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.

    Id love if sturridge was fit and nailed on. TC x 4 goals would be sweet.

    10 years, 3 months ago

    A. Bolasie & Darmian -> Milner & Fosu Mensah -4.

    B. Bolasie & Mitrovic - > Milner & Rashford -4.

    C. Bolasie & Darmian - Lanzini & Smalling -4..

    Anyone point me in the right direction? I don't trust myself after that WC....

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      C but I wouldn't trust me either 😛

    2. Sid07
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      C

  3. Zebrahimović
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Gabriel out but what DGW-er can I realistically get for 4.3?

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

      Fosu Mensah

      1. Zebrahimović
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        3 games in a week, I already have Smalling and causes a few problems for GW35. Could be a cheeky punt considering Man U's fixtures.

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

          Oh already have Smalling? Probably Delaney, although I'd just stick with Gabriel.

          1. Zebrahimović
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Already have Dann, so it'd have to be someone with a GW35 fixture..basically leaves me with no choice but to keep him doesn't it.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Did Wenger say something ?

      1. Zebrahimović
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Na but I recon he'll only play one of the games.

  4. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Was at 60k OR before today and 29 points today. Will I get up to around 40k?

  5. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone at 7.2 worth bringing in for Barkley this week?
    Or take a -4 for Barkley and Lukaku > Yaya and Martial?

  6. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    ROBLES ONE LOVE

  7. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who scores more in GW34:

    Lukaku or Vardy?

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

      Lukaku probably.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        You joking? I'll take hits to get rid of Lukaku

    2. NobleBlackman
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy, cos Lukaku is an abominable disappointment and Everton stinks

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      lukaku looks like he's not even bothered anymore, he wants out anyway

      vardy probably

    4. Will's Faceless
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Andy carrot

  8. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Have West Hams mids such as Lanzini now become more attractive as they no longer play the gameweek 35 weekend (potentially played the semi), as they probably wont be rotated?

    Watford also play in the FA cup semis 3 days later so it should be a comfortbale win.

  9. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I'm bringing Studge in after tomorrows game

    1. 1zverGGademN
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Divock Origi is much better option imo..

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        no he isn't, Studge is 1st choice. Origi starting has been tactical and won't be surprised if both start tomorrow

        Studge starts all league games

        1. 1zverGGademN
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Between Firmino and Studge who will score more points till the end?

          1. The Raging Bull
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Studge

          2. Studgie G
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Studge I think If he doesn't get injured, looks fit so don't want to jinx him

            Firmino slow starter after getting injured either way Studge can become kane in straight swap which helps

  10. JJO
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Just look at those baps

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      What are they?!

  11. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    is Fosu-Mensah just a rotation risk the same as Darmian?

    Is it worth the swap (Darmian -> TFM) for free?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I this fosu mensah is more nailed. Great couple of performances that cannot be ignored.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I asked several times before this game week whether TFM was a good punt and barely got a reply

  12. okan58
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    De Gea
    Bellerin - Alderweireld - Fuchs
    Mahrez - Alli - Payet - De Bruyne
    Lukaku - Kane - Aguero
    Subs: Mignolet, Iwobi, Moreno and Cresswell.

    Should I use my bench boost?

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Hinges a lot on the Liverpool defence....

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

    3. GalacticosFC
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, without a doubt!

  13. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Fml, on a ex and my highest scoring player is Ward. I know nothing.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Wc, not ex

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Amazing how many end up on an ex 😉

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

    Clichy to FM?

  15. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I just noticed that if I do Darmian & Bolasie -> Fosu Mensah & Milner, it leaves exact cash for Lukaku -> Kane in gwk 35.

    Good move?

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Very nice

    2. fiveyears

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Kane will go up

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I think he'll go down before this week's deadline, personally.

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

      How many players can you play in 35 though?

  16. boosted83
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Need rid of Lukaku and Lennon, can't believe i brought them in!

    1. seanie3
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      you and me both...blinded by their 2 x DGW but they've been crud for the last 10 - 15 games

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Bolasie to ditch first!

  17. seanie3
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    United looked a different team tonight, impressed with Rashford, Martial and Lingard, their link up play looked very good.

    who goes for rooney though?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Fellaini or Herrera

      1. seanie3
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        you think rooney will play centre midfield?

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      as a Rashdord owner, I hope Rooney stays on bench or replaces Lingard in the 10 role

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Me too. It's a gamlbe, but I think I'm willing to take it.

    3. Sid07
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Lingard wide
      Rooney in place of mata

  18. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone who originally had planned BB this GW now looking at TC instead?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No. Unless TC scores extremely well good bench should outscore

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

      yes, tempting

    3. seanie3
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      nope as I brought in a lot of DGW players just to play the BB

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, with Jags, two Palace defenders and Bolasie, I'm switching to TC and will use transfers between now and 37 to upgrade my squad.

  19. Ten Season Wonder

    Good evening everyone.
    1 FT this week and was planning to play BB, but these players are all concerns for me over the dgw.
    Would love some opinions on who you would prioritise selling? Thanks

    Gabriel Delaney Sakho
    Coutinho Lennon
    Mitrovic Lukaku

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

    BB or TC with this team? A lot of uncertainty with some of the players, BB the original plan, but all a bit uncertain at the mo.

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

    1. Relaxing
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I have a similar predicament above, considering TC rather than bench boost atm

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez or Martial TC

  26. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Cech
    Fuchs Alderweireld Dawson
    Lingard Silva Firmino Mahrez Özil
    Agüero Lukaku
    Subs: Hennessey Kane Jagielka Targett

    A, Aldy to Bellerin (and play Silva in 34)
    Or
    B, Jags + Silva to Payet + Bellerin -4. (play Payet in 34 and ALdy in 35)

    3. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Not surprised they struggle against Atletico always and it was even harder while being out of form.

      Barca need to get away from that makeshift defence they have had for a while. they could have won alot more if they had a proper defence which sounds unbelievable when you say it like that.

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        You are right, the defence needs to be completely changed.

  28. Ed
