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

  9. Bushido

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

    1. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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.

      Are you English? Because I see no other answer to why someone would be Alli over Son.

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years

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

  10. mikess
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son maybe?

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            He has Wally already

        2. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Alli?

    4. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      keep

    5. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Keep

      Have faith in Pep I think

    6. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling isn't dropping

  12. OldSchool
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any reasons not to do Antonio to Wally?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He could get injured midweek

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Midweek games.

    3. GXNG
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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

      No

  13. GXNG

    Chances of Mane not playing tomorrow?

    1. Loðbrók
      • 11 Years

      100% chance hes not playing TOMORROW

      1. GXNG

        Allen on the bench ://

  15. JabbaWookiee

    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
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son

    2. TheCardinal
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son

  17. Offside Trapattoni
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

  18. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      selling Sterling is mental

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      arsenal midfield is roulette. dont change from red to black

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      How's that going to help?

    3. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

      Sanchez is still lethal so a double up is better

    4. thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      THinking about it....

  20. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      and you're an Arsenal fan. Poor

  21. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Cresswell didn't choose to be a thug

    Thug life chose to find Cresswell and had a CS

    Deal with it 🙁

    Antonio, time to sell?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Overdue

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

  24. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years

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

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

    1. GXNG
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      At least you didn't bench allen

  25. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    1. TheCardinal
      • 9 Years

      Hope so!

  26. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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

      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 !
