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

    Is it knee-jerk to use my 1 FT tonight?

    Antonio to Walcott

    To avoid price rise on Walcott mainly, but bit of rage involved with position Antonio played.

    1. Viper
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I'd do it

      1. semiconductor
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Me too

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wait for the Euro midweek matches

    3. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I'd do it now.

      Antonio is being ruined by Billic

      1. Virgil Hilts
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I've got 0.1 spare for the FT

        Exact money after tonight's rise for Walcott.

        By the time the CL matches come round, Walcott could well have risen again or Antonio fallen, leaving me short.

        I hate doing these early transfers but I think the potential price changes before Arsenal's midweek game will force me to do it tonight.

        If Wally gets injured midweek, it won't only me be crying I suppose!

        1. Virgil Hilts
          10 years, 23 days ago

          And thanks for the answers / advice lads, appreciated

    4. semiconductor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Is walcott rising tonight?

      1. Virgil Hilts
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Looks that way

    Wally nailed next 2-3 games and Giroud not likely to rotate since Wally on fire?

    1. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Good question.

      I doubt Walcott will be rotated anytime soon

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

      Their systems working.

      Giroud would disrupt it.

    3. semiconductor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Yes i think so

    4. Le _ Professeur
      10 years, 23 days ago

      So far the current Arsenal line-up have been doing quite well .. so I don't think any player coming back at the moment either Giroud or Ramsey will disrupt it .. So he is safe as long as he keeps his form and is fit 🙂

  3. kalmoffit
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Stones is going to be this season's Huth. Sell him and watch the points roll in.

    1. George Sillett
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Have you seen his first 8 GW points . He is consistent .

  4. BT31 - WE ARE ALL TINKERMEN…
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sterling/Collins to Walcott/Smith with 2FTs?

    Pickford
    Bellerin Collins Holebas
    Sterling Antonio Firmino Capoue
    Zlatan Aguero Lukaku

    Heaton Snodgrass Amat McAuley

  5. semiconductor
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I have exact money for morgan and sterling (i have kun) to vertonghen and walcott. Should i do it? What do u think?

    1. Reedy
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I'd keep Morgan personally

      1. semiconductor
        10 years, 23 days ago

        So just sterling to walcott? I just wanted a spurs def since they only conceded 4 i guess (best defence)

        1. Reedy
          10 years, 23 days ago

          For me yeah. I like Morgan's fixtures and see it as a waste of a transfer - but there's no doubt Vert's a good option too.

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

      I would

      1. semiconductor
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Both transfers?

  6. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 23 days ago

    What would you do with 2 FT on this lot?

    Pickford, Jaku
    Walker, Kos, Lovren, Baines Holebas
    Mane, Walcott, Bolasie, Payet, Capoue
    Ibra, Kun, Diomande

    1. semiconductor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Downgrade baines or lovern and upgrade bolasie or diamonde

      1. Le _ Professeur
        10 years, 23 days ago

        This .. Your DEF is too pricy considering CS are tough to come by this season.

  7. Whats the Huth
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Don't get in Son.

    Get in Alli.

  8. Andy_Social
    10 years, 23 days ago

    56 points - very happy.

    Steklenburg on my bench - devastated!

    1. Whats the Huth

      You should be happy, that's a great score this week

    3. The Left Duke #3
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wow nice score. That would sting alright with Stek but suppose it felt right away to City pre game

  9. Everyday im Schneiderlin

    Best third striker?
    A deeney

    Last Man Standing Update

    Safety score = 15
    Top score = 74
    LMS average = 27.58

    3 games + autosubs to go.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Wow ouch

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 23 days ago

      yay i am safe despite a poor show.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 23 days ago

      22 with Valencia , Kaboul , Redmond , Firmino . Not my best week

    3. Syd.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      44

      should be safe for another week

    4. Gilberto.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Eek. 25 with Capoue, Mané (c) and Deeney to go. Fingers crossed

  11. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    10 years, 23 days ago

    20k >> 30k 🙁

    33pts -4
    Evans 1pt off the bench
    Heaton Capoue Firmino to play.

    Another GW without a CS, I make that 4 in a row.

  12. raff97
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Will Capoue keep rising if he keeps blanking? Logic says no but hes still among the highest scoring mids and casuals might still keep bringing him in... there's no other reason to keep him if hes now reached his peak value. Tempted to do him to Fletcher or Coquelin to fund Antonio to wally

    1. Reedy
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Possibly not now that Allen is stealing his thunder.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 23 days ago

      Since the deadline, 1700 in, 4800 out.

      1. raff97
        10 years, 23 days ago

        thanks. Ill ship then

  13. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Hopefully a Firmino haul Monday to save my gw

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

      This and Deeney brace

      1. fedolefan
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Has Deeney ever scored 2 goals in a match? There's a first time for everything though.

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

          He has, against Villa at least

  14. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Very tempted by

    Antonio >> Arnie/Lallana for GW9

    Who's looking to ship before Sunderland?

    1. ZLATANisKING
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I have lallana so i was tempted to Antonio>joe...going by hia form... But is it ok to ship b4 sunderland ?

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        10 years, 23 days ago

        This all depends if he's playing RB which is highly likely v Sunderland I think.

        1. ZLATANisKING
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Atleast this formation got WHU a cleaney.....but in the first few matches he managed 2goals from pretty much the similar position....but again caresswell is RED!!!! Joe seems to be the new capoue

        2. Karan_G14
          10 years, 23 days ago

          I think he will stick to this formation for a few games it seemed to have worked for them definitely not changing right away.

  15. The Big Fella
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Allen and Karius (for de Gea and Bolasie/Puncheon) or Mustafi and Karius (for Williams and de Gea)?

    1. Reedy
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Hmm. A if pushed but there are a number of 'keepers I'd have over Karius

      1. The Big Fella
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Below 5m with Liverpool's upcoming fixtures? Who? I need cash and no keepers are keeping clean sheets.

        1. Reedy
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Gomes would probably be my first choice...Valdes or Boruc maybe.

          1. Reedy
            10 years, 23 days ago

            Or Grant. I just don't trust 'Pool's defence at all

            1. The Big Fella
              10 years, 23 days ago

              I see what you mean about Liverpool's defence but Bournemouth open up and attack so concede, Valdes is injured a lot and Gomes has got just 12 points this season despite playing every single game for the full 90 minutes. Dire.

              I'll probably go for Butland when he is back as I rate him and Stoke are good for the next 10 games or so. Maybe Foster?

  16. Assisting the assister
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sterling to Ali ? Wondering whether he is the differential for next few weeks. Yes or No?

  17. TotalJustice
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio > Wally & Capou > 4.5 ???

    Foster PickF
    Baines Friend Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Antonio Sterling Capou
    Kun Kaku Deeney

    2FT 0.2 ITB

  18. Transient Anus
    10 years, 23 days ago

    If my defence wasn't so shady I'd be keen on a sneaky Austin to borja this week.

    1. Karan_G14
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Siggy is an option too.

  19. Runaway
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I should get Walcott I guess but I can not make straight swap from Antonio to Walcott. Luckily I have 2 FT.

    Would you do:

    Antonio + Capoue -> Walcott + Allen

    for free ?

    Or any other advice with the team below:

    Pickord Heaton
    Walker Williams Holebas Kelly Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Antonio Capoue
    Kun Lukaku Wilson
    0,4 ITB

    1. Virgil Hilts
      10 years, 23 days ago

      You could do Antonio + Williams --> Walcott + Smith/Pieters instead?

      The freeing up of funds for further investment following week might make you feel a bit better, and Smith/Pieters have good fixtures and are scoring decent points for cheap defenders.

      1. Runaway
        10 years, 23 days ago

        thank you for the good advice!

  20. Transient Anus
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Hull have conceded 17 goals in last 4.
    Next up they face the Walsh messi.

    1. Alnair
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Money on Hull winning with a CS intact, this is the PL after all 😀

  21. Energetics
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Foster
    Valencia Baines Pieters
    Sanchez Walcott Sterling Son
    Aguero Lukaku Rashford

    Pickford Capoue Collins Amat

    0.3 ITB, 1 FT

    A. Capoue to Allen
    B. Collins to Smith
    C. Other
    D. Save

    1. Le _ Professeur
      10 years, 23 days ago

      A imo

  22. Atimis
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sterling/Rashford to Costa/Allen ? Any thoughts ?

    1. Atimis
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Or sell Rashford/Sterling and try to take Son and some cheaper striker ? Need some moves here...

  23. Puyol Pants Up
    10 years, 23 days ago

    3-5-2 with Benteke and Aguero (C) front line.

    lmao.

  24. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Current team:

    Pick Grant
    Coleman Walker Holebas Amat MKelly
    Alexis Capoue Snoddy Firmino Payet
    Lukaku Deeney Kun

    2 FT and 0,1m in bank.

    Thinking of downgrading Capoue to Fletcher to save up 0,5m. Which would help me to upgrade Payet to KdB after the Sunderland game.

    Thougts?

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

    if you were to be given a budget of 9-9.5 million for a middle to long term goalkeeper pairing, who would you get?

    1. Karan_G14
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Cech/Lloris- 4m

    2. Alnair
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Other than the obvious Cech/Lloris + Cheapie, I think Heaton + Grant/Butland rotate VERY well.

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

      Thanks... Let's say if my budget was just 9mill?

  26. The Left Duke #3
    10 years, 23 days ago

    This is not meant to be a token hindsight post but if I had Wally I would have certainly captained over Kun/Sanchez due to the uncertainty of their starts and Wally's form.
    Felt I had to use my 2 FT sorting my DF and wasn't sure who to drop in MD for Wally.
    You win some you lose some I suppose 🙁

  27. George Sillett
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Civilised zone free from MNR

  28. Alnair
    10 years, 23 days ago

    34 and RED arrows around 300k 😀

  29. Legomane
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Cech (MID)

    Walker (bou) Collins (SUN) Pieters (hul)

    Sanchez (MID) Mane (WBA)
    Antonio (SUN) Capoue (swa)

    Aguero (SOU) Lukaku (bur)
    Rashford (che)

    Subs:
    Heaton (EVE) Redmond (mci) Kone (whu) Smith (TOT)

    2FT, 0.4ITB

    Thoughts appreciated?

    Redmond and Collins are on the way out soon.

    Considering

    1. Collins>Lovren + save 1
    2. Mane/Redmond>>Firminio/Milner
    3. Redmond/Collins>Milner/Amat?
    4. Any other ideas? struggling a bit!

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

    Are either of these moves good use of 2 free transfers

    A Ozil to Walcott and Valencia or Baines to Bellerin
    B Sterling to Walcott and Valencia or Baines to Koscielny

    If so keep

    1 Valencia
    2 Baines

    Thanks
