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.

    Have never owned Fuchs.. Only Simpson + Huth last season. Is he worth the extra 0.4 over the rest?

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      10 years, 9 days ago

      If you can find it, yes

    2. Danstoke82
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He's a BAP magnet so I'd say yes it's worth it

    3. MrMaverick
      10 years, 9 days ago

      no, morgan the pick of the bunch

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yes.

  2. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Mata punt didn't work as planned but managed to got 75 points and 2 to go. Fpl season back on track

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

      Wow well done.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Honestly Mata was central to everything good for utd early on. could have got 2

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      What are you doing with Mata? Swansea isn't a bad fixture.

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Keeping for that game and then ship him out Alli / Chadli etc.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Hmm...Alli could be a good choice.

          1. S.Kuqi
            10 years, 9 days ago

            Really nice home games from gw11 onwards.

    4. MrMaverick
      10 years, 9 days ago

      was that a captain punt?

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 9 days ago

        No. Just my Walcott replacement

    5. Champione
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Very unlucky that he didn't get points on the board this match. Did incredible well on the BPS without scoring as well. Could have been a huge score

  3. Ha.
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Did Defoe > Austin and held off doing Payet > Firmino. Need a big day tomorrow 😆

    1. MrMaverick
      10 years, 9 days ago

      why get in austin before chelsea?

      1. Ha.
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Defoe against Arsenal looked less appealing

  4. CloudSky
    10 years, 9 days ago

    I really want to do Son + Tekkers to Cou + Austin tonight.

    But am worried if there is a possibility for Austin not to be nailed on with Boufal, Redmond and others. Any insight?

    1. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He starts imo, do it

  5. Kermit Special
    10 years, 9 days ago

    sanchez to stay or should i cange to firmino/de bruyne

    1. Kermit Special
      10 years, 9 days ago

      * change

      1. Lucky_Z
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Definetily transfer out and never buy again after today's performance

  6. Carlton P
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Am I missing something?
    Why are people still taking sterling out?he looked lively today, had a few shots, got in some decent positions and city should kick on from here
    Sterling > Coutinho if that's the only way of getting him in that's fair enough but he's a keeper for me

    1. MrMaverick
      10 years, 9 days ago

      same

      2 shots in the first half but foster saves

      1. MrMaverick
        10 years, 9 days ago

        mid (h) next up too

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Selling him before Middlesborough at home is a bit risky, Im keeping

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Because he hasn't got points. Simple as that really. You could apply that logic to Ibra a few weeks ago and now we know ditching was the right move. With Sterling, I'd lean towards keeping, but you really can't afford to carry any underperforming mids this season

      1. Carlton P
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I get that city scored 4 an he blanked but it sometimes happens
        How many assists did ozil get today?mane?
        At home to boro is a great fixture

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          10 years, 9 days ago

          I agree. I'm just gonna ditto my original comment here. The answer to your question is that simple

        2. 824545201
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Ozil got an assist today.
          And Sterling has blanked in 4 consecutive GW's, that's enough for people to start ditching him, you can't afford patience this season.

    4. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Better mids within the price bracket I believe.

      1. MrMaverick
        10 years, 9 days ago

        who?

        1. chicrah
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Liverpool and Arsenal mids. I sold Sterling for Coutinho this week. Plus having two City players (assuming he has Kun) is one City player too many for now.

          1. Carlton P
            10 years, 9 days ago

            I've got Firmino, Coutinho and wallcott

            1. MrMaverick
              10 years, 9 days ago

              Same

      2. Carlton P
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Name a few

    5. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Exactly, should be a big points haul for Aguero
      Somebody needs to assist him
      Nolito (rat boy) looks pretty average and is a bit of a tool

    6. Sideways Backwards
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I admit I didn't see the game, but I've heard that a lot recently, with no points to show for it.
      Gave him this week to give me some returns but nothing from 4 goals means he has to go.
      Might get him back in if he picks up again, but can't carry any mids this season

    7. MTPockets
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Lack of FPL points.

  7. InSaneMan-e
    10 years, 9 days ago

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

  8. Hurricane Gilbert
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Does anybody know about Cedric injury and when he should be back?

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

      Good question, says 6th Nov as a 'possible return' but nothing concrete....very tempting Valencia replacement at 4.9

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

    Walcott to Firmino for double up with Cout will be the big decision this week

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Easy decision if you have Alexis.

    2. HVT
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Who to sell for Coutinho?
      (Sanchez/Firminho/Capoue)
      A - Sterling
      B - Wally

      Thanks

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

        That's a difficult one, t would say Wally, due to better short term fixtures. Hopefully he drops by 0.1-02. to offset the TV loss if wanting to buy him back

  10. Danstoke82
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Son + CWilson > Coutinho + 5.7ATT Okazaki -4? (Play 3-5-2)

    Team;

    Heaton
    Kosc Lovren Holebas
    Sanchez Firm Son Walcott Allen
    Aguero Lukaku

    Subs; Pickford CWilson Amat MWilson

    Need to do tonight before Couts price rise

    1. BB-8
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Wilson plays Sunderland next

    2. Alnair
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Wow that is total madness, taking out Wilson (SUN) for a hit?

      1. Danstoke82
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Guess so. It was just to get Couts in but think I'll save the FT and go a bit longer without him

  11. Mickey Tyrion™
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Best use of 2 FT here?

    Cech (4.0)
    Valencia, Friend, Pieters, Evans, Amat
    Walcott, Sanchez, Firmino, Redmond, Capoue
    Benteke, Kun, Lukaku

    1. BinIvanovic
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Valencia OUT surely

      1. Mickey Tyrion™
        10 years, 9 days ago

        For who?

        1. istanbul05
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Fuchs?

    2. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Wow, 10 players same as mine
      If i had 2 FT Valencia and walcott-->Couts and 5.0 def

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

    Parm - nice shout with Vardy given fixtures but are we not worried about rotation with Slimani especially with CL?

    1. MrMaverick
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I actually want slimani but rotation putting me off

      Need some differentials badly

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

      Good point, but they 'almost' have their UCL group wrapped up and are struggling in the league. Not sure whether UCL should be their main priority right now plus he's already had his rest.

  13. BB-8
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Gundogan. An under-prized gem or just another Capoue?

    1. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Its Matic's turn next.

      1. Kermit Special
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Agreed, I'm excited for tommorow

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He's a modric type player. Has potential but never translates to points.

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 9 days ago

        One for the watchlist. 8 KP's in the last 2 games. Could be a bargain

    3. Alnair
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Is he actually nailed on?

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Can never tell with Pep but he's started 5 out of the last 6

  14. PvA
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Crazy week

    Stones got a clean sheet

    1. Kermit Special
      10 years, 9 days ago

      That surprised me... As well as sanchez dominance. I wonder if I should remove him for next week for firmino/de bruyne?

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

      Surely the most ridiculous

      That and Shaw!!!!!

    3. GoonerByron
      10 years, 9 days ago

      And a BAP 😮

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

      I'm more surprised at the fact that he looks like he's on for a bonus point...

  15. Differentiator
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Benteke look any good?

    1. kalmoffit
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yes

    2. GoonerByron
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He does every week and gets nothing 🙁

    3. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Looks solid.. focal point of Palace attack.

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

    Just WOW. 😀
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1jd-vE0QI

    1. PvA
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Best keeper ever

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

        Glad i picked him over Foster

    2. fedolefan
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Don't get me wrong, a couple of great saves but anyone else thoroughly underwhelmed by that video? Was expecting some Heaton masterclass.

  17. istanbul05
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Slightly annoyed I brought in Firmino over Coutinho this morning, but can't have it all!

    I want to bring in Fuchs and Gundogan but can't afford both....

    A) Baines to Fuchs (Keep Capoue as 4th Mid)

    B) Baines & Capoue to Morgan & Gundogan (-4)

    Cheers fellas

    1. HVT
      10 years, 9 days ago

      How much is gunaD?

      1. istanbul05
        10 years, 9 days ago

        5.4

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      If you ever listen to any advice this season, listen to this: don't buy Gundogan.

      1. istanbul05
        10 years, 9 days ago

        reasons?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          10 years, 9 days ago

          He will get rotated. You'll end up selling him in a few weeks for the next cheap midfielder that just scored a brace

  18. Melania
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    How did Sterling look today?

    1. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Fairly lively, had two decent shots saved in first half
      Madness to get rid before boro game

  19. Respect My Authoritah
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone else have Hazard?

    Got him in this week due to a couple injuries, and quite happy with it tbh. Few tough fixtures, but the change in system has really freed him up and those pens are so useful

  20. Cojiro
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Walcott and Walker -> Coutinho and Fuchs/ Stones/ Morgan for free?
    Have Sanchez and Firminho already.

    Yes or no?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I would

      1. Cojiro
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Thanks

        1. Mickey Tyrion™
          10 years, 9 days ago

          So Fuchs Stones or Morgan? Asking myself the same

  21. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    10 years, 9 days ago

    lukaku had better get a hatty.......

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      10 years, 9 days ago

      this, but i would be happy with a brace (13).

  22. borat
    10 years, 9 days ago

    walcott to firmino
    or
    deeney to austin
    or both for hit

  23. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    First green arrow in 3 weeks incoming wooooooohooooo!!!!

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

    Any tools to check top10k ownership?

    1. HVT
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Not nice to call people on here this!

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

        Haha.......there are a few though!!!!

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

        Spot on TM

  25. willl
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Son to Tadic is tempting me. Why would doing it be wrong?

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

      I had that mofo for weeks with no return... never again

    2. BB-8
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I'm probably doing Son to Redmond. Tadic just doesn't appeal that much without pens

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

        Le Tiss was on TS the other week saying how good Redmond is having watched some training sessions; definitely interested in him

        1. BB-8
          10 years, 9 days ago

          And Puel seems to love him. OOP and Hull next. I'm pretty excited tbh

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      😀

      So many better options tbh. Bouffal interests me more

    4. Knowledgeable meerkat
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I like it

      I'm a huge Tadic fan, and their fixtures pick up soon. Hull next, maybe I'm biased but looks good

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

    Valencia for Fuchs or a Southampton defender, thinking VVD...

    Am also doing Son > Coutinho and Deeney > Austin this week, defensive move would be a -4 but the rest of my defence is Amat, Kone, Smith, Pieters so backed into a bit of a corner as Kone may as well be a non player at the moment...could leave Deeney another week and avoid hit but very reluctant with Austin facing Hull next.

  27. JustPark
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Walcott is not gonna play anymore right?

    1. Cojiro
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He'll still play, just tough fixtures

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      On current form he should.

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Why not?

      1. JustPark
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Ox, Giroud now in the team.

    4. kalmoffit
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Giroud playing so well is quite alarming

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Is Fuchs likely to drop? Would rather wait till after to get him in.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah saw that. But not sure how long he's been that way.

  29. ZakAFC_
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Any Suggestions?

    Grant
    Kosc, Vertonghen, Holebas
    Firmino, Coutinho, Sanchez, Redmond
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    Pickford, Pieters, de Roon, Kingsley

    1FT, 0 ITB

    1. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Save or vert > Fuchs/morgan

    2. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Great team btw

  30. TerryVenables
    10 years, 9 days ago

    -----------------cech----------------
    -----Kosch Walker Holebas-----
    ---Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Sigurdsson Capoue---
    --------------Aguero Lukaku-------

    Kingsley, Amat, Diomande
    0.1 ITB with 2 free transfers.
    Was thinking Cech>>>5.0m keeper
    Capoue>>>Gundogan
    Thoughts?
