We’ve built Gameweek 34 up to almost epic proportions and now, after a humbling experience last weekend, we’re left wondering if it’s going to come crashing down around our ears. Can Paddy Power’s odds somehow offer us reassurance as the deadline descends upon us?

Before we scan Paddy’s Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet reckoning, a reminder that those without an account with our bookmaker friends can look to cash in on another raft of weekend bets offering enhanced odds.

Paddy’s Premier League treble offers new customers huge odds of 25/1 on wins for Manchester United (vs Aston Villa), Everton (vs Southampton) and Man City (at Chelsea). You can also get an individual offer on that Chelsea vs City clash with Paddy offering boosted odds of 9/1 on a win for Manuel Pellegrini’s troops.

Sunday also comes packaged with its own treble bet with odds of 16/1 available on wins for Liverpool (at Bournemouth), Leicester (vs West Ham) and Arsenal (vs Crystal Palace). Again, you can get individual enhanced odds on that Emirates match-up with Paddy providing odds of 4/1 on a win for the Gunners.

Finally on Monday night, you can choose to put your money on Tottenham’s title chase as Paddy offer up odds of 6/1 on a Spurs win at Stoke City.

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 you’re going to wager, always gamble responsibly.

With Manchester United heavily backed to dish out some heavy damage to a lowly Aston Villa outfit at Old Trafford, it’s no surprise to see their attacking protagonists dominate Paddy’s goalscoring chart.

Wayne Rooney’s name at the top with odds of just 1.72 is, however, a little jarring. He seems likely to be given an initial watching brief for today’s encounter but he’s also backed here by likely starters – double Gameweek favourite, Anthony Martial (1.83) and our Differential pick, Marcus Rashford (2.20). Visitors Villa arrive in Manchester having shipped 13 goals in their last five league outings.

With three goals in his last four starts, Captain Poll leader Alexis Sanchez (1.90) ranks third before Arsenal’s home clash against Crystal Palace.

The Eagles’ rearguard was breached seven times in their last three road ties, ensuring that Olivier Giroud (2.10), Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott (all 2.29) are also priced keenly. It should also be noted that Alex Iwobi’s form has not gone unrecognised by Paddy – the 4.7 priced starlet is also handed odds of just 2.29 for a goal in Sunday’s Emirates encounter.

With a weary Manchester City pitted against a resurgent Chelsea outfit, Sergio Aguero – despite scoring in his last two league starts – is handed relatively modest odds of 2.00 for a Gameweek goal. For that same reason, the explosive Argentine claimed just 19% of the vote in our Captain Poll.

Fresh from a brace against Sunderland, Jamie Vardy (2.10) locks horns with a West Ham United defence that’s conceded nine goals in four fixtures. Harry Kane can also be backed at 2.10 when he takes on a Stoke City back line that surrendered four goals at Anfield last time out.

Considering that Romelu Lukaku (2.29) is carrying a minor groin injury and hasn’t scored in four league outings, the Belgian appears to offer poor value ahead of a home encounter with Southampton. Everton have posted three blanks in their previous four match-ups and have been abject in front of their own fans throughout the campaign. Having said that, the Saints arrive on Merseyside without a shut-out in their last seven which will offer a crumb of comfort to those holding Lukaku in hope he comes through his pre-match fitness test.

Aston Villa have failed to score in four of their last five matches further promoting a Manchester United defence that has been imperious at Old Trafford. That installs Louis van Gaal’s men as clear favourites to seal a Gameweek clean sheet with short odds of just 1.57 on the shut-out.

Despite shipping three goals to Andy Carroll and West Ham at Upton Park last time out, Arsenal (2.00) remain a strong bet against a Crystal Palace attack that has notched just three goals in their last four league matches.

Further down the odds, Spurs (2.40) have registered shut-outs in three of their last four fixtures and have conceded fewer goals than any team in away fixtures (13), while West Bromwich Albion (2.50) will fancy their chances of stifling a Watford unit that has drawn blanks in four of their previous six outings.

West Ham have their work cut out besting a Leicester (2.62) defence that’s tallied seven clean sheets in eight home ties. Meanwhile, Norwich City (2.80) will attempt to rebuff the advances of a Sunderland side that’s scored just twice in their last four in a tense Carrow Road six-pointer.

Newcastle United and Liverpool are both pitched at 2.80 for the first of their double Gameweek showdowns. The Magpies mustered a solitary clean sheet in their previous 17 encounters, while the Reds battle a Bournemouth outfit that have carded blanks in two of their last three fixtures.

    Will Lennon play one of next two?

    Martinez suggests its just a knock so even if he plays one that would be ok with me.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      it's a hamstring not a knock. He said he was concerned. He may play 1 though depending on extent of the strain/pull

    2. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i am hoping he will play

      kept him

    3. Puncheon Guly
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd expect all injured Everton players to be rested ahead of the cup

  2. gunner1994
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Start Kane or Mahrez?

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years

      Kane

    2. Chuckie
      • 11 Years

        Kane

    4. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years

      Bench boost, start both.

  3. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Right then.

    Thoughts on Gabriel Bolasie > Fosu-Mensah Iwobi (-8)

    Allows me Kane(c) for free next GW.

    Could it pay off over 3 games?

  4. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Still can't decide if lukaku out is worth a hit. Any tips?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Poor form
      Injury risk
      Tricky fixtures

    2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tough to find a replacement. Have martial and Aguero

  5. palalmas
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sitting on both Lukaku and Gabriel, and going for BB. 1 FT. Worth it to take one hit?

    Hart - Robles
    Bellerin - Delaney - Lovren - Sakho - GABRIEL
    Coutinho - Payet - Sanchez - Lanzini - KdB
    Aguero - Martial - LUKAKU

    Thinking about Mitrovic & Monreal in, but not sure. Thoughts??

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Carroll over Mitrovic

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Just Lukaku out?

        1. Chuckie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          For the totally unscientific reason that I remember him getting a pile of points at the end of last season, having done not much in the first three-quarters.

  8. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Guys, what changes you'd suggest with 1 FT & 0.6m itb?

    Migs / Robles
    Bellerin / Gabriel / Sakho / Simpson? / Darmian?
    Coutinho / KDB / Sanchez / Lanzini / Payet
    Lukaku? / Aguero / Martial

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku out

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        who in?

    2. Psychos got ya number
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Would stick. Means you get 2FT to get a full 11 out next GW. Lukaku will feature at least once and the only replacements people are recommending are Sturridge (you already have 3 LIV players) or Carroll (already have Lanzini and Payet so possible WHU overkill). Team looks good to me.

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        thanks mate...think I'll need those 2 FTs next week to put up a decent team for the remainder of the season

        1. Psychos got ya number
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          If you can use those 2 frees to get Kane back in for Kaku you're set up for the last few rounds 🙂

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

    Play Moreno or Reid if I have Migs in goal?

  10. Yanited
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Either:

    A: play lukaku
    B: play iwobi over lukaku (already have ozil)
    C: transfer lukaku to mitro (already have martial)

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

  11. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What should I do with these trio - Lukaku + Sigurdsson + Alli (Have Kane)?
    A. Bring Martial + Coutinho + Nasri
    B. Bring Welbeck + Lazini (Have Payet) + KDB
    C. Bring Pelle + Yaya Toure + Milner
    D. Keep them

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

    Barkley giving me such a headache! Seems like waste of BB if not gonna get them all playing. I just know if I ship out for a hit then he will play and have a blinder.........

  13. Bad Butcher
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Play Lukaku or Mahrez guys?

    1. Federico
      • 13 Years

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      All i know is that half of my players will play like one game. Even the ones I though were not going to rested like Martial...

  16. footballoholic
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Safer option?

    A) Fosu Mensah
    B) Rojo

    Don't have $ for Smalling

  17. Ings on the up
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku --> Rashford?

    Already have Martial

    1. Demí
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nah i wouldn't double up

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

        Keep Luke

  18. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku and Lennon to Carroll and Nasri for a -8?

  19. Bring on the shots
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Silva, Barkley and Toby to Sanchez, Coutinho and Smalling?

    8th in the world but team is in bits

    1. Chuckie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You're only 28,102 places ahead of me so you can trust my judgement when I say yes to your suggestion.

  20. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Lanzini - Lukaku
    B) Townsend - Carroll
    C) Lanzini - Mitrovic

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    anyone re-considering bench boost? what's the point if they don't all start both but then again when else would we play it?

    37 is potentially worse

    1. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      37 is worse

    2. ppp
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly, which is why I'm sticking with BB. At least everybody should play at least once..

    3. Diva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Play the percentages Bemba. Too late to worry now.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Have come this far so may aswell use it now, anyway can't get a decent squad of 15 for GW37 now without taking multiple hits

    5. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too late to back out of the WC/BB combo now. Feel like it would be making the 40+ points I lost last week completely wasted.

    6. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yup see below

      I'm going to swap to TC because of Sanchez/ Martial's plum fixtures

      I'm using it DGW37 in the hope that Europe/ relegation and the title will still be undecided

    7. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No because the one's rotated may be in my first team and some on the bench may play both-with all players having a double still seems best time to BB.

  22. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What are the % chances of Lukaku and Sakho following playing at least 60 minutes in one of the DGW games

    Any ideas would be welcomed

  23. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    After much deliberation I've decided to go with my gut and NOT use Bench Boost. Instead I will be going with Triple (C) on one of Martial or Sanchez.

    I see Gabriel, Sakho, Lovren and Delaney as too much uncertainty to get the maximum from the BB chip, so I'll keep it for GW37/ 38.

    I've gone with Lukaku ----> Carroll as my FT and my bench will look as below

    (Robles/ Mahrez/ Simpson/ Delaney)

    Robles: Not the best defence in the league by any means, though I reckon 6/7 points could be about right over two games

    Mahrez: Leicester seem intent on playing it safe with low scoring games and he has not been scoring for a while because of this.

    Simpson: I believe West Ham will score.

    Delaney: mun/ ars

    By my predictions I'll be benching about 12-15 points which I would want more from BB. My gut is usually right recently so I'm going to stick with it...

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck to you! My gut told me to TC Lukaku last week. Wish I had known then he was playing with a mild injury.

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This week isn't ideal. But it's still the best BB week available. 37 will be this, but worse.

    2. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck!
      I was all set on TC Sanchez - now I've switched to BB , main reason being I don't like benching Mahrez. Might do a last minute switch back to TC thogh!

  24. Unimaginative
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is even considering
    Gabb and kaku to bell and Andy Carroll crazy??

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you don't think Lukaku will play or do anything then it's not crazy.

  25. Essaraba
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Worth shipping Lukaku for -4 with the injury? Carroll Mitrovic Rashford? Have Martial.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      don't think any of those options are worth it

    2. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Carroll out of those as you already have United cover.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pelle

  26. Zareos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    My ML rival has taken an 8 point hit and was 10 points behind me already. This has made me think a -4 this week isn't the end of the world. I have zero United cover, would you do:

    A. Lukaku to Martial
    B. Delaney and Lukaku to Smalling and Rashford (-4)
    C. Delaney to Fosu Mensah
    D. Save

    I'm currently thinking B with Rashford as a one-week punt. Thoughts? I already have 11 players for GW35 and I'm bench boosting this week.

  27. chanvoodoo
    • 11 Years

    Don't know why, all day in my head is Juan Mata and think he gonna nailed....

  28. Federico
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who to play?
    A) Alli (sto)
    B) Mahrez (WHU)

    Martial TC \o/

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years

      A

  29. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bolasie and Delaney out worth any hits ?

    A Bolasie to Milner
    B Bolasie to Lanzini
    C Delaney to Fonsu
    B A and C for -8

  30. ppp
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    1. Stick with lukaku
    2. Lukaku to origi/carroll
    3. Lukaku + delaney to origi/carroll + mensah -4

    Playing BB, so want to get this right, but no great replacements for lukaku! Got aguero and martial
