameweek.

Diego Costa (2.00) has been pinpointed as another player to pick up form, with Chelsea fancied to register goals at West Bromwich Albion, despite recent travails. Even so, Eden Hazard (2.50) slips out of the top 15 this weekend, reflecting the Blues’ inability to fashion a single big chance thus far.

Backed at 2.20 to notch the first goal of the new campaign, Harry Kane will fancy his chances at the King Power Stadium, having tallied four goals against Leicester City last season. Across the north London divide, Olivier Giroud (2.20) is favoured over Alexis Sanchez (2.37) when Liverpool pay a visit, while Theo Walcott (2.37) is priced prohibitively given that he remained rooted to the bench against Palace.

Scanning further down the list, Bafetimbi Gomis and Diafra Sakho are pitched at the 2.40 mark. The former has registered in both of Swansea’s opening fixtures and enjoys the prospect of facing a Sunderland rearguard that’s conceded seven goals already. The latter, meanwhile, will serve as West Ham’s principal goal threat in the wake of Mauro Zarate’s hamstring knock, as the Irons gear up for an enticing home tie against Bournemouth.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 3

TeamOdds
Man United1.90
Chelsea2.00
Crystal Palace2.29
Swansea2.40
Norwich2.50
Arsenal2.62
Man City2.70
West Ham3.10
Watford3.10
Southampton3.10

No side has conceded fewer shots at goal (15) than Manchester United (1.90), who are ranked as favourites to record a clean sheet for the second week running as Newcastle roll up to Old Trafford.

Only Sunderland (seven) have seen their net ripple more times than Chelsea (five) this term, but that hasn’t prevented Paddy offering shorts odds on the Blues (2.00) for their road clash against the Baggies. Those Fantasy managers holding onto the likes of Branislav Ivanovic and Cesar Azpilicueta will be encouraged by the fact that Tony Pulis’ unit have registered just eight shots inside the box.

Crystal Palace are priced at 2.29 to snuff out Aston Villa’s attack at Selhurst Park, given that the Villains rank bottom for attempts (12) at present. Elsewhere, Swansea locks horns with the Black Cats in pursuit of a second successive clean sheet, with Paddy offering odds of 2.40 for such a scenario. Norwich City – who shipped three goals in their last home encounter – are priced just back of the Swans at 2.50, as they play host to Stoke City later today.

Arsenal come in at 2.62 ahead of Liverpool’s visit to the Emirates. Despite carding consecutive 1-0 wins, the Merseysiders fashioned just five shots on target across those fixtures, which bodes well for the Gunners’ chances of a shut-out. Like the Reds, Manchester City are yet to concede this campaign but have been valued down at 2.70 due to form of Everton’s attacking contingent ahead of their Goodison Park showdown.

There are a trio of teams rounding off the top 10 with odds of 3.10. West Ham duke it out at home with a Cherries outfit that’s yet to score, while Watford and Southampton are matched equally for their head-to-head, with both sides drawing a blank last Gameweek.

    WC - is it garbage?

    McCarthy Guzan
    Darmian Huth Richards Gomez Baker
    Payet Depay Sanchez Mahrez Wanyama
    Lukaku Aguero Gomis

    Any help?

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years

      Only 1 City?

    2. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No Chelea cover. Could be a major issue, but that's what transfers are for.

    3. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Westwood for wanyama? Westwood on some set pieces. I'd like all my bench to play so Baker looks a problem but that's preference.
      I like your overall team

    4. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Needs Silva

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Do you think Silva away to Everton with Aguero in the team already is a good choice?

        I was thinking of doing Payet > Silva next week.

        Also, will bring in Westwood for Wanyama.

        Double AVL df is more bench. Any 4.5 defenders better than RIchards? Bring in Myhill for Guzan?

    5. DK5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Its definetly not garbage but I few issues I have with it.

      Do you have enough faith in Villa for a defensive double up?
      Only one city player.
      Wanyama - I think Surman or Westwood are better choices.
      Lukaku is more of a personal preference. He could continue his good form.

      40% of teams own tekkers and some even put the armband on so when he scores you risk going down the league

      Muniesa for me. Although Francis is much liked here

  4. Captain Shirokov

    Bench is just bench fodder and 0.1 ITB 🙂

  6. The Bandit

    Chadli or Payet?

    Ta 🙂

    1. Fernando Torres

      Payet

      1. DK5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Payet. Easier to swich to Chadli if he starts a run of form.

        1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
          • 15 Years

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      6/10

      Defence is a mess and your wasting money in mid&att if you're benching Ayew this week

      1. read
        • 13 Years

        The Ayew transfer has its purpose - the price rise 😉

    2. Root

      10 years, 5 months ago

      0/10 with Ayew benched.

    3. The Mandalorian

      good defence should get you lots of 0's and 1's every GW

  8. Boydinho

    Myhill, McCarthy
    Richards, Shaw, Jenko, Williams, Targett
    Silva, Sanchez, Westwood, Mane, Ayew
    Kun, Diouf, Sakho

    Good to go? Leicester looks good (maybe Vardy in?)

    3. BLACKSHEEP

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not sure of a CS, just fancy the gamble.

        1. BLACKSHEEP
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough! Ah, I have them both tbf, but McCarthy is almost an accidental pick up!

  10. JoeShmoe

    Payet or Depay?

    1. woodenarmadillo
      • 14 Years

      😀 thinking the same. Some people suggesting both. Others Depay.. Seems like Depay over payet is the average comments.

    1. read
      • 13 Years

      I believe after the hype of this boosted price irl it will be at least 9 if none 9.5.

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I think so. Can't see him being Silvas price but will be more than Yaya, 9.5 seems right

  12. Gurra

      V nice Ludo. Don't fancy Swansea attack?

      1. Ludo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I do, it just so happened that I picked the attackers that I wanted, and it didn't include one! Fixtures aren't anything special after this week anyway, and I'm no believer in coverage. I think they'll do well, but that's fine as long as my players perform.

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Nice! Only worry are the keepers for me.

      1. Ludo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not too convinced either, but at 8.5, I should at least get some save points.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ludo, you're a sensible fellow. 🙂

      What made you choose Huth over Morgan? My only worry is Huth is closer to a price drop..

      1. Ludo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        1 BPS ahead, slightly better history of scoring goals. Nothing in it tbh!

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I know! 🙂 The only decision I'm not sure about.

          Really like the team. Is the (c) anywhere near Memphis this week?

          1. Ludo

    A. Save FT but who to bench Mane, Benteke or Sakho?
    B. Roo and Haz for -4 to Aguero and Depay

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years

      Mane I guess

    Anyone think Walcott will get a run-out against Liverpool even 20 mins etc? (got him in the Sun dream team and only have 1 emergency transfer, hoping for a straight swap with KDB if he signs next week)

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No I think Walcott is now officially deadwood

    2. Lucas Leiva
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be surprised if he doesn't come off the bench, minimum.

      God knows

      1. smash
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He's defiantly going next week, just clutching at straws really - would be a nice goodbye present if he does comes on

        cheers guys.

    What's the situation with Oxford?

      It's still in the same place.

    2. Lucas Leiva
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Tough to get starts now with Obiang fit, but could be thrown a few over the next couple of months. Definitely wouldn't rely on him.
