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

    Exact cash for this:
    Baines & Antonio ➡ A.Williams/Stones & Wally

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 23 days ago

  2. Venom Snake
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Wish I had the balls to captain Benteke.

    Still hoping for a hatty

    1. Clump
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Done just that!

    2. some witty pun

  3. Hyperion
    10 years, 23 days ago

    The question is will I ever have a spare transfer for Capoue to Allen?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      10 years, 23 days ago

      who would you drop from your front 8?

      1. Hyperion
        10 years, 23 days ago

    This is the week Ibra scores a brace isn't it 🙂

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I still own him, so no

      1. Gooner Kebab
        10 years, 23 days ago

        arghh.....

    2. Sánchez
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Haha probably

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

        At least he won't be captained by many.

        1. Sánchez
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Ghost teams and casuals

  5. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    So let's see if I understand this game:

    Highest scorer this week: a keeper who played vs the best team in the league and conceded

    Lowest scorer of the week : the best striker in the league who is on penalties and his team got two penalties this week

    Now I Have seen it all.

    1. mcrayeps
      10 years, 23 days ago

      GW8 mystery

  6. Flynny
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Are people investing in walcott tonight before his rise?

    Or waiting till after champs league....

    Either Antonio or snoddy out of my team...

    1. Gooner Kebab
      10 years, 23 days ago

      both still have the fixtures...

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Antonio playing wing back ..

  7. Danstoke82
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Snoddy + Benteke > Walcott + Calum Wilson/Austin ?

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

      That is the definition of chasing last week's points. Keep Benteke. Wilson has Spurs next

      1. Danstoke82
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I somehow need to bring in Walcott though??

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I would, just see how austin does tomorrow

  8. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Anyone actually know what's up with Rose?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Mourning over Jack.

    2. Brap.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      It's a thorny situation

  9. Pep bites Kun
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Appreciate any feedback and advice you might have -
    Foster -> Karius. Is he nailed on as LIV keeper? imo a good move from gw9 on considering fixtures.
    Yay ot Nay?

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

      Foster was fantastic today. No need to get rid.

  10. Whats the Huth
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio to Wally

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

      Am thinking the same. Given Antonio this week to perform, if he doesn't deliver points I'm getting in Theo.

  11. Epic Fail
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Hitting the bar is obviously off target, but should they be treated as such when it comes to BPS?

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

      Imo it should be better than a shot on target.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 23 days ago

        You might be right. As it would have to beat the keeper to hit the post, though I suppose it could be argued that the keeper didn't need to save it as it wasn't going in like a shot on target would.

        Tough one.

    2. Venom Snake
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Refer back to your first 7 words

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      They should have a negative scale based on how far off target the shot was!

  12. Gooner Kebab
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Can I ask if Sterling 'assisted' any of the missed pen?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Silva and Aguero

      1. Gooner Kebab
        10 years, 23 days ago

        cheers Jaks

      2. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 23 days ago

        sterling assisted both?

  13. Jimmy Boy
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Who's bringing in Stoke attackers, and if so who are you choosing?

  14. Optimus.
    10 years, 23 days ago

    If there's any good to come from this gw it's that Chucky is doing poorly so far 😉 maybe we can go a whole week without the uttering of "Is 113 points with 9 to play any good? 🙁 "

    1. Sánchez
      10 years, 23 days ago

      21 from 7. Any good?

      1. Numb
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Awful

        1. Sánchez
          10 years, 23 days ago

          😎

        2. fedolefan
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Then 21 from 8 is?

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Who is Chucky?

    3. Optimus.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      *Disclaimer, I like your work Chucky 😉 🙂

      1. Chucky
        10 years, 23 days ago

    1. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Neither. Redo the WC.

  16. Jafooli
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Well that went well 😕

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Stanislas VC?

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Valencia > Vert for 1pt
        Evans = 5 x YC's
        Double West Brom def
        Baines & Kone no shows
        El Snod shocker
        Defoe & Sterling essentially no shows
        Kun obviously

        Oh and AoA down the swanny.

        All good 😀

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          10 years, 23 days ago

          🙁

          Bumholes.

          1. Jafooli
            10 years, 23 days ago

            Jammy Sanchez 🙂

  17. Pep bites Kun
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Appreciate any feedback and advice you might have -
    Foster -> Karius. Is he nailed on as LIV keeper? imo a good move from gw9 on considering fixtures.
    Yay OR* Nay? (very new at this:-))

    1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Nay. Wait till Pool get a CS or 2
      Foster gets a lot of save piints, gets CS occasionally, is in line for more Bonus points since WBA don't score as much as Pool and is cheaper.

      Definitely Foster a better choice

      1. Pep bites Kun
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Thanks - good advice!

  18. Venom Snake
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Chadli has 4 goals in 5 games

    Maybe I should hop on..

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      10 years, 23 days ago

      So many value players at the moment. Chadli is one of them & has a decent goal scoring record

  19. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Honest question.

    If pep were to take Aguero off pens, who would be in line? Silva or Sterling? Maybe Nolito. I'm assuming KDB would also be off since he missed.

    This isn't meant to antagonise anyone

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Maybe Kolarov?

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Ohk. I think i remember him taking it once last season

    2. Sánchez
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Won't happen.

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Yea. I'm just curious about 'what if'. Thats 3 missed pens from him this season for club and country. Around Once every 5 games

        1. Brap.
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Actually 4 yeah

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

      Kolarov.

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

    Pva out this week. Stoke or bournemouth defender?

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

      Also have PvA and considering transfer out. Only just got in, why was he subbed off? Probably Smith from Bournemouth.

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Stoke.

  21. Karan_G14
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio worth keeping at Rwb?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Maybe wait until the game he's playing in is over.

  22. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Have Walcott(c) but not much more; 36 with Heaton, Britos, Firmino & Ibrahimovic left.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I feel for you man

  23. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    so Antonio on the Right wing:
    best FT:
    1 antonio > wally
    2 sterling > wally

    *Antonio plays SUN next though
    3-4-2-1
    reid - kouyate - ogbonna
    ANTONIO - noble - obiang - cresswell
    lanzini - payet
    zaza

  24. Shrimpy
    10 years, 23 days ago

    On 12 with a -8, can only laugh really.

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Walcott managed to hold onto a bap in the end. Thank fook.

  26. Harper_

    "The decision has now been made that Michail Antonio will play as a winger after originally starting the season as a right-back." - David Sullivan, 2016

  27. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    antonio almost!

  28. Jafooli
    10 years, 23 days ago

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Nope, banned for a game....

  29. thep025
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Is Sterling->Walcott advisable?

  30. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Watching West Ham corners after selling Antonio isn't healthy.
