Without an early kick-off to trigger an 11.45 deadline, we have more time than usual to consider our options before the bell tolls. That gives us plenty of opportunity to welcome Paddy Power’s thoughts on just where the goals will and won’t be scored over Gameweek 10.

Before we consider Paddy’s Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet odds, let’s have a scan of the offers that our bookmaker buddies are dealing over the weekend.

First up, there’s a tasty treble on offer with odds of 18/1 on victories for Chelsea (at West Ham), Arsenal (at home to Everton) and Real Madrid (at Celta Vigo). New Customers can also get the chance to collect over £300 in free bets until the end of the season if they bet £10 on a weekly basis.

The second Saturday offering drops in on the Emirates tea-time clash as the Gunners face off against Everton. Those of you who go without Alexis Sanchez as their skipper can attempt to cover themselves with a flutter on an Arsenal victory at 4/1; the regular odds on that result is 4/9.

Paddy are all over Sunday’s derby matches. First up, new customers can get a huge 9/1 on a Newcastle win in the Wear-Tyne derby at noon (regular odds 9.5). Following that, they can also pick up either 8/1 on a Man United victory or 9/1 on a City win in the 2pm kick-off at Old Trafford.

Be sure to check the teams and conditions on all those offers and, of course, we should state that all these specials are only available to those aged 18. If you’re going to wager, always gamble responsibly.

An Arsenal trio of Theo Walcott, Olivier Grioud and Alexis Sanchez (all at 1.90) are joint favourites to score this weekend as Arsene Wenger’s side play host to Everton. All three are in fine goalscoring form, with Walcott having notched two goals in his last five league outings, while Sanchez boasts six in three starts. Considering that the Gunners racked up 11 goals in their previous trio of match-ups, Paddy are covering all the bases here and their odds seem to reinforce Sanchez’ position at the top of our Captain Poll.

Following the Gunners contingent, we find Chelsea’s Diego Costa – tipped at 2.00 ahead of the trip to West Ham United. The Spain international has struggled to exert his influence this term, averaging a shot just once every 48.8 minutes, but he did grace the scoresheet last time out against Aston Villa. The Hammers have conceded eight goals across their last four home ties, a factor which supports Paddy’s confidence in the Blues and, in particular, Costa’s claim for goals. Out of interest, Eden Hazard has odds of 3.10 on an anytime goal.

Both Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke (2.29) are tied ahead of their meeting with Southampton at Anfield. The Reds ranked third for attempts (69) and shots on target (26) across the last four Gameweeks but suffered from a 7.2% shot-conversion rate. With Sturridge still troubled by a knee complaint, Benteke is the most likely to get minutes against the Saints, with Paddy clearly fancying goals for the home side in this one; meanwhile, Graziano Pelle is out at 3.10 for the visitors.

Jamie Vardy is handed identical odds to extend his scoring streak to seven consecutive matches as the Foxes take on Palace at the King Power. Vardy is pushing Sanchez close for the armband as we head into the 2pm deadline and, while Paddy’s odds show confidence, it should be noted that Palace have shipped just three goals in four league outings on the road and have allowed just a single Big Chance to their opponents – fewer than any other side in the league on their travels.

Harry Kane’s odds have dropped from 2.29 to 2.50 overnight to reflect his current form and perhaps the fact that Spurs could be leggy following Thursday’s Europa League exploits. The misfiring frontman has only notched one goal this campaign but Kane will look to profit from a Bournemouth rearguard that places top for big chances conceded (15) over the last four Gameweeks.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 10

TeamOdds
Stoke City2.29
Arsenal2.29
Norwich2.40
Liverpool2.70
Swansea City2.75
Tottenham2.80
Chelsea2.87

Having recorded shut-outs in their last two matches, Stoke are tipped at 2.29 to rebuff the advances of Watford. The Hornets rank bottom of the league for goals scored (six) this term and tallied the fewest shots on target (nine) of any side in the past four Gameweeks.

Arsenal are tied with the Potters at the top of Paddy’s reckoning. Wenger’s charges will draw encouragement from the fact that the Toffees have drawn blanks in two of their last three road matches, whilst pointing to their own home defensive record which shows just two goals conceded from four matches, allowing just 20 shots from inside the box (ranked third).

Norwich City come in next at 2.40 as they gear up for a Carrow Road meeting with West Brom. The Canaries are yet to register a clean sheet but are pitted against a Baggies outfit that ranks bottom for Big Chances created away from home – Tony Pulis’ men have mustered just two from their four away trips and only Newcastle have registered fewer goal attempts.

Liverpool clock in at 2.70 for Saints’ visit – this despite the visitors nothing an impressive 10 goals in their last four matches. Swansea City (2.75) are price similarly for their trip to Aston Villa, given that Tim Sherwood’s troops have only scored in one of their four home ties thus far.

Tottenham (2.80) and Chelsea (2.87) round off our assessment of clean-sheet prospects. Spurs go in search of their fifth clean sheet in seven match-ups when they pay a visit to the Cherries. Meanwhile, the Blues will need to stifle a Hammers attack that ranks second for goals scored (20) this campaign.

      Lol, was just checking. I know he's just scored a hat trick but still has to prove himself

      1. Pochecinno

        I've been working all night. Need some rest!!

      Don't, just don't.

  2. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry for asking about my defenders but this is a real headache..

    Have Darmian, Kolarov, Richards, Janmaat and Dawson

    Currently benching Darmian and Richards with Richards first sub. Correct order?

    Also, I will play Gomis who plays Richards

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Don't really understand the relevance of the last sentence but tes everything else - spot on

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

        Thanks, was just considering the conflict of interest in having a forward playing one of my defenders which could ultimately swing it in favour of benching Richards

        1. Nascimento
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Oh right, no I don't believe in that. I'd play both.

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

            So who to bench from Kolarov, Janmaat and Dawson then?

            1. Del Griffith
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 3 months ago

              bench Richards

  3. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    No vardy here. He is going to punish me again

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No Vardy here either. Sakho will do it for me

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Kane(c) for me

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Mahrez c

      2. Jimbo123
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I fancy Diafra today

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Let's hope he does the business. I've kept him ahead of Vardya as a differential

      3. lequipe
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        haha

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      could go bananas this gw, no way to get him in?

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Too mainstream now. I prefer differentials

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

          Well mainstream for a reason, only one blank and a very tasty fixture coming up.. But if you're happy with your front line then no need to change!

    3. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Probably

  4. Jimbo123
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    This article is making me want to go Walcott (c)

    Who's with me?

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

      It's not worth the risk of him starting on the bench. I'd be tempted if Giroud was injured though.

      1. Jimbo123
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Wenger said the other day that Theo is number 1 striker at the minute. Surely he starts?

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

          Probably. Sanchez makes life easier though.

    2. Revival

    All week I look for Milner replacement (Winjaldum, Barkley, Willian). In the end I replace him with Eriksen. Bad idea? I dont trust Newcastle attack at all...

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Nah...good choice...nice.

      Look at his avg position last week.

    2. Evs

      Not at all or get mata

    3. Dukes of Hazard

      Not at all, eriksen is a great pic who you rarely see in template teams.

    Who was on set pieces last week for Sunderland?

  13. n-doggg

    Captain:

    a. Sanchez
    b. Costa
    c. Mahrez
    d. Vardy

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

  14. sbasty

    Can't bring myself to let Hazard go... should I just be ruthless?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      might as well hold on now

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Alittude
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      see how he goes today

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No, I'm keeping. Potentially one last game though.

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Keep him if you trust in him.

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sold last night.. Reluctantly but Erikson can outscore him in the next two weeks. If he blnks this week it going to be harder to lose him next cos of fixtures. Now or never imo

  15. DJfresh
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Martial or Pelle to start?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 3 months ago

      Martial

  16. OptimusBlack

    I need to BENCH on of them 😥

      Pelle probably

    2. Evs

      See, a 5 midfield issue again...

      3-4-3 needed,

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I have the sexy midfield of Sanchez De Bruyne Mahrez Payet.

        With so many scoring, though, there really isn't a template, which is good for catching up in a ML.

    3. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Great team. I would bench Pelle, but really, who knows?

    4. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I think its between Pelle and Martial. Tbf your just going to have to take the plunge and accept the outcome. Go with your gut.

    5. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Actually maybe use your all out attack chip?

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Uncle Jesse has a valid point. If you still have it, this might be the time to use it.

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Used it last week 🙁

    6. CABAYE4

      Payet

  17. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework

    First to five win.

      1. Dr Dream

        Yeah...a real tough one this week.

        Just going to have to trust to luck for the right call.

          • Has Moderation Rights

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Vardy....although Ozil and Sanchez are sorely tempting.

            Decision made though.

    Here's my defence

    Darmian, Kompany, Bellerin, Richards, Targett

    Sell which one for Moreno?
    1. Richards - home to Swansea, price close to dropping
    2. Targett - doesn't play

    Thanks

      Targett

    2. athreya

      Targett

      Richards.

      Targett is fine as 5th defender bench fodder.

    Hi!

    Darmian - Azpilicueta - Richards

    De Bruyne - Mahrez - Sánchez (VC) - Redmond

    Pellè - Martial - Vardy (C)

    SUBS: McCarthy (keeper), Barkley, Targett, Oxford

    Any suggestions? Should i try Barkley for Martial/Red/Mahr? Right choice of captain?

    What are you all doing with money from Aguero (sale)? Keeping or spreading around?

      I've still got it....Not planned though, I just haven't spent it.

      Spreading around. Will need 3 transfers to bring Agüero back but I'm ok with that.
