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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I was gonna bring in Dann on wildcard.. He's scored 2 goals since and Valencia has done f all

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dann from gameweek 1 - essential

  2. niko mate
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I love Dann. No clean sheets, but i'll take his goals.

  3. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Benteke to Deeney if he blanks tonight

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

    2. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Get Ibra out first. 😉

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

    I have Foster, McAuley and Evans.

    Who would you keep on a wildcard? Just Foster?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yeah

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

        Cheers

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

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

        Thanks

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

      Foster and Evans. Evans loves Baps and WBA can get CS against anyone.
      Triple is too much I think.

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

        McAuley a bigger goal threat than Evans?

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

          Don't know that much about him, maybe. Did you get him when he was 4.5?
          Or just keep Foster. 🙂

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

    Mark Hughes first to be sacked?

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Fierce competition from Bilic and Mou

    2. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Looking like it, though I think their board will have patience

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

        A LOT of patience.

    3. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He'll be given some more time. I think he'll get them going in the next few games.

  6. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Chadli Rondon double up essential!!! 😉 for next week.

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

    Stoke the new Aston Villa? Chase the attackers playing them every week. Chadli could easily keep up his form next week.

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think they'll pull it together soon.

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

        I thought that this week but they are falling apart.

  9. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    😆

    Mazzarri had numerous run-ins with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho during their time in Italy - with former Inter manager Mourinho saying the Italian was a hard-working donkey that would never become a thoroughbred

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cool story bro.

  10. Lxnzini
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Have my eye on both Puncheon and Snoddy and cheap enablers for Kun any others worth a mention?

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

      *Puncheon or Snoddy as cheap enablers lol

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Huge difference in Stoke's win percentage and goals conceded without Butland

  12. jia you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Utd home to Stoke in 2 weeks...might have to hold onto Zlatan!

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

      Depends if Hughes still in charge of Stoke do

  13. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Every week Ibra blanks is going to be a mini celebration all seasob.. Love it 😛

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

      So you're going to celebrate a player you don't have not getting points instead of focusing on your own team?

    2. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      So just one week out of 5?

    3. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      he didn't blank

    4. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You won't be celebrating often by the looks of things. 🙂

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

    Townsend CLOSE

    1. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      that wasn't close

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

        Close enough 😉

      2. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        By fpl rules it was basically a goal.

  15. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    0-1-2. Keep seeing these same numbers in my defense each and every week. I;m not sure more investment there would improve the scores. May just go Baines and 4 cheapies on WC

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    At least it been confirmed Tadic is on pens today

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

    My big WC dilemma?

    A. Sterling + 4m def

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years

    Front 8 of
    Firmino Alexis Antonio Bolasie Capoue

    Thinking of Bench boost on GW7 🙂

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

      Bench boost in GW7 is a top idea, can't think of a better time to use it

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        How about a dgw

        1. Bleach †
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Triple CPT maybe

  20. WDT
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ibra & Hazard gone. Welcome Aguero & Mane

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

      Better

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

      Nice to see someone choosing Mane over Firm.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero and sterling or antonio for me

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

      No, injury to his jaw and leg

      It could've been worse according to Pard

  22. Aiden6375
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Take Ibrahim so I can get sanchez?

    Would leave my top 8

    Coupe KDB Firmino Bolasie Sanchez

    Aguero Deeney Rondon

    Worth the risk?

  23. Bob_the_builder
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Could Kun's return mean an Ibra exodus and a potential price drop ?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    3. devils advocate
      • 11 Years

      Hope so.

  24. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Would you keep Ozil for next game?

  25. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    This Palace team is made for Benteke to score goals. Hasnt yet today of course but sooo many crosses are put in. Can see him scoring a lot

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

    Thoughts on WC Team - 0.2 ITB -

    Heaton - Pickford

    Williams - Holebas - Evans - Robertson - Amat

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

        Why? Leaky defence and poor fixtures

    2. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      not a fan of the defense

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

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Even though it's tightly shaved, if you look closely, Townsends hairline seems to miraculously come down back.
