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.

    Thoughts on this front 8? Strong enough?

    Sanchez - Firmino - Bolasie - Snoddy - Capoue

    Ibra - Kun - Tekkers

    1. merin
      • 10 Years

      I'm thinking about shipping out Ibra

    2. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same front 8 as me but with Antonio in for Bolasie.

      I like it, but most here won't. 😉

    Thoughts on this WC-team?

    Foster Jakupovic
    Valencia Baines McAuley Friend Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Sterling Antonio Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Rondon

    ITB: 0.1

      I like Shaw better than Valencia and Coleman seems more lively than Baines. I had Rondon for several weeks and got nothing.....maybe trade down baines and trade up from Rondon to Watford coverage.

    Just saw the Southampton highlights. How on earth did not Redmond score >:(

      Yoda! Is that you?

      1. Royal5

        WC played, it must be.

      2. devils advocate
        • 11 Years

        Lol.

        Funny joke you make.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      I don't want to talk about it

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Tried to mimick Ighalo and Cavani vs ARS

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Because he's a troll.

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

    Is it normal to make transfers during games?

    Doesn't make sense to me

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

      Unless WC

  8. VS10_
    • 10 Years

    Tomkins off
    Delaney on

  9. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lamenting my last (c) tinkling from KdB to Zlatan.. maybe thats why FPL gave the assist to Zlatan.. pity to me..

  10. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years

    Costa Ibra , Hazard TO Lukaku Aguero Firmino

    Yay or Nay ?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Can you do Hazard and Costa to Aguero and Firmino?

  11. jmcclory123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Rashford for Ibra to free up funds for Aguero

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No way near nailed.

    2. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Seriously considering it. Otherwise Costa for Ibra to get Kun - Kaku - Costa up front but will have less for midfield. Do we think Rashford is a certain starter now?

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

    If Saints keep a CS, Redmond will get me his highest points return since GW1. 3 points...#redmond-haul

  13. Think
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Haven't posted here for while, happy with overall performance of my team.Now kun back so what u think of this plan.
    Valencia+Januzaj+Ibra out to
    Kun +Capoue+Holebas

  14. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this front 8? on my WC.

    Sanchez, De Bruyne, Firmino, Chadli, Capoue
    Aguero, Benteke, Rashford

    1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good EWH but not sure about De bruyne. His returns would certainly decline when Kun is back and it's all about him again. I'd say Sterling is a cheaper way in as a Kun assistant + a few goals every now and then

  15. SamH123
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    probably been discussed but I went back 3 pages and didn't see it mentioned, is Ibra keeping that assist? I thought the word was no assist for him

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It shouldn't be an assist but it looks like it's standing

      1. SamH123
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        that would be annoying for me...

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That kind of play has always been an assist in FPL. I don't understand why so many are struggling with this.

  16. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How does this WC team look?

    Mandanda Jako

    Baines Shaw Holebas McAuley Amat

    Sanchez Firmino Chadli Capoue Snodgrass

    Costa Aguero Lukaku

    Anything obvious i'm missing? MIdfield a bit light?

    1. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not sold on the keepers personally, rest looks fine.

  17. Trae44

    1. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years

      Literally gutted.

        1. Krul Runnings
          • 10 Years

          Yep! Still doing ok this season too!

          1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    2. Viper

      I know, awful!

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Just know he'll start scoring as soon as we all ditch on WC

    4. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Got a link?

  18. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Aguero, KDB and Sterling too much City?

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      For Spurs away, yes. Maybe for Everton home too, they have looked good so far.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. 1 of Sterling or De Bruyne!

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No ATT coverage for City is too much 🙂
      They'll score loads this year

    4. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, even city can do 0-0

    5. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Only one of those is pretty much guaranteed points.

      I'm sure you know which one it is.

  19. Ibracadebruyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard + Vardy > Lallana + Kun

    or...

    Hazard + Vardy > Firmino + Kun (-4)

  20. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Kingsley taken off

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Injury I presume?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dodgy stomach

      2. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Or just rubbish?

  21. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Cech, Baines, Walker, McAuley & Snodgrass

    or

    Heaton, Williams, Robertson, Francis & Sterling

    ?

    1. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The first option.

  22. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Triple Watford for their next 5?

    Deeney Pereyre Capoue.

    1. DMil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on triple with Holebas Capoue and Deeney.. Seems excessive though

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Form, confidence high, and fixtures good. Why not?

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Not bad since you can always bench Holebas and Capoue if it turns bad and only need to transfer out Deeney which isn't difficult with the likes of Benteke, Rashford, Gray, Defoe and others in that price range.

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Have left all 44 Capoue points on my bench this year, have owned since GW1. Will likely start him next week for his 2-pointer.

        On a WC and considering Deeney but Rashford is also whispering my name.

    2. England's Number 1
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Gomes, Capoue and Deeney for me. Holebas on free kicks too.

  23. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Have anyone sent email for reviewing Zlatan assist yet? It's a joke assist 🙄

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lol!!!

      Good one. 😉

  24. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke (C), not great so far. Slightly annoying because the only other candidate was Lukaku, didn't even want to give Ibra a look in.

  25. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    WC active.
    Any chance that KDB will rise 0.3 before next GW? He has already gone up 0.1 (and I missed it) so I was wondering if it's worth doing Haz -> KDB?
    If Haz goes down to 10.1 I will lose 0.1 on his sell value, so it would be a nice value gain to do the transfer if KDB actually goes up 0.3 until next GW.

  26. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anticipated time until a jammy Fer goal?

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      68

  27. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any defender (other than Amat) who is 4.3 or lower and is worthy of sitting on your FPL bench?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kingsley

  28. chilli con kone
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Draft fantasy football haven't added Townsend's assist yet.

    Surely he will get it right?

  29. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Not watching the games today, how is Benteke doing?

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

    Offside goal

    Redmond squares to Long who scores
