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 reason why I shouldn't do Sterling -> Coutinho tonight, if I have 2FTs and no pressing issues? (Also got Firmino)

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I would do it

    2. CREAM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I did it last night, he's a must at the minute.

    3. chicrah

      Fixtures apparently. If you want to do it should be before this gameweek.

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Liverpool fixtures are still very good.

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you have Firmino I'd keep Sterling. Look a City's next 3 fixtures and after today they're back in scoring form

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This.

      2. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Kun looks like enough cover now and Coutinho just keeps scoring and assisting

  2. chicrah
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Good day for the gameweek today. Only regret is switching armband from Kun to Coutinho right before deadline. Off to bed. See you folks tomorrow.

    Can someone please tell me the top 10k ownership for zlatan, I cannot find this info on fpl discovery, do you have to sign up?

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Austin is nailed right? Is it likely that he will play against Inter?

  5. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hold Walcott or sell?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for news.

    2. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait and see

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      50/50 for me. Could really improve the defense if I sell for Redmond

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      But Firmino will rise and after that i cant afford him

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If its for Firmino, I would do it. He'll score more than Walcott IMO.

  6. Syd.

    How long is Valencia out for?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The fans' favourite has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign but he will now miss the next few weeks of action
      https://www.clubcall.com/manchester-united/valencia-set-for-spell-on-sidelines-1829648.html?

      Nobody knows for sure how long yet

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers........ My defence has been a right mess this season

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Who are you thinking of as a replacement ? . I am hoping Cedric is close to a return .

  7. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which 2 would you prioritize getting in next week?

    A) Fuchs
    B) Heaton (Pickford/Jaku ATM)
    C) Austin
    D) Redmond

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on who you're replacing.
      A for me.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        A) Clyne
        B) Jaku
        C) Deeney
        D) Walcott

        A C or D is one FT. B I can't do without selling Walcott

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B and C

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        0,1 off of doing this, just realized 🙁 Can only get Heaton by selling Walcott

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A & C

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, think this will be it. Pickford had bou so not the worse fixture in the world

  8. Uncle Avram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Whats the opinion on Lallana he hasnt done anything in a while I already have Cout was thinkinh getting rid of Lallana for Chadli

    1. sergioaguero67
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hold

  9. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is a Liverpool midfield triple up needed now?
    Seeing their wicked upcoming fixtures?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      3 is overkill.

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I disagree, they are scoring loads of goals and have done so against the better sides in the league, they now have a great run and are right up there challenging. Nothing wrong with it imho. Just be prepared for a rough week if they cant get past the odd bus they will inevitably come up against. I do think though that it might be a shrewd tactic irrespective of what other people may think. I am considering this seriously myself

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Triple is a bit much. Double maybe. This is what I am considering. I have Firmino and I want Mane too I think

  10. Bushido
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is musa nailed?

  11. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Where does Gundogen play?

    1. Stephen Ireland
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Manchester City

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Man City

      CM

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Early ideas on this lot?

    Pickford Jaku
    Walker Lovren Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Sterling Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney

    1 FT, 0.1 in bank

    Deeney out looks the obvious move? GK is an issue that needs sorting soon.

    Cheers

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i think i'll be doing deeney to austin soon so yep that.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney > Austin.

    3. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney has decent fixtures coming up. Would keep

    4. Jay_
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney to Austin conveniently leaves you the exact cash for Heaton

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        0.1 short I think.

        1. Jay_
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Didn't earn out of the Deeney rise last night?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 17 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Nope 🙁

    5. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Are there any better alternatives to Deeney though?
      Austin may not be nailed(rumours).
      Musa seems the best option in terms of fixtures.
      Rest are terrible.
      Perhaps save and keep 2FTs over the break?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Who says Austin not nailed?

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Been a popular discussion this week woth Boufal starting midweek.

    6. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney to Austin?

    7. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would take the opp to sort the keepers now

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, nearly an instant boost.

    8. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney > Austin for me

    9. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all, guess I'll see if any injuries happen midweek before deciding.

    10. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling out for a cheaper mid (various options such as Siggy, Arnie etc.)

      Then with the money...........

      New keeper (Butland back soon or Heaton/Foster).

      Deeney out for Wilson or Austin

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        -8?

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No way. Butland isn't even back until after the break. I'd personally do Deeney to Austin. Southampton have Hull next match. If you really fancied a -4, I'd shift Sterling out too as he is playing, as far as I can tell, wing back now. Even with Borough fr the next match I am not sure he would be worth keeping if played there (a la Antonio at WHU).

    11. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney to Austin

  13. Carlton P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    C&a

  14. willl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Giroud a good option?

    Can afford Deeney to 9.7 if I do Son to Redmond.

    1. GertJan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd wait and see if he comes straight back into the XI. It could well be that Wenger sticks to Walcott/Ozil/Iwobi/Sanchez. However, if Giroud does start regularly, he'd be a great option IMO.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He won't play like that every week.

  15. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi.....2 questions...

    Who to dispose of first?

    Deeney or benteke?

    Who is the best non arsenal defender to invest in...cost no issue..

    Thanks

  16. Bushido
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Why did callum Wilson play 59 minutes?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Because he was terrible.

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Great question would love an answer. He does get subbed routinely but usually plays 80. Might be tactical?

      Hope he isn't falling out of favour as have a nice fixture coming this week.

  17. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Morgan or Fuchs? and why?

    Trying to decide if the premium is worth the difference in production or not. Pretty similar numbers.

    1. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Fuchs Does well in BAPs

  18. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Coutinho no BPS but Henderson and Moreno have. Do me a favour!!!!!!

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep it does...couts was incisive in the first half and ran the show. I was willing him to score second half.....that would have sealed it IMO

      1. GertJan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Mane, Coutinho and Firmino could all have racked up so many more points today! Seriously, they wasted tons of really great chances, though Palace were truly awful and pretty much didn't defend at all, lol.

        Glad I brought in Coutinho this week. Doubling up on Liverpool assets is already paying off for me.

  19. jurgenklopp.8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    i benched lovren but i don't care! you croatian god!!!

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      this. Lovren ftw

    2. GertJan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nothing wrong with bench points. Means you have the right players. 😉

      Now if only Liverpool would start improving defensively...

  20. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    That Lovren goal is just lovely.

    And the Couts/Firm double actually worked. Really hemmed and hawed before taking Sterling out.

    65 with 3 to go!

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years

      Wow. Great score.

  22. Partick Bateman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Early days but Lukaku & Walcott to Austin & Firmino (have Coutinho) for -4?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No way Lukaku is a season keeper for me atm

      1. Blue Bombers CFC
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Considering similar, not keen on Everton fixtures, plus over the last 4 games they've only scored 3 goals, only issue is, if they do score lukakus normally involved, I've still got Costa which seems a differential looking at the teams around here so quiet like the idea of kep ping him instead

  23. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    47 from 4

    I will be happy to get 20 from the remaining 7

  26. willl
    • 10 Years

    Man U have scored 1 goal in October...

    Surely this poor run can't continue?

    Tempted to punt on Mata/Lingard, is it too much of a risk?
