With Wildcard tinkering rolling on until deadline, itโ€™s time to sidetrack to assess whether Paddy Powerโ€™s latest odds can shape any last minute strategies.

Before we scan the odds for Anytime Goalscorers and Clean Sheets, a reminder that, if youโ€™re yet to register an account with Paddy, you can claim one of several enhanced odds offers over the weekend.

This weekโ€™s European acca offers odds of 20/1 on wins for PS G (at Guingamp), Man City (vs West Brom), Barcelona (at Real Sociedad) and Juventus (at AC Milan).

Switching to Sundayโ€™s live matches, new customers can get a beefed-up 6/1 on Leicester to maintain their relentless title charge with a win at Sunderland.

Later that day, you can choose to back Leicesterโ€™s rivals Spurs with Paddy offering 6/1 odds for a home win over Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

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

Despite the fact he failed to score in four of his last six starts, Sergio Aguero (1.61) has been handed the shortest odds by some margin. Although Man City are a more dominant attacking force with Kevin De Bruyne back on the teamsheet, Aguero may just be thwarted by a West Brom defence that conceded just three goals in their previous four road ties. In response to the Sky Bluesโ€™ 4-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend, Wilfried Bony (2.00), Kelechi Iheanacho (2.20) and De Bruyne (2.20) also feature in the top echelons of Paddyโ€™s assessment, with the bookmaker clearly backing goals for Manuel Pellegriniโ€™s men.

Considering that heโ€™s the leagueโ€™s form frontman โ€“ having bagged six goals in four outings โ€“ itโ€™s perhaps surprising that Harry Kane is pitched as long as 2.00 ahead of Manchester Unitedโ€™s visit to the Lane. Although Spurs chalked up 12 goals across their last five home encounters, the leagueโ€™s top scorer is their only representative in our table.

Prior to an enticing home clash against Newcastle United, Graziano Pelle and Charlie Austin (both 2.10) place in the top five. The former has notched three goals in as many starts and will relish the prospect of facing a Magpies rearguard thatโ€™s conceded 10 goals in their last four road trips.

Daniel Sturridge is also pitched at 2.10 before Liverpoolโ€™s contest against Stoke City at Anfield. Having been rested for the Merseysidersโ€™ Europa League meeting with Borussia Dortmund, the England striker looks well place to net for the third start in four. The Potters have just one clean sheet to their name in 10 outings, ensuring that Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino (both 2.29) also feature in the ranks.

In the wake of Arsenalโ€™s resounding victories over Everton and Watford, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez (both 2.29) are priced keenly for a trip to West Ham United. The latter has recovered from a mid-season slump โ€“ notching two goals and three assists in four appearances โ€“ and currently ranks fifth for Fantasy Premier League โ€œtransfers inโ€ prior to the Gameweek deadline.

While Romelu Lukaku has dominated this weekโ€™s Captain Poll ahead of his double Gameweek, Paddy have pitched him mid-table, handing him odds of 2.37 to notch anytime at Watford prior to his midweek visit to Palace.

Southampton2.10
Liverpool2.10
Tottenham2.37
Crystal Palace2.50
Chelsea2.50
Bournemouth2.50
Leicester City2.60
Everton2.75
Arsenal2.87

Man City (1.83) have conceded just once in their last four outings and are matched up against a Baggies unit thatโ€™s drawn successive blanks, prompting Paddy to grant them the shortest clean-sheet odds.

Southampton (2.10) currently place second as they prepare to host a Magpies attack that failed to score in three of their previous five away match-ups. Liverpool have now have identical odds to the Saints having come in from 2.20, although Jugen Kloppโ€™s side will do well to silence a Stoke outfit thatโ€™s notched in every match since the beginning of February.

In the capital, Tottenham (2.37) will fancy their chances of repelling a Man United attack thatโ€™s carded three goals in four fixtures; Spurs have conceded just once in their last three league outings.

Crystal Palace and Chelsea both come in at the 2.50 mark before mid-afternoon encounters on Saturday. The Eagles havenโ€™t recorded a shut-out in 12 outings but will face a Norwich City side that has posted blanks in four of their last five away trips. Meanwhile, the Blues pay visit to Swansea City, who have netted in all but one of their previous 13 fixtures.

Despite their two recent heavy defeats, Bournemouth are valued at 2.50 as they travel to face an Aston Villa side that is looking to avoid a fifth consecutive blank. Despite claiming four clean sheets in a row, league leaders Leicester (2.60) are handed relatively long odds for their trip to face relegation threatened Sunderland.

      Martial or Bellerin for me

  2. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thoughts on my wildcard:

    Mignolet Robles
    Rojo Simpson Sakho Bellerin Gabriel
    Coutinho KDB Sanchez Payet Lingard
    Martial Lukaku Aguero

    Will have Bolasie instead of Payet for 33

    Opinions much appreciated

    1. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm a United fan and I highly rate Martial.

      I still think the return of Rooney will push him out wider and therefore lower his returns. Rooney will be back in 34.

        Thanks. Thoughts on Rojo?

  3. Arvin-ation

    Pick one please.

    A) Gabriel

    B) Rojo

    C) Darmian

    D) Sakho

    Already have Moreno.

    3. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A or C

      Darmian or Smalling are best United options.

      Gabriel as a budget Arsenal option

      Don't double up on Liverpool, they rarely keep clean sheets.

    1. Viper

      Plenty I'd say.

      Not me though

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      probably a few

    3. Flying Assassins

    4. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am because they are top of the league and second for a reason.

      Form, Class, Results, all in their favour

  6. Jones Town
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Play 1:

    A) Monreal (whu)
    B) Gabriel (whu)

    Cheers!

      Simpson

  7. FPL Emu

    9 years, 8 months ago

    If we focus on getting nailed-on players, how is this wildcard team?

    Migs - Robles

    Bellerin - Sakho - Clichy - Coleman - Delaney

    Sanchez - Ozil - Milner - Payet - Lanzini

    Deeney - Aguero - Lukaku

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Milner and Deeney too weak. Try to upgrade one of them. Coleman too pricey for the returns. Clichy might be rotated.

  8. FantasyFS007
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT lads, please rip apart if need be!!

    Robles | Darlow
    Bellerin | Smalling | Gabriel | Sakho | Simpson
    Sanchez | Coutinho | Payet | Lennon | Lanzini
    Kun | Lukaku | Martial

    £0.1 ITB

  9. athreya
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    DDG/Darlow
    Dan/Gab/Sakhi/Fuchs/TFM
    Lanzini/Alexis/KdB/Cout/Lennon
    Luk/Kun/Martial

    GW35 will do 3 transfers (-4) to get 11 playing. No BB. GW35 Alexis TC.

    Sounds good? Appreciate your responses.

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd prefer to use TC in gwk 34 ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. athreya
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Face palm. Yep.

  10. FantasyHeadache
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    For some reason I like my pre-WC team more than the current one...

    Pre-WC
    Migs Rudd
    Fuchs VVD Kolarov Bellerin Dawson
    Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli Arnie
    Vardy Aguero Kane

    Current
    Robles Darlow
    Simpson Darmian Sakho Bellerin Delaney
    Ozil Payet Mahrez Coutinho Bolasie(then Sanchez next week)
    Luk Aguero Martial

    Could have just done Kolarov to Darmian, Alli to Coutinho and Arnie to Bolasie for -12. But Sanchez totally torn my team apart.

    Anyone else feels like WC makes the team worse?

  11. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I have ended up going Firminho and Clyne instead of Sakho and Coutinho.

    Safe enough right?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

  12. 8ball
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    payet and milner

    or

    kdb and lanzini

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. I have also gone without Payet.

  13. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is this team ok for BB in 34 and TC in 37

    Robes mignolet

    Bellerin Gabriel Delaney Darmian Evans

    Sanchez Payet Coutinho Firmino Lennon

    Aguero Lukaku Martial

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    start sakho or bellerin?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same dilemma, but I'm going Bellerin I think.

      1. Too scared to bench him
      2. Stoke not failed to score since GW25
      3. Liv played Thursday
      4. Can suspended, Lucas and Henderson injured

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        sound. I think the same

  15. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who will I get??

    a) Jagielka

    b) Simpson

  16. Who Ate All Depays?

    Guys, thoughts on this final WC draft with 0.6m itb?

    Robles / Migs
    Simpson / Bellerin / Gabriel / Darmian /.Sakho
    Lanzini / Sanchez / KDB / Payet / Firminho
    Aguero / Lukaku / Martial

    2 players --> dgw33

    I have Sakho and Delaney, but thinking of doubling on Liv Defence with

    Delany out and Clyne in

    I dont have faith in the Palace defence even with a DGW. And Clyne gives me a GW35 player.

    Wise to go in with no palace players this GW?

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years

      Guess only two palace players worth punting on, Dann and Bolasie.
