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

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years

  3. Hyperion
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      who would you drop from your front 8?

      1. Hyperion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Capoue as I just said.

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

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I still own him, so no

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        arghh.....

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Haha probably

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        At least he won't be captained by many.

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Ghost teams and casuals

  5. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 9 Years

      GW8 mystery

  6. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      both still have the fixtures...

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

        Antonio playing wing back ..

  7. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Snoddy + Benteke > Walcott + Calum Wilson/Austin ?

    1. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I somehow need to bring in Walcott though??

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would, just see how austin does tomorrow

  8. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years

    Anyone actually know what's up with Rose?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mourning over Jack.

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

      It's a thorny situation

  9. Pep bites Kun
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Foster was fantastic today. No need to get rid.

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

    Antonio to Wally

    1. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Imo it should be better than a shot on target.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Refer back to your first 7 words

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  12. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Silva and Aguero

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        cheers Jaks

      2. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        sterling assisted both?

  13. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

  14. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      21 from 7. Any good?

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

        Awful

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          😎

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

          Then 21 from 8 is?

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who is Chucky?

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years

      Neither. Redo the WC.

  16. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Well that went well 😕

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stanislas VC?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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
          9 years, 6 months ago

  17. Pep bites Kun

    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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks - good advice!

  18. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Chadli has 4 goals in 5 games

    Maybe I should hop on..

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  19. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe Kolarov?

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Won't happen.

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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.
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Actually 4 yeah

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov.

  20. how now brown cow

    1. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stoke.

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

    Antonio worth keeping at Rwb?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  22. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      I feel for you man

  23. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nope, banned for a game....

  29. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Sterling->Walcott advisable?

  30. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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