After Watford’s win over United at Vicarage Road earlier this afternoon, Fantasy managers are treated to a couple of 2.15 pm encounters in the busiest Sunday of the season so far.

Mid-price pair Christian Benteke and Wilfried Bony go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as Palace look to build on last week’s win at ‘Boro.

Wilfried Zaha has another opportunity to strengthen his claim as a cheap midfield option after last week’s goal and assist on Teesside, though Marko Arnautovic could also throw his hat in the ring as the Potters prepare for a fine upcoming run of matches.

Southampton continue to seek a first league win under Claude Puel, though will be buoyed by the midweek Europa League win over Sparta Prague.

Visitors Swansea have managed just a single point in the last three Gameweeks, though the manner of their comeback against Chelsea last Sunday will fill the Welsh outfit full of confidence.

A poor performance from either side may well persuade owners to look elsewhere given their respective upcoming fixtures. Saints face West Ham, Leicester, City and Chelsea in the next five, whilst the Swans go up against City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

      Thanks but no one cares.

        Guess you had a bad week ?

      2. tm245
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Harsh and unnecessary.

        1. Eden Azzzar

          This

        2. Tansey

          Really isn't. Hate these posts. Or "Guys I got 72, is that any good?"

          1. tm245
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Read what he posted again. Where else is he supposed to communicate this information?

            1. Tansey
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Just wondering if he would've communicated this information to us if he had a bad week

          2. Eden Azzzar
            10 years, 1 month ago

            What's the difference stating if he has got a good or bad score.

            1. Tansey
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Would he have stated it if he got a bad score?

            They the second worse type of posts. After the kiddies post " lol at xxx"

            1. The Enlightener
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Surely not worse than posts with such poor grammar.

              1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Hehehe go away. Who cares about grammar. I'm on my phone posting on a fantasy football forum you idiot. Your one of these people I talk about. I can tell

            Not singling you out. A lot do it ..just annoys me that's all

      4. Count of Monte Hristo

        Pipe down Worzel

    2. Eden Azzzar

    3. Declan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      69 plus Townsend baps. Kane (C)

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Great work mate. Kane will do well today I reckon

      2. devils advocate
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You're going to have a monster score!

        NOICE! 😉

    4. Shultan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So many bitter people! If you can't brag when you have a good score, or moan when you have a bad score on a fantasy football scout site, then where can you?!

  3. OPTA FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kone or Holebas?
    Holebas 3 YC already

  4. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Austin comes on and scores. He should be starting every GW. This Puel sounds a complete moron if you ask me. Don't need to be a professional manager to realise this.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Instead he plays redmond up top

    2. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For sure.. Shane Long on the other hand has never been PL quality

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I dont get it. I wanted Austin since GW1 as he would be the best 3rd striker IMO but Puel is just barking mad.

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lol.

        This fella plays a system with Redmond up top but your questioning Shane Long?

        1. KingNidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I would question the both of them

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I'd question Puel he's not premier league class.

            He's come in and decided that Redmond is the new Henry.

            A blind man would have started with Long and Austin in a front two.

            To say Long isn't premier league class is imo ridiculous Nidge.

            1. KingNidge
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Yep would certainly question the manager too

              Would agree with Long over Redmond but personally would maybe have Long in a wider position he likes to run the channels and works his bollox off for the team

              Maybe came across as harsh i do like him as a player but does he have the quality to get ya 15 goals or more in a central position.. not for me.. they could certainly do with an upgrade or two as far as striking options go

              1. Hibbo
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                10 years, 1 month ago

                He's fairly selfless for the team.

                Does he get enough goals? No.

                Is a two with him and Redmond going to get enough goals? No.

                I just don't get the Redmond experiment. Long can lead the line like a battering ram and let Charlie score the goals.

                For me Austin has to start but it'd be in place of this Redmond striker stuff.

                1. KingNidge
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Aye well Austin should have been in from day one he's proven himself in the big league so can't quite get my head round why he has been sat on the pine

                  Long and Austin actually has the potential to be really good

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully he has nailed his spot now

    4. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Why is he starting with Long or even Redmond up top?

  5. Declan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Joe Hart clean sheet

    1. some witty pun
      10 years, 1 month ago

      essential

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      *John

  6. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stoke chose to focus on containing Benteke and have been punished for it. Not sure shipping him when they obviously have plenty of crosses in them is the right idea.

  7. PainInDiaz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Deeney or Ighalo?

    Seems like Ighalo does all the hard work, but Deeney being the captain is a safe bet.

    Whom would you rather own?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The one on pens.

    2. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney. On pens. Cheaper.

    3. TheTinman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely deeney

    4. PainInDiaz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all. Deeney it is.

    5. GHB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ighalo does all the hard work?

  8. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke you waste of space

  9. Kane Train
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone keeping Townsend now?

  10. The Mighty Whites
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts? -

    Cech / Pickford

    Walker / Baines / McAuley / Holebas / Amat

    Sanchez / Firmino / Antonio / Snodgrass / Capoue

    Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney

    1. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same team. But downgrade cech to heaton/4.5 and upgrade mcauley and firmino to mané?

  11. Ziro
    10 years, 1 month ago

    About that thing where you keep doing transfers and hit the WC button on deadline day, I am scared so I won't do it, but it is a valid tactic and you all should do it.

      lol

    2. Grand Thibauto
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The people who does that represent 0.000000000000000000001% of the wildcarders. Doesn't make any difference really.

      1. FPL Puppy
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This.
        Just pointless. Press the WC and be done with it.

        Or you will just be like that guy that missed to confirm his WC and had a -40 hit.

        1. Ziro
          10 years, 1 month ago

          read the post. 😉

    3. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you do that? Asking for trouble

      1. Ziro
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I won't. 😉

      2. MTPockets
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Already hit

  12. TorresMagic™

    Need an Eriksen sub appearance to block those Capoue bench points.

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      More owners than Lamela?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Both in that case.

  13. kingcairo

    Tottenham XI v sunderland. Lloris; walker, alderweireld, dier, vertonghen; dembele, wanyama; son, alli, sissoko; kane
    Tottenham v sunderland XI. Pickford; djilobolji, manquillo, kone, PVA; januzaj, kirchhoff, cattermole, ndong, pienaar; defoe

    Eriksen doesn't start

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Lamela? Yessss

      1. BlzE_94
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Why? He will come on as a sub.

  14. Fred54
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kyle Walker is OoP up front, right?

    *Rocking chair madly rocks*

  15. ★Kuntheman★

    Stoke are woeful

  16. TorresMagic™

    Walters 🙁

  17. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Right then. Draft WC time...

    Jaku // Marshall

    Walker // Williams // Holebas // Kelly // Amat

    Sanchez // Firmino // Sterling // Antonio // Capoue

    Aguero // Lukaku // Deeney

    Loathe to lose Foster on goal, but don't want to downgrade anyone by 0.1, and there is a fixture swing between WBA and Hull.

    What would you change?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jaku + Marshall?

    2. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago
