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

    Valencia-->Cresswell coming up

  2. JIM BOB
    10 years, 23 days ago

    In a draft league would you rather have:

    A.) Antonio

    B.) Arnautovic

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

      B

    2. Rake
      10 years, 23 days ago

      B

    3. Les Bleus
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Probably B considering A plays in defence from time to time.

    4. Pack The Ripper
      10 years, 23 days ago

      A) as Sunderland coming up. Then, what do I know

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

    I need 3 goals from holebas and 9 from firmino

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 23 days ago

      The firmino bit couldnt be more accurate

      Cholevas can go do one

    2. Gooner Kebab
      10 years, 23 days ago

      and a hattie from Ibra

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Of own goals of course 😉

    3. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Hahahaha. Good one.

  4. Pack The Ripper
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Eurgh I benched Foster for Pickford this week, expecting Spurs to score a few!

    1. Pariße
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I expected Foster to save a few. 🙂

      1. mcrayeps
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Same lol, almost 8 pts before alli score

  5. Pariße
    10 years, 23 days ago

    2FTs: Koné & Antonio > Vertonghen & Walcott. Sound good?

    Lol I wish. it's actually Bolasie instead of Walcott.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Game is young. Antonio may well do something

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Yeah, but he's the only one I can actually downgrade to upgrade the defence, haven't watched a second of the game, just saw he's at RWB again.

        1. InSaneMan-e
          10 years, 23 days ago

          He is indeed unfortunately
          But with Sunderland up next...
          I'll give him at least 1 more

          1. Pariße
            10 years, 23 days ago

            That's the thing, the move can easily backfire, if he's put on the wing again, especially wih those fixtures. Tricky.

  6. bici
    10 years, 23 days ago

    If Costa's price was 13.0, everyone would be talking that he is the most essential fantasy football player.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      How does that work?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Lol I'm reyt confused

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

        I read it as shorthand for saying that a player's price often creates a perception of value that doesn't correlate to his recent performances.

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

      He's easily more essential that the 13.1 million guy.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No ways
      Costa is in the form of his life.
      Aguero is not.

      When Aguero is on form, he's defo the most essential player

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Not true

      I think when someone has scored 100+ in 130+ games

      Whether your name is sergio kun aguero ot adama diomande is irrelevant. You are essential no matter what with that record.

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

        How about 39 in 62?

    5. Pariße
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Costa's popularity to do a Costa Concordia, once he gets the next yellow 🙂

      1. mcrayeps
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Just prepare for the subs when costa get another yc 😉 his price will get higher

  7. Sol
    10 years, 23 days ago

    1FT 0.3 ITB

    pickford jak
    Evan Amat Williams Walker 3.9*

    A) Evan > Adam Smith
    B) Jak > Grant
    C) Save and just play Amat

    Cheers

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

    Looking like next week is either a boring Evans->Stoke defender or Save. Not seeing a need to panic anywhere

    1. Ravager
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Probably going to shift one of my keepers myself

  9. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Feghouli has to play...

  10. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    10 years, 23 days ago

    What a s**** day!

    Being a City fan/fantasy player today is gash!

  12. Jay_

    Reid and Kouyate nullifying Palace strongest traits.

    1. Total Foot 5
      10 years, 23 days ago

      so far u liking antonio on the right wing?

      debating if dropping him or sterling for wally given antnio has Sun next

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 23 days ago

        If it stays wing backs then Cressswell will be much better value.

  13. BrockLanders
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Brunt came on as a sub today.

    *MASSIVE OOP KLAXON*

  14. The Mighty Hippo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    It's great to see Cresswell back in the line up for West Ham - I had him in my team for most of last season and he would have been in my GW1 draft if he hadn't been injured. Definitely someone to keep an eye on - currently priced at 5.3M.

  15. Tree House
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sorry revised question..

    To fund Antonio to Theo:

    A) Evans to Cameron/pieters (which?)

    B) jaku to grant

    C) capoue to Allen

    Cheers!

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Only get rid of capoue if your replacing him with a 4.3 mid

    1. Eden Hazardous
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Pwd - Aguero as said below

  16. Jafooli
    10 years, 23 days ago

    13 goals in 3 games for Marshall.

    Surely Jaku will get another chance now (7 goals in 5 games)?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 23 days ago

      You would think so.

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

      For sure Jaku should be back unless the manager has lost his balls!

    3. HurriKane
      10 years, 23 days ago

      was surprised he got dropped.. had a good start to the season

      put in a motm performance against man united in his last match which hull lost in extra time

    4. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He shouldn't have been dropped. Was playing well

    5. Somalion
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I was making a similar argument earlier to some friends. Since Marshall came in Hull's defence are an absolute disaster (can't blame him on everything, of course, but maybe Jaku was a better organiser)

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 23 days ago

        yup, didn't really deserve to get dropped in the first place.....

        1. Somalion
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Agree, disastrous decision.

    6. Jafooli
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Agreed all above.....

  17. PlayPercentage
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Any Steklenburg owners on here?
    17pts must be a record for a goalkeeper. No CS either!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I wish!

      Great performance

      1. PlayPercentage
        10 years, 23 days ago

        A crazy game at the Etihad today.

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

      Myhill got 17 a couple of seasons back

  18. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I have really been put off Snodgrass after the performance from Hull today.

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

      I bought him and Kosc in. Desperate stuff.

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

        Really poor performance from Snoddy!

        1. JAC THE CAT
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Yep, well off the pace.

    2. Karan_G14
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Same here really thinking of getting Allen in place of him.

    3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Oh really??

      Tell me more about the fact that you've been put of by a player who plays for a releagtion team

      1. JAC THE CAT
        10 years, 23 days ago

        No thanks

    4. I Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Just brought him in and feel obliged to give him at least one more chance. Wasn't expecting much at Bournemouth but that was a woeful performance.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        10 years, 23 days ago

        If you've just got him then I can see why you would keep him.

        Needs to pick himself up as he was the shining light in that team.

    5. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He's just 5.7m. There's not much in that bracket to choose from anyway. Allen? Look at his run to start the season: 1,1, 2, 2, 2.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I'm thinking that price range in midfield might not be worthwhile for my first 11

  19. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Shocking game week but it was always going to be eventful. Next week is another game week just forget it and start again *BANG!!!*

  20. Jay_
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Saints are in Milan Thurdsay, good news for Aguero/Sterling.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 23 days ago

      KDB too. Although he about be rested

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Thats so weird.

      Saints playing at san siro haha

  21. fedolefan
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sunderland or not, Antonio to Walcott looks like a must make transfer.

  22. I Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Capoue -> Allen anyone? Think it's time to bank that 0.4m.

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

      Well done!

      1. I Member
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Haha I didn't make the move unfortunately. Contemplating it now.

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Only bank if ur replacing with a 4.3 mid

      1. I Member
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I would use Allen as my 4th mid and downgrade Snodgrass to a 4.3/4.4

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sánchez > Walcott a good move?

    Could do alot with the extra funds.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Not a move I would make.

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

  28. FPL Puppy
    10 years, 23 days ago

    A) Sterling -> Walcott - (FT)
    B) Sterling + Lukaku -> Walcott + Costa (-4)
    C) Sterling + Snodgrass -> Walcott + Allen (-4)
    D) Sterling + Snodgrass + Lukaku -> Walcott + Allen + Costa (-8)

    1. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Why get rid of Lukaku?
      A or B
