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.

    Rooney or Fabregas

      Rooney.

        I would agree with you

        He has been shocking

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Mourinho shouldn't have played him in the double pivot against MC though, tactical suicide.

    5. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Fabregas.

      Rooney has been playing OK, he's just forgotten he's supposed to be playing as a striker.

      Fabregas, on the other hand, has just been poor.

  2. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    What's bound to happen this Game Week:

    - Rooney scores a brace
    - Walcott starts/subs on and scores
    - Lukaku scores a hattrick
    - Aguero and Gomis blank
    - Mahrez gets sent off
    - Kolarov gets injured in the warm up.

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

      Don't forget Sterling and Hazard with a goal and assist each.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Ah yes, that too. 🙁

        Rooney is a real worry though...especially after his comments.

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

      If all of that happens I'll look pretty silly.

      Shipping Rooney & Walcott.

      Bringing in Lukaku Aguero Gomis Mahrez.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        At least you get the Trollkaku hattrick!

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Those two, Raheem and Tekkers for me....

    3. 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      First 2. Could be some Kolarov antics too.

      1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I've had him all week but thinking that Clichy could give me too much of a headache. Everton will look to hit on the counter. Risk that Kolarov could be found out of position.

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

          It's always going to be a headache with him, unless you are always going to have a capable first sub just in case he is benched.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      All cos they would all add to my worse ever start..bar kol injured I'd like that

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

      Mane will score too and Cedric will get the assist

    6. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Fernandinho wagon?

    7. MemphisDepay7
      • 10 Years

      Coates and Ruddy keep clean sheets, Mane bags a brace too

  3. MagicMessi

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      we got the same player except for Kompany..mine is Kolarov..so I'll say we're good to go..maybe

      1. HavertzHero
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        yes mate thanks good luck

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

      V good but I'd rather have Kolorov and Williams instead of Mompany and Richards

    How come no one seems to be picking a West Ham defender?

    Better fixtures than Swansea.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Overpriced

    2. Milner4eva

  12. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Wouldnt be surprised if there are several away team wins this week. Bournemouth, Stoke, Spurs, Swansea and obv Chelsea and City are all worthy candidates.

    Morning!

    What are the community's thoughts on the best 4.5 midfielder?

    I'm looking at Obertan. However I have also been looking at Surman and Westwood.

    Risk that Obertan not nailed?

    Be good to get some thoughts before the deadline...

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

      I have westwood

      1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Think he's nailed? Who's competing for him for that spot? On set pieces too?

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

          He's on free kicks and corners, Villa have good fixtures

          1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Cheer bud. Made the switch on WC.

              Good Luck!

      2. RVP fc
        • 13 Years

        Was better westwood and Surman. Westwood on set pieces swung me

        1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
          • 12 Years

          Cheer bud. Made the switch on WC.

    2. MemphisDepay7
      • 10 Years

      won't get you many more than 2 point hauls weekly but Wanyama and Coquelin are the most nailed in.

      1. Super PVA - Small Spuds

    On a wildcard. Been trying to fit Hazard, Sanchez, Aguero and Silva in. Think I am going with this:

    Butland/Ruddy
    Darmian/Kolarov/Richards/Gomez/Targett
    Hazard/sanchez/Silva/Mahrez/Wanyama
    Aguero/Deeney/Wilson

    0.3 in the bank

    1. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Surprisingly decent. Playing 4 at the back most weeks i assume though?

    2. Elfman

      I am - I figure if I've kept him in for one last week because he is home to Newcastle then I should keep faith with that being a sound decision and. He was also 2nd in the Poll when I last looked.

    Currently have 4.4M for a defender on a WC im otherwise v.happy with. Had hoped Francis would drop, but he didn't which has scuppered my plans. Would you guys in my situation, get:

    a) A non-playing 4.0M and upgrade later, perhaps when Fracnis drops (wastes a FT)
    b) buy Coates (4.4)
    c) Buy mings (4.4) hoping he comes into first 11 soon.

    Not interested in Oxford, Saylor or Targett.

      Would get Targett. Probably got a few weeks yet until Bertie back?
