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.

    The joy of my GW so far:

    Transfers out: CHADLI LUKAKU
    Transfers in: SON BENTEKE

    Captain choice: AGUERO

    Almost transferred in: WALCOTT

    Penalties missed by my players: 2

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

    Points: 6

      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.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        He could get a red :O

        1. rdpx
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          for punching the goalkeeper in frustration after missing another penalty

  4. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Snodgrass + Benteke/Lukaku > Walcott + Austin?

    Have to downgrade a striker to bring in Theo.

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      wait till friday

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

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

  5. Teror
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A. Costa + 5.5 mid

    B. Deeney + Sterling

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      costa plus allen

      1. ZimZalabim

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

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

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

          1. Too Mane Men
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

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

  7. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A) Deeney
    B) Wilson

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Benteke double costing me in ruining my over 2.5 goals bet

  9. sambyy
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

  10. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

  11. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My early thoughts are

    Sterling -> Ali

    I want some Spurs in my team

    1. ***00tennis***
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months 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
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Most of them missed too!

  13. Danstoke82

    Repost;

  14. Jafooli

    Zaza looks the real deal.

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

      Absolute bargain. Great business.

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

    2. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The new Totti

    3. Forjaz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Forjaz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Missed the irony. Sorry!

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

  15. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Zaza is the worst player in the FPL

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I captained Aguero and own Benteke whilst my brother captained KDB

    1. fedolefan

  18. TheTinman

    Benteke bonus pts?

    1. Pierce34

      Currently on -11 BPS.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Might scrape one with winning goal?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years

          We can only hope...

  19. Belsunz
    • 12 Years

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

  20. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years

    Antonio cross fingers to score...

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. ***00tennis***
        • 10 Years

        hit X-bar 10' ago

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years

      hope so

  21. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      ...yes it is a kneejerk

    2. rivercityransom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      that's why you're the differentiator

  22. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Quick, stick a fiver on Benteke to score.

    All or nothing FTW

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

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Yes. He likes digestive biscuits too.

  26. SW6
    • 13 Years

    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
      • 16 Years

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

    1. rivercityransom

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

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    Similar mould to Payet/Giroud in euro's
