After Watford’s win over United at Vicarage Road earlier this afternoon, Fantasy managers are treated to a couple of 2.15 pm encounters in the busiest Sunday of the season so far.

Mid-price pair Christian Benteke and Wilfried Bony go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as Palace look to build on last week’s win at ‘Boro.

Wilfried Zaha has another opportunity to strengthen his claim as a cheap midfield option after last week’s goal and assist on Teesside, though Marko Arnautovic could also throw his hat in the ring as the Potters prepare for a fine upcoming run of matches.

Southampton continue to seek a first league win under Claude Puel, though will be buoyed by the midweek Europa League win over Sparta Prague.

Visitors Swansea have managed just a single point in the last three Gameweeks, though the manner of their comeback against Chelsea last Sunday will fill the Welsh outfit full of confidence.

A poor performance from either side may well persuade owners to look elsewhere given their respective upcoming fixtures. Saints face West Ham, Leicester, City and Chelsea in the next five, whilst the Swans go up against City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years

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

    Get us a gang of yellow cards boys: Redmond and Benteke

  12. Will's Faceless
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Not long til my favourite time of the day, four past stoke. Come on benteke!

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

    N.Taylor not even on the bench. Kingsley 4.1 SWA def. now nailed on?
    Wouldn't expect many CS from him but maybe a good cheap 5th def.?!

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      n taylor 'no fall out from last week' -i dont think so...

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        or play it save and get Amat instead?

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Im doing Hazard & Ibra out for Firmino/Mane & Aguero

    The question is which? Firmino or Mane? Really torn on this one

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino

    2. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino mainly because he is cheaper? They will score similar I think

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino. Mane will have the odd rest or early sub. Firmino is Klopp's favorite.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Think I agree

    4. Zikry
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Exact same situation. Not sure either.

    5. rohan
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Contemplating a double up personally

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Im tempted by that too

    6. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mane, but largely because I am stubborn and already owned Firmino for his blanks.

    7. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino

    8. AleksanderVN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino. Saves a tranfers down the line when Mane travels to ACON

  15. Declan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Cmon Bony

  16. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Let's go Benteke and Bony 😎

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2013 called, it wants it's strikers back.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        snap

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆

    oh dear
    that creepy face of pards

  18. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years

    Is Coutinho a real alternative to Mane and Firmino.

    I only have 8.2 and dont think Firmino will drop that much.

  19. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lateest WC draft. SInce clean sheet seem to be pure guesswork this year, I went for some different players. Thoughts?

    Heaton, Pickford
    Baines, Stones, Holebas, C Davis, Amat
    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio, Capoue
    Kun, Lukaku, Deeney
    0.3M ITB

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Almost the same as mine. I'd maybe go Coleman over baines to upgrade Davis to a 5.5

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Quite like C Davis when Hull's fixtures turn.

        1. Ridgewell's scores
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Fair enough, I looked at him to, just don't feel comfortable splashing 5.0 on Hull defender. Good team!

    2. gonzalocampos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good, the issue comes with lineup, which mid will you put on the bench?

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Missed the match, but saw he got a goal -- how was Rashford?

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      United were very poor overall. He was hungry, but not really sharp. Goal was a bit lucky, but well taken under pressure.

  21. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard + Cazorla > Sanchez + Firmino?

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Good moves.

  22. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Yay or Nay.

    Ozil--Snodgrass
    Hazard--Sanchez
    Ibra--Aguero
    Friend--Baines

  23. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Redmond playing as a winger or striker? Think he played on the wing last GW.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He might have drifted wide by Southampton aren't playing wingers .

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Plays as a 2nd striker

  24. M.M.A
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    keep valencia or what is the best 5.5 defender ?
    i have baines

  25. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Tekkers vs Bony is the game to watch?

  26. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Kingsley

    HOLD!!!

  27. PvA
    • 9 Years

    Just realised I have 0 players in the last Sunderland game

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lamela and Kone here. Best outcome is Lamela to miss out and Kone to score 🙂

    2. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      same here 🙁

    3. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      same have just Benteke today 🙁

    4. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kane(c) here... hoping he starts and braces at the least.

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Lamela assists on those would be lovely too

    5. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kone on the bench for me.

    6. Declan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kane (C) 😎

  28. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What would you prefer on WC?

    A. Sterling + 4m def

    or

    B. Bolasie + Premium def

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think this might be they year to go very cheap at the back

      currently on 5.0/5.0/4/5/4.0/4.0 in defence on WC

  29. Kun Cheese
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    On WC, any changes you would make?

    Foster Jaku
    Baines Shaw Amat Friend Pieters
    Sterling Sanchez Antonio Capoue Coquelin
    Aguero Lukaku Costa

    Cheers.
