Fantasy Premier League managers are handed the third Friday deadline of the season as Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison this evening.

Ronald Koeman’s side suffered their first league reverse of 2016/17 against Bournemouth last week, yet in Romelu Lukaku, they boast one of the most in-form forwards in the top-flight.

The Belgian has racked up four goals and an assist in the last three and, despite being hampered by a toe problem, starts against the Eagles tonight.

Lukaku earned fourth spot in this week’s Captain Poll and faces a defence that has yet to register a clean sheet and is still devoid of the injured Scott Dann.

On the other side of the pitch, the Merseysiders will do well to subdue Christian Benteke.

The summer signing has scored in both his away appearances for the Eagles, helping them secure wins on the road at Middlesbrough and Sunderland.

A supporting cast that includes Wilfried Zaha, Andros Townsend and Jason Puncheon will be looking to breach a backline that’s conceded just two goals in the last four Gameweeks.

    So Benteke's got me two nice headed goals so far, but I don't think he's actually had a shot with his foot yet. Playing very nice link up and holding play but not as dangerous as I would have hoped.

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Good God that comment...

    2. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, headed goals don't count 🙂

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I find it hard to believe he will get 15+ headed goals this season. Obviously I'm happy with the goals but I'm afraid it won't be enough in the long run.

        1. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          If you want 15 + goals from your third striker....

          1. Postman Ty
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            From Benteke...? Yes absolutely. He got 19 in his last full season, he's more than capable. And don't say anything about Palace because it was at Villa...

            And my other Striker will be Defoe who I also expect 15 goals from since he managed it last season and has been off to a good start.

    3. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years

      Man who does everything a striker should do in not looking like suarez shock

    Teke 5* skills

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bolasie has been poor

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Standard.

    2. squits
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Don't really agree. Maybe the last 25mins yes, but the first 60 he looked very dangerous. Unlucky not to get an assist when Gueye hit is at the defender's legs with an open goal and when crossing for Lukaku first half.

      1. nelluckram
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Also that ball to Lukaku in the 1st half. Flip of a coin = 2 assists

    3. nelluckram
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ah...

  20. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Coleman should have got a YC

  21. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Gotta love how advanced Coleman is.

    Defo the pick of the Everton defence.

  22. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Got 11m to spend on two defence spots, who would you pick?

    Clyne and who?

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Coleman

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Bellerin and a 4.5

    3. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Coleman

    4. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Coleman & VVD

  23. Hi I'm Jose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Coleman is really wasting chances tonight. He could have had one goal and assist already.

  24. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Everton's final ball has been shocking!

  25. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Benteke on 6 points so far, Deeney better score a double digit haul then!

  26. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How many points has Benteke saved Palace now?

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bolasie yellow

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      With a red diagonal stripe.

  28. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years

    Wtf are you doing Yannick

  29. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bolasie lol

  30. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Nah Bolasie should be off the pitch
