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.

  3. Futbol Heritage
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Two Questions. Any help would be rewarded with an aguero brace this weekend

    Kolarov or Sagna. I know the pros and cons [I think] just very nervous about dropping Kol and losing 0.1 and attacking pts

    Gomez worth the risk, short term. 4.6 for Liv def

    Rest of def is

    Mcc Butland
    Kol Shaw Gomez Richards Francis

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

      Kolarov

      Not for me.

      1. Futbol Heritage
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate. Guess I'll go with the standard three way rotation of AV-LEI-Wat then with the Manc defenders

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

      I'd go Kolarov. Rest of the defence is solid should he not start.

      Worth having Gomez, looks to continue at LB for the foreseeable.

      1. Futbol Heritage
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Only problem is if Kol and Gomez get benched same week

  4. bodsc
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone in for Coutinho?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

      Barcelona.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years

    3. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Spiderm4tt transferred him out.

  5. lickwidice
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Butland -

    Kosc, Cedric, Azpil
    Payet, Yaya, Mane, Mahrez
    Sakho, Aguero, Benteke

    Bench: Ruddy; Ritchie, Richards, Coates

    Did I pick the right 11?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Good to go.

      For the future, I'd get rid of one of your mids to a 4.5. That's a benching headache.

      1. lickwidice
        • 16 Years

            Is he nailed? Attacking? Between him and Westwood for me

  6. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Anything worth a hit in your opinion? 1.4 ITB

    Schmeichel
    Azpi Mert Cathcart
    Haz Ramsey Chadli Mahrez
    Kun Tekkers Sakho

    Guzan Fletcher Francis Baker

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

      Haz --> Silva but not sure if worth a hit if you can do it for free next week.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Will see next week. Cheers.

    2. Tshelby

    Butland McCarthy
    Kompany Shaw Williams Richards Saylor

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      McCarthy to Mayhill (then rotate keepers)

      William, Saylor to two 4.5 defenders

  9. Kavali
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who should I bench:
    A) Fabregas
    B) Redmond
    C) Benteke
    D) Sakho

    Cheers. P.S: All WC teams i saw here are pretty much the same. And it is only third week!

  10. Raddy
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know if Mings will be getting a starting place eventually?

  11. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Gomez or Norwich defender (Martin) ?

    Myhill/Butland
    Kompany, Shaw, Richards, Prodl, XXXXXX

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

      Gomez

  12. Paanmonkey

    Who got the highest in Captain poll for now ?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Kun

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      There's only one Kun Aguero.

  13. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    This is me, finalement, howay the lads:

    McCarthy
    Darmian, Kompany, R.Martin
    Hazard, Sanchez (vc), Yaya, Mahrez
    Aguero (c), Gomis, Deeney

    b: Myhill, Westwood, Richards, Targett.

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

      very nice

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Looking good Tony. Pretty much what I have, only differences are Yaya instead of Silva and the funds spent in defence.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe get a 4.4 for Richards to improve Targett to 4.5 in the coming weeks, that's the bit I really don't like but I can't go against Hazard vs WBA & Palace.

        Could easily post 10 & 10 in those games, 😉

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Have you considered Kompany to Kolarov and Targett to a 4.5m?

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Just seeing this.

            I have but as much as I like Kolarov and admire those he pick he there will be weeks he just won't play. Maybe 70% 30 % nailed on / not nailed on.

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        What's yours Milanista?

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Butland, McCarthy
          Kolarov, Gomez, Richards, Prodl, Targett
          Silva, Sanchez, Hazard, Mahrez, Westeood
          Aguero, Gomis, Deeney

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I really like it.

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

      Good stuff. Hazard could be the big one for you.

    4. Emre Can Pie

      Not nailed. Best defender in the game regardless.
