The Fantasy Flutter: Betting odds on the weekend’s Premier League action 2

The Gameweek 10 fixtures are spread over four days, with Crystal Palace v Newcastle United getting us underway on Friday evening.

There are no surprises who the bookies are viewing as the bankers this weekend, with Manchester City priced up at 1/6 for their home match against Burnley.

The full-time result odds for the Gameweek 10 matches are:

CAN’T DEFEND FOR TOFFEE

Everton may have impressed in an attacking sense this season but they are without a clean sheet since the opening weekend of the campaign.

Their total of 16 goals conceded in the last eight Gameweeks is the worst in the division, with the recent loss of Lucas Digne to injury a further blow to their backline.

Not that this Saturday’s opponents, Leeds United, have been faring much better.

It’s feast or famine with Marcelo Bielsa’s side: they have kept three clean sheets this season, including a shut-out against Arsenal in Gameweek 9, but only whipping boys Fulham and West Brom (18 each) have conceded on more occasions than the Peacocks (17) in 2020/21.

The Saturday evening clash at Goodison Park not only features the two teams who have made the most defensive ‘errors’ this season but also the two goalkeepers who are, in Opta’s eyes, performing worse than any other shot-stoppers in terms of expected goals prevented (xGP).

Both teams to score at 8/15 therefore seems like a realistic bet but for more bang for your buck, over 3.5 goals at 6/4 is another route into the anticipated goalfest.

With the Toffees conceding two or more goals in seven of their last eight games, what price a two-all draw at Goodison Park? Well, 12/1 as it happens.

Top of every FPL asset for attempts on goal, efforts on target, shots in the box and big chances over the last six Gameweeks, Patrick Bamford is 6/1 to open the scoring on Merseyside.

DEFENDER SPENDER

Has normality been restored after the goal-crazed opening month of the campaign?

A total of 18 clean sheets were kept in the first 44 games of the season; that figure rises to 30 shut-outs in the second batch of 44 matches.

On a similar subject, the total number of goals scored fell from 164 to 101 in the first and second halves of the current campaign.

There are certainly a number of clean sheet possibilities this weekend.

An Arsenal side who have scored just one goal in five league games host Wolves, who have kept a joint-best four clean sheets in 2020/21.

Then there is the meeting at the Hawthorns between two teams who have scored on just 10 occasions in a combined 18 Premier League matches this season, plus the clash between Crystal Palace and Newcastle: a fixture that has seen just seven goals scored across the last seven times it has been contested.

Sticking a treble on under 2.5 goals in each of these three fixtures returns not far off 7/2.

And, of course, if you were backing a correct score bet or scorecast in any of the above fixtures, the bet365 Bore Draw Money Back special at least offers the consolation of your stake being refunded should the games be goalless stinkers.

Bore Draw Money Back

Refund for any Soccer game that finishes 0-0 at bet365.

Applies to losing pre-match bets on any Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time or Scorecast markets. Bet restrictions and T&Cs apply. New and eligible customers only.

WOR CAL

As mentioned earlier in this piece, the Gameweek 10 action kicks off this evening in south London.

Newcastle have Callum Wilson back from a hamstring injury just in time for this meeting at a damp, cold Selhurst Park – what could possibly go wrong?

Luckily, if you have backed the former Bournemouth striker to open the scoring at 5/1 and his hamstring goes twang before half-time, bet365 will refund your stake as bet credits.

Soccer Substitute Guarantee

If your player is substituted before half-time we will return your stake as Bet Credits on selected markets.

Only available to new and eligible customers. Bet restrictions and T&Cs apply.

There are other options available within the first goalscorer market with bet365.

A scruffy goal off someone’s backside may swiftly end your bet in normal circumstances but with each-way first goalscorers, you can get a 1/3 odds if your player goes onto score at any time during the game.

Take in-form Diogo Jota, for example, who is matching and even outperforming Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah for many key attacking metrics over the last four Gameweeks.

A bet on Jota to score first at Brighton on Saturday is 9/2 (longer odds than Salah or Mane to do likewise, as it happens) and by covering him each-way with an additional stake, you’re also getting 6/4 on him to score at any time.

Each Way First Goalscorers

Place an Each Way First Goalscorer bet on any Soccer match.

If your player scores at any time during the game in 90 minutes play, we will pay you out at 1/3 odds for unlimited places.

    Fulham NPxG Conceded

    Last 4 home NPxG 6.5 (19th).

    Last 4 away NPxG 4.01 (6th).

    Home opponents - EVE, WBA, CRY, AVL. Away - whu, shu, wol, lee.

    Hmm, bit scary but doesn't look like it means much.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Noticed the same thing, to be fair wolves and shu are the worst attacking teams in the league

  9. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should I remove Zaha or hold?

    A Mahrez
    B Tielemans
    C other

    2. @FPLMason
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      None of those options are enticing imo. Hold.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ta

  10. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think Salah gets 90 mins vs Brighton?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nearer to 75-ish imo

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on his fitness levels, should get 70+

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      I think so yeah

      Yes, if City turn up you will be flying if they don’t you could be chasing

    4.7ITB

    Trying to find someone willing to talk me out of Bamford -> Vardy (-4). Thoughts? :/

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mental. Vardy doesn’t even look like scoring from open play, as reflected by his xG (open play). He certainly won’t have space in behind the Fulham defence as the Foxes will dominate possession. I actually cannot understand the appeal of Vardy this week at all... let alone for a hit. Bamford will bring points at Goodison

    2. King Drogba11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think Bamford is an awesome asset and arguably the best value player in the game. Definitely wouldn’t sell for a hit.

  14. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hi all, correct line up and bench?

    Martinez
    Chilwell cresswell cancelo
    Kdb Bruno (C) jota grealish ziyech
    Werner richarlison

    Forster Watkins coufal Mitchell

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Benching Watkins could end in tears but yes this is the correct order with your team

  15. fpork
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Got two dilemmas:
    1) Son->Salah
    2) Save FT

    Play one
    A) Soucek
    B) Brewster

  16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    It's absolute madness that I'm suggesting to people to get in Bruno or captain him depending on their teams and here I am possibly selling him...

    It's just that I'm betting on Salah to do better than him over the next 2 and I would want Salah back for Fulham anyway. Might backfire but it just feels wrong to go without Salah

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you only have one midfield slot?

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        KDB Ziyech Bruno Grealish Riedwald atm and 2.1 itb

        Only way to get Salah is lose Bruno or KDB and it has to be Bruno.

        Can always do KDB to Bruno if KDB flops but it won't be easy to do the other way round

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah in for wk 12 was always my plan.
      Had considered the Son & Kane out move, went against that & so far working, this weekend will be a watershed.

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Selling Bruno in this form is wrong. City aren’t even scoring many goals per match.

      People gambling on them suddenly hitting 3/4/5 like we’re used is wishful thinking imo

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        True..

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno is better long term than salah

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ideally should have both...
        The Fulham game in GW12 though is what's scary

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sell kdb or whatever other big midfielder you have imo

  17. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Castagne -4pts vs Chilwell for just this week. My gut says the first is stronger

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilly,.
      basically, no CS points for Castagne even if he gets one with the -4

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The rush for Castagne & Riciardo when they are returning from injury?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Compared to waiting for the double digit scores and then getting them?

  18. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best way to find Werner >> Vardy

    A) Grealish >> Jota

    B) Podence >> Soucek

    C) James >> Dann

    D) Keep Werner do Kane >> Vardy for free

        Better than most my friend. Enjoy the green arrow!

  20. Drexl Spivey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Merits of placing the armband on Sterling this week?

    Too many issues in defence to bring in De Bruyne, don't have the funds for Vardy and Salah seems a little too obvious.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Go for it. Sterling is going to score big in one of his next 5. At 4% he is the ultimate differential

    2. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling would be mine except I have Vardy home to Fulham and you can’t not captain

      Will deffo captain Sterling next week

    3. King Drogba11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Yep got it on Sterling. Feeling good about it too.

  21. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Will Mitchell get a start ever?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t hold dead assets

  22. Khalico
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    start Bamford or Watkins?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford

      Why put yourself in this situation though?

      1. Khalico
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        My front lines are:
        Grealish, Salah, Ziyech, KDB (C), Bruno
        DCL and rotatation between Bamford/Watkins.
        Hence the question, it is benching headache but need bench cos of injuries, fitness etc.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford, Everton cannot defend

  23. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea hardly have a scary defense, Kane and Son to punish the sellers again, or am I just the “hopeful one” in keeping?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea have the best defence in the league (xGc) since throwing Mendy in goals. Combine this with clean sheets in Europe. They will do Spurs comfortably

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bet you don't show your face when it doesn't happen

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’ll be here don’t worry sunshine. I live and die by the sword

    2. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hope not as a triple Chelsea defender owner

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      With Kepa in goal they would be captainable assets.

      Mendy is amazing

    4. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I can't see spurs scoring more than one goal, which would be good enough for either to haul though

  24. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Captain pick this week?
    a) Salah
    b) Bruno
    c) DCL
    d) Kane

    1. Merlinho
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m on Salah - rare differential chance I think

      I followed the poll for weeks with little success.

      Last week I put the arm band on DCL & did not change on deadline day, for the first time in ages.

      Paid off big time, so going with my own decisions.

    Start Dallas or Reguilon lads? I have Ziyech and with Dallas threat going forward I’m slightly favouring Dallas right now - am I mad?

      I think Leeds game will be a goalfest and Chelsea one will be cagey so I would say Reguillon, long term I think a hit from Reguilon to Dias/Cancelo pays off though even though I never suggest hits for defenders usually

        Funnily enough I did consider exactly that move earlier in the week - even posted here about it, overwhelmingly folks said no to a hit, and talked me out of it 🙂

      Reguilon I think

    Which team would you rather have a defender from

    A) palace
    B) Leeds
    C) Everton
    D) southampton

    1. Chandler Bing

      Southampton out of those. Dallas from Leeds a close 2nd. Would avoid Everton at all costs.

    Will there be another Leicester presser before the deadline? Trying to find out whether Castagne will start or not before I do bring him in.

      Ask Sean he knows

      I don’t believe so, anything you got was last night after the europa fame

    What to do, what to do? Defence is a bit of a mess as is Mitrovic but not sure that's where my best moves lie, thoughts very much appreciated.

    2FT and 4.6 ITB

    Ryan
    Chillwell Semedo Mitchell
    Salah Bruno Son McGinn
    Jimenez Wilson Mitrovic

    (Nyland** Bissouma Lascelles* Douglas**)

    A) Jimenez and McGinn to Bamford/Watkins/Antonio and KDB
    B) Mitro and Jimi to Vardy and DCL
    C) Mitro to Bamford/Watkins/Antonio and upgrade a defender
    D) Something else

    I am very much looking forward to this game week!

    What’s the appeal of Vardy? I can’t see a single reason to own him this week, let alone give him the armband. Only just sneaks into Top 10 for attacking threat amongst forwards, his open play xG is abysmal and he certainly won’t get space in behind a Fulham defence pinned down with minimal possession.. strange

      Eh?

      Home to Fulham
      Leicester talisman

      I’m not bringing him in but I can definitely see the appeal to him.

      Fulham are awful and he scores lots of goals.
