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.

    Townsend has one of the ugliest heads in the premier league

      Deleney though....

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

      Surely after Sterling

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

        Not hair the actual shape of his head, it looks like a rocky valley

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

          Cheik Tiote then

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

          not in OL

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

      Deeney

    5. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Now Lescott isn't in Premier League you mean? Or Gervinho?

    6. Smurf

      Rooney says hello.

  2. TheSteel

    C'mon Tekkers. Get on the end of one of those juicy Townsend deliveries.

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

    Austin almost scores from a Bertrand cross

  4. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Stoke to go down?

    Hughes has gradually brought in players with big reputations but they seem to lack the ability to work hard as a team that they had with the old Pulis built setup

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

      Pulis managed Stoke 4 seasons ago though. And Hughes has done better in each of his 3 seasons.

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

        Aye but Hughes got by with the basic squad built by Pulis and has gradually built his own squad and this is where it has got them.

    1. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    2. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years

    Bentekkers is starting to frustrate me

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why?

    2. Differentiator

      BentekOUT

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

      Already got a 0.1 rise from him. Have no problem replacing him.

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

    Could use a few own goals in these games

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

    Lloris (C); Walker, Alderweireld, Dier, Vertonghen; Dembele, Wanyama; Sissoko, Alli, Son; Kane. #COYS

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

      No Lamela as expected.

    2. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      no Lamela FFS. Glad I'm on WC

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Vertonghen left back?

  11. Son of Rambo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    No Lamela

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

    #THFC team: Lloris (C); Walker, Alderweireld, Dier, Vertonghen; Dembele, Wanyama; Sissoko, Alli, Son; Kane. #COYS

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

      No Lamela FFS.
      Getting him over Sterling a few weeks back was one bad decision.

  13. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    this week... I
    will be mostly picking the wrong Belgie's

    Hazard +Tekkers = 3pts

    Chadli + lukaku = 33pts

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

    Lamela on the bench AGAIN!

    Capoue first sub...

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

      Nice

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

        Same as last week I think. He'll come on around 60-70th minute.

        It's the hope that kills...

    2. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't hope too much will sting if they bring him on.

      Might be lucky though

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

      Fingers crossed he will not come in as a sub then.

    4. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      but lamela will sub in for 1 point

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

      He's getting a cameo and you know it Andy 😛

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

        Yup - exactly the same as last week. Should have probably sold him for a hit

        Oh well - wildcard at least...

    6. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Will come on surely though.

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

      Unfortunately, he will likely come on at some point. I have him, and can't wait to get rid.

  21. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Dier in defence

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

    Very interested to see how Spurs play with this midfield.

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

    no Erksen

  24. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Redmond wasted 4 Tadic assists now.

  25. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lamela going to shaft me two weeks in a row and block Capoue points

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

    Dembele - Wanyama - Sissoko

    3 DM ??

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dembele and Sissoko are not DMs

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sissoko will be attacking

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

      4231 I suppose

  27. WhoAteAllDepays
    • 10 Years

    Walker starts, Lamela benched.. Please no cameo

  28. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Shaw Hazard Ozil Ibra : OUT

    Holebas Sanchez Sterling Kun : IN

    -8 Hit.

    A. Reasonable

    B. Unreasonable

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

      B but Shaw to Holebas and Ibra to Kun isn't if you can afford.

  29. KeepCalm
