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.

  3. Bobby_Baggio

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Draft League question please. Would you remove these two and swap for any of the below:

    Out: Azpi
    In: Rudiger/Aurier/Telles/Vestergaard/PVA

    Out: Trossard

    GTG?

    Martinez
    Bellerin Chilwell Kilman
    Hamez KDB (c) Salah Grealish

    1 FT, zero banked

  5. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have 1FT what to do?

    A. Foden > Jota
    B. Werner > Vardy
    C. TAA > Cancelo/Robertson (if not will play Taylor v City)
    D. Any two for -4
    E. Foden & TAA > KDB & Williams/ Nkounkou (4.1) -4

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C. Cancelo

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

      I'd move the injured asset - TAA.

  6. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How did Ronaldo won the poll about the greatest of all time on Skysports twitter?
    Messi was in front by 10% yesterday...
    Anyways I don't know why European people think CR7 is the greatest of all time. I'm sure that around the global Messi edges it.
    Probably neither of them is tbh

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

      Of all time is never true in any sport. An era yes. Of all time involves a lot of variables.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dunno, present day bias a factor. I like to stick to era's. Maradona and Best didn't have great longevity, present great players are better looked after and can play til they're 40. Who's to say young Haaland isn't better than the lot!

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I ignore these sort of polls

    4. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      How? I guess by scroing 748 goals + 226 assists in 1026 apps for his clubs and country did it.

  7. Egyptian Giza
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Play Zouma or ASM? Already playing son, kane

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA

    -4 team, looking G2G?

    McCarthy
    Chilwell, Cresswell, Justin
    KDB(c), Bruno, Jota, Ziyech, Grealish
    Kane, DCL
    (4.0, Saiss, Mitchell, Davis)

    1. nolard

      Looks boss.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

    3. mrelpea
      • 7 Years

      G2G. I have same midfield (plus McCarthy, Chillwell and DCL) and am also captaining KDB

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nice! Good luck

        1. mrelpea

        Thanks mate! You too fella, best of luck!!

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

    Hamez Reguilon to Sterling Cancelo -4? Would (c) Sterling next week.

    Martinez
    Robo/Reguilon/Chilwell
    Bruno/Son/Hamez/Grealish
    Vardy(c)/DCL/Bamford

    Martin/Kilman/Mitchell/Stephens

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

      0.1 short for KDB

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Find someone cheaper than Cancelo and bring in KDB instead of Sterling.

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

        You can even keep Reguilon for the next GW's
        Mitchell -> Cheapie
        Hamez -> KDB

        Or
        Reguilon -> 5.4 or cheaper
        Hamez -> KDB

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

          Have to go thought the def options again

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

      I'd keep Hamez one more week.

  10. Steager
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford To:

    A)KDB
    B)Salah
    C)Keep Rashy, roll transfer?

    Thanks

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

      If for free and no other pressing issues, I'd probably go A and (C) him. But I think Salah is better long term, just not this week.

  11. C_G
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    who to (C), currently on Vards

    - Vardy
    - DCL
    - Bruno
    - KDB
    - Grealish

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

      Vardy or KDB for me.
      The 'Pope out' swaying me towards KDB though.

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

    What would you do? Up for a -4 or even -8, but I'm not looking to use transfers on my bench.
    0 FT's and 2.3 ITB

    Martínez
    Chilwell - T. Silva - Cresswell
    KDB - Fernandes - Son - Grealish - Bowen
    Vardy - Bamford

    (Steer, Brewster, Mitchell, Lamptey)

    1. Boz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No hit needed

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be tempted by Bowen to Jota for -4

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

        I was too, but I'm more on Ziyech tbh.
        Would like my midfield to stay put until Covid or injuries hit throughout december.

        Most on either
        Bowen -> Ziyech
        T. Silva -> Robbo
        T. Silva -> Castagne (risky)

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

          Slightly worried Bowen won't start.

  13. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Only way for me to get KDB in while keeping Bruno and Son, is taking a -8 to move from Soucek/Werner to KDB/Brewster and switch to 352.

    Yes do it, or no?
    Dont expect the -8 to pay off this weekend, but over the next 5 we do expect KDB to outscore Werner by more than 8 points, dont we?

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

      I personally wouldn't do a -8 and still end up with Son in the team, but that's just me. That said, i agree that KDB will outscore Werner in the next 5 GW's.

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

      I like it, but only if you already own Chilwell & Ziyech.
      Really think we need 2 Chelsea going forward.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What about losing Son? I did a -8 earlier in the season and hated it haha

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah that’s the other option, would only cost -4 to get KDB in. But I would lose Son 🙂

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What kind of Father would that make me??!

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Haha. I did it

  14. Parsnips
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dunne > cancelo for -4 a good option?

    1. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      i did the same move for free

      1. Bielsa Murderball
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        but answering your qn, dias would be more sensible for a hit if you need to do 🙂

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  15. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sell Ziyech/Son for Kdb? plan is to do Son to Kdb next week for city's fulham game, just do it now?

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

      Z

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        but don't chelsea have better fixtures than spurs after this GW?

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

      I would keep Ziyech and sell Son

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That's what i'm leaning towards, question is do it this GW or next?

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

          I'd say so, especially if Pope doesn't play, but only if you're planning on captaining KDB. I've got KDB and am definitely captaining him

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

    Who do you prefer for the medium term?

    A) Taylor
    B) Balbuena

    1. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Balbuena has better fixtures

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

      A

  17. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son to Salah (-8) is madness, right? Scared that most of my rivals will have kept him instead of getting rid and a hat-trick at Brighton isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

    1. Vlekz
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Why write -8? If you already are on a -4, this move is also another -4 and you have to make sure this move is profitable irrespective of the old one.
        If you making another move along with this one for funds. Mention that too

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

          Because I'd be swapping bench fodder to afford it, so Podence would become Dale Stephens.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Week of hits for everyone?

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

        Not me. Managed to get KDB and Vardy without losing Son and Kane

      2. Party time

          Every gw I take hits & this is another one. I am addicted

            • 5 Years

            Good outcome?

            1. Party time
                3 years, 4 months ago

                No but I will turn over a new leaf now tho by reducing it to -4 per week

          I’m on wc and in need for some final help. Struggling between team A or B.

          Team A
          Martinez, fodder
          Dias, KWP, Chilwell, Targett, Williams
          KdB, Bruno, Jota, Sterling, Soucek
          Vardy, Watkins, Brewster
          0,6 itb

          Team B
          Martinez, fodder
          Dias, KWP, Chilwell, Cancelo, Williams
          KdB, Bruno, Jota, Grealish, Ziyech
          Vardy, Watkins, Brewster
          0,2 itb

          The difference is
          Sterling, Soucek, Targett
          Vs
          Grealish, Ziyech, Cancelo

          What do you prefer?

            Latter

            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            b

          3. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            triple city is too much with low form, so probably B

          4. Big Al Stankovic
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers all.

            B is a bit more balanced, but Sterling is also an easy route to Salah/mane.

            But maybe a too big risk based on their current form.

        • JUNITED
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A) Torres & Bamford

          Or

          B) McGinn & Jesus

            Wouldn't do Kane to Vardy for a -4. Rather figure out a plan to get city and pool players for gw11 and 12

          3 years, 4 months ago

          Who scores more in the next 2 weeks

          A Salah
          B Sterling

          Am i gtg after doing this: Kane+Zaha> Vardy+KDB (-4), Can't get Zaha>KDB with a single transfer.

          McCarthy
          Zouma, Mitchell, Justin
          KDB (C), Grealish, Son, Rashford
          Werner, Vardy, DCL

          Forster, Taylor, Lamptey, Stephens

            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Pretty good apart from Mitchell/Taylor situation

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

              Yes, but Lamptey back next week should ease the pain in the back. Didn't see it worth a transfer.

        • The Darkest Knight
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Front 8

          KDB / Bruno / Son / Grealish
          Kane / DCL / Bamford

          How about Son + Kane >> Salah + Antonio/Watkins for (-8)???

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

            That's front 7 😀 I wouldn't do those for -8 losing both. Selling one probably considerable at this point.

              • 13 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Getting Salah is priority and.... to get him need to downgrade Kane...

        • Pedersen
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Still deciding between Vardy or DCL as C

          1. The Darkest Knight
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            out of those Vardy... safe

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

            Vardy [C] DCL [VC] ... may regret

          "No, they are fatigued, many games, mental fatigue," Guardiola said, when asked if Walker or De Bruyne were injured.

          "They were a little bit tired. In the beginning [of the season] we couldn't do it with all the problems. Now we have players back so it was good for them to have a week off."

          What does Pep mean that Walker and KDB have/had the week off? Still good to start this weekend though?
