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.

    How does this look?
    Gw10 - Kane and bissouma to vardy and jota (-4)
    GW11 - vardy and soucek to kdb and brewster (if city fire)

    Mccarthy
    Chilwell James ayling
    Mane Bruno(c) grealish jota
    Vardy dcl Bamford
    (Button soucek ctaylor Mitchell)

    1. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would go Vardy if you plan keeping him for a longer period, not only this week's captaincy.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, you are right. Think I just want him for Fulham. Not even sure if I'd captain him.
        What do you reckon to just bissouma to jota and move soucek to first bench?

    2. Villan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Personally I wouldn't take so many hits and short term moves but that's my playstyle

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Appreciate the feedback. To be honest, it's not normally my style either. Think I've just got caught up in vardy vs Fulham.
        What would you do?
        1ft, 3.4itb

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'm looking at Kane to Vardy (c), keeping for the 4 good fixtures with the plan to switch to Kane before gw16 (Fulham).

          I haven't got Bruno though. I really want him but you can't have them all and I'm prioritising Captains. That's just my opinion

  2. Orlix
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy or McCarthy? Tend to McCarthy for expected saves vs Man U?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mendy - think Spurs will sit deep and Silva and Kante could keep Kane and Son quiet

  3. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    a) Werner to Vardy (C)
    b) Saiss to Dias
    c) Both for -4

    1. Miguel Sanchez

  4. Dosh

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford probably.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    In case you missed it Irbox is encouraging us to buy rotation risk Man City players over Vardy vs Fulham at home.

    Just watch Cancelo or KDB get rested/blank this weekend.

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB plays this week, but on the bench (and plays only if needed) v Fulham high probability, IMO.

  8. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I only have 2 playing defenders this week...

    But the def I want is Taylor (mci)... what do I do?

  9. DD DUBAI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Werner to Vardy

    OR

    Kane to Vardy ?

    Already have Son

    1. Bobby Digital

    Forster; Brewster, Ayling, Lamptey*

    1ft and 0.6itb

    A. Zaha -> Jota
    B. Zaha and Kane -> Salah and Watkins (Antonio if fit)
    C. Save ft and play Brewster

      C

    2. 1zverGGadeM

      B and cap Mo

  12. Miguel Sanchez

    No City or Pool but I can hopefully get away with this? No hits required and GTG

    Martinez
    Chilwell Coufal Justin
    Rashford Son Rodríguez Grealish
    Kane Vardy(c) Werner

    Button Justin Bissouma Ferguson 0.9 ITB 0FT

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nice

    2. Villan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good to me!

      Not seen a front 3 that strong! You keeping that mid turn or planning on downgrading to get Salah, KDB etc?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Will eventually downgrade one of Kane/Vardy to Bamford and then Rodriguez can go to Salah

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nice

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

      excelent

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ballsy going without any City or Pool; that front line is huge! G2G

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It wasn’t quite by design but here we are

      2. Party time
          3 years, 4 months ago

          How do you watch PL here? Everything is in Spor Toto süper lig

      3. Abra Dubravka
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Besides Rashford, I think it’s great. Can reassess that next week though

      4. Party time
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nice team. Double Spurs can easily cover no city. GL buddy

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

            How can that possibly cover? Very strange comment..

            1. Party time
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Kdb(C) but I won’t rule out a goal for Son & Kane assist or even a pen to Spurs

          2. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Double Spurs attack away at Chelsea, no City/Pool, looks like a tough week to me but hopefully Vardy (C) will be the salvation.

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

            Where’s DCL? Would captain Kane, Rashford, Grealish or Rodriguez over Vardy. Tell me the appeal there?

            1. Villan
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              You wouldn't captain Vardy vs Fulham? And put all of those ahead of him? Are you trolling?

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

                Should I be? Look at his stats and how he scores goals... this game is certainly not conducive to him hauling

            2. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Fulham is the appeal for Vardy plus the next three fixtures

        • Djemba-Djemba
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What's happening with Salah? Is he fully fit and likely to start? If yes, worth brining back into the team?

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

            He’s ready to go and will start

          2. Abra Dubravka
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yes yes yes

        • Calculated Risks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Martinez
          Robbo, Justin, coufal, (lamptey, mitchell)
          Son, ziyech, bruno, reed, (barkley)
          Kane, richarlison, jimi

          Worth doing jimi to bamford, and barkley to jota minus 4? With barkley injured and lamptey suspended and mitchell not playing, I'd be relying on reed with 2 points no doubt. Have got enough in bank to just do barkley to jota but it painful watching wolves attack atm and do fancy bamford

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I'd go Kane to Vardy and Barkley to Jota?

              Its an idea I've toyed with, just want to lose jimi more than kane

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

                Yes. Losing bad assets is a priority above sideways moves.

        • Villan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A) Zaha to Jota (-4)

          B) Play Brewster (have Zaha for next week against WBA)

          1. 1zverGGadeM

            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Brewster 7 points in his five games with Sheffield U and only two starts. Restructure squad? Get Davis from Villa who also won't play but is cheaper? Haven't you got a defender who can sub and get two points? Trouble with Jota is he may not start next week with rotation.

            1. Villan
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              They've had tough fixtures tbf. I think he's as good if not better than Bissouma as 8th attacker. Also is nailed and need playing bench with Xmas and covid.

              Yeah I know about Jota's risks. Think they might be worth it.

              Appreciate your input, food for thought

              1. Tambling5
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Brewster is nailed to be sub atm.. I dont think Sheffield u can afford to play a teenage striker who doesn't fit into their system instead of seasoned pros when in relegation battle. Him moving there was poor for his development imo, tho I hope I'm proved wrong.
                Good luck.

        • Mweene
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Have seen some people suggesting City will hammer Burnley and clamoring to get KDB.

          A quick reminder that City have scored the same number of goals as Newcastle this season (10) and KDB has 1 goal (a penalty I think?)

          1. Villan
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I don't think it's worth a hit if not captaining but long term KDB should (has a good chance to be) great with the long term fixtures

            1. Mweene
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Still much prefer Son, Salah, Bruno.

              Form over fixtures seems to be the way to go this season.

              Pretty confident I’ll keep getting green arrows by keeping Son and Kane and avoiding hits.

        • 1zverGGadeM

          Am I the only mad to think Sterling Captain this GW?

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            There are stringer options. However, you might get lucky and pick Sterling for the match he finally clicks.

            1. Rasping Drive
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I'm going too, I prefer him over KDB since I like goals over assists.

          Agonisniover who to bring jn?

          A allows me to get sterling for Fulham too gw11 and then salah

          B involves kdb coming in next week

          Thanks

          Would you take a hit here? On Bruno (c) atm which isn't ideal.
          Kane-> Vardy, Jimenez-> Bamford, Son-> KDB/ Sterling possible options.

          McCarthy.
          Cancelo, Chilwell, Justin.
          Bruno (c), Grealish, Jota(vc), Son.
          DCL, Kane, Jimenez.
          Button, Ayling, Mitchell, Bissouma.

            Nothing wrong with Bruno (c); he’s in great form

          2. Ozzy smith
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Wouldn’t take a hit for any of those moves personally. I have the same front 7 except Werner for Jimenez and I’m more than happy captaining Bruno this week.

          3. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Why Bruno(c) isn’t ideal?

            1. Sz21
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Vardy looking the standout option or maybe KDB.

              Fingers crossed for Bruno of course but just not as confident he will haul.

        • Vovhund
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Need some clever advise here. My current team with 2 free transfers:

          McCarthy
          Chilwell-Coady-Justin-Taylor-Mitchell
          Bruno-Son-Grealish-Maximin-Bissouma
          Kane-Werner-DCL.

          What's the best trio going forward?:

          A) Kdb-Salah-Antonio (or Bamford/Watkins) for -4
          B) Kbd-Jota-Vardy for -4
          C) Kdb-Jota-Kane (for free)
          D) Bruno-Jota-Kane (for free)
          E) Bruno-Kdb-Antonio (or Bamford/Watkins) for free
          F) Bruno-Salah-Antonio (or Bamford/Watkins) for free

            Enough for Salah-Sterling-Wilson?

          Do we reckon Mitchell has lost his place for good?

            3 years, 4 months ago

            yes

            I think he could start tonight but I’ve only got two playing defenders if he doesn’t so I’m going to take a hit to get Cancelo.

          Coufal Robertson Chill
          Son Bruno Grealish Bowen Zaha*
          Kane Jimenez*

          KWP Brewster Mitchell

          Zaha, Jimenez -> KDB (C), Adams -4 ?

          Thanks

            Why do you have * for Jimenez?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              * for players that has to go, not injured or anything

                • 12 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Maybe Zaha out for Jota?

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

            How about Zaha,Jimenez,Kane to KDB,Bamford,Vardy?

            -8 seems really unnecessary though, maybe just Zaha to Jota?

            1. Dog and Fox
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Not sold om Jota, and not doing - points for Kane

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

                Well yeah it's not ideal but neither is getting Adams for a hit with his fixture

                1. Dog and Fox
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Adams has god fix in my opinion

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

          Bruno to Salah with FT or save?
          Will be doing it in GW12 anyway so it comes down to who scores more over the next 2, Salah or Bruno?

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            No way you should sell Bruno

            Captain material every GW

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

              True but same can be said for Salah though?

              1. La Roja
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah but perhaps find another route to bring salah in?

                  Vardy is my captain so that's too hard atm
                  KDB also has crazy fixtures...

                  I can always do KDB to Bruno in 2-3 weeks though if things go wrong

                    I’m not sold on City this season so far. They look way off the pace and scored only 10 goals. I’d rather to wait and see a strong evidence that they are back to being a free scoring team.

                    No Aguero and Dilva hurting their attacking play

                        And lack of Fernandinho stabilising midfield?

            Right A or B??

            A) Werner -> Vardy and captain him
            B) Save FT and captain Bruno or DCL?

            3 years, 4 months ago

            What do you think?

            A) Zaha + Jimenez > KDB + Bamford (-8)
            B) Zaha + Jimenez > Vardy + Jota (-8)
            C) Zaha > Jota (-4) keep Jimenez
            D) Jimenez > Vardy (-4) keep Zaha play bench

            Used my free transfer taking out Saiss

            Thanks
