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

    Tekkers having pens is always a bad thing, even the ones hes scored ive seen have been terrible.

    Players played: 9 (including captain, though 2 with second half to go so it could get worse)

    Points: 6

    9. rdpx
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Thank you all for your kind words in this time of difficulty.

      I also had McAuley coming in off the bench with 6 points until Alli scored in the dying seconds.... so it will be 8 after autosubs, as he will only get 2 now, still a much needed 25% of my score and one of my four top scoring players.

      Of course I haven't looked at my score yet with Aguero captain I thought I'd wait till Friday.

    11. Total Foot 5

      go pray and do some voodoo on the side

    Benteke currently on -4 for me.. The joy 😐

    1. Revival

      Upside is it can't get any worse

      1. Xuey

        He could get a red :O

        1. rdpx
          10 years, 23 days ago

          for punching the goalkeeper in frustration after missing another penalty

  4. Danstoke82
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Snodgrass + Benteke/Lukaku > Walcott + Austin?

    Have to downgrade a striker to bring in Theo.

    1. ZimZalabim
      10 years, 23 days ago

      wait till friday

      1. Danstoke82
        10 years, 23 days ago

        If Theo is rising then I'll have to act swiftly.

  5. Teror
    10 years, 23 days ago

    A. Costa + 5.5 mid

    B. Deeney + Sterling

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 23 days ago

      costa plus allen

      1. ZimZalabim
        10 years, 23 days ago

        or stanislas/king

  6. thep025
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Do i do Sterling->Walcott....Walcott seems set to rise tonight

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Can't you find someone else to sell. Sterling too good to sell.

      1. thep025
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Not really....Sanchez,Firmino only ones.....

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Wait then. Firmino could get injured or sent off tomorrow and there's your transfer.

          1. Too Mane Men
            10 years, 23 days ago

            I'd be impressed if did considering he plays on Monday.

  7. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    A) Deeney
    B) Wilson

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

    Benteke double costing me in ruining my over 2.5 goals bet

  9. sambyy
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Aguero C and Benteke... This couldve been a lot better.

  10. Nomar
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Starting to think Costa is more essential than Aguero, you know.

  11. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 23 days ago

    My early thoughts are

    Sterling -> Ali

    I want some Spurs in my team

    1. ***00tennis***
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wouldn't put you off that Jac....

    I can remember when you would squeeze as many penalty takers into your fantasy squad as possible.

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

      I don't mind the Kun one as much, but the Benteke miss has deeply upset me.

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 23 days ago

      The sheer amount of pens this season.... nuts

      1. Nomar
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Most of them missed too!

  13. Danstoke82
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Repost;

    Snodgrass + Benteke/Lukaku > Walcott + Austin?

  14. Jafooli
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Zaza looks the real deal.

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

      Absolute bargain. Great business.

      Could show a few of these dodgy penalty takers a thing or two as well.

    2. SW6
      10 years, 23 days ago

      The new Totti

    3. Forjaz
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Quite the opposite. He's West Hams worst player.

      1. Forjaz
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Missed the irony. Sorry!

        1. Jafooli

          😉

    4. George Sillett

      His agent must be pissing himself.

    5. The Fantastic Mr Fox

      Players whose last name starts with Z

      (no idea what the answer is)

      1. Valencia's Left Foot

        Fernandez

        1. Valencia's Left Foot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Haha, forget that. I misread as ends in z.

  15. gonzalocampos
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Zaza is the worst player in the FPL

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I captained Aguero and own Benteke whilst my brother captained KDB

    1. fedolefan

      The Brothers Grimm.

    2. RoysCallerAnne

      Your mother must be so proud.

  17. Toby Lerone

    So.... Aguero performing well in gw8 has been put to bed

  18. TheTinman
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Benteke bonus pts?

    1. Pierce34
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Currently on -11 BPS.

      1. TheTinman
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Might scrape one with winning goal?

        1. Pierce34
          10 years, 23 days ago

          We can only hope...

  19. Belsunz
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Whoever negotiated that 20m fee for Zaza if deal becomes permanent is now laughing his socks off in Turin...

  20. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio cross fingers to score...

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

      Is he doing anything at all, I'm not watching.

      1. ***00tennis***
        10 years, 23 days ago

        hit X-bar 10' ago

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 23 days ago

      hope so

  21. Differentiator
    10 years, 23 days ago

    This gameweek is so bad that I'm tempted to reward myself with a 12 point mini wildcard. AGUERO and BENTEKE need to go, for penalty misses alone.

    No kneejerk here.

    1. some witty pun
      10 years, 23 days ago

      ...yes it is a kneejerk

    2. rivercityransom
      10 years, 23 days ago

      that's why you're the differentiator

  22. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Quick, stick a fiver on Benteke to score.

    All or nothing FTW

  23. Clump
    10 years, 23 days ago

    So glad I didn't giggle @ Kun captainers.
    Tekkers (c) here 🙂
    Oh dear.

  24. Revival

    Is James Milner immune from the penalty miss craze thats going around then?

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

      Yes. He likes digestive biscuits too.

      1. Clump
        10 years, 23 days ago

        He dips them in his tea whilst building airfield models.

        1. RoysCallerAnne

          Whilst watching the antiques roadshow. In his jammies.

  25. rivercityransom
    10 years, 23 days ago

    son or alli?

  26. SW6
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I know it's bad, but having a strong week when so many on here have had awful ones just makes it immeasurably sweeter..

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

      I'm having a good one too. It's a pity because I haven't seen one Score Check? post yet 😉

  27. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Anyone here have Benteke, KDB, Aguero(c) and pick Son over Wally this week?

    1. TheTinman
      10 years, 23 days ago

      You?

  28. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    How's Antonio getting on?

    1. rivercityransom
      10 years, 23 days ago

      his body is wondering around, but i think it's just reflex at this point...

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

        Easy transfer decision for next week I suppose...

  29. Sgt Frank Drebin
    10 years, 23 days ago

    12 from 11 at the moment. My worst gameweek ever 😀

  30. HurriKane
    10 years, 23 days ago

    In real life Payet Benteke would have been a nice combo right ?

    Similar mould to Payet/Giroud in euro's
