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

        10 years, 23 days ago

  3. Backup Dancer
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio to Lallana might be a good one this week. If fit

  4. manutd99
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Son to Walcott? Yes midweek game but could rise by 0.2 by then or keep son.

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Keep Son

    2. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

    3. TheCardinal
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I wouldn't sell Son. Might get him in actually!

    4. Bellerinmondo
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I'd keep Son but get Walcott in too

      10 years, 23 days ago

  7. Stimps

  9. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Anyone else looking at selling Sterling to Walcott?

    I know Sterling is still a good prospect but Saints and WBA in the next couple of weeks could be tough and Walcott's looking hard to ignore.

    1. thep025
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I did it just now.....I know it is kneejerky though....if things go wrong i play my WC

    2. Mark-O

      Southampton traveling far to Israel for Europa while City travels to Barcelona for CL

      Also, Man City home against Saints. Look elsewhere imo

      1. Danstoke82

        Saints are playing at the San Siro

    I think we all know who is to blame for this week's debacle: Jonty.

    The FPL gods were clearly angered when he spoke of being far ahead of Mark and have decided to smite him and all those who have similar teams to his.

    On behalf of the beleaguered Jontyites, I beseech our glorious leader to repent and atone for his sins. Perhaps sacrificing his beloved son Jason of Puncheon will placate the vengeful deities and prevent them from sinking our once bountiful land into the sea.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Bravo

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      in other words, you are calling him a tw*t?

    3. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Ha.. don't worry I shall be sacrificing Puncheon at the alter later in the week to please the Fpl gods that have so smited me the last two gwks.

      Never known a couple of weeks like it.

      Might even finish outside of the top 10k for the first time in seven seasons at this rate 😉

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 23 days ago

        What you said at the end of GW1's Scoutcast has stayed with me, Jonty.

        "It's a marathon, not a sprint."

        Roll on GW9.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          10 years, 23 days ago

          That's the spirit.

          Fingers crossed gwk 9 brings more cheer. 🙂

    4. JustPark
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I just sacrificed Puncheon to Wally. Hope it'll do it.

  11. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Weasel Boy

      10 years, 23 days ago

      Not bad at all

  12. fedolefan
    10 years, 23 days ago

    When do we expect Walcott to double rise?

    1. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      In price*

    2. Mark-O

    10 years, 23 days ago

    2FTs
    Rashford > Diomande
    Snoddy > Wally
    Yay or nay?

    Would give me
    Sterling Sanchez Firmino Wally Capoue
    Kun Lukaku Diomande

    Nay right?

    1. Mark-O
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Nay for me as it would mean starting Capoue or Diomande and the latter was dropped to the bench today.

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

      Yes your both right

      Thanks

  14. The Big Fella
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I have decided against going with my emotional response and taking an 8 point hit to make changes. I was going to sell de Gea for Karius and then bring in Mustafi for Williams but I am now thinking about bring in Allen for Bolasie or Puncheon first.

    Any thoughts?

    1. Emp

  15. Cecil The Lion
    10 years, 23 days ago

    GW8 legend is still redeemable. Southampton and Zlatan still to play.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I had actually forgotten he and his rather large ownership were still to come. *sigh*

    2. Slam
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Deeney and Valencia to play, there is hope 😉

  16. FISSH
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Do I sell Sterling or Coutinho for Walcott?

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Neither

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

    Ant and snot to wally and Allen for free.
    Yes or No.

  18. Jigger & Pony

    2. Rhinos
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Ibra on penalties too, not easy to score against the kop

      1. JustPark
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Experience will do it for him!

  20. The Wise Owl

    @TM what is the current LMS safety score?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 23 days ago

      Too early. Could be 15 with luck.

    Jonty getting ribbed by Granville on twitter, seems to have gone awol 😯
    Cant think why 😆

    1. Cecil The Lion
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Is Jonty actually having a worse GW than last time?

  22. Styles_X

    Capoue to Allen?

  23. ANDER.
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Snoddy + Tekkers > Theo + Wilson/Austin?

    Need to downgrade Tekkers or Lukaku to get Theo.

    1. Mark-O
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wilson against Spurs

      Austin yet to play so wait

      1. Danstoke82
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Cheers for the reply. Due to Walcotts impending huge price rise I'm not sure I have the luxury of waiting?

        1. Mark-O
          10 years, 23 days ago

          If u like a 352 to bench Wilson in tough matches and have a strong 5th mid then why not?

          1. Danstoke82
            10 years, 23 days ago

            Sounds like a plan. I might do this. Many thanks for the feedback mate. Out of interest what would you do with this lot?

            Heaton
            Kosc Lovren Evans
            Sanchez Firmino Son Snoddy
            Kun Lukaku Benteke

            Subs; Pickford Amat Capoue MWilson

  26. Jonty Rhodes
    10 years, 23 days ago

    FT - Januzaj for Walcott - No brainer or wait?

    4m ITB - 0 FT

    Team:
    Pickford (Foster)
    Baines, Collins, Mustafi (Mc Auley, Amat)
    Hazard, Antonio, Capoue, Chadli (Januzaj)
    Aguero (c), Deeney (vc), Lukaku

    1. Z
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Could get injured midweek but I'd do it and make the most of the price rise(s).

      Either Januzaj or Antonio.

      1. Jonty Rhodes
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Who would you go for? I might give antonio one more chance to prove...

  27. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    5-4-2 with Aguero and Benteke as the 2. It doesn't get better than that

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Well done Cheese 😀

      We deserved more

    2. The Mighty Slovenian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Benteke and Aguero are not 2. They are -2.

      1. George Sillett
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Oh dear.

        1. The Mighty Slovenian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 23 days ago

          What? I thought is was a pretty good one 😀

  28. camarozz
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sanchez to Walcott frees up so much cash. Could upgrade capoue or snodgrass..(been useless since I got him in) with funds and get an arsenal defender also.
    But is Walcott reliable and will u capt him??

    1. Z
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He was my vice today, I was praying for Aguero to stay on the bench.

  29. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Finally a good FPL week. Theo could have had SO much more though.

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

      He could have scored 4 easily

  30. Bellerinmondo

    Anyone know what's up with Baines by the way?

    1. ***00tennis***
      10 years, 23 days ago

      wasn't 100% fit today(from prev injury)
