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.

    If this is any indication of Everton's form, United are going to the FA Cup Final..

    5 of my original team managed to outscore my whole WC team.

    OR 13k to 33k and palace cleanie could slip me further

    Anyone as bad as that?

    1. Johan Queef
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Seriously impressive, well done! I haven't done the maths but similar situation over here.

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Looking like I'm gonna be in the Top 10k for the first time ever, so I'm pretty pleased.

    2. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Well done though.

  7. kennethrhcp

    sorry to annoy... will be looking at a 4 point hit & was wondering who ye think is better to lose between

    A: Mangala
    or
    B: Gabriel
    (both re game time)

    &
    1: Bolasie
    or
    2: Lennon

    1. Viper
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A & 1.

      Wouldn't be too worried about losing any of them

      1. kennethrhcp
        10 years, 6 months ago

        cheers, ya i'm not worried about losing any of the 4... it's more afraid of keeping 🙂

        Gab's surely will lose his spot to Mert... Mangala might sit out 5mins until Komp gets injured again.

        cheers for reply

    Now for Dortmund to knock Liverpool out tomorrow and hopefully stop the rotation for the double!

  9. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Delaney my top scorer who would of thought it

  10. mr messi
    10 years, 6 months ago

    So who should I get in for Lukaku? Anyone? Not a Pool player.

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Vary

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Vardy, even

        1. mr messi
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Considering him even though he doesn't have a double as he plays in 35

  11. Pirlø's Pen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    any chance Punch is going to get kicked off BAPS? Was a 0-0 after all....

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Should drop out of them completely.

  12. Paul Psychic Octopus
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I'm not complaining about 35 points from Robles, Souare and Delaney, but that these nobodies scored half my team's points sums this DGW up

  13. Nomar
    10 years, 6 months ago

    This is exactly like that infamous Birmingham City DGW a few seasons back when everyone looked at the fixtures and immediately jumped on Zigic, put the armband on him and got Ben Foster in goal.

    Zigic blanked both games, Birminham conceed both timesif I recall and it was Newcastle (Elliot I think was the GK) who kept 2 cleanies that GW after everyone had avoided Newcastle defenders.

    Ah, you gotta love the Fantasy Football Gods sense of humour!

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I had Simpson. Good times.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 6 months ago

    Decent player is Puncheon. Had him many times in my fpl team over the years.

    Decent little player. Good technique and composure.

    A lot better than headless chicken Bolasie.

    Anyone fancy a Sanchez triple (c) in Gwk38 against villa?

    1. fickle
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I might do yes

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That's my plan atm.

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I got called misguided for suggesting that a couple of weeks ago......

  26. HurriKane
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Great performance by Fosu Mensah again. Cant see Darmian getting in the team anytime soon

    Very nice enabler for dgw34 (AVL CPL) imo.

    1. Viper
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Plus Rojo went off and Fosu Mensah went to left back.

      You could argue he's ahead of both Rojo & Darmian

  27. 1966 was a great year for E…
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Crap DGW, total (c) fail, and I've still somehow got 71.

    Anything less than 150 next week will be a letdown.
