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.

  3. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

        Same here. My first sub is Pieters who is benched but think Watmore will play for Sunderland.

    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, 1 month ago

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

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      5

  5. Puntillimon

    Bony doing anything?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking he wished he'd stayed at City.

      1. PvA
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Brilliant locomotion

  6. Big Red Dog
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku not Benteke sorry

  7. FPL Puppy
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      WTF

  8. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond looks like points imminent

  9. Would an idiot do that?
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. VS10_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Dann almost a 2nd from a corner.

  11. Eden Azzzar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Dann shot off the line

  12. FPL Puppy
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      5.5 ish not sure exactly

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      5.5

    3. The Enlightener
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. El-Kloppico
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Injury or tactical?

      1. El-Kloppico
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Tactical imo

      2. Pierce34
        10 years, 1 month ago

        BBC says stomach bug

        1. El-Kloppico
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Did he just catch it during HT?

          1. Pierce34
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Ha, no idea.

      3. Hotdogs for Tea
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Was having a stinker, Taylor to start next week ?

  14. Eden Azzzar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Great stuff from Delaney

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Only a matter of time before Dann gets another 😀

  16. Lizard Lips
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  17. thunder_mike
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is doubling up on Deeney + Capoue a bad idea?

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.. not with these fixtures

      1. thunder_mike
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  18. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Long subbed off

    1. The Enlightener
      10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Somehow Benteke doesn't score!

  20. Eden Azzzar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hello to all the new faces on here today

  21. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Townsend is playing very well.

  22. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  23. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who's looking likeliest to double rise this week?

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

      1. FPL Puppy
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Capoue or Antonio

    3. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    4. Grand Thibauto
      10 years, 1 month ago

      KDB/Capoue

      1. FPL Puppy
        10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

      1. Ibracadabra
        10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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. 🙂

  24. Viper
    10 years, 1 month ago

    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
      10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Clasie & Long off
    Austin & Hojbjerg on

  26. Shrimpy

  27. Eden Azzzar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Injured imo

  28. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Never mind Benteke, I think Dann's more of a threat up front!
