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.

    Walcott Lallana -> coutinho Redmond ??

    1. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      How long is Walcott out for?

      1. Krionos
        10 years, 9 days ago

        He's not 😀

        1. chicrah
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Then why sell?

              and Giroud and Ramsay back

              1. CCaddy
                10 years, 9 days ago

                Yep this

          2. CCaddy
            10 years, 9 days ago

            To get coutinho?

            Don't really want double Arsenal for the next few gameweeks.

            1. chicrah
              10 years, 9 days ago

              But he is on form now and will come straight back in next gameweek.

              1. Krionos
                10 years, 9 days ago

                If he plays in CL and scores a brace everyone will want him again. This site sure is fickle these days...

  2. HVT
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Best 4.5 and under?
    (Selling Capoue-need cash)

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Wait and see what happens with de Roon

      1. HVT
        10 years, 9 days ago

        He had a good run but didn't start the last game?
        4.3 would suit me perfect too,
        Wally/Cap > Cout/De Roon.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Read the article I think he is the only one

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

        Was he injured ? Not even in the squad

        1. HVT
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Yea he was and leadbitter back soon too I see.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I went for a 4.3 non-playing. Makes far more sense to me

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

      I have Fletcher, anyone playing and not losing value works.

      1. HVT
        10 years, 9 days ago

        If i only had 4.3?

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Same

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      No one nailed. Fletcher, Carrick, Hojbjerg, Leko, Meyler...

      1. Ha.
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Marney

  3. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    In order to release some cash to in order to improve my team as a whole

    Which two premium players should I downgrade

    Current Team

    Schmeichel Foster

    Bellerin Williams Pieters Francis McAuley

    Sanchez Milner Bolasie Capoue Snodgrass

    Costa Aguero Deeney

    2FTs 0.3 in bank (willing to -8 to get the right players in)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yikes, probably downgrade Costa. As good as he's been doing, you need to upgrade Snod, Bolasie, Capoue

    2. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      To be honest Im wondering where exactly the money went?

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

        Exactly my thoughts. Looks like there should be 4-5m in the bank.

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

      Is that 0.3m or 3m?

      Your squad looks like it should be 3m.

  4. F4L
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Foster to Heaton worth a hit? Already own Evans...

    1. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      No. Not for a hit.

    2. MTPockets
      10 years, 9 days ago

      -4 for a keeper almost always pointless.

      1. F4L
        10 years, 9 days ago

        its for the long term tho

        1. Krionos
          10 years, 9 days ago

          THen do it next week

    3. kalmoffit
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I had two free transfers so I had to do something. Pretty pleased with Foster to Heaton.

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

      I say yes. It will be a long term move, and if you don't take the hit, you'll never have the spare FT until he's already at 5.0. THat's supposing you fancy him to outscore Foster by at least 4 points over the rest of the season. West Brom got three plum fixtures GW's 12-14, though

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

    Mata: 100% pass accuracy, 100% take-ons, 100% tackles won, 50 passes, 7 chances created, 6 shots.

    Didn't work out but was a good punt nonetheless. Happy to keep for Swansea.

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He was captain as well!!

  6. Keno
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Best Liverpool Mid to own?

    1. rdamjan
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Cout+Firmino

      1. chicrah
        10 years, 9 days ago

        This.. ^

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

        Cout+Firm+Mane

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Lucas

    3. Krionos
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Coutinho>Firmino>Mane>Lallana

  7. Ha.
    10 years, 9 days ago

    A. KDB and Chadli

    Or

    B. Payet and Firmino

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      B

      1. Krionos
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Tough one. I think KDB is going to rip it up in the coming gameweeks, but doubt he will outscore Payet and Firmino...

        WBrom have good fixtures after next week but Chadli seems to go off the boil too often for me...

        1. Ha.
          10 years, 9 days ago

          I agree re: KDB

          Wouldn't have to be Chadli - would have have 7.2m to spend. Anyone better? Redmond maybe (have Austin)?

          1. Krionos
            10 years, 9 days ago

            Arnautovic, Lallana perhaps?

            1. Ha.
              10 years, 9 days ago

              Not keen on either to be honest

              Lallana isn't one of 'the three' and Arnie will likely get suspended (poor bench)

          2. ***00tennis***
            10 years, 9 days ago

            Siggy/Redmond/Arnie

      2. Ha.
        10 years, 9 days ago

        KDB at home to MID though 😆

  8. JJeyy
    10 years, 9 days ago

    keep 1 Lallana or Sterling,

    Ive got Gundogan and Cout.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      10 years, 9 days ago

      You had gundogan for his haul? 😯 .. Well done. I'd keep sterling

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 9 days ago

    52 with Shaqiri and Lu(k)aku to play.

    Will that be about average?

    1. makaveli123
      10 years, 9 days ago

      38pts is the average at the moment.

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

      Green arrow tonight

    3. Ha.
      10 years, 9 days ago

      The only thing average about that is your players left to play

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        10 years, 9 days ago

        What's wrong with Lukaku and Shaqiri?

        1. Ha.
          10 years, 9 days ago

          I meant the number of players

    4. CloudSky
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Around 40 with 4 left.

    5. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 9 days ago

      42.3 is top 10k average

    6. NATSTER
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Above, it seems.

  10. Miro
    10 years, 9 days ago

    2FT:
    A) Sterling, Capoue -> Coutinho, Gundogan
    B) Sterling, Walcott -> Sanchez, Gundogan
    C) Ozil, Walcott -> Sanchez, Chadli

    Need to make the transfers tonight :-/

    1. BB-8
      10 years, 9 days ago

      A

  11. frenchfries
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Need help to sort out my back 7!

    Foster Jakupovic
    Williams Vertonghen McAuley Amat Souare

    got 0.8 in the bank and 1 ft

  12. 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?

    The problem is, Im gonna need to take a hit if Wally is injured for the weekend. Decisions, decisions...

  13. BB-8
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone else annoyed that Mustafi hasn't got any attacking points yet? Makes a couple of great long balls every match which are never converted.

    1. kalmoffit
      10 years, 9 days ago

      More annoyed that his panic attack gifted Sunderland their goal.

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 9 days ago

        That too 🙁

  14. Emiliano Sala
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Spurs next 5 matches , 3 Hard away matches. Arsenal , Chelsea , Utd. Vertonghen out for 5 weeks ? Or keep ?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I'm probably getting rid. Just need to find out if it's this week or next.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        10 years, 9 days ago

        This week is better. Arsenal is strong side. Have u plan to get him back after 5 weeks ?

    2. Golden Venture
      10 years, 9 days ago

      did it this week. 4YC too

    3. Krionos
      10 years, 9 days ago

      They beat City 2-0

      1. Emiliano Sala
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Without kolarov own goal thry could not

        1. Krionos
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Wouldn't they still have beat them 1-0 and scored a cleanie?

          1. Emiliano Sala
            10 years, 9 days ago

            No

  15. Numb
    10 years, 9 days ago

    What's the average score on here?

    1. Numb
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I mean FFS posters not overall or top 10

    2. Chucky
      10 years, 9 days ago

      70....

      1. Numb
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Really? That high? Thanks for bursting my bubble!

    3. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 9 days ago

      about 60 I would guess

      1. Numb
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Green arrows for all then

    4. makaveli123
      10 years, 9 days ago

      42.3455

    5. Fred54
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Always high because only us people who did well will reveal our score.

      1. Numb
        10 years, 9 days ago

        True I guess

    6. Mickey Tyrion™
      10 years, 9 days ago

      In the 50's right now.

    7. Frank Koscielny
      10 years, 9 days ago

      48. Have Redmond, Lukaku and Pieters left.

      1. Numb
        10 years, 9 days ago

        You misunderstand me....

    8. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      10 years, 9 days ago

      55 i would say

    9. Xhaka Kahn't
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      50 I reckon

  16. Clifford☯
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Should I take out Walcott for Coutinho ? Rest of the Mids are Sanchez, Firmino, Snoddy, Fletcher

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah I'm kind of thinking the same. Although really need to get rid of Callum Wilson first.

    2. chicrah
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Why everyone getting rid of Walcott?

      1. Krionos
        10 years, 9 days ago

        No idea... Not sure why FRED would get rid of Callum Wilson either?

      2. Alnair
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Owns Sanchez.

  17. Bushido
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Take out rashford for ahmed musa or siliami. Budget is 8.8 million.

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Thinking Musa/Austin myself (£0 ITB). Undecided what to do with Rashford really.

      1. Bushido
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I don't really like the fact that Rashford plays out wide. I need striker that'll bring in points.

        1. MTPockets
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Next week's fixture holding me back, although exact opposite perspective I have about people still holding Ibra.
          Will likely be one of those two, but also watching Walcott and could do with Heaton in for Foster. Only 1 FT though.

  18. JIM BOB
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Got a couple of dilemmas for a draft league....

    1.) Morgan or Burnley defender?

    2.) Ayew or Chadli?

    N.b - need to think long term ideally.

  19. fedolefan
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Will probably ask this a few times this week. Pick one.

    A) Redmond (hul)
    B) Coutinho (WAT) - 4

    Leaning A.

    1. BB-8
      10 years, 9 days ago

      A

    2. F4L
      10 years, 9 days ago

      b

    3. Kermit Special
      10 years, 9 days ago

      B b4 its too late

      1. fedolefan
        10 years, 9 days ago

        There is the international break to consider too. Coutinho could be rested.

  20. smuggs
    10 years, 9 days ago

    2 free transfers
    have sanchez,firmino,capoue,bolasie
    have holebas,williams,mcculey,amat.

    so the 2 im looking to drop our clyne and walcott for countino and daniels would you say that i a good use of two free transfers

  21. Frank Koscielny
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Evening chaps.

    Are you sticking to Walcott? Considering cashing out on him and getting him back GW18. In addition I have to get rid of Valencia.

    Pick - Mandanda

    Valencia - Kos - Pieters - Amat - McAuley

    Sanches - Cout - Walcott - Redmond - Capoue

    Kun - Lukaku - Deeney

    0,2 ITB - 1 FT

    A - Get a Leicester or Chelsea defender for Valencia
    B - Valencia and Walcott --> Morgan + Firmino and a hit
    C - Any other suggestions?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Transfer Valencia & wait for news on Walcott.

      1. Krionos
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Can't plan a transfer for GW 18... Too much will change before that. Seems wise to do something about Valencia quickly if money is an issue..

  22. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    10 years, 9 days ago

    By the way: CONGRATULATIONS to all John Stones owners! He is truly a bargain.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Is he injured though? Thought I heard something at the end of the game?

    2. kalmoffit
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Patience is all it takes

    3. Football Weekender
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Ha. Finally, after weeks of blind, stupid faith he got me a cleanie! Same again next week at home to Boro please.

  23. Spg76
    10 years, 9 days ago

    I got a feeling Kingsley is nailed. Taylor had is chance and failed

  24. camarozz
    10 years, 9 days ago

    63 with coleman, redmond and lukaku to go and 2fts intact. Lovely.
    Better still most rivals low to high 30s bench boosts, aoa and all sorts going on!! Great gw so far.

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 9 days ago

      good, so you are happy with Firmino now then ? Keep the Faith ;P

  25. Jay_
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Andre Gray anyone? Burnley 3rd on the attacking ticker over the next 5.

    1. TOPCAT1960
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yep, if you have someone like Deeney i would think

  26. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Doing well but suddenly have a few issues in my team.

    Foster / Pickford
    Valencia* / Pieters / Smith / Amat / Kingsley
    Sanchez / Walcott* / Son* / Coutinho / Firmino
    Aguero / Lukaku / Diomande*

    1 FT, 0 ITB.

    Guys marked with a * are injury / form / fixture concerns.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    1. Krionos
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I would say Son and Valencia are your top priorities. Why is Walcott an issue for everyone? If he plays in CL and pulls through is he still not a great option??

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Just marked him because of the next two fixtures.

        Agreed. I can get Redmond + any defender for those two.

        Or I can get a cheap defender + a mid worth about 8.5.

        What do you think?

  27. Guru Mediation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Cech pick
    Walker Holebas Lovren Daniels Amat
    Sanchez Walcott Mane Allen Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Benteke

    Any ideas? Have exact money to do Walcott to Coutinho tonight but think that is a bit knee jerky

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I'd go

      Foster pick
      Walker Holebas Lovren Cameron Amat
      Sanchez Son Mane Allen Antonio
      Aguero Lukaku Deeney

      (my team :-p)

      Wait until tomorrow bro.

      1. Guru Mediation

        Yeah, cheers

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

    guys
    i have 5.5 to spend on a mid. any suggestions? struggling to take allen seriously.

    i already have capoue so a rotator would be good

    1. BB-8
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Capoue to 4.3 And get Redmond

    2. TOPCAT1960
      10 years, 9 days ago

      If you had asked that this morning .....McCarthur !! Hindsight is great though haha

  29. Bushido
    10 years, 9 days ago

    A. Rashford > Musa
    B. Rashford > Siliami
    C. Rashford > Austin
    D. Rashford > Giroud

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      A or C, if nailed on.
