Saturday’s events conclude at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace host Jurgen Klopp’s buoyant Liverpool side.

Goals certainly look on the agenda – Palace are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Klopp’s defence are without a shut-out on the road in ten away trips.

Christian Benteke will carry the Eagles’ threat against his former club, while Liverpool’s likely benefactors are far more difficult to pin down.

Philippe Coutinho heads into the encounter having earned more than 174,000 transfers in as the most popular target ahead of Gameweek 10.

However, James Milner won’t be featuring on the scoresheet: he misses out having missed training this week with a virus. Alberto Moreno comes in at left-back for the visitors – a potential weak point that will no doubt be targeted by Alan Pardew’s men.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    - on Alexis’ form through the middle
    "He is doing extremely well and I believe that he enjoys it. But we can as well play 4-4-2 with two through the middle as well, because Mesut can play in behind or on the flank. I will see. Let’s not create problems that we don’t have at the moment."

      Avg formation post Giroud introduction is a map I would like to see

    10 years, 9 days ago

    Damn, just realised I changed my (c) & (vc) from Walcott & Aguero to Ozil & Aguero this morning when I heard about Wally's injury. That went well.

  3. JabbaWookiee

    Musa definitely looks worth a punt now. Just worried about starts and game time. Anyone else considering him?

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Rotation on the cards

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        For cups/league or randomly?

  4. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Any sanchez owners considering to sell him for City attack or any others..

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      It's a no from me

    2. Styles_X
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I'm tempted to go for KdB looking at fixtures.

    3. Shifty
      10 years, 9 days ago

      O

    4. PEP G
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Nope

  5. Jay_
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Prodl 29
    Britos Amarabat 26
    Gomes Holebas 25

    Does that work out 0 or 1 bonus for Holebas?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      0 null nix

    2. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I have bad news...

    3. michudagawd
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Duck egg.

    4. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      0. Three players have achieved enough for bonus before it gets down to his level.

    5. hafakilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      0 🙁

    6. Jay_
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Cheers all

  6. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Judging by the week so far i think Kouyate has a great chance of a brace tomorrow, maybe even a hat-trick looms for Kanté.

  7. Aarono23
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Guessing sterling to continho is a transfer on the cards for most people that have him

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Did it 11:29 this morning

    2. hafakilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Also Son to Coutinho for me

    3. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Did it last week

  8. fedolefan
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Was looking forward to a great weekend after the Sanchez and Aguero show but Coutinho has pretty much hit me on the forehead with a steel chair and then power bombed me through a table to bring me down to earth.

    1. PvA
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Love that reference 😆

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      10 years, 9 days ago

      you can't have them all

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Delete or decay??

      1. fedolefan
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Had to google that. Don't watch it much at all these days.

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Matt Hardy has gone so bad it's amazing. the Hardys are the only good thing in tna, but are hilarious

  9. rdamjan
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Ibra to Austin
    Redmond to KDB

    2ft

    Looks good right?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      But Ibra plays Swansea

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        But he hasn't scored since GW4

      2. rdamjan
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Today he was my captain against Burnley. Burnley.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 9 days ago

          😀

          I did the exact same moves last GW for free. Regretting removing Redmond a bit. You should see how he does tomorrow. If you can't afford to wait then go for it!

    2. Cok3y5murf
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Redmond hasn't even played yet

      1. rdamjan
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I know.

        1. Heavy Data
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Ive transferred him in already in place of Mate. It will be fine im sure :/

        2. Cok3y5murf
          10 years, 9 days ago

          So what's the reasoning behind this move when he's in good form and has Hull next?

          1. rdamjan
            10 years, 9 days ago

            I cant afford double SOU, if I bring Austin in...

            1. Cok3y5murf
              10 years, 9 days ago

              That makes no sense. Good luck.

          2. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 9 days ago

            He is replacing 1 player with 2

  10. Heavy Data
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Ive lost my patience with this week and have already done 4 transfers for next week. Monreal, Mane, Mata and Grant out. Stones, Coutinho, Redmond and Heaton in. I might live to regret it but **** it.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Someone needs to cool down

  11. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    10 years, 9 days ago

    This has probably been said a thousand times but Stirling out for cout? Boro at home the only thing troubling me. Would take out Walcott but lack of funds plus he loves scoring against the scum

  12. F4L
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Owning Mane Coutinho and Firmino is so fun to watch

    1. Z
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Bet it's fun watching 2 CB and 2 DM's getting all the goals

      1. F4L
        10 years, 9 days ago

        mane and firm will come good in this second half

    2. Kroosin'
      10 years, 9 days ago

      ...the liverpool games.

  13. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    I'm sick of failed captaincy every week. I have a good overall rank solely down to what must be a fairly good squad because my captain picks suck.

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      10 years, 9 days ago

      who did you go for smurf?

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Firm. Don't get me wrong I know there is still a half of football but I'd been on alexis all week and just tried to be different.

        Every week I either pick the obvious or the maverick and it fails what ever I chose.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I generally find I have good captain, crap team, or good team crap captain

      Never both though

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I think i'm just going for the poll leader every week now Smurf. Doing my own thing doesn't work.

  14. Boydinho
    10 years, 9 days ago

    If only Leicester had just one nailed on viable options the punt on offensively. Muse @ 7 looks tempting, but so much rotation coming up.

    1. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I like to rotate them with Radiohead.

  15. HuttonDressedasLahm
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Can we get a new chip next season?
    I want a "joker" chip where you can change something in your team after games, like captain or subs etc
    Not transfers though obviously

    1. Boydinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I hope you are joking

    2. fedolefan
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I also want a chip where you can make unlimited transfers mid-match like Firmino to Coutinho and then Capoue to Gundongan.

  16. Champione
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Non Heaton owners; we just have to get him, don't we - even for a hit? FT tonight, but maybe other pressing issues make it a hit next week

    1. Danstoke82
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yes, at his price he is essential in my view

    2. Brap.
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Last of the No Heatons

  17. PEP G
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Should I be worried about Firmino?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Until I sell him, yes

  18. tm245
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Good save.

  19. Jay_
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Best Deeney replacement?

    A) Austin (hul, LIV, EVE, cpl, MID)

    B) Musa (WBA, wat, MID, sun, MNC

    C) Wilson (SUN, sto, ars, LIV, bur)

    1. Boydinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Austin for me. Too much rotation with Musa i expect

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      C for two then re assesss

    3. Styles_X
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Wilson

  20. camarozz
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Don't know bout ye guys but I'm getting tired of firmino. 3 goals and nothing frm him yet. Maybe one pool mid is enough. Coutinho.

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 9 days ago

      behave yourself, complaining because he didn't score in 45 minutes

    2. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      The problem with Liverpool mids is, if you hop off one on to the other, its the one you've just got rid of whose turn it is to get the points.

      1. camarozz
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Maybe sterling to coutinho. Should have done it this morn but bottled it. Have 2fts for nxt wk tho.
        And sanchez capt so can't complain to much.

    3. Ravager
      10 years, 9 days ago

      The last time I saw this. Firmino got a brace the next game...

  21. Bubz
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Deeney on 9bps with his assist 😆

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I'll take 5 over 2 and -9bps.

      1. Sánchez
        10 years, 9 days ago

        This.

      2. Bubz
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I hope he keeps the assist

    2. Lyonnais
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He's been Troll Deeney for me 😆

      I'm looking at Deeney out for Austin.

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Same

  22. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    How is that not a card for MacArthur?

    1. The Enlightener
      10 years, 9 days ago

      What I was thinking

  23. Danstoke82
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Thinking of switching to 3-5-2 to bring in Coutinho. Has to be today to afford before another Cout rise.

    Son + C.Wilson > Coutinho + £5.7ATT (Okazaki?)

    Current team
    Heaton
    Lovren Kosc Holebas
    Sanchez Firmino Walcott Son
    Aguero Lukaku CWilson

    Subs; Pickford, Allen, Amat, MWilson

    Worth a -4?

  24. HuttonDressedasLahm
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Theo to Coutinho?
    I'd then have triple Liverpool mids!

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Toying with 3 myself, the way they are going it seems like a good idea

  25. Back on the horse
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Switched (C) from Sanchez to Deeney this morning. still doing alright, luckily

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I did the opposite yesterday, after listening to the scoutcast bit about being overly maverick

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I got Ighalo in and captained him. Talk about mavericky business.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Might lose 6 points later.

      1. Back on the horse
        10 years, 9 days ago

        yeah was surprised to see that assist come up, what happened?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Lukaku assist.

  26. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 9 days ago

    People seriously using their FTs to get Heaton in? LoL

    Good move if 2FTs no other issues

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He's worth a hit easily just in saves.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      And desperate for money in a season where there is value everywhere

  27. some witty pun
    10 years, 9 days ago

    owning benteke is frustrating

  28. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Opponents have scored 13 goals from 26 shots on target vs LFC this season. Insane.

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      How many have been one on one due to a defensive error

  29. Make United Great Again
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Oh ffs mane

  30. Les Bleus
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Coutinho to Mane almost
