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

    A hit to get sanchez (C) and wilson in for lukaku and sterling paid off this week. Obviously thinking just walcott in for sterling would have been better, but see Sanchez as a crucial player to have going forwards.

  3. Rhinos

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I have only 3 left

      Does that count?

  4. OldSchool
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Yeah Antonio drops like stone and plays wing back.

    What are u lads expecting Avg score to be???

    1. Rhinos
      10 years, 23 days ago

    Is Ville Ronke past his prime? Last 2 GWs have been awful

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

      43 with Heaton is quite good.

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

        Red arrow unless everyone blanks on MNF

    2. BB-8
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He got in Theo for Antonio. Wouldn't call that awful

    3. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      43 in this GW is great.

    4. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Who cares. Stop obsessing over him.

  7. TorresMagic™

    Bonus updated.

  8. Chucky

    Baps Out. Pieters 2 🙂 My first cs in 4 weeks 😀

    1. kalmoffit
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Was killer three weeks ago when he lost it about 90+3

  9. BB-8
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Is Puncheon to Allen with a FT a no brainer ?

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Good move.

  10. Karan_G14
    10 years, 23 days ago

    What are people doing with Hull city players worth keeping Snodgrass ?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I'm keeping Jaku; possible he could get his place back. Not buying anyone else

    2. kalmoffit
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Bournemouth is top team, so just a hiccup. Other opinions are available.

  11. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Pickford Jaku
    Walker Clyne Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Walcott Sterling Firmino Capoue
    Kun Lukaku Deeney
    1FT 0.2M ITB

    Any ideas. I'm fine with the front 8 for now so thinking Evans to Pieters/Cameron or saving.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 23 days ago

      Midweek will probably give you the answer.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Cheers TM. Yeah things always change after Europe matches

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 23 days ago

    why are people selling sanchez?

    1. how now brown cow
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He's useless, clearly

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I don't know anyone that's sold him.

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Ticked he only got 1. Assist today. Honestly don't understand it.

    4. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Because of how you kept on grumbling about him last week.

  13. how now brown cow
    10 years, 23 days ago

    no baps for aguero!

    1. Mario Balofail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Thank God, could be negative so it would ruin it more

  14. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    2 free transfers and team is

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Baines Lovren
    McAuley Amat
    Ozil Sterling Firmino Antonio Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Benteke

    Thinking of -4 with
    Sterling to Walcott
    Antonio to Arnie
    Baines to Kos

    Are these moves worth -4

  15. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Price rises stil around 2:10am UK time right?

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

      2.15

      1. fedolefan
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Any guess on when Walcott will double rise in price? Before or after champs league?

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

          9% an hour so it depends on who is patient vs tonight.

  16. Cecil The Lion
    10 years, 23 days ago

    20 with Holebas, Austin, Firmino and Zlatan (c) to play.

    That's actually a bit of a gloat this GW isn't it?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Nobody likes a show off.

      1. Cecil The Lion
        10 years, 23 days ago

        🙁

    2. Berget
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Same thing. -12 thanks to KDB and Kun.

  17. Jay_
    10 years, 23 days ago

    ----------------Pickford-----------------
    --------Clyne Stones Holebas------
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Walcott
    ------Aguero Lukaku Deeney-------
    ------------------------------------------------
    Foster Capoue Amat Wilson. 0.4itb.

    Clyne, Stones and Holebas can hold their own, fixture wise for the next month or so but I am sick of Stones. Got off lightly with Spurs cleanie going today, Walker was on for 3 bonus. Sterling is going to drop tonight and I will lose value. Ideal world I want Costa for Deeney but just can't afford unless Snodgrass comes in for Sterling. So with all that in mind, what looks best here?

    A) Save FT
    B) Sterling > Son (Leaves MITB for Stones >Walker/Mustafi)
    C) Sterling&Deeney > Snodgrass&Costa -4 (exact cash but feels rushed)
    D) Wilson > Pieters (Strengthens defence with Holebas nearing suspension)
    E) Anything else?

    1. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Costa has 4 YC + united next game. So would go B.

    2. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      A.

      Not sure about Snodgrass after that hammering.

    3. Jay_
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Cheers lads. Hate losing money and having to rush.

    4. Berget
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Despite it sounds funny, Stones is the best def available at 5.0.

  18. ANON.
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Wrong time to bring in Costa right? With 4 yellows and Man U up next then Southampton, Everton, Boro, Spurs, Man City

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No. Bring him in. He'll probably get a yellow next game anyway.

      1. ANON.
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I know he'll probably get one on purpose so he misses cup game, but fixtures arent great

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 23 days ago

          You don't think he can score in all those fixtures?

          1. ANON.
            10 years, 23 days ago

            Of course he can. For me it's whether to drop Ibra to him. I think some of th cheaper strikers could almost match Costa over next 6

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

      Trollaku looks better tbh

      1. ANON.
        10 years, 23 days ago

        It's whether to drop Ibra to him for me. Already have Lukaku. Don't think I'll do it, just wanted some opinions

  19. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    So how did Antonio play? Time to ditch him?

    1. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      There are reasons to retain him, but you will almost certainly be asking the same question next week too.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Time to ditch. At the RB position he's no way near as good as prospect which is a real shame.

    3. kalmoffit
      10 years, 23 days ago

      If Payet wasn't overrated, could have set him in for certain goal.

  20. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Any fortunate Stanislas owners on here?

    1. white lightning
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I nearly got him in for a hit removing Snodgrass but didn't think it was worth a hit haha.

  21. M.M.A
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio to ?
    A) cout
    B) wally
    C) son
    D) arnautovic

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wally

  22. sergioaguero67
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Costa or Lukaku?
    Please help.

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      10 years, 23 days ago

      How longs a piece of string?

    2. Limbo
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Both

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Lukaku for now, Better fixture next week and Costa is a yellow waiting to happen against United so he serves his ban in the cup

  23. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Regardless of sons bench appearance today, I really want to get him in. However it means I have to do one sideways move.... what do you all think of the below?

    Antonio and mane

    To

    Son and Firmino

    1. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Yes.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        10 years, 23 days ago

        It's just that sideways mane to firmino that puts me off.....

        Frustrating to waste a transfer doing that, but there's no other option I fancy as an Antonio replacement....

    2. how now brown cow
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I considering PVA & Antonio to Pieters & Son for -4.

      Good fixture for Antonio next week, but I'll have the exact 0.6 I need burning a hole in my pocket.

      Liverpool midfield is tricky, but I still would choose Mane out of all of them.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Yea your moves sound spot on, you should go for it.

        But yes mane is my pick of the Liverpool bunch too. But there's no other way for me to get son in.....

        Head scratcher.

  24. FISSH
    10 years, 23 days ago

    shall I sell Sterling or Coutinho to Wally?

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

      Neither until midweek.

    2. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Why sell sterling.

  25. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Keep Son or sell?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Keep for sure

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

      What kind of parent are you? You should be ashamed.

    3. Optimus.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      1 game 1 point, time to sell 😆

    I said Walcott a few weeks ago, the reply, Capoue says hi!!!

    1. Limbo
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Well done.

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Congrats

    3. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Surely, you'd understand the sentiments if you've been burned by Walcott in the past? If not, well, there's nothing to argue about.

    4. Lizard Lips
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Crazy isn't it. The short termists.

      1. Lizard Lips
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Barkley in for Firmino bandwagon too.

        1. Mr. Meeseeks
