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.

    Why is Redmond still getting a game?

    😆

      tnx God I finally played capoue over him... cant wait a FT to kick him out... if i get upset this week i might even take a hit and swap him for bolasie..

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

    Stekelenburg, Koscielney, Walker, McAuley & Snodgrass

    or

    Heaton, Williams, Robertson, Francis & Sterling

    ?

    1. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The latter, I think. Sterling tips it over.

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

      A

  3. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Oh my god Remond. FFS would have been Tadic assist too

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

    Redmond and Gray has been the most pathetic to own

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

      Add Stones to that list...

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

        Ahh yes him.

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Redmond > who for a hit?

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

      Snoddy I'm going for

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

      KDB

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Snodgrass?

  6. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Please could somebody sanity-check my plan?

    I'm 0.1 off affording my proposed wildcard time. I'm considering finding it by transferring Foster to Marshall, so my keepers are Jaku/Marshall, and playing a Hull keeper every week.

    My thinking is that WBA's fixtures are taking a turn for the worse just as Hull's are taking a turn for the better (for ages), and I won't have to worry about Jaku getting dropped.

    The upgrade this allows is Valencia to Walker.

    Worth it?

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

      Not worth it imo. I would keep Foster

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

      Maybe just Walker better fixtures than Valencia too. Would like to have both Valencia and Walker.

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

    Redmond killed Amat off looool

    Should've scored really

  8. SuperDan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one:
    A) Kane, Sanchez, Cazorla
    B) Costa, Sanchez, Sterling

    Thanks

    As a Redmond owner, this is sooo painful!

  10. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That was a tremendous open goal miss from Redmond...takes skill to miss that.

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

      Open goal? Still had to beat fabianksi, I agree it was harder to get it over from there though.

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        you know what I mean

  11. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    If you didn't own him, how much would you pay for Capoue?

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      7.5-8m

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

      10m at least

      Essential

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

        6m really. Can't tell if he'll continue lol

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

      £89m ... oh no wait that's Pogba.

    4. Jasoooooooo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      6mil, if he was anymore than that I would just pick Pereyra

    5. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers for the replies. Need to jump aboard, even if it is very late.

  12. jam
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Jaku/Pickford
    Coleman/Amat/Valencia/McAuley/Smith
    KDB/Sterling/Sanchez/Capoue/Antonio
    Augero/Lukaku/Diomande

    WC dream team and very tempting...

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Diomante is dreamy

      1. jam
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Just a facilitator. And will go up in value!

  13. MidTableFantasy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Current front 8:
    KDB Antonio Capoute Zaha Payet
    Lukaku Ibra Benteke

    Three ways I can get Kun back in:

    A) Lukaku -> Kun (FT)
    B) KDB + Benteke -> Sterling + Kun (-4)
    C) Payet + Benteke + Stones -> Sterling + Kun + Holebas (-8)

    Tough to get rid of KDB right now... but Payet also on fire with decent fixtures coming up.

    Thoughts?

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

      Capoue**

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

    Wish I could do gray and redmond to kun and Kdb but too bad

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You didn't put aside 12M in the bank? Rookie error.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I answered your q earlier btw Pasq.

  15. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Best two 4.5 defs?

    Holebas and ....

    Wanted a Stoke def but now no one nailed

    West Brom look susceptible to conceding a fair bit ...

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

      You want a Stoke defender and not a WBA defender?

      This isn't 2012

    2. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Stoke def, they let goals for fun. 2 from CP in 20 min

  16. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any chances for Benteke?

  17. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Right now having Tadic & Redmond on your team is the most frustrating thing ever.

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

    Benteke Fail 🙁

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Only half time

  19. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    At this rate I would sell Redmond even for a -12 if I wasn't at the wildcard.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      But West Ham just conceded 4 to West Brom...

      He always finds a way of staying in my team. 😆

  20. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Redmond and Bolasie owner with no City cover.

    Loving this week.

  21. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Please stay on the bench Pieters 🙁

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He will come on and score

  22. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    A) Firmino (3-5-2, Diamonde on bench)
    B) Lukaku (3-4-3, Carrick on bench); requires a 4 point hit

    Really tricky one....

  23. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Will be doing ibra to Kun however need 1.0 so:

    A. Hazard to firmino
    B. Redmond to a 5.0 or less 5th mid

    Foster / jak
    Shaw, Williams, friend, Collins, Amat
    Sanchez, HAZARD, sterling, capoue, REDMOND
    Ibra, lukaku, tekkers

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A

  24. Belsunz
    • 12 Years

    'Redmond is reminding me of Thierry Henry'. 🙂

  25. mdm
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which option is better:

    A. Ibra, Snodgrass and Chadli
    B. Deeney, Sterling and Firminho

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

      B

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

    Redmond just missed 2 chances both assisted by Tadic 🙁

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

      =(

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

    OUT IN
    Lukaku Aguero
    Benteke Deeney
    Hazard Firmino
    Cazorla Bolasie

    Worth a -8 guys?

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

      no

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Def not

      Lukaku with 4 goals and an assist in 2 games, would def not sell

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

        It's so tough to get rid of him alright! I really want to keep Ibra though (at least for the next 2 games).

  28. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My WC for next week, 1 to 10?

    Foster
    Holebas - Lovren - Williams
    Sanchez - Antonio - Sterling - Firminho
    Kun (C) - Lukaku - Deeney

    Subs: Pickford - Capoue - Kingsley - Ammat

    $0.5 in the bank to switch to a better defense on GW8. Liverpool, Watford and Everton has the better fixtures.

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

    Benteke owners calm down, he's been good so far and you can't expect him to be involved in all of their goals

  30. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Foster, Jak
    Walker, Amat, (Kone, Friend, Williams)
    Antonio, Capoue, (Hazard, Lamela, Ozil)
    Aguero, Lukaku, (Benteke)

    Take a -4 for two transfers OR WC to:

    Foster, Jak
    Walker, Amat, (Coleman, Holebas, Lovren)
    Antonio, Capoue, (Sanchez, Mane, Chadli)
    Aguero, Lukaku, (Deeney)
