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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good God that comment...

    2. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, headed goals don't count 🙂

      1. Postman Ty
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Postman Ty
            10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie has been poor

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Standard.

    2. squits
      10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

    3. nelluckram
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ah...

  20. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman should have got a YC

  21. JIM BOB
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gotta love how advanced Coleman is.

    Defo the pick of the Everton defence.

  22. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    Clyne and who?

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin and a 4.5

    3. Tansey
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman

    4. FPLHaggis
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman & VVD

  23. Hi I'm Jose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  24. SheBangsTheDrums
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Everton's final ball has been shocking!

  25. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  26. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How many points has Benteke saved Palace now?

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie yellow
