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.

    Which is the better transfer for the next few weeks:

    a) Son => KDB
    b) Kane => Vardy

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

      Do both!

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      Neither

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm starting to think the upside is too great not to do these moves. Probably doing both for -8.

    5. thewhitepele
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Am I missing something? Leicester have are far from convincing regarding potential attacking returns, esp. compared to spurs?

      1. G Banger
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Got the fear of a plum fixture for Vardy to explode

      2. juanmata8
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bottomed.. 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

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Ayling to Cancelo for free or bank the million to get Salah back before 12?

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

          The latter

        2. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I see 4 cs for City in the next 6. Makes sense to get Diaz

      5. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Probably can’t get rid of Son having Hamez in my team.

        I mean, Hamez out should be the priority?

        Hamez to Sterling for free?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sure

        2. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Definitely

      6. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Zouma > Dias, captain Sterling and GTG? Any moves you'd prefer to make here?

        1 FT, 0.9m ITB, WC Available

        McCarthy (Button)
        Zouma Chillwell Justin (Taylor Mitchell)
        Bruno Sterling Son Grealish (Bissouma)
        Werner DCL Watkins

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Keep Zouma

          1. Il Capitano
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Double CHE defence worth keeping with TOT, LEE eve next up?

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

              I’m saying not for CS but chilwill is so attacking and zouma has good chance data - especially against Spurs whom have conceded lots of free kicks and set piece headers

            2. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Maybe not.

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

              They currently have the best defence in the league and those 2 have good chance of attacking returns as well.

              1. Il Capitano
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                FT better spent going Werner > Vardy (C) then?

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

                  Yeah that would be better transfer, you could also hold but then I like Vardy's next 4 as compared to Werner's

      7. 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 Years

        1. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah. Make the move and it'll get deducted at the end of the GW.

          1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
            • 9 Years

            Sounds like the rest of the Black Friday deals...

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

        What is the state of Aguero?
        Anything to consider at all, perhaps after a couple of games?

          Nah don't. Already have enough city coverage and Liverpool out against Brighton is a solid fixture as well. Gtg imo

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Thanks dude. Gl

      11. disarrays11
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane & Zaha (Covid) => KDB & Vardy for -4???
        (already have Son)

        Yay or Nay? Sheers!

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I think I will end up doing the same but selling Kane doesn't feel right

        2. hewittj1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It could pay off immediately, I would be tempted. Or Zaha -> Jota

      12. abaalan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Play 1:
        A) Jimenez (Ars A)

        1. Big Hands Barry
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Has to be the striker on penalties playing for the better team

        2. disarrays11
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A. Arsenal struggles against Wolves on a good day and their confidence is at a low after Leeds.

          Prefer Salah

      14. Mweene

        Keep taking hits to sell Son and Kane everyone and I’ll enjoy the green arrows!

            I can do Bruno to Salah next week.

        Really stuck on vardy v KDB for captain.

        The stars seem to be aligning for big city win. History, fitness and a need for a statement result. That said Burnley have found their defensive mojo last 2 weeks

        Vardy stats arnt great but he just scores. Another one last night. Fulham are also a really poor side and I’d be disappointed if Leicester don’t score at least 3

        Going back to lateriser’s article. I don’t think either is a bad choice, but having taken hits to get them. I’m very worried by bad outcomes.

        Leaning Vardy as I like a Monday night captain...

        1. Rohirrims
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Same dilemma and I also have Bruno. It seems to be a waste to have gotten Vardy in and not captain him against Fulham.

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

          I don't like KDB, he only assists or scores penalties

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Lol

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

            lol

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

              Why lol? 1 goal this season and it's penalty. Assists are useless rarely gives bonuses.

              1. Zimo
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Um havw u played previous years with kdb? He always gets in bonus

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

                  That's cos of higher goal contributions which resulted in many multiple goal contributions a game and he actually could score from open plays as well. I guess he was just too good last season and isn't living up to his price tag this season.

        So as IRBOX mentioned earlier, Vardy doesn’t even look like scoring from open play, as reflected by his xG. He won’t have space in behind the Fulham defence as the Foxes will dominate possession.

        Why all this rush to get him in for a hit, with some on here even going as far as to dispose the highest scorer in fantasy so far?

        Surely don’t see this risk paying off. :/

          If Leicester score early Fulham will have to try score

          3 penalties is still a huge haul

          Surely look at last week game vs Eve. And Vardy scored yesterday from open play for your info 😉

                    Beware, I am already one nut down after ahem doing my bollix by betting Mitrovic wouldn’t get more than one goal in the first 5 gameweeks.

                    On the plus side, I’ve just been recruited by the local choir as the lead castrati.

                    Not convinced by either Vardy or KDB so far this season.

                    Not enough to sell the best players so far this season Son and Kane and especially not for a hit.

                    Vardy ruined his FPL season last year. I don't think you'll ever hear anything good about him from Irbox.

                        My midfield is Bruno, Son, Ziyech, Grealish and Bissouma. What are you thinking?

                    Dont get the Vardy love. Only upside is that he gives you a nice captain option for the week. And fixtures turn bad after the next 3.

                      Everton is a good fixture

                        • 8 Years
                        3 years, 4 months ago

                        You can say. But expect the cheaper forwards like Bam/Antonio/Wilson to outscore him during that run.

                          Probably just Wilson, don't fancy the rest

                      Next 3 is enough to have him

                      Excellent luxury transfer for captain this week. Too many fires for me to consider when there are other C options though.

                      Just transfer him out after the next 3

                      He’s fixture proof to be fair but has a chance of a few hauls in the coming weeks.

                    Morning and good luck this game week folks.

                    G2G here? Captain Salah or KDB?

                      Looking nice. Cap Salah

                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    Kane can easily match Vardy's points after this gw. It's just this gw that can do the damage. Still by the time I'm (C) Salah I am not afraid to lose those Vardy pts tbh

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

                      I think all those fixtures probably favour Son over Kane, unless it's penalties. I sold both this GW though.

                  6. The VAR Team
                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    Which one would you want?

                    A) Fernandes (C) + Son
                    B) Fernandes + Salah (C) -4
                    C) Fernandes (C) + KDB -4

                    Play Mitchell and bench Dallas the right call?

                      • 8 Years
                      3 years, 4 months ago

                      Nope.......I can see Dallas getting attacking returns this GW.

                      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 4 months ago

                        Depends on where he plays. Mitchell, if he plays, has a better chance of a clean sheet I think.

                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    Do I sell to get Vardy or get rid of some dead weight for cheaper assets?

                    A) James to Kilman, Jimenez to Vardy
                    B) Burke to Jota, Jimemez to Bamford

                    Kane to Vardy

                    For -4. Worth it?
