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

        ok been on holiday for a week with no decent internet access, come back to find I've only got 10pts and Benteke and Aguero both negative points.

        Costa and Trollaku continue to kill me

        Time to ditch Ibra so I can get one of Costa or Lukaku and also take a hit for Fer > Wally?

          Roll FT or bank the Capoue profit. Could also do Capoue > Allen.

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yes. Capoue -> 4.4m

        3. Slartibartfast
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Bolasie -> Chadli?

          Tough next two games, but it gets better after that. Managed to score against Spurs anyway.

        4. @SirAustinDangerPowers
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Play a mini WC. That would be 3 transfers. Bolasie Capoue Stones >>> Son 4.5m mid BOU def

          1. Lateriser 12

            • 13 Years

            Na i just plaed a mini wildcard. Keeping Stones.

              Keeping Stones? You are joking?

            2. @SirAustinDangerPowers
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Fair enough. You got Capoue at 4.5? Is Bolasie Capoue >>> Son 4.4 possible?

        5. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Antonio > Walcott for free is an absolute stone cold no brainer, right?

        1. Bellerinmondo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          after CL game , also Antonio has SUN

          1. sully29
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Walcott has Middlesbrough and isn't going to play as a RB. Think that outweighs Sunderland.

            1. Bellerinmondo
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              true, I'd def get walcott in, I'm just tempted to keep antonio for 1 more

        2. MTPockets
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yep

          • kalmoffit
            • 12 Years

            Antonio could be worth keeping, though.

              Me too. Three weeks late and now i'm positive he's going to get banjaxed in CL.

        3. Emiliano Sala

          stoke really have decent fixtures

          want a replacement for evans , thinking about pieters. any better option with 4.9 ?

          1. bojack
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I've considered Pieters as well. With WBA's tough run you've probably not got much to lose with that transfer.

                  Do not worry. Austin is not a cocky penalty taker like Aguero. He will smash 'em right in.

              We're mentally in the ECL zone before their midweek matches. Will be better at home than you saw today. Much better.

        7. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          very tempted by hazard to theo. He was good today but their fixtures are horrible and Conte keeps bringing him off after 70mins or so

          1. Costa's Counsellor
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Only Costa tempts me once he's served his ban.

          I think this is my worst ever week playing this game. 14 points so far, -8 hit, which I knew was a mistake when I did it, now relying on Firmino and Redmond to get me near 20 pts.

          Meanwhile my friend has gotten himself 40pts which will surely help him into the top 50k.

          At the beginning of the season I said I knew hits were a mistake..

          1. Costa's Counsellor
            • 10 Years

            Lots of very good players in a similar position.

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            on the other hand, I decided against taking a hit to get walcott in (and (C) him) this week, so it can hit both ways

        9. OPTA FPL

          I own Theo but puzzled to see people selling him for Sterling

          Sterling - 4 goals 3 assists and plays in a side with Kun KDB Silva with nice fixtures. Always good for returns

          Theo- 5 goals 3 assists and a great short term option

          Not much difference. Both equally good options and owning both could be the way to go.

            Wonder if he retains his spot personally with Sterling

            Last season when we started with both, it was a horror show. Happy enough to just have one at the moment.

            Sterling was a bit deeper today though, like a wing-back. And has SOU & wba up next vs Wally's MID & sun.

          Surely Jaku due a recall?

          Didn't do much wrong in the first few game and Marshall has conceded 13 goals in 3 games.

            Yeah... when you put it like that...

            You would think so, could do with that when Grant loses his spot.

            problem is Marsh has been Hull's best player in those games

          Looking forward to the Sky update tonight at least. Walcott captain and I have Costa and Lukaku as well.

          I was siting at 1320 so this has to push me into the top 1k surely!

          Does anyone know what's going on with the bonus points? Are they late?

          Captain hindsight maybe a bit here but if you weren't seriously considering Walcott captain you were doing it all wrong.

            Considered it, but thought Aguero was the more safe option 😆

          Theo has caused somewhat of a dillema. Only brought Son in this week so a bit reluctant to knee jerk him out, Sterling is the other one who could be ditched however after Saints City have great fixtures so owners of both who you ditching, probably been asked a thousand times but only just come on here

            • 10 Years

            Personally I would ditch Sterling.

            It's a close call and he's the most expensive and has the worst immediate fixture.

              It's a tricky one for sure, those fixtures after Saints are great

          Deeney smith and walcott for -4?

            Don't think so, try find another way to get Walcott imo

            Sanchez.
            No

          What to do with 2 frees and 0 cash? Players I could possibly get rid of are Valencia, Evans, Snoddy and Ibra but not sure if I want anyone in particular.

          Pickford
          Williams, Holebas, Amat
          Mane, Sterling, Walcott, Snodgrass
          Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku

          Heaton, Capoue, Valencia, Evans

            If Ibra blanks things become easier for you.
            Ibra Snodgrass >>> Costa Son
            To enable the above Capoue out for Hojberg

              Not a bad idea, but Costa on 4 yellows and poor fixtures. Is son nailed when not jet lagged?

                Can rideout one Gw without Costa by benching. Also of he takes a yellow next Gw against United then the ban is served in the domestic cup game.
                Sin on current form definitely nailed. Can see Poch play a 3 behind Kane consisting of Lamela Eriksen Son with Dier Alli in mid 2.
