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.

    Foster - Jaku

    Any suggestions?

      Amat for Kingsley other than that basically the same as my ex team

    2. Albrightondknight

      Defence not good enough lose Costa or Lukaku and upgrade 3 of them.

    3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years

      That defence is horrific

      1. Nivelpool
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        But that offense is so tempting 😛

  4. Royal5

    Which team would score the lowest, combined, on an IQ test? I think Stoke are in the mix

    1. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      United aren't exactly a team of scholars either

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years

  5. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

  6. Sánchez

  9. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      😐

  10. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years

    Eriksen and lamela in my team
    not to worry, Diomande (1) and Smith (-1) on the bench to come in

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

      I'm sorry for laughing

    Anyone considering Given as a cheap keeper?

    1. bulbuf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Go for it mate, guaranteed 2 clean sheets a game!

  15. tm245
    • 14 Years

  16. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years

  18. LewanGOALski

    Opinions on this WC team?

    Foster - 4.0
    Williams - PvA - JEvans - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - Capoue
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    bank: 0.1

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

      PvA is not firing at the moment, and Sunderland are leaky.
      I personally wouldn't go for a 4.0 goalkeeper. But if you really want, then Pickford is the only choice.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Almost identical to what I'm planning.
        Still debating lukaku/deeney vs costa (would give rubbish defs and gks though).
        Other issue is looking at Watford's fixtures, who you gona bench?

      • Jay Jay Okocha
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Close to the consensus template. I have Costa and Snodgrass instead of Deeney and Sterling, for example

        1. MTPockets
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah that might be better (accounting for capoue) otherwise leaves a benching issue.
            But would like 2 city, although that means no liverpool.

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

        No assist there right?

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

          Ibra?

      • Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Think i'm gonna take a punt on PVA on my WC.

        Anyone else?

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

          I was close to when I was on WC

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

          Already have him.

        How is this WC team?

        Pickford Jaku
        Dann Walker McAuley Amat Friend
        Sterling Capoue Sanchez Antonio Countinho
        Lukaku Aguero Rondon

      • TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Tekkers assist. Could be given. Anything can be given anytime.

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

          Ibra assist

      • Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Eriksen on the bench too? If so, we (Capoue benchers) can hope for Lamela not coming on?

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

          eriksen and lamela both come on at the same time, with 1 minute to play

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

        I really really wanted Deeney next week before this weekend but thought dumping Benteke was foolish. Now I'm feeling it's OK.

      • Fischy

        9 years, 7 months ago

        Frustrating about having redmond. oop that cant even finish !

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

        9 years, 7 months ago
