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.

    Redmond or Chadli?

    1. Blanka
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I'm planning on Redmond to Chadli after Hull next week. WBA few tasty fixtures.

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

    Where the hell did my Deeney assist go.

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 9 days ago

      🙁

    2. the axolotl
      10 years, 9 days ago

      it's with tupac now 🙁

    3. Blanka
      10 years, 9 days ago

      That's why I scored less than what I worked out after bps. Grrr.

  3. Bhau cha dhakka
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Foster pickford
    Williams Vertonghen Holebas Smith Amat
    Coutinho sanchez siggy capoue Son
    Kun lukaku Deeney

    1 Ft and 0.1 in the bank and i need to fit in Firmino

    I know i need to make a host of changes to make that possible
    Anyone with the suggestions what should be the changes ?

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He scores 1 goal and all of a sudden you need to fit him in

      1. Bhau cha dhakka
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Not just about 1 goal.Doubling up on pool mids seems the best idea.

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      10 years, 9 days ago

      If u must
      Siggy-Firmino
      Son-Redmond/Chadli

    3. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Williams > pieters
      Son > Firmino??

  4. KJT123
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Pickford Jakupovic
    Lovren Valencia Stones Friend Evans
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Capoue Mirallas
    Austin Aguero Lukaku

    2 FT

    0.6 ITB

    How do I get Coutinho in from this point?

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

      How much is Mirallas? If you downgrade Valencia to Pieters, can you afford him?

      1. KJT123
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Nope

    2. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Valencia > Kingsley and you've got enough right?

      1. KJT123
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Nope

  5. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 9 days ago

    My Deeney assist has gone 🙁

    Might just sell him now!

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

      I'm selling but not just for that.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I wasn't but now I am

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah Fat Drake probably gone from mine as well

      1. JAC THE CAT
        10 years, 9 days ago

        But who to bring in? Not feeling Austin

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          10 years, 9 days ago

          See how he does tomorrow, I would have said Wilson but he seems to get subbed early a lot

          1. JAC THE CAT
            10 years, 9 days ago

            Struggling for options, Defoe?

            1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
              10 years, 9 days ago

              I've not looked at Sun fixtures tbh

            2. Carlton P
              10 years, 9 days ago

              See how Austin does
              3-5-2, ayew/siggy/arnie/lallana great options

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

    -8 anyone?

    Pickford, Jaku
    Walker, Clyne, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Coutinho, Allen
    Kun, Lukaku, Deeney

    1FT, 0.1M ITB

    Thinking Austin (for Deeney), Redmond (Walcott), Fucjs (Clyne or even Amat) or Heaton (Jaku) in. Alright doing 2 of them for a -4 as well.
    Thoughts?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Hmm, I actually think you should just do Deeney > Austin.

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

        Yeah maybe so. Just not liking defense next week.

    2. Jay_
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I actually prefer Redmond to Austin. Wish he was classified as a forward. Unsure on Deeney to Austin

      1. Blanka
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Just play a 5 man midfield and treat him as a forward then.....

        1. Jay_
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Would mean a -4 to drop Deeney to bench fodder. Too risky

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

        Cheers Jay

  7. SheBangsTheDrums
    10 years, 9 days ago

    I've got the exact funds to do Wally to Coutinho tonight ahead of his rise!

    Worth pulling the trigger now?

    1. Bhau cha dhakka
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yea man. He's the best pick

    2. battystutor
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Yes!

  8. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 9 days ago

    All those hot topics and articles about keeping or selling Aguero 😛

    1. Kessler
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Never sell Aguero. Only casuals would say something ridiculous like that! 😉

  9. Bolivian Seaman
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Ibrahimovic is strange, I can understand that he may be getting old but was he purposely trying to kick the ball really softly?

    1. Fluctus de Mutilatio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      May want to ask Heaton's right arm that question.

      To be fair, I did notice a couple instances along the lines you're describing. Not converting the cross from pog was criminal.

  10. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Deeney points gone from 10 to 4 whole Sergi sits on 16 :(... I deserved this.

    1. rocky7st
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Same 🙁 And I could have done Sanchez 13 too

    2. BLANKET DEFENCE
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Same. Never going differential captain again. Ever

    3. EDEN THE MAN
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Unlucky

  11. Gemgem1010
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Risers and fullers trite??

  12. Jazz!
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Damn Mané (c) 🙁

    Anyway, still a solid week so far with 54 points. 🙂

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

      Well done 🙂

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I can see your cheeky smile with that score of yours 😉

        Seriously though, lovely week Westy!

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

          Cheers 🙂

          1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
            10 years, 9 days ago

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

      well done Jazz, he'll get a haul at some point. He always does. 68 from 9 here

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Wow nice! 🙂

      2. Arn De Gothia
        10 years, 9 days ago

        68 from 7 🙂

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

      Well played, sir. And bad luck with the Mané pick.

      A Lukaku hattie would be lovely tomorrow

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      10 years, 9 days ago

      he missed some sitters, wasn't your fault - blame him

    5. Cok3y5murf
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I can never captain a Liverpool mid again. Any of those 4 can score and any of the 4 can blank.

  13. Emiliano Sala
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Best defender for under 5.6? For next 5 weeks ?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Have lovren and want to ditch vertonghen for 5 weeks

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Fuchs

    3. Carlton P
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Fuchs easily
      I did Valencia > Fuchs
      Fuchs > alonso/zouma gw16??

  14. Gemgem1010
    10 years, 9 days ago

    * fallers * tonight

  15. Dirty Harry
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Hey lads. Hope you all are doing well this week so far.

    Looking at using my 2FT for this exact swap.

    Walcott+Deeney > Coutinho+Austin

    Walcott injury is minor and should recover but with Giroud/Ramsey and a bit tougher run I'm happy to cash in and double up on Liverpool mids.

    Deeney 3 blanks in a roow. Eaten too many pies and fixture run is rollercoaster like. Austin great form and fixtures but hasnt played this week yet.

    Can do the swap tonight before price changes for free.

    1. Blue Bombers CFC
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Looks good

  16. FredUpAlready
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Best replacements for Son and Deeney? Have exactly 14.5M.
    Is Musa worth the punt?

    1. rocky7st
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Too much rotation going on at Leicester

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

    Deeney to Musa? Or save FT?

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

    Walcott + Sanchez owners, are you selling Wally?

  19. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 9 days ago

    How r u guys doing

    I'm well chuffed; 80 with Lukaku and Williams to go.

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

      Great score, well played mucker

  20. how now brown cow
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Valencia, Walcott, Williams, Sterling, Antonio, Amat.

    All manner of problems to sort. Valencia to Fuchs the best start?

    1. Z
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Valencia is your only real concern, maybe Amat too if he doesn't get back into the first team.
      The rest is just monetary, ask the bank for a loan.

    2. Blue Bombers CFC
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Fuchsia in seems like a good shout

  21. Psojkee
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Want to do Snoddy+Valencia > Redmond+Fuchs
    Have exactly money for this
    Any rise/drops kill this
    Do it now? Or waiting for Sout game and Leicester in UCL, then i can get only Morgan...

  22. Z
    10 years, 9 days ago

    My defence looked like great value coming into this weekend,
    now it feels sketchier than a notepad.
    Cameron, Holebas, Smith // Valencia, Amat

    (i) Cameron hyperextended his knee and is currently a doubt for MNF
    (ii) Holebas AND Smith are on 4 yellows
    (iii) Amat may have dropped out of the starting XI

    That said, would it be worth hitting on Valencia to Fuchs/Alonso?
    Not rushing obviously!
    (other transfer will most likely be Son to KDB)

  23. Ha.
    10 years, 9 days ago

    A. Love > Stones and play ahead of Kosc/Holebas, play Son

    Or

    B. Son > Firmino, play Kosc and Holebas

  24. BLANKET DEFENCE
    10 years, 9 days ago

    What are people on with how many left.

    I'm on 51 with lukaku, payet, redmond and pieters

    1. Bhau cha dhakka
      10 years, 9 days ago

      55 with lukaku and siggy

    2. oghash
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I have 12 with 4 left

      1. Z
        10 years, 9 days ago

        12!?

        1. oghash
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Sorry, typo, 13

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

      Lukaku C, Allen, Austin and Williams left

      53 points

    4. Skyarm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      62 With Kaku and Alonso

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

      56 with 4 left incl Luka (c)

    6. GoonerByron
      10 years, 9 days ago

      53 with Lukaku (c), Allen, Redmond to go

    7. the axolotl
      10 years, 9 days ago

      60, 3 left. i know it's decent, but could have been quite a bit more so a bit underwhelmed. should see me into a 6 figure rank, after a thoroughly rubbish season thus far

      1. BLANKET DEFENCE
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Same here. I'm disappointed too. went deeney captain when i had aguero and sanchez. The asist being taken away from deeney makes it even worst.

    8. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      72 with Hazard, Lukaku and Austin

    9. Z
      10 years, 9 days ago

      50 with only 8/13 outfield players. Lukaku (c) tomorrow.

    10. Dirty Harry
      10 years, 9 days ago

      73 with Allen and Pieters

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

      64 Lukaku and Allen left

    12. Fluctus de Mutilatio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      76. Costa Luk Siggy Allen remaining. Very lucky to have all 3 super heroes today.

      1. djpete
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Hokusai is definitely a big gun

    13. Arn De Gothia
      10 years, 9 days ago

      68 with costa, williams, allen and grant 🙂

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 9 days ago

        82 with williams left

  25. Junior ⚽
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Robbed of a Deeney assist and Coutinho BAPS.

    1. the axolotl
      10 years, 9 days ago

      there there

      1. Junior ⚽
        10 years, 9 days ago

        ;(

  26. Skyarm
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Sanchez>De Bruyne bc of fixtures or is it still uncertain as to whether KDB will play

  27. donkey73
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Does this make any sense?

    Walcott+Allen+Lukaku -> Hazard+Chadli+Austin

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Skyarm
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Walcott should be back so nay

  28. Junior ⚽
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Any decent £7.1m Strikers other than Austin?

    1. dhamphiir
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Musa

  29. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Liverpool defence no go right? Strugling to decide who to bring for Mustafi. Not sure about Fuchs and Stones

    1. Junior ⚽
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Morgan and save a bit of cash. Or Alonso.

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Alonso is good shout but those fixtures look tough

    2. Ha.
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Why not Stones? Looks good for 2/3 cleansheets?

  30. Champione
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Juan Mata's game by numbers vs. Burnley:

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

    ... could have been a brilliant punt, but..

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

      Can't believe he was taken off for Fellaini.

      1. Champione
        10 years, 9 days ago

        didn't make sense at all
