    Villa 5/1, yes please.

    If the bookies have made a mistake this week it looks like Stoke to me. I see nothing but a comfortable home win and have captained Bojan because it it.

    There's a good weekly article on FFS now that sums up GW odds from bookies: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/10/02/what-the-bookies-say-gameweek-8/

    Massive problem with that is he/she doesn't use the best odds available which doesn't give a true perception.

    For example, he/she has City as 17/20 to keep a clean sheet which makes you think it's pretty likely to happen - less so when you see you can get 1/1 with other bookmakers. De Bruyne is listed on that article as 4/5 to score at anytime but is actually available at 7/4, a whopping difference really.

    Agreed. 4/5 on De Bruyne is absolutely taking the p*ss

    Haven't done a bet on this in a while.
    Kolarov @ 250/1 stands out to me.

    That does seem pretty good value alright. Its like they always stick a real tempter in at 250!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    And 1/2 Aguero is just beyond ridiculous.

    I'd lay at that price to anyone who wants to bet. But I can see why they don't want to give a realistic price on a market like this.

    Yeh but its miles from being realistic! 2/1 I wouldn't even be going too crazy about it. Does he really have a better than 33% chance of being the top scorer? I'm not even sure he does. 1/2 is one of the worse value prices I have ever seen. I guess with such a small market its entirely possible someone got on straight away with a relatively big bet and at 1/2 they are basically just shutting the book on him.

    That's how they make money:D

    They have lots of players at 250/1, every single one being a contender.

    If anyone's interested, some head to head markets have been opened up.

    Anyone have clean sheet odds for next weekend? I need to pick 3 from...

    Nyom away to Villa
    Souare home to Newcastle
    Kolarov home to Saints
    Bellerin away to Norwich
    Bertrand away to City

    At the minute I'm going Souare, Kol and Bellerin. Nyom does have a decent fixture though.

    I put the odds next to the players. I have a similar problem, have to bench one of Moreno, Delaney, Kolarov, and Bellerin. Delaney would be the easy one since he's cheapest and doesn't have as much attacking threat, but Newcastle have been woeful last two matches. I'm currently benching Bellerin because Coquelin is out, but maybe Kolarov is the better one to bench

    Where does Galloway away to Bouremouth come in?

    12/5. Keep an eye on Baines though, he's played some reserves football


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,271 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Sourced and sorted these as part of my ponderings so may as well share.

    They backed up my gut for my own defence to play my three cheaper defenders and bench my dear ones. Palace, Liverpool and WBA ahead of Spurs and Arsenal.


    Clean sheet odds GW17

    CHE 4/6
    MUN 10/11
    LIV 6/4
    SWA 6/4
    NEW 13/8
    STO 7/4
    WBA 15/8
    EVE 21/10
    SOT 11/5
    CPL 9/4
    BOU 23/10
    TOT 23/10
    ARS 13/5
    WHM 11/4
    MCI 3/1
    WAT 3/1
    AVL 10/3
    LEI 4/1
    NOR 11/2
    SUN 13/2


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,271 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Many seem to be having the same conundrum over defenders. In case you missed the odds above during the week I'll bump.

    They back the likes of WBA, Palace and Liverpool over Arsenal, Spurs and City.

    Not by much in some cases but helped me follow my gut. City are nearly the same price as Villa!

    Odds are Paddy Power.

    That's what I expected thanks.

    My decision of the week is Moreno v Evans to start. Bookies heavily favour Moreno (13/8 to 7/2) but I have Evans starting right now since Soton haven't been prolific recently and derby matches are so unpredictable

    Surprised at those odds. I have Evans starting too, hadn't really considered Moreno ahead of him...
