Owing to Sunday’s bumper schedule, there are just four mid-afternoon kick-offs for the Fantasy football community to keep tabs on today.

At Selhurst Park, a Crystal Palace outfit that’s winless in 12 matches attempts to disrupt Leicester City’s march to the Premier League crown. Although the Eagles notched six goals and the sixth-most shots inside the box (37) in their last four matches, their attacking efforts were undermined by the fact they shipped nine goals and the second-most big chances (10). The Foxes were far from spectacular in the final third, bagging five goals while ranking in the bottom half for shots on target (14). Their defence came up trumps, however, conceding the fewest goals (two) and joint-fifth-fewest big chances (four).

Elsewhere in the capital, Chelsea entertain West Ham United at Stamford Bridge. Only Liverpool chalked up more goals (13) than the Blues across their previous quartet of ties, illustrating the form of their forward line. Given that only three teams have surrendered more goals at home (22) than Gus Hiddink’s troops, the Hammers – who chart fifth for goals in road clashes (23) – will fancy their chances of breaching the hosts’ defence.

Buoyed by their FA Cup triumph over Arsenal, Watford endeavour to card their first win in four outings when Stoke City pay a visit. The Hornets placed second-bottom for goals (two) and shot-conversion rate (4.2%) over their last four fixtures, bolstering the Potters’ clean-sheet prospects. On that same note, Mark Hughes’ men allowed fewer big chances (two) than the rest of the field, which points towards a low-scoring affair at Vicarage Road.

West Bromwich Albion could extend their unbeaten streak to five matches if they can break Norwich City’s resistance at The Hawthorns. Despite ranking in the bottom three over their last four outings for attempts (36), the Baggies profited from the second-best shot-conversion rate (19.4%). As for the Canaries, they tallied the fewest goals (one) but showcased decent resolve at the back, conceding just four goals and the joint-second-fewest big chances (three).

        17.9% Bellerin

          That Bellerin figure stings. Need to stop benching him.

      That's six of one and half a dozen of another.

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Oh my God this referee is so terrible whenever I see him (Chelsea vs West Ham game)

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years

      Which ref is it?

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Robert Madley

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Ah, not surprised. 😛

          I was expecting Martin Atkinson, Anthony Taylor or him.

      1. Gatsby

    I want CPL to score and Fuchs lose his bps!

    But I want Leicester to win!!!

    Please...

    1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I want Huth, Vardy and Mahrez goals to take Fuchs baps away tbh

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      .I..

    3. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No there's no need for that sort of talk!! 😛

  4. Jøssy ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    If Fuchs keeps his 3 BPS, that will soften the Bellerin blow!

    At the moment:

    Fuchs 3
    Mahrez 2
    Vardy 1

    i do love my Leicester players. How can I sell them on WC!??

    1. JayLegend
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rival has bellerin =( Fuchs we need you!

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I have him too! Only he's on my bench 🙁

        I benched him for Fuchs.

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you? I would have a Leicester player for one game over an Arsenal/Chelsea/Man United player in a DGW anyway, as in Leicester rotation is not a concern and they are simply the best in the league atm.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Don't think I am anymore. This was always my fear in trying to do a full 15 DGWers, and now I'm convinced that's a mistake.

        May keep Fuchs, Mahrez and Kane

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Mahrez + Fuchs?

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I think I'm going to. 15 DGWers is going out of the window.

        Maybe keeping Kane too.

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          same here - 10-11 DGWers and decent SGWers, seems daft to throw the baby out with the bathwater

          1. Jøssy ⭐
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed. My team has been scoring consistently for a couple of months, and I was considering selling most of them. Madness!!!

    3. GinjaWhinja
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Should have been booked 🙁

  5. markmcr

    One for palace and another for Mahrez please:):)

  17. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Schemichel is the 3rd best GK in the league after DDG and Cech.

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hart and Lloris

      1. Acquafresca

    2. Mull

    4. Zizoulicious
