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.

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

      Snodgrass + Benteke/Lukaku > Walcott + Austin?

      Have to downgrade a striker to bring in Theo.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        wait till friday

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years

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

    8. Teror
      • 11 Years

      A. Costa + 5.5 mid

      B. Deeney + Sterling

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

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

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

          1. Hect.OR 98th
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

            1. Too Mane Men
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

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

    10. Connor's Calling

    11. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Benteke double costing me in ruining my over 2.5 goals bet

    12. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    13. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    14. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      My early thoughts are

      Sterling -> Ali

      I want some Spurs in my team

      1. ***00tennis***
        • 9 Years

        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
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Most of them missed too!

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

      Repost;

      Snodgrass + Benteke/Lukaku > Walcott + Austin?

    17. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Zaza looks the real deal.

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

        The new Totti

      3. Forjaz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Forjaz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Missed the irony. Sorry!

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 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

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

      Similar mould to Payet/Giroud in euro's
