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.

    So average yesterday was 52,4 for top10k
    Today is 19,4
    How is it now total 64,2?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Autosubs.

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        ?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It's wrong unless autosubs are in soon.

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, but they shouldnt be in yet

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      "Note 2: Autosubs not included here"

      Maybe the real top 10k average is 71.6?

    4. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Does the top 10k not change as teams with more points tonight go into it and others drop out?

    5. Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      silly coding on my part
      the 'today' number is wrong as it shows gameweek totals for players who played today and since it's a double gameweek it included total gameweek points of Crystal Palace and Everton players and not just their today points
      will make changes for next gameweek

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks that explains it. By the way, great site.

      2. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks SP. So, the 64.2 average is right though?

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Sorry, ignore - just saw the updated 66!

  2. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Bolasie and Gabriel -> Iwobi and Cresswell seem reasonable?

      Last 4 of frequent posters cup and 1 up in doubles semi, turned out to be a good gameweek for me.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Disappointing for me . I was 3 points off the 100k mark on Saturday then I was 23 points off on Sunday ðŸ™

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Sure you will bounce back mate. Hope we both manage to get promoted 🙂

  4. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Aight lads, how do we rate these moves?

    Darmian, Lennon > TFM, Firmino

    Would give me double United defence and I currently don't own a LIV mid

  5. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    time for me to get rid of Darmian?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      100%

    2. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I just did for Fosu-Immensah

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No one knows, could easily play

    4. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm thinking same. But who for ?

    5. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      definitely should have just got Smalling...

    6. dub75670
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      will be going for fosu. brings in a little cash too!

  6. wbm
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    This WC wasn't very successful for me.
    The players I transferred out got 63 points and the ones I transferred in got 41.
    Total drop of 17 points when counting the players I would have played.

    1. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That's tame. I don't want to calculate what I've lost, I might start self harming

  7. Federico
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    About 50 points behind in my ML, with 2 DGW34 players less. I have WC and BB lett and my rival has not.

    Both will TC this week. He is sure i'll cap Sanchez, and want to copy me.

    Would you TC Sanchez or Martial in my place? I'm not even sure he'll own the latter.

    1. NobleBlackman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Be daring and go with Martial. His home form is pretty on point

  8. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Went to 8k on Sunday, now back to 4k, so maybe this week isn't as bad as I thought, the casuals maybe didn't have Robles and Delaney 🙂

  12. FudgyBadger

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Guess I'm the only person who didn't have a Palace or Everton defender ðŸ™

    1. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I didn't! Had Robles and Delaney in draft WC as well. Never mind. Onwards and upwards

  13. XABI 15
    • 10 Years

    Rashford owner here. How confident should I feel about his minutes this next double gameweek?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Very

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think he start the next game without question, but who knows what LvG thinks...

    3. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Should be nailed now, although Rooney still a threat. I thought he was fantastic tonight.

    4. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      encouraging answers, Villa at home could be big!

    5. Sid07
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney coming back is an issue but unless lvg applies his philosophy....
      I expect Rooney to play behind rashford...

  14. Theatre_Of_Screams

    (A) Barkley

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams

      lol

      (A) Barkley to Firmino/Milner

      (B) Barkley to Iwobi
      Gabriel to Fosu-Mensah -4

      1. istanbul05

        A

  15. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Really happy with that result despite captaining Luk-had Robles/Coleman and Delaney....

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Similar here. Lukaku TC has made this GW very bittersweet though.

  16. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Playing bench boost. Two Arsenal defenders for -4. To be or not to be?

  17. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Well done, United. I can't hide that I am disappointed.

    Anyway, we have had a wonderful Season. 🙂

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It was a great game in the second half. You played well in the last 15 mins.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        We played well, in patches, throughout. Despite the amazingly crappy commentary. Never got the breaks, though. 🙂

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I think United were overall the better side in the end, thrilling game, sad it's the last fa cup game there.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            OK.

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You have...and will have a better season next year in a nice new stadium built for Olympic champions 🙂

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers, Jafalad! 😀

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      Brilliant performance from us 🙂

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        If you say so. 🙂

      2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Brilliant? More like average. Rashford was the only one who created anything

    4. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You were unlucky tonight, Doos. Thought you'd done it when Kouyate stuck it in, right call from the lino though.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        True. 🙂

    5. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thank you Doos good sport and yes plenty to be proud of with how the season has went and the future looks fantastic for the hammers 🙂

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, it does. 🙂

    6. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Would have been great to see your team win a trophy though. I just felt tonight tactics were altered to accommodate Carroll rather than trying to play the brand of football that has been so good to watch all season. I hope West Ham continue on an upward curve next season , they have been first class .

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        No, that is not any longer true. As I said above, we did not get the breaks. We nearly made our own luck, but tonight it wasn't quite enough. 🙂

    7. Sid07
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think u could have levelled it if it was not de gea

  18. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    FFFix predicting a red arrow for me even with 69 points. Ranked at 65k!

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I got a red with 68 points, ranked at 140k

      doesn't make sense because the 10k average is 66

  19. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    *Sigh*

    Think I'm gonna keep Trollkaku, his ownership compared to Martial etc. is pretty ridiculous.

  20. v12w12
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What would you do with Mangala?

    A: ship for Rojo
    B: West Ham defender (can't afford cress well)
    C: keep

    1. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why get rid off mangala? :s

      1. v12w12
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ahh...is he a stonewaller then? Nice 1

  21. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    DDG, Robles,
    Bellerin, Gabriel, Sakho, Delaney, Simpson,
    Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Barkley, Mahrez,
    Kun, Lukaku, Mitrovic.

    £0.7m ITB

    I've left it a couple of days but I'm still tempted by Gabriel, Delaney, Barkley to Smalling, Moreno and Iwobi (-8)..

    Thoughts?

  22. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What to do with Darmian?

    I'm thinking:

    gw34: Darmian > Fosu Mensah
    gw35: Lukaku, Delaney > Vardy, Toby/Azpi (-4)

  23. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lukaku > Martial or Rashford?

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Raaashfooord ( p.s I own him)

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        What about Rooney coming back? Won't he lose his place?

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      For free? I'd go Rashford.

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yes for free 🙂

    3. jurgenklopp.8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Martial

    4. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd keep him

  24. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    DGW Benchboost team from my WC last week.
    Shall I just stick to the plan or change things?
    Wanted 2FTs to cover the blanks in GW35

    Robles Cech
    Clichy Delaney Simpson Bellerin Sakho
    Lennon Sanchez Payet Cout Mahrez
    Kun Luk Martial

    Thoughts?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe TC if you have it?

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, TC on Sanchez is really tempting now!

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Continue with your original plan.

    3. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Get rid of Lennon, I know I am

  25. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I am happy enough I will only have lost 6 points after the wildcard compared to the pre wildcard team. I will take that.

  26. djpete
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    In retrospect, I would have done it all differently, but it's too late for that now, and it worked out okay, so I'm going all in.

  27. Colonel Shoe è‚æ± 
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    starting to think lanzini over payet ðŸ™

  28. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I know these pages are flying so dont expect too much of a response

    Gomes,
    Huth,Gabriel,Bellerin,
    Coutinho,Siggy,Mahrez,Wijnaldum
    Lukaku, Aguero, Kane

    Bench:Hennessy,Ali,Daniels & Van Aanholt

    No WC,BB or AOA, 1FT 0.9 left in the bank

    Who goes out the squad? cheers

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      i love that squad bro

      Just take out Daniels for Rojo...I am waiting till Liv out of Europa to make further decision

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You need Arsenal mid

  29. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So i was thinking victory after Robles power show...but guess what...he has max ownership in top 10k of 22%!
    Top 10k almost impossible this season ðŸ™

  30. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Honestly think getting 200+ should be possible this coming gwk
