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.

    Best move here?

    A) Haz & Tekkers -> Barry & Kun
    B) Haz & Tekkers -> Firmino & Lukaku
    C) Haz & Ibra -> Firmino & Kun

    Sanchez, Haz, Santi, Antonio, Capoue
    Ibra, Defoe, Benteke

    Bank 0.0m, 2FT

      Front line looking weak with Defoe and Benteke.

    Valencia > Dawson on WC a good short term move? Stoke can't defend set pieces and Sun are quite bad as well. Plus decent CS chance.

    So it's boiling down to this:

    A) Ibra/Haz out Kun/Firm in

    B) Kaku/Haz out Kun/Bolasie in

    C) Tekkers/Haz out Kun/Barry in

    If going for option C I will need to play Capoue as a 4th mid alongside Alexis, Antonio and Chadli for the next couple of weeks. Very tempted atm.

    1. walkman666

      A

  4. Granville

    Playing Capoue every week is the only thing that's keeping my head above water.

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

      Benching Aguero was the best decision ever

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

        Can you really say that?

        Most got on the Lukaku train.

  5. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who to drop for kun?

    IBRA,SANCHEZ,HAZARD,LUKAKU

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Eden

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Has to be IBRA

  6. mojoindojo

    Bottomed...
    Thinking of 3-5-2 with this WC team. Thoughts please.

    Heaton Jaku
    Baines Kosc Stones Holebas Kingsley
    Sanchez Mane Sterling Antonio Capoue
    Kun Lukaku 5.1 fodder

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah been toying with 3-5-2 as well...

  7. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Simple question.

    Hazard and Ozil case.

    A. Ditch

    B. Stay

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

      C. Stitch

  8. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    On a wc, which defenders should I get.

    Thinking about keeping Williams and probaly Amat for the price. Also Holebas might be good.

    Anyone I should definitely get in?

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

      Them 3 are a good start.

    2. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Baines, Walker, Bellerin/Koscielny

  9. TheTinman
    • 10 Years

    I don't even know where to start on this wildcard...

    1. El-Kloppico

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would you wildcard this team?...

    Foster, Jaku
    Walker, Stones*, Valencia, Friend, Wilson*
    Hazard*, Lamela*, Sanchez, Firmino, Capoue
    Ibra, Benteke*, Ihenacho*

    The star players are who'd I'd probs look to change if so! hmm

  14. Grand Thibauto

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

      Capoue on bench?

  16. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would you stick or twist?

    Costa > Aguero
    Redmond > Capoue

    Pickford
    Baines / Valencia / Holebas
    Antonio / Sanchez / Sterling / Firmino
    Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney

    Subs: Heaton / Capoue / Evans / Amat

    Views on this WC is appreciated.

    Jakupovic Pickford
    Baines McAuley Holebas Kelly Amat
    Sanchez KDB Firmino Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney

    Cheers in advance.

    1. Kane Train
      • 11 Years

      Nice mate. No Antonio ??

    2. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wow what a difference no Ibra can make. Very nice but Capoue is a 4th mid now for me. so would try to set my team up for less points on the bench. Still really like the city double up and managing to get Sanchez and kaku

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

      solid team well done

  22. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How is this WC team?

    Foster Jaku
    Dann Walker Kone Morgan Friend
    Sanchez Capoue Firmino Townsend Antonio
    Lukaku Aguero Rashford

    0.2m ITB

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

      solid team

    2. Burton
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I like it. Not enough discussion of Rashford IMO. The team Man U put out today was ludicrous, but he'd not be the attacker I'd cut to beef up the middle.

  23. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    3.9itb,My front 8:
    Hazard/sanchez/capoue/Antonio/redmond
    Gray/ibra/lukaku

    Gray to kun, hazard to 7.5 mid?
    Walcott only one that stands out to me

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

      good plan

  24. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is getting Aguero in worth a WC? What other glaring errors can you see in this team that would prompt a WC?

    Foster Heaton
    Evans Stones Valencia Friend Amat
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Redmond Hobjberg
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Iheanacho

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

      Redmond,Hojbjerg,Nacho the problems otherwise good.

    2. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      My team was similar I decided to do it. Aguero can score 4 goals boom you're behind

  25. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    wc team:
    Foster,Jakup
    Smith,Friend,Amat,Shaw,McAuley

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

        No. I'm going with Costa and Aguero. Costa looks like he means business

    Foster Heaton
    Valencia Baines Evans Amat Holebas

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

    KDB v Firmino v Hazard pick 1 to bring in

  30. Mr. Meeseeks

    KDB + Capoue (4th) snodgrass (5th)
    or
    Sterling + Antonio (4th)
