The Fantasy Flutter: Betting odds on Blank Gameweek 36 Premier League action



Sponsored by bet365


Blank Gameweek 36 may be seven fixtures down on its predecessor but the matches themselves are arguably more attractive in Fantasy terms.

Newly crowned champions Manchester City are away at a porous Newcastle United, the two Merseyside teams face relegated outfits, and Tottenham Hotspur look forward to a meeting with a comfortably mid-table Wolverhampton Wanderers side who might as well be dusting down their snorkels and factor 50 sun cream.

And we’ll be wagering a few modest-sized punts on some of these upcoming Premier League games in this weekly betting piece, with the odds provided by our official sportsbook partner, bet365.

If you’re doing likewise, we urge you to gamble responsibly and always remember: when the fun stops, stop.

BRUCEY BONUS

City’s title party got underway on Tuesday with pizzas and dancing and the festivities could well continue tonight at the spiritual home of boozed-up stag dos.

But in this article, of course, it’s less the Bigg Market and more the win markets (sorry) that we’re interested in.

Newcastle have been generous hosts all season.

The Magpies have kept only one clean sheet on their own turf, which unsurprisingly is the worst record in the division.

They’re without a shut-out home or away in the past two months, while they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last seven games.

City have been excellent on their travels, by contrast, and will surely be back at something approaching full strength after run-outs for fringe players in Gameweek 35.

Full strength seems to include Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez, these days.

Foden is 5/1 to score first at St James’ Park, with Mahrez exactly the same price.

Sergio Aguero is far from first choice nowadays but there are plenty of sentimental saps like ourselves who are tempted by a nostalgic, end-of-season punt on the Argentine in FPL.

He’s 8/11 to score at any time tonight, whether he starts or makes a cameo appearance off the bench.

Should he make Pep’s line-up and those glass hamstrings break before half-tike, bet365 will refund stakes on selected markets for new and eligible customers.

Newcastle will be hoping that City are still a little worse for wear after their impromptu midweek celebrations.

They’ve been in excellent attacking form themselves of late, hitting four goals past third-place Leicester City a week ago.

Joe Willock is in sensational nick, scoring in four successive games.

And because of the calibre of opposition on Friday, his first goalscorer price is way bigger than what it ought to be.

The loanee is an eye-catching 22/1 to open the scoring against City.

And you can even get 7/4 on him registering just one (or more) shot on target, never mind finding the back of the net.

GULL-IBLE

Brighton will be without Lewis Dunk and very likely Joel Veltman this weekend, which should make West Ham’s life a bit easier given that the Seagulls are a very decent defensive unit.

It’ll also be music to the ears of Michail Antonio, who has been directly involved in 14 goals in his last 13 away Premier League starts (11 goals, three assists).

The West Ham forward is a generous 11/2 to score first at the Amex, which are actually longer odds than a regressing Jesse Lingard (9/2).

Albion are without Dunk (and Neal Maupay) because of suspension, of course.

And should you fancy a repeat of last week’s farce at Molineux, it’s 9/2 for there to be a red card.

PAYING (OUT ON) THE PENALTY

It’s not just red cards or shots on target that you can bet on with bet365.

A whole array of markets are available for each game, from corners to offsides.

In this VAR-crazy season, there’s also the potential for punts on penalties.

Liverpool were denied a spot-kick on Thursday night after intervention from the Stockley Park meddlers but they may get another stab at an effort from 12 yards this weekend.

That’s because no club has conceded more penalties than West Brom (nine) this season.

A spot-kick for either club in Sunday’s clash at the Hawthorns is 7/4, while Liverpool to score a penalty is 5/2.

Something else that caught our eye in this fixture was Mbaye Diagne to score first at 14/1. Given Liverpool’s problems at centre-half (as evidenced on Thursday) and the fact that Albion are behind only the Reds themselves for goals scored in their last six matches, Diagne’s price looks decent.

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

    What to do here lads, gotta take -8 I think. 1.9 ITB, 1FT, thanks!

      I’d probably lose Fofana and Nacho for an Everton defender and Antonio or Bamford

  2. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) Greenwood + Nacho > Foden / Raphinha + DCL (-4)

    B) Masuaku + Nacho > Alioski + Antonio (-4)

    And the age old question about an additional hit for a keeper? I’m planning on just going without for now.

        2 years, 10 months ago

        This was my decision and I did Nacho>Antonio although I did it based on my team for 37 and 38 as well. I think Digne is a better shout for this week in isolation

      2. Jambot

    Pickford, 3.9
    Trent, Dallas, xxx, xxx, Coufal
    Salah, Son, Mahrez, xxx, ESR
    xxx, DCL, Bamford

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A for me

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would go with A but still prefer Mitchell over Cancelo, you will never need your 5th defender until the end of season (just 3 GWs). 2.0 ITB might be handy to give you some flexibility in last couple of transfer moves..

  14. popey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Currently on 11 and no subs with one hit. Any of these worth a -4 to play over Mitchell this week and hold for the remaining games of season;

    a) Maddison > Lingard
    b) Maddison > Foden
    c) Castagne > Dallas

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  15. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I'm chaising 57 points and rival doesn't have FH

    1. Jota and DCL (rival have them)

    Or

    2. Siggy and Firmino

    ?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don't get Firmino. I still prefer 1 but maybe look at double defence or Mane for your Liverpool differentiation.

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What about Foden and Ings?

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Or Mahrez & Ings if you can afford it

      I like 4 but 1 or 2 is safer

    3. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If you only have 8 I'd take the -8 and go with 5

    Mahrez, Bale or Raphinha?

    Nacho, Watkins Kane

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

      Saka on will be transfer out

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hmmm maybe Mahrez cause you have Son and Kane already, not sure about Raph yet but he'd be my second choice cause of fixtures

  19. Muscout

    C) Kane

      • 9 Years

      Kane, Wolves hit with injuries

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B - safe
      A/C - punts

    3. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C if wood can score 3 against wolves surely kane can bag 5

      1. Muscout
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hahah I like the optimism!

  20. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Given that he's been a flat track bully, is Bale a better option than Son?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      could be but son aint bad either and more secure with minutes plus som set pieces, also creating alot

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If you're chasing

  21. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who to have on FH as 3rd City?
    Mendy (strong bench)
    Ederson

  22. tabby98
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What to do here guys?

    Forster
    Dias, TAA, Coady, Shaw*
    Lingard, Salah, Jota
    Vydra, Kane, Iheanacho*

    Mendy* | Bruno*, Rudiger*, Saka*

    £0m ITB 1FT

    A) Shaw ---> Dallas/Coufal
    B) Iheanacho + Shaw ---> Bamford + Coufal (-4)

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  23. NoName
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Castagne to Dallas worth a hit, in case Jota or Reguilon don't feature? Would only field 10 if either is rested.

    1. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I guess Jota can feature from.the bench and still score?

  24. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which move to make this week?

    A) Bruno to Son
    B) Bruno to Raphinha
    C) Nacho to Bamford

    Likely will do Konsa to Dallas next week

  25. matiakez
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    For the season;

    DCL
    Bamford
    Ings
    Wood

  26. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Will Jota play because of Mane snub to Klopp? Thinking about Lingard>Jota on WC

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      can see jota benched even though he looked very lively against united

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Still probably better coming off bench than Lingard 90 mins?

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          west ham will setup to counter brighton, think it might suit lingard

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No Mane will play for sure. Kopp has already defused the situation

    Who to cap out of this lot?

    A Kane
    B Salah
    C DCL
    D Son

    Trailing ML by 10 and rival has Bruno, Kane & Son.

    Thanks guys.

    For a -4
    A. Bruno > Son
    B. Greenwood > Mahrez
    Will probably bring the Utd player back next week.

      I thought that. I’m playing Marti ahead of him and I’d put him behind Pickford
