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. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ibra has to score at least 2 goals per game to justify that price tag with all the good options atm.

      4. Sánchez
        • 13 Years

      • 15 Years

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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      First time benching Townsend this season

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        That's so sad. Played Capoue for him?

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

          Yup. Was so happy earlier

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

      Benteke do something

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Last minute YC, trust me.

    • Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      lovren or stones ?
      any idea ?
      liverpool looks dominating the game

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

        Liverpool doesn't do CS.
        Stones will be rotated. Find someone else, Williams?

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      What the hell happened to Stoke? Surely not just Butland?

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

        Given in goal.
        Butland IS the entire Stoke defence.

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

      Come on Southampton, more!

    • Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond - Benteke : Nothing so far
      Eriksen : on the bench

      This is going well so far

    • Goodricke
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      What odds on Hughes sacked tonight?

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Possible

    • Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mark Hughes what are you even doing?!

      Their wage bill must be ridiculous!

    • umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Finally not selling Townsend paid off!

    • 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone else hanging onto the faint hopes that Lamela won't leave the bench and Capoue will come on as auto-sub?

      It just never works out that way for me, so give up all hope and pray he can do something in the 15-20 minutes he will inevitably get!

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's coming on 100%

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          ... For the last 5 minutes.

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

        Just assume he's coming off the bench to avoid disappointment

    • TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      4 goals and Benteke gets 2pts.. Wow

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      This system suits the wingers more than benteke imo

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yup they feed off him, but he should still get his fair share

        • Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Spot on - Benteke occupies the defenders while the wingers do the business

      2. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Feel sorry for Neil Taylor. Swansea are a better team when he plays

      3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Benteke has convinced me not to put him in. 4-0 and nowhere.
