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

      That's fair enough . Not everything is going to go in I suppose

    2. Sánchez

    Chris Brunt only played 27 minutes today but took all three corners West Brom had while he was on the pitch. Legend.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Brunt would take pens off Zlatan if they played for the same team

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

        Brunt can bully Henderson, who can bully Costa, who can bully just about anyone else.

    2. FPL Virgin

      Was it only Cresswell sent off? Just back from injury; nobody will have him.

    People selling Sterling for Walcott?

    Seen it all now!

    1. Team Cruel

      Did it 11:29 today lol

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

        I could understand that. Seeing as he was a doubt to start/play.

        But the knee jerks here is unreal.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          They are crazy. Haven't been online today but there probably has been a few 'Wally essential' posts

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      People selling son after one sub appearance...crazy.

      1. Fergietime
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Bought him for the price rise on WC and sold him before kick off, no regrets.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      he played wing back today which is a negative

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not completely sold on the idea but I do think there's logic to it.

      I can see Saints and WBA being tough games for City. Sterling only really has 2 good fixtures imo (MID, cry) and then it's a tricky run up until Xmas. Also, he played wing-back today.

      Walcott's scored twice as many goals in the last 4 (and twice as many goal attempts). Arsenal's fixtures are pretty nice all the way up to the end of January imo.

  12. Hamstergod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    That feeling when you change captain from Wilson to Aguero one hour before deadline, just to play the %.

    VC'd Walcott in both instances as well 😀

    At least I'm satisfied with my WC.

  13. Jonty Rhodes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Please some more advice. FT - for Walcott in place of:

    A) Januzaj
    B) Antonio?
    C) save

    4m ITB - 0 FT

    Team:
    Pickford (Foster)
    Baines, Collins, Mustafi (Mc Auley, Amat)

  14. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

    22 points from 7 . I think I may have deserved this tbh . I've been hanging on to Antonio and Redmond far too long imo

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

      Redmond is about to pay you back for

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years

        That

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years

          I hope so

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

      Wasn't a bad thing to keep Antonio a extra week vs West Ham.

      Hey ho. Not to worry. Antonio to Wally it is

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Two free transfers Wally in has to be one of them .

  16. quarry_settling
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any1 know why Hernandez of hull did not play today?

  17. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Marcelo would have been around 7.5m in fpl

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

      He gets forward a bit for a lb.

  18. Mr. Meeseeks

    Is son nailed when he's not jet lagged?

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He just won player of the month..

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

      Fair bit of rotation in the Spurs lineup but I think international break and midweek CL played a major factor.

      Who knows when Kane gets back though!

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

      He was never nailed

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He's their most in-form attacker so you'd imagine so. But they may rotate now and again due to CL, especially with Kane coming back fairly shortly.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      he's not nailed

  21. Z
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What's the debate on Koscielny vs. Mustafi?

    Mus has better attacking stats, just no goals yet. Didn't he hit the bar today too?

  22. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years

    dyballa crack goal

  23. Syd.

    My defence got me 1 point 🙂

  24. Sid07
    • 11 Years

    1) sterling to Walcott
    2) downgrade capoue n do
    Antonio to walcot

    1. Jonty Rhodes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yup makes sense for 1). Wait on capoue and antonio has nice fixtures.

      Please advice me. FT - for Walcott in place of:

        Antonio

  25. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Amdros Townsend is my idea of hell as a player. He's incapable of playing a simple ball without trying to take a player on and beat him first. He tries it over and over again.

    It's about time he realised he's no Eden Hazard..

    Speaking of which....avg position...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/855244/ Crikey

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      And another potential OOP for the away team...got his rewards as well... http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/855243/

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He was a bit unlucky not to get an assist there today. Fryers would have easy buried that.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He could be so much better if he made better choices more often.

    3. Haggis
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, now we're talking.

    What's the story morning glory?

    NZ time - woke up to 2 of my 3 strikers on -1, not ideal Neil

    What to do with Antonio now at RB it seems?
    Is Joe Allen v Hull as worth a look as 4th mid a good replacement short term?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio could bang in a hat-trick from RB, it's only Sunderland

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    which one is best?

    1. antonio and sterling to lallana and walcott -4
    2. Sterling to walcott free
    3. Antonio and capoue to Walcott and 4.5m mid (fletcher, whelan, marney)

    1. Berget
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      2

    2. Jonty Rhodes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yup makes sense for 2). Wait on capoue and antonio as both have nice fixtures.

      Please advice me. FT - for Walcott in place of:

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

      Just Antonio to Walcott

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

      Why not Capoue and Sterling to Allen and Walcott for -4? Atleast that's what I'm doing. Been eyeing a way to cash in on Capoue, and it seems the welshman is a perfect fit.

      In regards to losing Sterling vs. Antonio: I'm aware City faced a tougher opposition than West Ham, but the stats from GW8 aren't convincing me that Sterling is in such a greater form right now compared to Antonio (even as a RB/winger).

      Southampton at home is arguably a tougher matchup than Hull away at this point. Considering the difference in cost, I think this is as good a time as any to lose the City attacking double up - seeing as how many great value options there are in midfield, not in fear of being rotated. Such as an in-form Stanislas having pens at 5,5m.....

  28. Berget
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lallana or Milner for Walcott?

  29. Mr. Meeseeks
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2FT

    Antonio to Chadli
    Coleman to Bellerin

  30. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Annoyingly, despite Antonio being WB, I thought he looked fairly dangerous today.

    Gonna have to ditch though :/

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think they will stick to the 3-5-2 for a few matches now can't have a 7.2 wing back classified as mid with 3 consecutive blanks in my team.
