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.

    The Barca ref wants to play on till 10 ' clock

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 hour ago

      Well he could have just given the penalty and be done with it

  2. Bubz

    Shocked the ref wasn't on the Barca payroll

    Can't believe how lucky us Palace defence owners are. Who would have seen a double clean sheet

      I can't believe it. So disappointed I didn't get at least one of them at the back 🙁

      You make your own luck by buying a ticket pal.

      I have double Palace (Dann & Hennessey) had them both since January, just not found a reason / free transfer to remove them especially with Dann's goal threat.

      I wouldn't have bought them in or kept them if I did GW33 wildcard due to horrible GW34 fixtures but as a GW36 wild carder, it was a no brainier to play them really, roll the dice.

      Yes there is luck involved as there is in anything but I think it was a calculated decision.

      I suspect there are quite a few non wildcarders with double Palace defence.

    Would you get Rojo or Dawson for Jags?

    Dawson nailed on for three games, Rojo easier matches but just two (if even that).

    1. Buck The Trent

      Rojo

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 55 mins ago

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 56 mins ago

    Watching Robles hold out for a clean sheet is worse than watching Athleti keep Barca out for 90 mins
