A Selhurst Park head-to-head between Palace and Everton brings the curtain down on what has been a bitterly disappointing Gameweek for many Fantasy managers.

Having clinched a crucial home win over Norwich on Saturday, the Eagles boast better attacking form that the Merseysiders prior to this evening’s kick-off.

Over their respective last four matches, Alan Pardew’s men lead Everton for attempts on goal (52 to 42), efforts inside the box (36 to 27) and goals, by four to three. The Toffees have been a little more accurate, however, edging their hosts by 18 shots on target to 17.

Neither side has convinced at the back, though, which potentially bodes well for those who loaded up on their main attackers. Palace have afforded the opposition eight big chances in their last four – only two sides have poorer records – whilst Everton are not far behind on seven big chances against.

Fingers crossed, then, that we something to cheer about as we fine-tune our plans before double Gameweek 34 comes around.

    Who to Triple Captain this week:

    A. Ozil
    B. Aguero

    First to 5.... Thanks

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Aguero

    2. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Aguero begrudgingly

    3. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Ozil

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 26 days ago

      Ozil probably gets more minutes.

    5. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      ozil

    6. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      From those two Özil .

      I have both but my fear is Özil has lost interest and Kun could be rested for 1 of the games.

    7. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Kun

  2. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Best replacement for lukaku? Sturridge, wellbeck or anyone else? Have kun and martial.

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sturridge if you already have Martial. Wouldn't be averse to Kane despite a SGW.

    2. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      definitely not welbeck, sturridge is a punt because of game time. I'd keep.

    3. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Pelle gameweek 35 plays Villa

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        That was the idea before lukaku stopped playing like he should. Maybe should just stick to that plan.

    4. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sturridge

  3. vardys party
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Delaney to Mangala?

    Want to get rid of Delaney and City seem a good way to go. Can only afford Mangala or Clichy though

    1. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Definitely not, Kompany return is on the cards.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Wouldn't trust Kompany to stay fit.

        1. Hanked
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Big gamble though. I'm considering keeping but certainly wouldn't get him in now

  4. Hanked
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Mangala is giving me a headache. I reckon he will play against Chelsea and Kompany will get a runout against Newcastle in prep for the champs league semi.

    Any ideas?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      i think mangala will play both

      1. Hanked
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Kompany go straight in to the CL semi?

  5. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Triple (c) Lukaku man if I did that I would just quit, look at the troll get a massive score in gwk 37 now

    You just knew it was going to happen

    commiserations to anyone who did it...

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Me 🙁 will probably keep anyway, begrudgingly.

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        hard luck man

  6. FAITHNOMORENO
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    lennon / bolasie -> nasri / milner ?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Nice move

      1. FAITHNOMORENO
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        even for -4 ? 🙂

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Yes. You're getting GW35 players for two blankers

    2. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      get rid of those 2 useless pieces of

      1. FAITHNOMORENO
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        those are my thoughts precisely atm

  7. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Which one goes for Fosu-Mensah:

    a) Dann
    b) Clichy

    Cheers 🙂

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Dann. Pretty awful fixtures.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Yep, good call

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Dann. I am going to do that exact transfer. Do you reckon hes worth it over Smalling?

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Smalling is way too expensive

    3. Cov
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Or maybe Clichy since Kolarov probably will play?

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Well my thoughts are that Clichy will play at least one of the games in 34 so not worth using a FT to get rid of him. He's also first choice ahead of Kolarov anyway

    4. Hanked
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Confident he will play both fixtures? I think he might, he has looked really good.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Hoping so

    5. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Cheers guys

  8. Ed
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Bit early I know, but with this lot...

    Darlow Robles
    Bellerin Delaney Smalling Sakho Gabriel
    Sanchez Payet Firmino Coutinho Lennon
    Mitro Lukaku Aguero

    I have the exact money for Lennon + Delaney > Nasri + Fosu-Mensah (-4)
    Good move?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Yes

  9. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Clichy's game time over the DGW predictions?

    1. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      this is what I want to know aswell

    2. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      f knows. you'd think at least 90 mins, but that doesn't help much. can't see him playing 180 though..

  10. naits
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Jags to:

    A: Moreno
    B: Lovren
    C: Fosu-Mensah
    D: Reid

    de Gea Robles
    Sakho Bellerin Delaney Gabriel 5.1??

    1. FAITHNOMORENO

      CA,no,no

  11. Bazzalona
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    if you had enough money in the bank for anyone who would peoples' ideal 3 forwards be?

    1. Psakhotherapy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      kun, studge, martial

      1. Hanked
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        that's affordable

      2. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Yep can do that. Wildcarding this week so pretty much getting a whole new team.

  12. New Post
  13. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Start 2 from

  14. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Bolasie, Barkley, Lukaku to Milner, Nasri, Sturridge for two hits?

    1. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Put your knee back into joint, relax and sleep on it. No way is it worth one hit, never mind two!

  15. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Will Barkley drop tonight

  16. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Which choice do you all prefer? (no BB chip)...

    1). Gabriel, Reid & *Mahrez* (2 DGW) -4 hit

    2). Ward, Fosu-Mensah & Ozil (3 DGW) -8 hit
    .
    .
    .

    rest of team:

    Henn
    Bellerin
    Firmino, Alexis, Payet
    Kun, Lukaku, Kane

  17. che
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    TFM played 67 mins on Sunday then 90 tonight
    Rojo played 90 mins on Sunday then 67 tonight
    So they both probably gonna get the same in DGW34.
    That extra 1.1mill will come in handy upgrading Bolasie in GW35

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      If TFM plays +60 and CS 6pts. I'm taking his galore this week and he's coming in. Free points

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 26 days ago

        *hits

  18. JJJ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Lukaku looks like he does not care.

    willing to take a hit and get him out but who to bring in? I have Aguero and Mitro up front already

    A- Sturridge

    B- Martial

    C- ?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Rooney?

  19. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    What about sakho and coutinho, should they get some game time?

  20. Hits Magnet
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Any advice on this WC team ..... baring in mind I'll BB in GW37

    Migs/Ruddy
    Fuchs/Bellerin/Otamend/Rojo/Foso Mensah
    Sanchez/Iwobi/Firmino/De Bruyne/Lanzini
    Rashford/Aguero/Sturridge

    I plan on leaving De Bruyne on the bench this week because I don't see him playing the weekend but he's vital for the rest of the season

    I have 3.5m in the bank to go Rashford--> Pelle GW 35

    All diagnosis welcome

  21. Gubbins94.
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone tempted by Andros Townsend? Swansea and a weakened City team, was apparently very good at the weekend.

  22. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Current team:

    Robles, Darlow
    Jagielka (!), Delaney, Souare, Gabriel, S Taylor (!)
    Bolasie, Payet, De Bruyne, Lingard, Sanchez
    Sturridge, Lukaku, Aguero

    Jagielka------Lovren
    S Taylor-----Fosu-Mensah
    Bolasie------Iwobi
    Souare------Cresswell -12

    Or

    Bolasie-----Nasri/Townsend
    Jagielka---Lovren -4

    And risk S Taylor playing twice and double Crystal Palace defence.....
