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.

    Any offers on this lot please folks?

    Heaton/Jaku
    Valencia/Williams/Evans/Friend/Amat
    Sanchez/Firmino/Alli/Sterling/Capoue
    Sergio/Tekkers/Deeney

    Much obliged

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

      Val > Fuchs

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would look to ship Benteke and/or Deeney if I were you

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney to Austin and Sterling to Coutinho?

  2. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Walcott to Coutinho
    B) Sterling to Coutinho
    C) Do nothing

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C until there's news on Walcott, then A or B depending on the news. Preferably B.

    2. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for news on Walcott but, I would go for A.

      1. Zareos
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This is assuming the news is negative. I read a hamstring injury.

    3. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C

  3. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bellerin for Fuchs or Alonso?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuchs

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Neither. Keep. Tot not free scoring atm

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuchs for now. Alonso maybe later if we know he's nailed when Terry returns

  4. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino or Coutinho?

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All 3 will score about the same. Choose one and stick.

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you had to pick one

      1. Joyce1998
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        coutinho

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Coin toss. I'd go Firmino for the extra minutes

  5. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Watching the highlights from the United game once again.. how didn't we score today?! 20 shots from inside the box. Liverpool had 13 today... Can't believe it

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      lord heaton denied lord zlatan

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool's attackers can finish.

      1. Champione
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        so true. Brilliant attacking football. Looks like you're going to score in every attack. We on the contrary..

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2 bars/post and horrible miss from Zlatan
      The Heaton with a ridiculous performance

      1. Champione
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        but honestly, would rather have this kind of performance than what we did on Old Trafford last year

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Completely agree
          Everyone says Moyes had a better start and LVG last season too
          But last season, we topped the league near this point, then we collapsed
          I much prefer seeing Mourinhos Utd than either of them

          1. Champione
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Much more confident that the team will come good during the season this year. Still plenty of football to be played and lots of opportunities to catch up with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and City

  6. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of A but what do others think? Also have Kun and Koscielny

    A Ozil to Sanchez and Walcott to Gundogan
    Or
    B Stick with Walcott and Ozil and go Valencia to Van Dijk and carry 1 free transfer

  7. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    am i the only one to not even have a 70 point haul this season,highest is 67

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, the only one out of 4m players

  8. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    3BP McArthur 41
    2BP Henderson 39
    1BP Moreno 31

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Hahahaha no way

    2. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's great.
      Happy with No baps for Coutinho.

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho had 39. What happened?

    4. Golden Venture
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wtf?

  9. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How on Earth does Moreno get more baps than Coutinho?!

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same with hendo

      1. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I said before, Hendo makes sense because he doesn't lose the ball and plays as a deep playmaker so creates chances, tackles, intercepts etc so one assist and he's up there for BAPs.

        Coutinho loses BAPs each time he is dispossessed or misses a big chance, like the pull back from Mane he missed.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's a joke.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    i just want to get advantage of the Cou price rise tonight. Im going with Theo>Cou, so the possible outings are:
    a) Stones to Pieters
    b) Walker to Fuchs
    c)Benteke to Austin(have Redmond) or Wilson?

    Which one would you guys say it has the most sense?

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C. Hull is a good week to double!

  14. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Countinho not in the baps? I thought he had like 40 bps but he's down to 30. Has an assist been taken away or something?

  15. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho now on zero baps. Stupid system - best player on the pitch by a mile

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      better with the man in the stands than this nonsense

  16. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho dropped out of the bonus points:

    McArthur 41
    Henderson 39
    Moreno 31
    ----------------
    Coutinho 30

  17. Mookty
    • 10 Years

    Is Gündogan our new 5th mid?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd rather save myself the benching headache every week

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You want to have the highest point scorer of the gw as 5th mid?

    3. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3 starts in a row is a good sign

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bit too expensive for 5th.

    5. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on Van Djik at 5.4 ?

      Fixtures looks very nice - hul LIV EVE cpl MID sto bou in next 7

      Haven't scored yet but as we know he's known to have great attacking instincts

      1. @SirAustinDangerPowers
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Fuchs?
        Better fixtures. Has played all the top away fixtures. And great attacking returns.

    6. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which Chelsea attack would you get ?

      Costa or Hazard ?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Costa

      2. Team Zissou

    8. Baines on Toast...

      BPS system is appalling. FFS, we are a collective lobby for change. Now, what's our solution?

      1. MrMaverick
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        if you had moreno, it wouldnt be appaling. same if you had hendo

        sometimes it works out for you, other times not

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          nope. If it doesn't reward the best player on the pitch it's a flawed system.

      2. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Drop the BPS system

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think that would work.

    9. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      sell lukaku to get funds to coutinho is bad option?

      I am thinking...

      Capoue + lukaku ---> coutinho + gray

    10. MrMaverick
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no baps for coutinho

      mcarthur 3

      ------------------Heaton -----------------
      -------Smith Cameron Holebas------
      ---Son Firmino Coutinho Walcott --
      ---------Aguero Lukaku Deeney------

      Pickford, A. Valencia, Amat, de Roon

      4.1ITB

      Obviously problems with Valencia and the fact half of my team has minor injuries this week.
      However, a large part of me wants to get Sanchez in for Son or Walcott?

      If this was your team what would you do?

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Son ->KdB

    12. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doing Kone and Benteke to Fuchs and Austin for free, would you add in Sterling to Firmino for a hit?

      Ta 🙂

      1. Team Zissou
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Do u have any other Liverpool?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Coutinho

          1. Team Zissou
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure for a hit then.. but with hits go with your gut

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yes

      3. @SirAustinDangerPowers
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yup add that hit but for Couti if you don't own him already. If you do then no hit.

      4. Delhidynamo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Benteke was decent tho

        1. The Bandit

        3. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Not that good. 42 with Lukaku (C), Siggy and Allen left

        4. BB-8

          9 years, 1 month ago

          Same score with 4 to go

        So...
        A) Walcott+ Valencia-->Couts+Morgan for a -4
        OR
        B) Valencia-->Fuchs
        C) Walcott+Valencia-->Gundogan+Fuchs/any other defender in the game
