The Gameweek rolls on with a pair of Sunday afternoon Premier League encounters at the KC Stadium and Selhurst Park.

We start in South London, where Liverpool return to the scene of the crime – the venue where last season’s title hopes were slain after the Merseysider’s conceded a three-goal lead to Crystal Palace.

They arrive to take on the Eagles in a far different situation, struggling for form and without a strike force seemingly fit to lace the boots of either Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. The latter misses out once again for Brendan Rodgers’ side along with Mario Balotelli who is absent today with a groin problem. Rickie Lambert starts in the Liverpool attack, then, whilst in midfield Rodgers is without the industry of Jordan Henderson through illness. Joe Allen and Adam Lallana are drafted in as Emre Can drops to the bench.

Crystal Palace also make changes as Mile Jedinak returns from his suspension to displace the injured James McArthur in midfield. He drops to the bench along with Wilfried Zaha as Jason Puncheon earns a recall to the flank. Dwight Gayle also earns a start as Frazier Campbell surrenders his starting berth.

Later today, we focus on Tottenham’s attempts to win three points on Humberside as Mauricio Pochettino’s outfit take on Hull City in their own backyard. Fantasy managers will be looking to Harry Kane to take his opportunity up front and add to the growing arsenal of budget strikers available, whilst also hoping that claims of a Nacer Chadli knee injury prove off the mark.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Happy for no significant point scores over the final 3 matches of this GW.
    I'm sure I'm in the minority on this. 🙂

    Which one would you bench this week?

    A) Yun (LEI)
    B) Naylor (CPL)
    C) Chambers (wba)
    D) Terry (sun)

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Hmmm. Not Terry obviously. Taylor starts too for me. Does Chambers offer enough attacking threat to start ahead of Yun? Yeah probably. I'd bench Yun

    2. Timtastic03
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yun

    3. MJ6987
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yun

  7. Pinky and Brain
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Can should start over Allen

    1. Demí
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Probably rested for midweek

    2. MJ6987
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks Captain Hindsight.

  8. Simon69
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Any advice on where I should use my 2FT? Had planned on trying to work Baines in but not so sure now. Cheers!

    Forster, Myhill

    Clyne, Chambers, NTaylor, Duff, Dummett

    Sanchez, Di Maria, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Boyd

    Aguero, D Costa, Berahino

    1. Sleep Talk
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Clyne and Berahino out.

      Not sure how you'll get Baines with those transfers though.

      Would have to downgrade Fab then perhaps.

    2. Timtastic03
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Downgrade forster and clyne and free cash in case you want to upgrade berahino later or forster downgrade and clyne > azpi

  9. Sleep Talk
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Tadic out for whom this week?

    Free transfer. 9.1m limit

    1. MJ6987
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That's an awkward amount.

      Siggy if you don't have him

      1. MJ6987
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Or Oscar maybe

      2. Sleep Talk
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Considering Siggy. But I'm really not convinced by his shots on goal/penalty area touches and those things. Feel he's been overperforming so far. I got rid a couple of weeks back and haven't regretted it, but now with fixtures turning again I'll at least give him a look.

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That is a question. Ask me again this evening/tomorrow.

      1. Sleep Talk
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, you're the best Doos 😉

      2. MJ6987
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Don't forget about by up to 6.0 one! Although, if Downing is OK I will just keep him.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          I haven't! Tables are being scrutinized, fixtures likewise. The study wall is a mess of spreadsheets! 😉

  10. Demí
    11 years, 11 months ago

    OMG Lambert

  11. Venom Snake
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone know or think Sakho will be good to go for next week?

  12. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on Chadli?

  13. Billy Gilmore
    11 years, 11 months ago

    LOL @ Balotelli

  14. mipola

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Lallana > Lambert - just like last year 🙂
    Except no-one in their right mind owns either of them this year obviously.

  18. Buck The Trent
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Welbs to Lambo ?

    *my knees

  19. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Palace 0-1 Southampton

  20. Solenya
    11 years, 11 months ago

    And to think Rodgers persisted with Balotelli over him for so long.

    1. MJ6987
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He would have today if Balo wasn't injured

      1. Solenya
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Bit ridiculous init. Only thing I can think of is, Lambert must be absolutely poor in training.

  21. Wilshere Knowledge
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Assist?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Lallana

    2. Gunner77-

    5. mipola
      11 years, 11 months ago

      lallana

    6. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      lala

    7. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone?

      1. supperspout
        11 years, 11 months ago

        lallana

        1. Wilshere Knowledge

  22. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Want N. Taylor for next two home games

    but dont know whether to risk it or not with 4 yellows?

    1. Birds of Prey
      11 years, 11 months ago

      bartley or Rangel

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Bartley nailed on?

  23. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    People need to finally realise that Lambert is not a lump. He has great skill, great touch and is a proper striker. No Ballotelli.

  24. Venom Snake
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Why isn't lallana starting every week

    1. MJ6987
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He's not been playing great

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Rodgers hasn't got a clue.

    3. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      he was injured

    4. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Because Rodgers has been too busy trying to find a supporting class that works with Mario, rather than fixing the real problem

      1. MJ6987
        11 years, 11 months ago

        This

  25. BeachBadger
