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.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      At least he's better than Bony

  5. Obi Wan Elokobi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Benteke and Hazard to Townsend and Aguero?

    1. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Surely you must bring in someone else to replace Hazard??

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Will need 5 million to upgrade Benteke to Aguero.

        1. FPL Puppy
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ouch.
          Looks good then.

  13. Albrightondknight

    Spurs midfield looks like a no go zone for FPL right now. Too much rotation.

    1. The Enlightener
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed

  14. devils advocate
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know how Sunderland are lining up formation wise?

    PVA wing back?

    Can't believe I'm actually asking a question regarding Sunderland's lineup, ha!

    1. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just left-back.

      1. devils advocate

      Why 🙁

    3. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Palace CS bad for LMS?

        I don't know but Dann has too many points.

        1. Ziro
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Lets hope for double price rise at least.

          1. FPL Puppy
            10 years, 1 month ago

            He won't.

    4. Grand Thibauto
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My ML leader having Dann can't make it any worse

      1. FPL Puppy
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wow.

    5. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

  16. FPL Puppy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I went Benteke instead of Bony 2 GWs ago... Even if I'm selling Benteke tonight.

  17. sergioaguero67
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best front 3 currently?

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      John Jeff and James

    2. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This week it was Lukaku - Nacho - Slimani

    3. Fischy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku,Deeney,costa

    4. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bony Rooney Sturridge is a good value strike force

  18. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bony is a pretty inappropriate name for such a fat lazy player

    1. Simon69
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's looking pretty fat right..

    2. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      His weight and movement certainly not an issue here

    3. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's all about the girth.

  19. Cok3y5murf
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Did Rondon -> Benteke for -4 this week. Stupid move or unlucky?

    1. JJO
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not unlucky

    2. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very unlucky. Benteke against Stoke (who can't defend) was good on paper.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sums up my week. Had no Lukaku, no Sanchez, no City cover but had Chelsea and Liverpool cover. Oh, and started Redmond ahead of Capoue 😛

  20. Differentiator
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone ready for a Kane brace to really pile on the player picking pressure?

  21. OPTA FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Need a penalty fro Tekkers

  22. Give The Todd Some Love
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Townsend CS point secure

  23. Pedram
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Palace scores four goals and Benteke was not involved in any of them ?

    1. FPL Puppy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Just like Sanchez GW 38 against Villa.

    2. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed. Annoying.

    Hi,
    If I make 3 transfers tonight then decide to Wildcard on Friday do i get my -8 points back ??

    1. CostaCoffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. some witty pun
      10 years, 1 month ago

      you'll get it back, yes

    3. Grand Thibauto
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do that if you will really wildcard.

    4. Sylas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    5. jurgenklopp.8
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yep

  25. jurgenklopp.8
    10 years, 1 month ago

    please hold onto clean sheet and 3 bonus cedric...

  26. blue book
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Four goals for Arsenal, Man City, West Brom and Palace, while Leicester, Everton and Watford get three. The standard of defending in the Premiership is atrocious. No need for the FPL to invent an "All out Defence" chip.

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kyle Walker is OoP up front ,right?

      *Rocking chair madly rocks*

  27. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why has Eriksen been benched? Thought he's been good lately

    1. how now brown cow
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation. There will be plenty more.

  28. AdamB
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela on my starting line-up, Capoue first sub.

    1. Live Lad
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same here. Better chance with Eriksen also on the Spurs bench.

  29. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Kelly has taken Souare's spot, is he a legitimate option at 4.4?

    Really scraping the barrel for a non-Amat bench option at 4.4 or under!

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Got a jammy assist today, great value for 4.4

  30. Grand Thibauto
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Haz Sanchez Capoue Redmond Antonio
    Costa Gray Aguero

    Redmond to Snodgrass a no-brainer? 1ft, 0.1ITB. Will keep gray for Wat(H).
