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

    Sterling is nowhere near dropping tonight.

    Why sell Sterling at all anyways

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Because people be cray

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

      Plenty will want to catch Walcott price rise so Sterling will be making way for many

  2. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Top 10k -- 95% have played their captains so far
    The casuals -- 65% have played their captains so far

    Ibra (C) or Firminho (C) could yet be a massive gain this GW.

  3. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone know the safety score for LMS?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nope

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers 😉

  4. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    28 with holebas and firmino to play.
    Pretty large red arrow I presume??

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That's above the overall average.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Still a red.

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Depends what his overall rank is

    2. PlayPercentage
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Average is 24.
      But there will be a lot of Ibra owners.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah.

  5. Cecil The Lion
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Does anyone know if PVA played as a full-back or winger?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      full back i imagine from starting XI

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

  6. denial

    • 17 Years

    Foster&Antonio for Grant&Walcott??

    1. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      rghats exactly what did. foster > grant last gw and now ant?wal

    2. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Grant might lose his place when butland is fit so could be an issue in a few weeks

  7. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lukaku is a beast.

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

      Yes, but not a troll.

  8. liiusions
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Antonio+Sterling->Walcott+Firmino (got Sanchez) for free or just ditch Antonio for one of them?

    1. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Getting rid of Sterling is madness!!!

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

        People said the same about Ibra. Sometimes it works other times it doesn't

    2. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would do Antonio to Walcott or Firmino for sure

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

    how to know the league code in an already private league to invite more friends?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      League link?

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ask the league owner or work it out by looking for the code in the url and use that with the team I'd of the league owner

      LeagueID-OwnerID

    3. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If you're the administrator, go to Leagues -> Options -> Invite Friends

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        And there's me over thinking it. Didn't even think it could be his own league.

        1. Spencer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Dunno. You might be right.

  10. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hope Aguero , Benteke and KDB are on FPL tonight.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      *FFS*

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        Replied.

  11. More Tragic
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    The 'most captained' segment on the status page is such a delicious sight this week.

    😛

  12. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    dyballa brace. dude is a freakin talent. juve has an eye for talent sometimes got from palermo. higuain overbot imo

  13. Cecil The Lion
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So KDB is on pens after Kun?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Could be anyone. Probably Kolarov.

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Kolarov wasn't on the pitch?

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Nope

          1. Cecil The Lion
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers guys. So we don't know. Still tempted to bring KDB in though

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

              Still a great option regardless

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

      Maybe not now

  14. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I feel a bit weird I am happy with 26 from 7 players including -2 from the man himself.
    Valencia, Redmond, Firmino and Deeney to come.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I have exactly that 4 to play

  15. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    No shots in the box for Alexis Sánchez. 7 penalty box touches.

    Five shots in the box for Sir Theodore Walcott. 9 penalty box touches.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It could be the exact opposite next GW.

      Both are explosive players. Gotta have both with those fixtures and enjoy the ride.

    2. Jay_
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Should have had another 2 goals and 2 bonus, that's 12 points and if being greedy an assist too. Captained him but can't help but feel a great week could have and should have been the best FPL week ever.

    3. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Did you see the game? Sanchez was dropping deep to get the ball way too much. I've seen him play more 'on the shoulder' and look more dangerous when out wide

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, this was a Giroud game, I think Wénger would be the first to tell you that.

  16. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    People obsessing over Sterling here.

    It's time to pay the premium and get KDB in now.

    I'll be saving transfer this gw and working him in with 2 FTs in GW 10. He looked primed for points today.

    1. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm not sure, he's very expensive for someone who you'll never captain. Can have Mane + Firmino + Walcott who all look decent for a few weeks given their fixtures

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

      Don't know how I'll do it.
      But I will.

  17. ANON.
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking about doing Ibra + Snodgrass to 8.5m + Firmino for free. Would leave me with:

    Heaton, Pickford
    Valencia, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Mane, Firmino, Sterling, Walcott, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, 8.5m

    Reckon I should go for it? And which forward under 8.5m?

  18. M.M.A
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Antonio to wally for free ? Do it or wait ?

    1. Sid07
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Do

    2. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wait till after champions league if u can

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wait.

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I did.

  19. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on what my next move should be 🙂 ? .. I'm not planning on any transfers tonight though

    1 FT - 0.7 itb

    Adrian - Jaku
    Monreal - Baines - Francis - Amat - Love
    Eriksen - Walcott - Antonio - Firmino - Redmond
    Aguero - Lukaku - Rashford

    1. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Antonio or Rashford out and also get some bench fodder attack

      1. Le _ Professeur
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate 🙂

  20. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My defence is a joy

    Brings tears to my eyes

  21. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What do I do?

    A)Puncheon to Walcott?
    B) Puncehon to Stanislas
    C) Save FT

    1. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A

  22. Emp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    sell sterling or antonio to walcott, any chance antonio moved back up to striker again since zaza doesnt seem to be doing it?

    1. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Antonio

  23. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I LOVE YOU WALLY

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yip

  24. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Should I get in walcott for a hit or leave it? Got Allen Alexis Firmino Sterling Son

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wait till after CL games. Midfield looks strong enough to me.

  25. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is walcott good enough to replace sanchez on a wc? Will allow me to bring in KDB and sanchez

    1. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Huh

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Replace Sanchez and bring Sanchez in?

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        No bring Sanchez in to replace sanchez

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If you can replace Alexis with himself, Wally and KDB then it seems a no-brainer.

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No replace Sanchez with Joe Allen

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ffs fail. Can I start again and will you all answer me again please

      Allowing me to bring in KDB and COSTA 🙂

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I preferred your first plan.

        I've gone Sanchez-less but it's a nervy business. Want to see KDB up and running a bit before I look to get him in.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          my first plan is a game winner. I can't type sentences today I am really struggling

          Do you have Costa though?

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yes. Costa-Kun-Lukaku, so have to scrimp a bit in midfield.

            Currently Wally-Cout-Antonio-Sterling-Fletch

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

        Yes I would do it

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Cheers Greg

  26. Mr Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Evening lads first time on here
    Got 45pts however still have Austin and Firms to play

    Any tips for next week?

    Thinking West Ham could run riot next week against Sun-der-land

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think you should be telling us based on that score.

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You're the Man!

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Agüero quite boring to own now. Way below par since his suspension.

    1. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      And then boom 20points

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He scored a brace in the game after his suspension

    3. Mr Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I agree but last season he shut me up with 5 against Newcastle

      Write him off at your peril

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Well, there was his dayout in Wales.

  28. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What's with the rush to get rid of Sterling?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm in no rush.

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      this. im actually thinking about getting him in

      4 goals and 3 assists and has great fixtures SOT wba MID cpl bur

      playing alongside Kun KDB Silva you will always likely to get attacking points

  29. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else thinking about getting Bellerin ?

    Literally played as a winger and was a threat all game in an attacking sense

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Scored almost a quarter of my points this GW from 8 players !

    2. marquinhos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      i would but already got mustafi

    3. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Would really like to get him. He's great value for 6.5. Just play him every game and it's a well spent 6.5 over the season

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No money left

    5. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty much like a 6th mid. Might bring him in for Baines in gw10

  30. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Best third striker at 7.1 or under
    A deeney
    B wilson?

    1. Mr Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Austin

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Do you think ? Would love to have the balls to get him just his injury record

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

      Coquelin for a bench fodder?

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Isnt he a mid?
