Gameweek 10 comes to its conclusion under the Selhurst Park lights this evening as Palace prepare for the visit of Sunderland.

Neil Warnock’s side have been decent at the back in front of their own fans, with two clean sheets in their last three home matches, and Fantasy faith in the likes of Julian Speroni and Joel Ward will be understandably strengthened tonight, bearing in mind the Black Cats have failed to score in each of their last three road trips.

Further up the field, budget striker Fraizer Campbell is looking to score for the third successive home encounter, having netted against Leicester and Chelsea in recent matches. Wide right, Wilfried Zaha will be desperate to turn on the style – having ousted Jason Puncheon from the XI last time around, the youngster is ineligible to face parent club United next weekend and will be looking to ensure he remains ahead of his fellow winger in the pecking order.

Gus Poyet’s side have scored in one of the last five and are still licking their wounds after an 8-0 mauling at Southampton in their previous away match. The Black Cats are afforded slight reason for optimism, though, with their hosts conceding at least twice in four of their last five.

Tonight’s team sheet gives Vito Mannone owners cause for concern, though – the Italian is replaced by Costel Pantilimon between the posts in one of four changes as Poyet goes in search of a first away win of the season.

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      hmm interesting, i was thinking of getting rid of him to bring in Sanchez

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        costa and kun HAVE to occupy the 2 striker spots and the other one if for grasp imo

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B for me

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Don't they have a few games before then?

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Save

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        epifail u mean wait another week or not to get costa at all?

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wait and bring him in after the internationals

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        ok it seems logical then but worried about price rise

    6. Green Mango
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you ship out AdM... His next four fixtures are excellent and he's a top mid. I'd personally wait on Costa for another game week or two and better assess.

      1. Messi & fabregas
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        it seems to be the wise thing to do then twbivens , thanks

    gosh i'm bored. just googled aaron winter to see if there was any cause for an 'aaron winter is coming' GOT pun. he's been doing little of interest, as, consequently, am i. 🙁

    Why do people think the no look pass is cool?
    Doesn't fool anyone ever and you already made the movement before looking away.
    It's like the kid who used to let ball bounce between keepie ups and thought he was amazing

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It's just like smoking. Looks cool but is no good.

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Agree. It's only useful if you genuinely make the player look the other way

      So basically never

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        We had guy who did it in five a side all the time
        Basically he was looking at a wall and thinking that would fool us

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          What a complete melon.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It isn't ?..jeez...just gonna nip out for a fag and have a think about that.

    • 15 Years

    I hope Zaha gets to 60 before he gets subbed 🙂

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      better 2 points than 1

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        That was sort of my point.

        1. Bellerinmondo
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I was sympathising 🙂

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If Warnock takes him off over Bolasie I might shut the game off.

  9. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Its gas watching a random match like this and finally seeing what players like PVA look like 😀

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      😀

    2. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I didn't even know he was black
      No idea who I have been looking at during games

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I spent %90 of last season thinking Callum Chambers was black before I saw him 😆

    3. 420king

      should click on the "i" button on fpl more 😀

    Krul,Elliot

    Ivanovic,Baines,Hutton,Clyne,Wisdom

    Fab,Sanchez,Chadli,Siggy,Jones

    Kun,Wellbeck,Pelle

    0.6 in bank 1FT

    any ideas, thinking about ditching Ivanovic to free up some funds ..

    Cresswell, Chambers are options

  12. Revival

    According to the fixture ticker Burnley have 4 easy fixtures over the next 5 gameweeks 😯

    1. rafa benitez
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      burnley should just get pulis now

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      shhhhhhhh....

    3. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      triple up

  13. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Not watching match, how bad does PvA injury look?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Bad. Did his shoulder it looked like he was stretchered off.

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Balls, already done transfer this week, not worth a hit to get rid. So defender change next week it is then. Hate forced transfers.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like dislocated shoulder. Will be min 3 weeks.

      1. HP.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Atleast 6 months.

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Depends how bad it is. Rojo dislocated shoulder at weekend and only gonna miss 2-3 games.

  14. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Fabrigas or Hazard to go for Sanchez?

    Leaning towards Getting rid of Fabrigas as I bought Hazard in last week and captained him, think he's more likely to out score Fabrigas now he's in form, although will lose 0.4 on fab, any views.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Get rid Fabs obviously . Play the game

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      That's too tough for me. Sorry.

    3. BugsyMalone
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You're right about Hazard likely to score more points...switch fab to sanchez

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard

  15. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, I've had some time to think, but still need a little help, what would you do with this mess?!!?

    Krul, Foster

    Baines, Bertrand, Wisdom, Duff, Moore

    Fabregas, Tadic, Eriksen, Siggy, Marney

    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    0.5 in the bank, 2 FT wildcard still to play.

    help a brother out?

    1. BugsyMalone
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Well you have the perfect front line...But you need more firepower in the middle. Sanchez or Hazard are a must. You can afford either by switching Fab with one of them and Eriksen with Chadli or Downing.

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Very similar to my team, also have two FTs this week and can't decide what to do, no obvious way to get Sanchez, without losing Costa or Aguero

  16. Revival

    Lol @ Sky's Stevie Wonder halftime discussion graphic 😀

  17. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Half way to my cheeky Sunderland/Draw bet at 14/1. Its quite fun wanting 2 different teams to score in different halves.

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Best relatively cheap defender not called Chambers?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Craig Dawson

  19. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Would hate if an octopus did that to me

  20. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I swear if that non pen leads to a Sunderland CS 😡

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      who cares about sunderland CS now that PVA is injured? 😀

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Me

        rival has a 15 point lead and both Sunderland keepers, so I need a Palace goal

        1. 420king
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          ah i see, both keepers...

        2. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Welp. Can't say I am confident at the moment, JK.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            hopefully they get a rollocking at HT

  21. natra
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Bertrand, Naylor, Wisdom, Hutton, Chester

    Adm, Fabregas, Sterling, Sigg, Boyd

    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    2 FT, 0.3 itb

    a) Sterling, Pelle -> Sanchez, Sakho
    b) Sterling, Costa -> Sanchez, Sakho (losing 0,2 on bringing Costa back next gw)
    c) Sterling, Chester -> Downing, Baines
    d) Sterling, Chester -> Walcott, Dummet
    e) something else

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      B

      1. natra
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I remember you did the same combo ~yesterday.

        How much will you lose on getting rid of Costa? I bought him for 10.5 and this is obvious weakness of this.

  22. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Keep Eto'o this week or take -4 > Berahino?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Eto'o

  23. Milan 0
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Best replacement for Mannone, no budget?

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Pantilimon?

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        lol.

        Forster or Adrian i reckon

  24. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Shelvey suspension is good news for Sanchez owners. Tom Carroll not exactly the best midfielder at defending.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Might they play Amat in midfield?

  25. Walsh
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I hope someone asks Warnock after the game why Bolasie takes corner kicks ever.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      ADM wasn't much better at the weekend. Must be something in the air..

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I mean I'm no professional but if your actual job is a corner kick taker and you kick one that doesn't clear the first man more than maybe once in twenty you should not have that be your job.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yep..three in a row by ADM at the weekend...I can see him losing them if that carries on.

  26. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Fabregas will get booked vs Liverpool and miss the juicy WBA home fixture.

    Well, that's the 'logic' I'm applying in order to get rid of him anyway lol

    1. BDMC5
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Think im going the same way. Cant go another week of my rivals captaining sanchez and the other big hitters in my time as too captainable to get rid of this week

  27. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Halt time just pointed out fletcher scored exact same goal against them last year
    A good manager would have noticed that

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A good manager and Warnock??

      I see the problem here

  28. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Hendo? worth a bring in?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me, offers nothing in a team that aren't scoring goals

  29. Declan
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    PVA and Sterling ➡ Duff and ADM, -4?

  30. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    come on Panty red card for last man foul, with Mannone coming on to save the penna.
