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.

  3. F4L
    10 years, 9 days ago

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Could be a great long term move.

    2. M.A.G
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I Know that feel bro

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Couldve easily had a haul.

      Him and coutinho shouldve both outscored sanchez and kun tbh. So many wasted chances.

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

    Anyone know why Valencia didn't play? Was it a simple case of being dropped...

    1. WDT
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Broken arm I heard

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Injured I think.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Broken arm

    4. Fergietime
      10 years, 9 days ago

  5. sergioaguero67
    10 years, 9 days ago

    No injury danger for Coutinho right?
    Missed the match sadly
    I am going to ship him in before his price rise tonight.
    Safe?

    Please help.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He can still get injured.

    2. Speédy
      10 years, 9 days ago

      the stadium roof may fall on him

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

    50 with Pieters, Antonio, Austin and Lukaku (C). I'll gladly accept 100 points if you offer me that right now

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 9 days ago

      60 might be closer.sorry

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

        Come on you can do better than that. 99?

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Okay I'll raise you up to 68 but that's my final offer.
          12 2 2 2

    2. Speédy
      10 years, 9 days ago

      i wont mind a kaku 10 pointer

  7. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 9 days ago

    I've always loved Liverpool players

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I want a 3rd

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Already got my fill.

        Next thing to worry about is who to get in for Ibra

        1. JAC THE CAT
          10 years, 9 days ago

          You need to ditch him Andy

          Free yourself

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            10 years, 9 days ago

            Yeah but no-one really takes my fancy to bring in.

            I guess it has to be Lukaku or Costa....maybe even Giroud.

            1. JAC THE CAT
              10 years, 9 days ago

              My pick would be Lukaku

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I have 3 but left lovern on the bench.firm and cout worked though.

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

        not a 2.1?

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

      Just a pity you love United FPL assets more 😛

  8. cheekumz
    10 years, 9 days ago

    I know its not wise and i generally hate early transfers but really looking to build value atm... and currently have quite a lead in all my ML's and barring any midweek injuries have nothing pressing.

    Thinking about Capoue out right now to capitalise on a price rise... Gundogan or Redmond?

    Foster (Pick)
    Kosc Vert Holebas (Kingsley Love)
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Allen (Capoue)
    Kun Lukaku Deeney

    Suppose I could take out Deeney but no idea who id take in.

  9. borat
    10 years, 9 days ago

    is holebas on 1 bp

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 9 days ago

      No unfortunately

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I think he is....

      2. borat
        10 years, 9 days ago

        think his bap is 25 tied third with gomes

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Just misses out

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Ok....maybe not....

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Will it be given though? Two players on 2 baps and two on 1 bap.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        10 years, 9 days ago

        No its 3 then 2 and 2.

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

        No, 29, 26,26. Holebas 25

  10. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Sell Walker or Clyne for Fuchs?

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

      I'm considering bringing Fuchs in, not sure I'd get rid of either of those 2 though...you considering Southampton defence at all ? I'm thinking next week may be a good time to being VVD on board

  11. Brap.
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Does

    Snod -> Gundogan

    and

    Cap -> Matic

    accurately capture the zeitgeist?

  12. Baked baines
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Henderson on more bps than Coutinho!!!
    This surly has to change!! How can Coutinho on have 1 bps after that performance!!

  13. Jabba12
    10 years, 9 days ago

    74 points this week but so many issues. Who do I get rid of first? Amat valencia snodgrass walcott lallana benteke all trolling me

    1. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Similar to me!
      Amat is 4.0 so keeping tbh
      Valencia and Wally i've posted below, no idea how long they're out for
      As for Benteke, think Benteke-->Austin coming up soon

  14. Champione
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Lukaku captainers; how many points do you have now (post baps). 62 here. Really need Lukaku to step up tomorrow!

    1. Champione
      10 years, 9 days ago

      ...with only Lukaku left

    2. Le _ Professeur
      10 years, 9 days ago

      35 .. but I still have Redmond + Martina + Adrian + Pieters to go as well

      1. Champione
        10 years, 9 days ago

        lots of football to be played for your team, so anything can happen

    3. Kermit Special
      10 years, 9 days ago

      40 something. Me too fellow brother

    4. M.A.G
      10 years, 9 days ago

      56(-4)
      + Pieters
      and Amat if he plays otherwise i'll have Evans (0)

    5. Champione
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Cheers guys, fingers crossed for a haul tomorrow 🙂

  15. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    A) should I get firmino or mane for
    Walcott?

    B) who to replace snodgrass with? Have either 5.6 or 6.0 depending on the first question

    Thanks,

    1. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Firmino + redmond

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Wil have Austin in for benteke so not sure about doubling up on saints

    2. Kermit Special
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Firmino, he seems to be at the center of things in attack. Mane looks wasteful.

  16. Jet5605
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Looking to bring a Leicester defender in with those sweet fixtures coming up.

    Is Fuchs worth the extra 0.4 or should I get Morgan for 5.0 and save the cash?

    1. Brap.
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Probably Fuchs

      They're both great at home

      Fuchs got good threat though

    2. Boydinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      As always, depends on what you do with the cash.

  17. Chucky
    10 years, 9 days ago

        10 years, 9 days ago

    2. EmreCan Hustle

    Anyone know how long Valencia and Walcott are out for?
    And who would be your priority in getting rid

  24. camarozz
    10 years, 9 days ago

    If firmino had kept his shirt in would he got a bonus??

    1. camarozz

      1. Jimmers

        No - Didn't even feature in the baps

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Lol, hard to say.

    3. C_G
      10 years, 9 days ago

      nah Moreno racked up quite a BAPS

      1. C_G

        few*

    4. Jimmers

      You can check the baps on your points page on FPL under the match score

    5. Knowledgeable meerkat

      Nope, nowhere near

    6. thep025

      Hardly matters now does it.......

    7. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 9 days ago

      getting his baps out didn't cost him any baps

  25. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Was going to do Wally to Coutinho for -4 this morning but held off. With Capoue's 3-pointer off the bench I've only lost out on 2 points so no real damage done.

    Mind you will probably do the transfer this week - 'pool's fixtures just too good and Coutinho is in great form

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

      I did Wally to Arnie myself, minus 4. Have coutinho and firm. We did well, jimmers.

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

      I also held off - with de Roon now show, looking forward to Koné 0 pointer from the bench ....

  26. Z
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Sanchez - Walcott - Firmino - Coutinho (de Roon)
    Lukaku - Deeney - Aguero

    Any need to change my main front 7?

    1. Boydinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Im looking on Austin for Deeney myself

    2. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Just deeney > Austin I reckon

    3. Kermit Special
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Remove Wally + de roon. Consider costa as a long term option in strike. Consider mane/de bruyne and Gundo as well

  27. Jay_
    10 years, 9 days ago

    ------------------Pickford-----------------
    ----------Clyne Stones Holebas------
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Walcott
    ---------Aguero Lukaku Deeney------
    --------------------------------------------------
    Foster Capoue Pieters Amat. 0.1itb, 1ft.

    A) Deeney > Austin
    B) Deeney > Musa
    C) Foster > Heaton
    D) Save ft
    E) Something else?

    1. Boydinho
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Depends on Fosters next, then probably Austin

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Perfect team

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Gotta be A atm Jay. Check out Saints tomorrow.

    4. PEP G
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Get Heaton by removing Foster

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

    In order to release some cash to in order to improve my front 8

    Which player should I downgrade out of

    Sanchez or Aguero

    Rest of front 8

    Milner Bolasie Capoue Snodgrass

    Costa Deeney

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Costa

    2. joey
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Who do you have in defence? It looks like you must have spent quite a lot there, anyone you can downgrade?

  29. Fergietime
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Might sell sterling to Gundogan , for the increase in value if nothing else

    1. Kuqi Monster
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Value schmalue

  30. Jet5605
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Who should I ditch for a Leicester defender?

    A - Vertonhgen (tough games)
    B - Ashley Williams (rarely gets cleanie)
