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.

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Why rid of Theo? Use simply as an enabler?

          He has been gold so far for me.

          Barkley is DEFFO GONE. Forever.

      No Lamela. Closing off easily the worst game week ever. Anyone in the same boat?

          1. Back on the horse
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

        Holding Tadic rather than shipping to Ozil for -4 last week has netted me some hefty points!

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

        I have Kun and Sterling.

        (A) KDB 3-5-2

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years

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

          Some cross that was

      • Big4FPL
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Would you rather:

        A) Benteke Sterling Capoue(Able to rotate with Zaha/Iwobi/Snodgrass)

        Or

        B) Rondon KDB Capoue(with a 4.5 on the bench)

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years

      • QPR Lad 92
        • 14 Years

        Bought in Eriksen and firmino this week ...both don't start, no luck at all this season

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

          where is Capoue

        2. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You probably get capoue of the bench

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

          Firmino was unlucky but I see a lot of rotation at spurs with CL. Avoid

        4. QPR Lad 92
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Lol I don't have capoue my own stupidity

      • Scotty B
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Heaton
        Collins Baines Shaw
        Antonio Ozil Hazard Sterling
        Ibrahimovic Lukaku Benteke

        Pickford Capoue Evans Amat

        Benteke & Hazard > Aguero & Snodgrass my best option?

        Come on Townsend get in the BAPS!

      • Albert_Luque
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Anyone else considering keeping Redmond on wildcard? Hes sounding lively today, unlucky not to get something so far.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          He's not unlucky. Just not a finisher

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

          Nothing unlucky about it he's just not very good

          No

        3. MTPockets
            9 years, 7 months ago

            No way

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

            No just because there are SO many other options that are getting the points it's not worth it IMO.

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

          Soton far better with Austin on the pitch. He looks like their most dangerous player, definitely one to watch.

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

          Lamela benched ffs...

        6. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Surely that was a lukaku goal?

        7. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Mane seems a bit too expensive at 9.0. anyone going for him?

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

          Williams or Baines?
          0.5 could be used elsewhere I think.

          (I know Baines is now 5.6, but I got him in at 5.5 before the price rise)
