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.

    How many yellow cards does a player need to get a ban?

    Deeney on 3 so far, if its 5 for a ban it would put me off getting him in.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's only 6.9 does not make a difference for me

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

      5

  5. Puntillimon

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years

        Brilliant locomotion

  6. Big Red Dog
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC:

    A) Kingsley(5th def) Sanchez Barry(5th mid) Deeney

    or

    B) Evans Walcott Snodgrass (4th mid Capoo 5th) Benteke

    Leaning towards A

    1. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku not Benteke sorry

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

    Kingsley 1p. Would suck if Swansea keeps a CS...

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

      WTF

  8. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Redmond looks like points imminent

  9. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Have Opta given Ibra and Townsend the assist? Sky game isnt howing either

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

    Dann almost a 2nd from a corner.

  11. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Dann shot off the line

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

    Dann looks lethal. How much is he? (Yes, I'm lazy)

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      5.5 ish not sure exactly

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

      5.5

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

      5.5, unless he rose at some point. Thereabouts, anyway.

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

    Soton can score now.. Kingsley already benched :,(

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

      Injury or tactical?

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

        Tactical imo

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        BBC says stomach bug

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

          Did he just catch it during HT?

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Ha, no idea.

        Was having a stinker, Taylor to start next week ?

  14. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Great stuff from Delaney

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Only a matter of time before Dann gets another 😀

  16. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Might bring Dann in for Valencia. He's a beast.

  17. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is doubling up on Deeney + Capoue a bad idea?

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

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

      No.. not with these fixtures

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

        Thanks, Ibra to Deeney, let's me have Kun, Sanchez, Mane and Kaku.

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

    Long subbed off

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

      Southampton need Pelle back. Or at least some kind of striker. Long and Redmond ain't working out to greatness, and it never was going to.

  19. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Somehow Benteke doesn't score!

  20. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hello to all the new faces on here today

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

    Townsend is playing very well.

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

    Puel likes Redmond, let's see if his patience pays off

  23. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who's looking likeliest to double rise this week?

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

      Kun

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

        No way. He will be price protected in a few days.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Capoue or Antonio

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

      Sterling

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      KDB/Capoue

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

        Are you already counting their rises they had this GW, or do you think they will rise 0.3 in total this week?

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

      Capoue (already rose 0.1)
      Sterling (will rise tonight)
      KDB (already rose 0.1)
      Antonio (will rise tonight)
      Lukaku maybe

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

        Cap/KDB.

        My problem is I will have to miss on either Snodgrass price increase or KDB double rise. I bought KDB on WC before his rise but also bought Mane (just for the rise) who I am switching to Sterling now (for his rise tonight, plus want him long term), so I have KDB/Sterling/Antonio/Capoue/Sanchez in my team. The last 4 of which will stay. KDB will move to Snodgrass or Firming depending on what I do up front...

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

          Wow, that's a headache.
          Mane will not rise twice, so switching him to Sterling is a wise move.
          KDB will rise twice, maybe even 0.3 in total (since there's a fire sale on Hazard). If you manage to get a double rise on KDB before Snodgrass rises, then you're good. 🙂 The third rise on KDB (if that even happens) will not affect you.

    6. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      i think these are most likely:

      KDB, Capoue, Antonio, Lukaku, Sterling

      Cheers guys! Time to bring in the TV

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

        It's not about the TV on the wildcard, it's all about the SELL value. 😉
        A.k.a. bring in a player that will rise twice, then sell him before the deadline to gain a 0.1 in sell value. 🙂

    How does this WC look? Anything obvious i'm missing?

    Mandanda Jako

    Baines Shaw McAuley Holebas Kone

    Sanchez Firmino Sterling Snodgrass Capoue

    Benteke Aguero Lukaku

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

      Jak over Pickford? Marshall lurking in the background...

      Have not watched Palace so not sure Re Benteke vs Deeney, but that could upgrade Firmino to Mane or Lukaku to Costa or leave money in the bank if it was of interest...

  25. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years

    Clasie & Long off
