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

    1. TheSteel
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deleney though....

    2. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Back to back top of page posts

    3. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Surely after Sterling

      1. Eden Azzzar
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. El-Kloppico
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Cheik Tiote then

        2. El-Kloppico
          10 years, 1 month ago

          not in OL

    4. OPTA FPL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney

    5. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      Rooney says hello.

  2. TheSteel
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  3. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Austin almost scores from a Bertrand cross

  4. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Sánchez
        10 years, 1 month 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.

  5. The Donald
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bentekkers is starting to frustrate me

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

      Why?

    2. Differentiator
      10 years, 1 month ago

      BentekOUT

    3. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  9. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Could use a few own goals in these games

  10. Declan
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Lamela as expected.

    2. Giovanni Giorgio
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no Lamela FFS. Glad I'm on WC

    3. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vertonghen left back?

  11. Son of Rambo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No Lamela

  12. Les Bleus
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    Hazard +Tekkers = 3pts

    Chadli + lukaku = 33pts

  14. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela on the bench AGAIN!

    Capoue first sub...

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

      Might be lucky though

    3. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. some witty pun
      10 years, 1 month ago

      but lamela will sub in for 1 point

    5. Differentiator
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        Oh well - wildcard at least...

    6. il Brutto
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Will come on surely though.

    7. The Enlightener
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  15. Jimmers

  23. OPTA FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

  24. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond wasted 4 Tadic assists now.

  25. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  26. El-Kloppico
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
