We head to Selhurst Park for Saturday’s final fixture as Palace and West Ham’s dodgy defences go head-to-head.

Christian Benteke warmed up for this one with a midweek hat-trick against Gibraltar and will fancy his chances against a rearguard that conceded more goals than any other over the first seven.

Subject of a recent members article, the in-form Dimitri Payet has racked up a goal and four assists in four starts for the visitors and chipped in with a goal and assist for France over the break.

Michail Antonio has netted in each of his last two away outings – at Man City and West Brom – suggesting he could punish his recent batch of sellers against a Palace backline that’s yet to keep a clean sheet.

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

  7. Pedram

    Anyone else having an awful week ?

    1. Slam
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Aguero(C) didn't help me in the slightest
      Or Pulis defence

  8. More Tragic
    10 years, 23 days ago

    49pts

    5 left to play

    above average?

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      A little

    2. Del Griffith
      10 years, 23 days ago

    3. Rhinos

  9. Bushido
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Someone on here called me crazy for choosing Dele Ali over Lamela. Guess I was right 😀

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Woops, i meant Son

      BUSHIDO 13 days, 2 hours ago
      I went for Ali over Son, hopefully it pays off over the coming weeks.

      ITWASWRITTEN 13 days, 2 hours ago
      Are you English? Because I see no other answer to why someone would be Alli over Son.

    2. Rhinos
      10 years, 23 days ago

      well done, even a tipsy squirell will catch a nut once in a while

  10. mikess
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Foster, Pickford
    Bellerin, Clyne, Valencia, Stones, Amat
    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Walcott, Snodgrass
    Agüero, Benteke, W.Keane

    What to do guys?

    Happy to persist with 352. Hate my defence bar Bellerin

  11. Styles_X
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sterling dropping right? Who do I get in place?
    Have Wally, Firmino, Sanchez, and Capoue

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Son maybe?

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 23 days ago

      Let me be the voice of reason. Sterling has good fixtures, one drop isn't bad, and he plays for a great team with players coming back from injuries and getting healthy. HOLD.

      (plus who else would be better..)

      1. In Bale We Trust
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Don't know if you watched the match today, but he only had one attempt at goal and created one chance. Next up for them is another miserly defence. He is worth getting rid of in my opinion

        1. thep025
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Same thought....didn't look particularly threatening....get in wally?

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            10 years, 23 days ago

            He has Wally already

        2. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 23 days ago

          I watched, and I think not having Aguero in the team hurts Sterling.

          The next 4 after Southampton are good.

          And the biggest one: if KDB and/or Aguero scores one of those penalties the game opens up, Everton push forward, Sterling has space to run, the game is totally different.

      2. Styles_X
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I agree but city are finally dropping in form and teams are figuring them out and with him dropping I so badly want to kneejerk

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 23 days ago

          If you find someone better, OK do it. But who is better? I'd say he's a better option than any Tottenham player, even though they are on better short term form

    3. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Alli?

    4. mojoindojo
      10 years, 23 days ago

      keep

    5. Mark-O
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Keep

      Have faith in Pep I think

    6. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Sterling isn't dropping

  12. OldSchool
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Any reasons not to do Antonio to Wally?

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He could get injured midweek

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Midweek games.

    3. GXNG
      10 years, 23 days ago

      If you're gonna do it you should do it now as his price is gonna rise by at least 0.2

    4. Loðbrók
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No

  13. GXNG
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Chances of Mane not playing tomorrow?

    1. Loðbrók
      10 years, 23 days ago

      100% chance hes not playing TOMORROW

      1. GXNG
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Allen on the bench ://

    2. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      2%

  14. Costa's Counsellor

    This is the worst time on here.

  15. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    All we need now is for Tadic to get -3 and we'll know the world is about to end

  16. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    After a terrible GW7 and huge red arrow, very happy to be on 53 with 4 to go...

    Who should I get for Antonio? Other playing mids are Sanchez, Walcott and Mane.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Son

    2. TheCardinal
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Son

  17. Offside Trapattoni
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Will Foster get any bonus points? I'm on 43 (less any Foster bonus) with only Capoue left.

    1. Mark-O
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No

  18. thep025
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Is a Sanchez/Walcott double up a good idea?Over Sterling?

    1. More Tragic
      10 years, 23 days ago

      selling Sterling is mental

  19. camarozz
    10 years, 23 days ago

    First for me anyway. -2 for two strikers. One of which (benteke) I just brought in. Time to ditch sanchez for Walcott??

    1. Rhinos
      10 years, 23 days ago

      arsenal midfield is roulette. dont change from red to black

    2. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      How's that going to help?

    3. Mark-O
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No

      Sanchez is still lethal so a double up is better

    4. thep025
      10 years, 23 days ago

      THinking about it....

  20. GoonerByron
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Benteke (c) hurts so much with Walcott (vc) 😐

    1. Rhinos
      10 years, 23 days ago

      and you're an Arsenal fan. Poor

  21. Mark-O
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Cresswell didn't choose to be a thug

    Thug life chose to find Cresswell and had a CS

    Deal with it 🙁

  22. Slam
    10 years, 23 days ago

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Overdue

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      1. Slam
        10 years, 23 days ago

        2. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Liverpool or Man City mid. Very good fixtures over next 5-6.

    3. Reedy
      10 years, 23 days ago

    4. I Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

    5. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 23 days ago

  23. ratski
    10 years, 23 days ago

    So need to get Walcott,

    Downgrade Baines max 5.1

    Straight swap to williams , or anyone else offer good value at that price?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Daniels at 4.9

  24. UpAndAway
    10 years, 23 days ago

    What a week to use 2 FT on defence, for nothing returns.

    One of my worst GW's on record coming up!

    1. GXNG
      10 years, 23 days ago

      At least you didn't bench allen

  25. GoonerByron
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Any chance Jakupovic will get his place back next week?

    1. TheCardinal
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Hope so!

  26. Flynny
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Hi....I only have mustafi sanchez and Kun playing mid week...

    Do I do Antonio to walcott tonight to avoid price rise?...or wait...

    1. I Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wait. You'll be kicking yourself if Kun or Alexis get hurt midweek.

  27. RoysCallerAnne

    3. RED PILL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      At least Jonty turn's up on the scoutcast after a bad gameweek. Not like last season, his fellow scoutcast mate was having a bad season so disappeared. Cough Cough !
