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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Moreno > Baines
    Welbeck > Kane

    - 4

    Have Sanchez. Means I can also keep Tadic. Instead of downgrading to Downing to get Baines.

      No

        Tell me why....

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

          Kane might not even start.

            This and is he does - meh

            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            I'd put money on that he does against Stoke.

            The other thing is, for 4.8 are you that bothered if he doesn't?

            The other thing is, he looks like he can score from the bench anyway.

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

              If you spend -4 you're gonna be bothered if he doesn't start. He may not even play at all let alone not start.

                • 13 Years

                Lets all play the same way then. 😆

                By the way, Epic, how you bona bring Alexis.
                Costa?

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

                  Haven't given it much thought, but I have 2 frees so I have options. I may get rid of Hazard for him temporarily.

  2. John t penguin

    There are so many poor corner kick takers in the game

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Bizarrely even Di Maria doesn't seem to be very good at them.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        It's strange, as his free kicks whipped in from the side of the box are....

        WICKED 😀 !

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Need someone to put them in

            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Van Persie gone to the dogs.

            What's this Falcao bloke like if the ever plays ?

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Exactly, he seems to be improving his hair style not ankle

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      It is unfathomable to me. If I did that on Sunday I'd be disgusted with myself

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        ... And me.

        As I play Rugby 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Egg chasing?!

  3. Bigo1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Confused, will Downing increase tonight?

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

      He should not.

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

    PVA and Sterling ➡ Duff and ADM, -4??

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yes

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

        Dan recommending a point hit?

        What a complete and utter shock

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

      Go ahead

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Can you just do Adm for Sterling, and bench PVA ?

      No Likey hits for defenders

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

        No 🙁

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Oh...

  5. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy and Fab (have Costa) to ADM and Downing?

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

      Yep

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Forgot to mention it is for -4.

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

          Definitely not then

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers Mr Wan

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

      Yeah. Though having Costa doesn't mean a thing.

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers EVS. Which aspect are you particularly against? Players going out or those coming in?

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Fab.

          He's in my tier 1 list off players.

          Just a consistent supply of points.

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Very true. Just worried about lack of ADM for United's fixtures. Expect him to out score Fab over the next sequence.

            1. Evs
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              I just can't see anything better than fab....

              He would be one of the last players I would lose, after Aguero,

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

      Not for me

      Siggy and fab better options IMO

  6. jam
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Damn the Sterling drop! Messed up my plans big time. To get Sanchez now I either need:

    Siggy (bought at 6.0) > Boyd or
    Bertrand (have Clyne too) > Chambers.

    Thinking the latter...?

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

      i would

    2. Magic Box
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You would be right 🙂

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

      The latter for sure. Expecially if Boyd would be your 4th midfielder...

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

        Well I have Downing so Boyd would be benched. It would eliminate the Sig v Downing problem!

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

    Ok I think i made my mind up

    Krul Foster

    Baines, Bertrand, Wisdom, Duff, Moore,

    Eriksen, Tadic, Marney, Fabregas>Sanchez Siggy>Downing

    Costa, Pelle, Sergio

    whadya reckon?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      For free?

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

        For free yeah, would you do it?

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

          Yeah

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

            sure?

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

              Wellllll I'd personally try and keep fab and get Sanchez some other way

              Maybe downgrade tadic

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

                to?

                1. Robe Wan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years

        2. copps
          • 14 Years

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      How's your knees today sir? Itchy?

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

        itchy knees? i dont think i want to know but.....what are you talking about?

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Nevermind

          It's a bit knee jerking moves sorry I didnt make it blatantly clear to u

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

            no worries, I thought you were making some sort of joke about an activity that someone might do whilst they were on their knees.....anywho....

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

            you think its a bad move then?

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Defo

              All I can say is, cesc with this form and consistency, u have to keep him.

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

                4 yellow cards? and I have costa.....

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Makes no difference IMO

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

                Also, I need Sanchez, so someone has to go, if its not Cesc then its gotta be Costa, or Sergio, or Baines...

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 5 months ago

                  Why do u need sanchez? Cos he smashed it last 2 weeks? He has swans away and manu home. I don't think its wise to get rid cesc with his fixtures, liv and wbrom

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

                    3 weeks....

                      I tell u what

                      Just go for it then. Let's remember this discussion 🙂

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years

          Rival has the same so I really want to jinx it 😆

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

    begovic has made 12 saves in 10 games. normally you'd think that equates to a few clean sheets at least.

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

      that would assume teams only shoot 1 or 2 times on target in a game.....

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

        yeah he certainly isnt stopping any that are on target. i mean 1 save a game is ridiculous.

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

    Any news on Eriksen, did Poch say he was injured?

  11. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    PVA has secured me 7 points in the Telegraph game tonight

    2 points for starting
    3 points for the assist
    2 points for part match CS

    Hope he's not injured for long though - was it bad?

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

      Rojo like

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sometimes a dislocated shoulder can be fixed and playing next game though.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Bang it back in. Job done.

          What's the matter with them, like a bunch of tarts 🙂 !

  12. chrisjdgrady
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Well PVA with a last glorious assist on my bench thx buddy

    PVA and ADM > Saylor and Sanchez for free looking like my move. Yea?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Losing ADM before QPR?! Brave.

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

    Unbelievable no changes at halftime from Palace. Warnock is clueless.

  14. NeedleVor
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Why on earth would anyone in their right mind consider selling Fabregas?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Pass.

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      They dislike consistent points?

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      6 points per game isn't enough for them and it all about having a new shiny toy.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        😀

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

        Simple really. He unlikely to be captained by anyone going into this week while the likes of costa , adm,pelle, aguero will get plenty of (c).

        Sanchez being averaging 10 points more than fab to boot and 1 booking away from suspension. Hes the easier of options to boot .

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Sanchez has 2 tough games coming up

          Getting rid of cesc is insane at all rates imo

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

          I think Sanchez has 4 tough games in a row coming up

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

        😀

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      To get Di Maria in.

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

        Cesc to ADM would mean you literally play fpl solely based on the upcoming gameweek which is an crazy way to operate. Utter nonsense transfer.

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

      High ownership so maybe people want a differential

    6. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      to get sanchez

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

      I am looking at setting Sanchez and if I do its a straight choice between Hazard or Fabrigas, I think Hazrard will score more over the season, so its either keep Fab or don't get Sanchez, who is being brought in by many top players. So Stick or Twist!

  15. Don Rogers FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Milner stats all look really good..... except for Assists and Goals!

    Any wise insights out there?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

    Whats the chances of Sammy Ameobi continuing to get a game?

    No pressing transfers so looking to ship Obertan due to his injury, options are:

    Boyd or Ameobi

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't get a Newcastle mid or forward until the team selection is a little more settled.

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years

      3-4 weeks (I think?)

      1. rafa benitez
        • 11 Years

        thanks

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

      Might be back after the international break.

  20. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    God I hope Sakho's fit for next GW.
    Hate transferring in injured players early in the week but I had to if I wanted Hazard

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

    Who would you rather Keep?

    A) Siggy

    B) Tadic

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

    3. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Both

  22. Tatty Bojangles
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Did the PvA injury look serious?

    If Sunderland get a clean sheet then it pretty much seems up my week 😀

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

      Dislocated shoulder it looked like.

      3 months for Rojo with the same...

      1. Tatty Bojangles
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sheeeeeeeeet.

  23. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, i admit, i made a mistake.

    My team has been rocketing up the mini leagues from a dire position, and i have been taking it easy with the transfers.

    Now i'm stuck with sterling.

    Currently considering pelle and sterling for Austin and sanchez, on the basis that i was planning on selling pelle soon before his fixtures turn sour. Thoughts?

    1. - DC -
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Austin is a good pick. Wouldn't lose Pelle just yet though.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not this week with Pelle playing LEI

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

        That's my only problem.

        I just don't know who else to get rid of. Already have chadli downing and hazard and aguero and costa. If i only get rid of sterling it would have to be for someone cheaper...

  24. - DC -
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Berahino + Kane = 10.8

    Diego Costa = 10.9

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa > Berahino + Kane + 10 goals.

      1. - DC -
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        In the end, probably yes.

        But who sticks to a team for the whole season?

        You maximize points by getting in the right players at the right times. Regardless of price or name.

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not strong captaincy options though

      1. - DC -
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Absolutely not, but I'm looking at going with both for a couple of weeks. 😆

        Berahino - Aguero - Kane

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

      You mean that DC cost like a bargain + a bencher?

    4. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Would put all my money on Costa having way more points than then combined at the end of the season

      1. - DC -
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        "at the end of the season"

        You do know even the best players in this game can be outscored by cheaper players for a period?

        I'm gonna start playing the game in periods. Rather than looking at the team for the whole season.

    Patrick van shitholt

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years

      So very, very clever....

    2. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Well, he gave an assist. 4 points is more than expected from a Sunderland defender these days

    3. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Shoulder van Dislocate

  26. jam
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone taking a punt on McNair..? Should be in for a few games withour Rojo, Evans, Jones, Smalling...

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

    Are Sanchez and Downing rising tonight can anyone tell me?

  28. Nelson Vivas Fan Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Any idea on who will replace Rojo while he's out?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Michael Carrick? 😀

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

      mcflair

  29. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Just watching the Lazio vs Cagliari game...

    Klose what a legend
    Why Ibarbo still plays for a smaller club?

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Too much FIFA?

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Nope mate..
        He really deserve a better squad

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Klose's hold up play is still unreal alright. Great all-round striker.

  30. Lallana_

    At least PvA got you an assist owners!
