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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

  2. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Where the hell did my Deeney assist go.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      🙁

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      it's with tupac now 🙁

    3. Blanka
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

  3. Bhau cha dhakka
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Bhau cha dhakka
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If u must
      Siggy-Firmino
      Son-Redmond/Chadli

    3. Carlton P
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Williams > pieters
      Son > Firmino??

  4. KJT123
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. KJT123
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

    2. Carlton P
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia > Kingsley and you've got enough right?

      1. KJT123
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

  5. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My Deeney assist has gone 🙁

    Might just sell him now!

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm selling but not just for that.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I wasn't but now I am

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Fat Drake probably gone from mine as well

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But who to bring in? Not feeling Austin

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Struggling for options, Defoe?

            1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I've not looked at Sun fixtures tbh

            2. Carlton P
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

  6. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah maybe so. Just not liking defense next week.

    2. Jay_
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

          2. Swan - Villa Proud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers Jay

      • SheBangsTheDrums
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yea man. He's the best pick

        2. battystutor
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes!

      • S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

      • Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month 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.

      • RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. rocky7st
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Same 🙁 And I could have done Sanchez 13 too

        2. BLANKET DEFENCE
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Same. Never going differential captain again. Ever

        3. EDEN THE MAN
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Unlucky

        Damn Mané (c) 🙁

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

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years

          Well done 🙂

            • 10 Years

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

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

          1. Jazz!

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

          A Lukaku hattie would be lovely tomorrow

        4. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

        5. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Best defender for under 5.6? For next 5 weeks ?

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Have lovren and want to ditch vertonghen for 5 weeks

        2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fuchs

        3. Carlton P
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • Gemgem1010
        • 9 Years

        * fallers * tonight

      • Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Looks good

      • FredUpAlready
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. rocky7st
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Too much rotation going on at Leicester

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

        Deeney to Musa? Or save FT?

      • Pompel
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Walcott + Sanchez owners, are you selling Wally?

      • EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How r u guys doing

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

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Great score, well played mucker

      • how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

          Fuchsia in seems like a good shout

      • Psojkee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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...

      • Z
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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)

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

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

        Or

        B. Son > Firmino, play Kosc and Holebas

            9 years, 1 month 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.

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

        Yay or Nay?

          Walcott should be back so nay

        Any decent £7.1m Strikers other than Austin?

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

          Morgan and save a bit of cash. Or Alonso.

            Alonso is good shout but those fixtures look tough

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

        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..

          Can't believe he was taken off for Fellaini.

            didn't make sense at all
