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.

              Read what he posted again. Where else is he supposed to communicate this information?

                Just wondering if he would've communicated this information to us if he had a bad week

              What's the difference stating if he has got a good or bad score.

                • 11 Years

                Would he have stated it if he got a bad score?

      Kone or Holebas?
      Holebas 3 YC already

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Austin comes on and scores. He should be starting every GW. This Puel sounds a complete moron if you ask me. Don't need to be a professional manager to realise this.

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

          Instead he plays redmond up top

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

          For sure.. Shane Long on the other hand has never been PL quality

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I dont get it. I wanted Austin since GW1 as he would be the best 3rd striker IMO but Puel is just barking mad.

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

              Lol.

              This fella plays a system with Redmond up top but your questioning Shane Long?

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

                I would question the both of them

                1. Hibbo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  I'd question Puel he's not premier league class.

                  He's come in and decided that Redmond is the new Henry.

                  A blind man would have started with Long and Austin in a front two.

                  To say Long isn't premier league class is imo ridiculous Nidge.

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

                    Yep would certainly question the manager too

                    Would agree with Long over Redmond but personally would maybe have Long in a wider position he likes to run the channels and works his bollox off for the team

                    Maybe came across as harsh i do like him as a player but does he have the quality to get ya 15 goals or more in a central position.. not for me.. they could certainly do with an upgrade or two as far as striking options go

                    1. Hibbo
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 13 Years
                      9 years, 7 months ago

                      He's fairly selfless for the team.

                      Does he get enough goals? No.

                      Is a two with him and Redmond going to get enough goals? No.

                      I just don't get the Redmond experiment. Long can lead the line like a battering ram and let Charlie score the goals.

                      For me Austin has to start but it'd be in place of this Redmond striker stuff.

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

                        Aye well Austin should have been in from day one he's proven himself in the big league so can't quite get my head round why he has been sat on the pine

                        Long and Austin actually has the potential to be really good

          2. Greenbackbøøg…
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Hopefully he has nailed his spot now

          3. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Agree. Why is he starting with Long or even Redmond up top?

        3. Declan
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Joe Hart clean sheet

          Stoke chose to focus on containing Benteke and have been punished for it. Not sure shipping him when they obviously have plenty of crosses in them is the right idea.

        5. PainInDiaz
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Deeney or Ighalo?

          Seems like Ighalo does all the hard work, but Deeney being the captain is a safe bet.

          Whom would you rather own?

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            The one on pens.

          2. Mr. Meeseeks
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Deeney. On pens. Cheaper.

          3. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Definitely deeney

          4. PainInDiaz
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks all. Deeney it is.

          5. GHB
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Ighalo does all the hard work?

        6. Chucky
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Benteke you waste of space

        7. Kane Train
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Anyone keeping Townsend now?

        8. The Mighty Whites
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Thoughts? -

          Cech / Pickford

          Walker / Baines / McAuley / Holebas / Amat

          Sanchez / Firmino / Antonio / Snodgrass / Capoue

          Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney

          1. Mr. Meeseeks
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Same team. But downgrade cech to heaton/4.5 and upgrade mcauley and firmino to mané?

          About that thing where you keep doing transfers and hit the WC button on deadline day, I am scared so I won't do it, but it is a valid tactic and you all should do it.

              This.
              Just pointless. Press the WC and be done with it.

              Or you will just be like that guy that missed to confirm his WC and had a -40 hit.
