It’s Saturday morning – time to rise, shine and study the latest Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheet odds that have kept Paddy awake all night compiling.

But don’t feel sorry for him. It’s his job, after all.

And so is tempting new customers with enhanced offers, so that’s where we’ll start.

Two of the Gameweek’s three most transfered-in players happen to be from Liverpool. If all those managers are expecting Adam Lallana and Divock Origi-based joy, Paddy’s offer of 7-1 on the Reds emerging victorious from Monday’s Merseyside derby at Goodison could well lighten the mood even further.

Can Chelsea make it 11 league wins on the spin? Facing a Palace side that’s won just once in seven should help. Paddy’s 5-1 on yet another Blues victory looks decidedly generous.

You can also get 6-1 on Man U beating West Brom, while the even more likely event that is Spurs beating Burnley is on offer at 4-1.

And finally, the match of the Gameweek – Man City at home to Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola is struggling with the rigours of Premier League life at the moment, but even he would be tempted by the 6-1 he could get on his boys sticking it to the Gunners if he was really, really, really not allowed to bet on such things, that is.

Arsenal, meanwhile, were in a very good place before their midweek loss at Everton, with three straight wins and 11 goals scored. City’s defence is the wrong side of desperate, so if you think the Wenger boys can re-find their mojo, the 12-1 on offer looks almost irresistible.

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

Harry Kane, Diego Costa and Christian Eriksen were our top three in this week’s captaincy poll and whaddyaknow? Two of them have been handed the shortest odds in the Anytime Goalscorer market.

Kane (1.36) has drawn a blank for two consecutive Gameweeks, but the idea that he’ll fall short again seems highly unlikely when Burnley’s truly awful away record is added to the mix.

The Clarets have managed one – count it, one – point from seven road trips this season. That came when they gave Jose Mourinho a taste of his own medicine (flavour notes: bus hints, with motes of bus) in a 90-minute homage to the parking of public transport during Gameweek 10.

Spurs have won their last three home matches, banging in 11 goals while they’ve been about it, thanks in part to the resurgent form of Eriksen (2.20).

Further down the list comes Andy Carroll, who is priced at 2.40 to help dismantle hapless Hull City. Fantasy managers haven’t exactly busted a gut to get the big fella in, whereas Michail Antonio is the 10th most popular acquisition of the Gameweek. He’s at 2.80 to score – and he’s done that twice in the last five matches.

Priced only slightly lower than that is Alexis Sanchez (2.60). The Arsenal man has fallen out of favour for the armband this week, but nine of his 12 league goals this season have come away from home and Man City’s defence is so obliging that it would be almost surprising if he doesn’t add to that tally at the Etihad.

More than 240,000 FPL bosses have bought into the delights of Adam Lallana (3.30), making him the Gameweek’s top transfer target. The Liverpool midfielder is certainly in sparkling form, with three goals in his two starts since returning from injury.

The Merseyside derby often defies form, but Everton have kept just two clean sheets at Goodison all season, and none at all home or away for the past six matches.

Lallana looks as well-placed as anyone to cash in.


CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 17

TeamOdds

Manchester United2.10
West Ham2.29
Chelsea2.40
Middlesbrough2.60
Liverpool2.75
Southampton2.87
Sunderland3.00
Stoke3.10
Bournemouth3.20

Clean sheets have been scarce, and Fantasy managers have certainly been splashing the cash anywhere but at the back this week – among defenders, only Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake and Chelsea stalwart Cesar Azpilicueta make it into the top ten transfers-in.

The Cherries have kept five clean sheets this season, four of which have come at home. Even factoring in the unpredictability of a derby match at home to Southampton, the 3.20 you can get on a Bournemouth shut-out looks good.

The Saints have drawn a blank in their last two away days and are without leading scorer Charlie Austin, which makes the case for the Bournemouth defence even stronger. But Southampton are hardly mugs either – they’ve kept four cleanies in their last five outings – so the 2.87 on them for a south coast shutdown is as generous as you’re likely to get.

Stoke City host Leicester City and there’s 3.10 available on the home team frustrating the Foxes. Leicester currently travel about as well as a pint of Guinness on a Spacehopper – they’ve scored just twice in their last three away matches, losing them all to the combined might of Watford, Sunderland and Bournemouth.

Mark Hughes’ men, meanwhile, have kept consecutive home clean sheets and three in their last four matches overall.

      You must hate Costa

    Repost, bottomed: Thoughts on Origi (c)? MNF, great form, lone striker, BAP monster, differential, passed fit for Monday... No one's mentioned him!

    1. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Why not

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Scored in 4 straight games! I think he's a great option, especially if you only have 1 MNF player

      2. mcrayeps
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        He is good if u didnt have another better player.. everton have a better defend than burnley or palace

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Go for it. The most popular captains haven't been delivering recently

    4. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not a bad shout, Merseyside derby could easily have a lot of goals go for it

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      MNF shouldn't be part of the reason if your playing seriously

      Not the worse move though

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        It's so annoying when you have a green arrow on Sunday then a red on Monday. Granted Pool players don't have that high ownership with Couts and Firms out of favour but still..

  5. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Valencia or Jones?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Valencia.

      1. King66544
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Valencia

  6. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Bench?

    A) Jones (wba)

    B) Cedric (bou)

    Odds heavily favour United clean sheet.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I d go with Cedric SOU will go for a goalless draw doubt they ll succeed but I can see MUN conceding

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        WBA usually don't attack the bigger teams.

        1. skodaole2
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          WBA at home have scored many goals this year and United have conceded away from home. If you think they wont concede then you have your answer 😉

  7. Howconvenient
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Did Firmino to Erikson so no Liverpool cover now...
    Defoe to Origi for -4?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No way, Defoe has Watford at home

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      no

    3. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Nope. Defoe v Watford.

    4. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Nah

    5. Howconvenient
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Thanks

  8. bojack

    9 years, 7 days ago

    On the first midweek GW of the season my true brought to me:
    No points from Costa
    No points from Payet
    Nooooo points from Kane!!

    Fingers crossed one of my players scores today 😀

      What's your team?

      1. Make United Great Again

        Pickford
        Alonso Cedric Holebas

        2. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Looks good for this week. I'd look to upgrade Anichebe next

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 days ago

            Will most likely upgrade De Roon to Zaha and bench Anichebe. 3 5 2

    2. LeicesterA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Your team is pretty much the same as mine. I've just got Grant over Pickford and Smith over Cedric. Good luck...

  11. @FPLMason

    9 years, 7 days ago

    Do you presume Mauricio will roll out the same formation he did vs Hull?
    3-3-1-3 / 3-4-2-1
    https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1080746/Live/England-Premier-League-2016-2017-Tottenham-Hull

    Over here, it seems that the inclusion of Rose and Walker as wingbacks, along with Sissokho and Alli as wingers, with Wanyama as a holding midfielder, has granted Eriksen much freedom going forward.

    The stats speak for themselves as well.

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I don't think the same will happen if Dembele starts.

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Anyone keeping Nacho? Origi and Carroll also risky choice so might just save. Or get on Origi wagon?

    1. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Origi MNF could be fun. My only reasoning.

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I think I'm going to (c) Origi, see my reasons above.

      I'd definitely do Nacho -> Origi fwiw

  13. toxik
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Best 4.8 def to get in ahead of McAuley (awful fixture run) and 5.2 midfield Gundojan who is crocked please?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      jones maybe

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I would play fer ahead of Mcauley

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        This

  15. King66544

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years

      I d bench Walcott out of those

    3. Rajveer

      Benteke

    4. LanzaLions
      • 11 Years

  16. Psojkee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Play Clyne or Amat?
    Or do McAuley -> Rose for a hit?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Play Clyne

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Spurs have difficult fixtures after tomorrow, i d just play Clyne and hope for an assist

  17. Emp
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    does anyone think if nacho doesnt start this weekend he will start against hull for sure?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      no, not sure how that logic works to be honest

    2. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not playing against watford tells us that no one knew what pep think

  18. Rajveer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Pickford
    Alonso Vertonghen Holebas
    Alexis(c) Haz Mane Siggy Allen
    Kane(vc) Carroll

    Subs
    Boruc Anichebe Mcauley Amat

    Gtg??
    Subs in the right order??

    1. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I would play Boruc ahead of Pick other than that gtg

      1. Rajveer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        50-50 between these two..just having a feeling Sunderland at home will shut out Watford... But thanks for the feedback...will give it a second thought

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Play Anichebe instead of Allen. Allen first choice sub.

      1. Rajveer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Allen @ home against lei seems tempting... And I fear Anichebe might come later from the bench..

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          I hope you ignored and went with your gut which so far seems correct!

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years

    HI!
    I'm 100points ahead in my mini league so its all about OR right now. I can get Walcott + Defoe to Caroll + Payet. I would love to keep Defoe but this is only way I can afford Dimitri. I believe this duo at home should do some damage. Any thoughts?

    1. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I wouldn't

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years

    6.7 to use for a midfielder after selling Gundogan. Who to get in? Already have Sanchez Mane Siggy DeRoon

    1. *sigh*

      Chadli

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years

          I'd think so

        2. Jethrik
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Being eased back from injury. Will definitely start any get 70+ mins. Very good technical player and on pens. More likely to score in my opinion as moo will have brunt and Philips marked out - no leisurely crosses in like last week.

    2. Psojkee
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Antonio cost exactly 6.7
      Zaha, Phillips

    3. LanzaLions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Antonio

    4. LanzaLions
      • 11 Years

      Phillips Antonio Zaha

    5. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    For GW 18, regardless of GW 17 results and assuming no injuries:

    Kane, Fletcher, McAuley > Benteke, Zaha, Azpilicueta

    This would also free up an additional £0.6. Yes or No?

      Sig and Benteke stats suggest great returns over next 6 gameweeks. I would hold both.
