Fantasy Football Scout: Who do the odds suggest you should have in your team? 

The odds point towards Tottenham against a struggling West Brom. Harry Kane’s odds means it is a 58% chance he scores. Son is also the fourth most likely player to score this week, with an implied % of 48%.

Only Sheffield United have less of a chance at keeping a clean sheet than West Brom. Therefore, if you are looking to go against the grain, Timo Werner could be the way to go. The German should also now should be on penalties going forward after scoring another in the Champions League. His odds imply a 50% chance of scoring. 

Given Sheffield United’s desperately poor record scoring goals as well, Chelsea defenders may be the route to go down to secure some clean sheet points. They are the most likely side to keep a clean sheet at 50%.

Ben Chillwell already has a goal and assist so far this season, and Chelsea arrive here having secured two clean sheets in a row. At £5.9 million, the Englishman has the chance of a nice points haul this gameweek.
