The Fantasy Flutter: Betting odds on the Gameweek 30 Premier League action


Sponsored by bet365


The fixtures seem almost too good to be true in Gameweek 30, with Leeds United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa – teams whose players many of us will already own in Fantasy Premier League – all enjoying plum fixtures.

And it’s from these ‘bankers’ (if only that were true) that we’ll be having a small, sensibly staked punt this weekend.

We’ll be again turning to the odds provided by our official sportsbook partner, bet365, to wager a bet on the Premier League action over Easter.

As ever, we urge you to gamble responsibly and always remember: when the fun stops, stop.

BAGGIES TROUSERED

Take a dip into the Twitter bubble and it seems like every man and his dog is championing Marcos Alonso for Chelsea’s Saturday lunchtime kick-off against West Bromwich Albion.

The cult FPL hero has had more comebacks than Frank Sinatra and refuses to go away, seeing off manager after manager who fails to tap into his Fantasy potential.

He is certainly thriving under Thomas Tuchel and while he’s a considerable rotation risk in any given match, his non-involvement at international level and Ben Chilwell’s midweek run-out for England may well tip the balance in favour of the Spaniard this weekend.

Alonso has had more penalty box touches and shots in the opposition area than any other FPL defender in their last six matches, so it seems like he’s due one of his bi-annual hauls.

He’s 14/1 to grab the first goal against Sam Allardyce’s troops, with an anytime goal available at 9/2.

By placing an each-way first goalscorer bet, bet365 punters are essentially covering their behinds if their nominated player fails to break the deadlock.

Placing an each-way first goalscorer bet in this case means that any goal that the wing-back does score will return 14/3, even if one of his teammates or a Baggie has previously broken the deadlock.

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.

WERNER BOTHERS

Sticking with Chelsea v West Brom, the only player we know who will start at Stamford Bridge is Timo Werner, with Thomas Tuchel confirming as much in his pre-match presser.

The German was being defended by his club manager on Friday, with the striker’s midweek horror miss while on national duty a source of much amusement.

You wouldn’t bank on him for a goal at the moment but bet365 don’t like the Werners of this world to feel left out, so there’s a market just for them.

The Chelsea striker is 11/8 to have more than 3.5 shots against West Brom, but it doesn’t matter if they are blocked at source, find Row Z or, heaven forbid, hit the back of the net – so long as they are identified as shots, they count.

He does have eight assists to his name this season, to his credit, and he is 5/2 with bet365 to register more than 0.5 assists this weekend.

SON TARGET

On a similar theme, the shots on target market is another one for fans of underlying stats.

We’re heading to Tyneside for this punt, as a sorry-looking Newcastle United side prepare to entertain a Tottenham Hotspur outfit who welcome back Son Heung-min from injury.

The Korean is 1/2 to have over 0.5 shots on target – in other words, one tame effort into the arms of Martin Dubravka is enough for bet365 to pay out.

Harry Kane has to record over 1.5 shots on target to reach his threshold but given that he has had more attempts (4.3 per match) than any other Premier League player in their last six outings, 5/6 is a reasonable price.

BRAZILIAN WAX LYRICAL

The Elland Road ice rink doesn’t seem to be affecting Raphinha‘s game, with the in-form Brazilian in scintillating form at present.

He has the best expected goal involvement of any FPL midfielder in their last six matches, with mostly profligate finishing from his teammates to blame for the three blanks that preceded Gameweek 29.

Fond of a shot as much as a key pass (he has had 15 efforts of his own in his last half-dozen outings), Raphinha is a tempting 6/1 to score the first goal against whipping boys Sheffield United this weekend.

A Leeds win and over 2.5 goals scored in that fixture is 13/10.

TREBLE WITHOUT A DRAW

Backing Spurs, Leeds and Chelsea to all win their Gameweek 30 fixtures to nil returns just over 11/1 with bet365.

And while we’re on the subject of accumulators, the more traditional ‘acca’ involving full-time results comes with a bonus with bet365 depending on the number of selections – the full details of which are below.


Soccer Accumulator Bonus

Up to 70% bonus for accumulators on a wide range of selected leagues and competitions. Applies to pre-match accumulators of 3+ selections on standard Full Time Result, Both Teams To Score or Result/Both Teams To Score markets only.

Bonus percentage is dependent on number of selections. Bonus capped at £100k and applied to returns. Bet restrictions and T&Cs apply. New and eligible customers only.

      Wise words. I feel particularly sorry for the boss. A measly £461 million earnings in 1 year. Tough old life!

    Martinez
    Targett / Shaw / Dallas
    Raphinha / Bale / Odegaard / Bruno
    Kane / Antonio / Bamford

      Chelsea defender, bench Targett.

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I hadn’t originally planned to get ALonso, or is Azpi safer?

  8. Oggle22

    G2G
    Martinez
    Konsa Dallas Cancelo
    Son Bale Raphina Lingz Bruno
    Kane(c) Bamford

    Steele Antonio Stones Dunk

    1) get a Chelsea or Everton defender

    2) Bring in DCL for Antonio and bench Lingard?

    1. tom_p77
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      1) bring in Chelsea

    2. Crabwalk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I’d roll if I were you

  9. bitm2007

    Play one

    A) Auba (LIV)
    B) Gundo (lei)
    C) Struijk (SHU)

  10. casual69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 12 months ago

    Quick question, play one, bench one

    A. Salah v Arsenal (has a good record)
    B. Gund v Lei (in good form - scored for germ)

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Play both.

      1. casual69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Current Team:

        Martínez
        Cresswell Rüdiger Dallas
        Bale Lingard Salah Raphinha
        Bamford Antonio Kane (c)

        Ederson Gündogan Stones Veltman

        1. ebb2sparky
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I'd never bench Salah. Drop Bale if you want to play gundogan. I'm currently playing my city defender (cancelo) over Cresswell but it's a close call so might change my mind.

        2. beric
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I'm benching lingard in a similar situation

  11. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Play AWB or Stones?

    Have Dias in the 11.

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Awb

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers. Stones will start for sure judging by Pep's comment on him but Leicester Away is putting me off. Ieahnacho will be raring to raise the bar against his former club.

  12. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    What would you do here?

    Martinez
    Rudi, shaw, stones

    a. KDB
    b. Son

    1. NATSTER
      • 13 Years

      Son as more difficult fixtures and UCL matches for KDB.

  14. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Hello. What to do with Bale? Is it worth a hit to replace?

    Bale - Son - Bruno - Raphinha (Güngogan)
    Kane - Antonio - Bamford

    No FT. I've been looking at Salah / Jota or KDB for his favourable fixture of LEE (H) in GW31.

    A: [-4] Bale > Salah / Jota
    B: [-4] Bale > KDB
    C: Play Bale and manage him next GW

  17. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Some football facts that don’t sound real:

    - No English Manager has won the Premier league
    - Gabriel Jesus has scored more UCL goals than Zidane
    - Zidane was never offside in his career
    - Lingard is 28 years old
    - Giroud once played the whole game with zero touches

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Take the last one off your list; the rest are nutty!

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Why take that off?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          His entire Arsenal career was pretty hit and miss, lots of time up front waiting for service, always good at converting few chances

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I agree with you. I think it’s a coin toss between him and Digne. I’d still bench Antonio, Wolves are decent at the back tbh

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            Have Lingard too, probably leaning that way.

            Can’t see United keeping a CS.. Shaw could be dependent on attacking returns

  19. WALOR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Is Bale certain not to play?
    Or just too expensive to risk another benching?
    I have Jota or Antonio @ b1.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I sold Bale for Son for long term. I just can’t see him playing regularly

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Nothing certain there

  20. Romford Pele - Don't w…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Got a bit of a problem in that I have Stones, Gundogan & Mount who all played loads over internationals.

    Plan was to do Cancelo -> Alonso, play Mount and bench Gundogan and Stones.

    Do you think I should forget Alonso, play Cancelo v Leicester and upgrade Mount to a new midfielder? If so, who? 7.5m available for a midfielder

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yea and Jota

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Alonso isn’t a bad punt, but he’s a punt

    2. Romford Pele - Don't w…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      this is all one week punt stuff as i plan to WC in 31

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

      I dont get this Alonso love here. He is clearly not nailed on. Cancelo has more upside

      1. si
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        He’s my captain.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          That’s madness. Chilwell has every chance to start instead and Tuchel has subbed in Alonso few times before

          1. si
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            I would say a 10% chance having played twice for England, the fact it is West Brom, it’s at home, and Chilwell likely to start in Porto. And all the other choices are boring.
