Twin Gunners lead the way, with Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud heading up Paddy’s list of likely goalscorers ahead of their Emirates meeting with Sunderland.

Arsenal are in the midst of a three-match winless streak but will fancy their chances of punishing a Black Cats rearguard that ranks joint-top for goals conceded on the road (18). However, with Sam Allardyce all set to “park the bus” off the back of three clean sheets in the last five, and with the Gunners ravaged by injuries, this may yet be a struggle for Arsene Wenger’s men.

Southampton’s Graziano Pelle ranks next as the towering Italian returns to league action following suspension, just in time to face a fragile Aston Villa defence. Pelle has netted just once in five matches but is up against a Villa side who are without Ciaran Clark and could also be missing skipper Micah Richards. Remi Garde’s side have shipped 17 goals in seven away trips and look unlikely to keep Pelle and Sadio Mane (2.29) at bay.

Paddy place a quartet of strikers at 2.00 for an anytime goal.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku will be looking to prolong a run of five goals in four league outings when Crystal Palace turn up at Goodison Park on Monday night. Meanwhile, Diego Costa will be hoping for a Chelsea recall for the visit of a Bournemouth side that’s conceded 30 goals this season – a total matched only by the obliging Newcastle rearguard. That’s reason enough for Paddy to also place Eden Hazard at 2.10, the top ranked midfield asset behind Walcott.

The Magpies back four will come under scrutiny when Liverpool roll up to St James’ Park off the back of a 6-1 midweek demolition of Southampton in the Capital One Cup, with Paddy backing Daniel Sturbridge to repeat his St Mary’s salvo. Finally, Harry Kane is also priced at 2.00: he’s up against a West Brom home defence that’s leaked three goals on four occasions in front of their own fans this season.

Jamie Vardy is priced out at 2.20 to maintain his record-breaking goalscoring form when he travels to South Wales to face Swansea, with Man City’s Wilfried Bony following on with odds of 2.25 for a goal: the Ivorian is set to spearhead the City attack at Stoke in Sergio Aguero’s absence.

Man United’s Memphis Depay and Anthony Martial enjoy short odds (2.29) for West Ham visit. Although the Red Devils have accrued just five goals since Gameweek 10, their attacking recruits will draw encouragement from the fact that the Hammers are without a shut-out in nine league outings.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 15

Arsenal1.80
Manchester United1.83
Southampton2.00
Chelsea2.00
Tottenham2.29
Liverpool2.29
Manchester City2.40
Watford2.70
Everton3.00

Arsenal (1.80) are the favourites to register a clean sheet as they lock horns with a Black Cats side that notched just three goals in their last five road ties. Lending credence to Paddy’s valuation, the North Londoners surrendered the joint-least shots inside the box (19) over the last four Gameweeks.

Man United (1.83), Southampton and Chelsea (both 2.00) are ranked next ahead of their respective home match-ups. The Red Devils’ defence has been breached just once on home soil this campaign, while Saints are up against a Villa outfit that’s created just five “big chances” away from home all season – the lowest in the league.

Meanwhile, Chelsea (2.00) go in search of their third consecutive shut-out when Bournemouth roll up to Stamford Bridge. The Blues allowed the joint-fewest big chances (one) in the last four Gameweeks but are squaring up to a Cherries attack that ranked top for attempts (71) and key passes (55) during the same period.

There’s nothing to separate Tottenham and Liverpool (both 2.29) from a defensive standpoint this Gameweek. Spurs have seen their net ripple on just four occasions in the last six Gameweeks, while the Reds face off against a Newcastle unit that has drawn three blanks in the previous five Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Butland of course. He's bound to get some jammy haul or other - pen save maybe.

    Are the people captaining Kane doing so to try and recoup the 4 points hi? Or are people who already had Kane also captaining him?

    1. Numb

    To those worried about Stoke-ManC game being called off. Here's what I found online (posted 5 mins ago)

    the rain seems to have stopped now and the birds have started up their chorus so i expect it will hold off.
    the wind is crisp, blowing like billy-o, so it feels colder than it is.
    the skies are light grey with bits of blue trying to poke through.
    wrap up everyone, should be a cracker.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not a risk

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Not particularly.

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years

      No, why? The opposite if anything.

    4. Sooda

      Sunderland do have this new found solidity at the back...

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        the thing with Ozil we are almost leaning on assists. it does have risk yes

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Am becoming more tempted by Hazard

          1. HellasLEAF
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            he should at least get one assist though

      I'm considering shipping him to Sturridge for -4

      I'm mad right?

      He's a captain potential this week

      1. Aarono23
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yes as Sturridges game time likely to be limited/minimal

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

    Dawson or Hoolahan first sub?

    1. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't see WBA CS so Hoolahan, doesn't normally play away matches but Norwich shouldn't be so cautious vs Watford

    Morning... Playing Hazard captain today Stupid or Genius

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Could be genius

      1. Vman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I just think at the moment i know i should not be saying this but Hazard is the differential.

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I think your right.
          Wish i had him.

          1. Vman
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I think most who are using the Aguero funds might just do so, a good run of fixtures coming up for the festive season and who doesn't want a chelsea player or 2 over that period...

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how many points he gets.

      1. Vman
        • 12 Years

        Thats the same with any captain pick??

    The captain choice comes down to this To Daniel or To Ross just so I can enjoy some Saturday football 🙂
    Probably going with Barkley but I know Palace will a hard shell to crush.. and Sturridge will probably play 60' or less...

      It's a tough week for Captain choice.

    • 15 Years

    Morning. Please help me. I can only just put out a team this week and have made my transfer. I cant see anyone who is worth taking a hit for though? People I could get rid of are Westwood, Evans, Francis (Otherwise I'd have to play one of these 3) 2.2 in the bank.

    Thinking Westwood to either Deulofeu or Milner? Only concern is Delf could easily get a rest soon and over xmas period, whereas I'd say Milner is nailed on? Any other good nailed on options worth the -4? Bournemouth players have good stats but bad fixtures!

    Cheers

    1. internal error

      Milner is not nailed on

    2. ebb2sparky

      No hit, play evans

  25. Jönny

    Sod it, captaining Sturridge.

    Mignolet (McCarthy)
    Morgan Azpi Dawson (Janmaat Francis)
    Kdb Mane Mahrez Delefou (Wijnaldum)
    Sturridge (c) Vardy Lukaku

  26. Van der Faart

    Bench 1;

    Hazard
    Mane
    Mahrez
    KDB
    Barkley
    Kane
    Ighalo
    Vardy

    1. Jönny

      Ooh that is horrid. Ighalo for me I think. Or Mahrez.

    2. Rhinos

      bqrkley

    3. bodgejob
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That's tough, I'd bench one of Vardy or Mahrez and hope for the best

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      RMT says Mahrez. But we all know what happens when he's on the bench.

  27. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Decided to keep KUN for this week.

    Leaves me playing Simpson in his place. I also have Cedric who might not start, which would bring STANISLAS in.

    Thoughts on Janmaat ---> Moreno -4 and play Moreno ahead of Simpson?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      play janmaat, can get attacking returns

      1. Krul Runnings
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'm 90% sure he won't keep a clean sheet & Simpson can get attacking returns too. So im sticking with Simpson.

        Cheers anyway

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hits for a defender are a no go in my book. I'd play Simpson.

  28. bodgejob
