The final double Gameweek side take to the pitch in Sunday’s late kick-off, with Crystal Palace making the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Fantasy managers will, of course, be focused on both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke in the Palace attack, with both commanding 144,000+ and 148,000 new Fantasy Premier League owners for Gameweek 34 respectively.

Benteke is skippered by 96214 (2.1%) of his owners as he bids to extend a run of three goals in his last four outings. He’ll face his former club in form, then, with Zaha and Andros Townsend tasked with providing him with the ammunition.

While Sam Allardyce’s side have every motivation to earn a third successive win at Anfield, Liverpool also have every incentive to claim a victory.

Their quest for a top spot and Champions League qualification goes on, with Fantasy managers focused on the efforts and output of Brazilian pair Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Coutinho has been signed by over 34,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 34, with Firmino earning 58,000+ new owners following his run of returns in six consecutive Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    37 with 8 to go including captain kane

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Very nice

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      54 with 7 to play with the armband on Benteke C

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      that's not half bad

  2. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Jaku & Holgate on the bench

    Hoping for a no show from Valdes and one other - Valencia, Walker, Alonso, Son, Eriksen, Sanchez

  3. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Went King captain this week, and Kane captain last GW. Both got hauls, but I cant help feel disappointed in their returns 😐

    Triple nice day for a Utd fan with Benteke as captain 🙂

    1. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You talking to me? 😉

      1. jam
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Both of us I think... 🙂
        Midweek will be interesting

        1. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, anything more he gets is a bonus

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I know Zaha has BUR but would you shift him to Sane for FT?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      nope i got him in with 35 in mind.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Depends how much game time v United as he is due a rest is he not and Swansea with Gabriel Jesus back might be the game

  6. mike_89
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Surely they r going to rewiev second Palace goal right? If anyone touched it, it was Firimino and not Pouncheon, so I would assume asist will go to Townsend?

  7. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I know i am gonna replace siggy with king this week , so it's really difficult not to press the button .
    Like you know in the end this what you are gonna do, so why not do it now and be at peace .

    It's so tempting

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      hold out mate

  8. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    How is this plan going forward:

    Hen / Pick
    Alonso / Valencia / Holegate / B. Davies / Bertrand
    Sanchez / Siggy / Eriksen / Zaha / De Roon
    Benteke / Negredo / Kane

    6m itb 1FT, no wildcard

    GW 35 Negredo + De Roon > Gabbi + King (-4)
    GW 36 Siggy + Davies > Yoshida + Hazard (-4)
    GW 37 Benteke + Valencia > Jesus + Kompany (-4)

    4 DGW players in 36
    11 DGW players in 37 with 4 SGW with good fixtures for the BB

    Thoughts with any changes would be appreciated 🙂

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

    Thoughts on best 3rd striker on a WC?

    Not convinced by either Rashford or Jesus based on rotation and number of games for Rashford

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Gabbi

      But who are your others?

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Excluding Gabbi and Kane as they seem template!

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Benteke seems form player

  10. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Great week to play my AOA, my defense so far has gotten me 0, 0, 1, 0, and allowing to me play King

    It's not as useless as people think 😉

    1. GuillermoDickero
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Used mine and my defence currently has 6 and 9 on my bench 🙂

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

    On a scale of 1 to 10, how desperate are you to get Alexis back in for GW 36?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Iv got him and if I didn't I wouldn't be in any rush. Hazard is a better option. Could even go as far to say Coutinho without a double even

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        ive got haz already, just wary of Sanchez having 4 games in 2 GWs

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He never left me.

      1. Lord.

        This

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Wijnaldum stole a Coutinho bap!

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Did Puncheon really touch it? Haven't seen any replay from side on but for me it looked like it only came off the defender.

    That sums up my season.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      the real question is why you did that?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I did it too, people acting like Negredo has never scored a goal before. Don't feel bad, only half-way and better than not having him at all

      2. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Fixtures mostly. But I suppose when Benteke shoots a lot, the fixture is irrelevant.

    2. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Me too

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Messi has failed to score in 9 of the last 11 El Classico games. Including the last 6 😯

    Looking forward to selling Ronnie in his new striker role 🙂

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Madrid win will be nail in the coffin for Barca's season

      All the motivation Ronnie needs 🙂

    2 Baps for Blind 😎

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Was sooo close to TC'ing him.

      1. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ooohh. Be happy you have him at least. 🙂 He delivered on his bonus potential

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He has always been a baps monster

      1. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yep. And he lived up to it once again

    3. EmreCan Hustle

  17. F4L

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Best differential captain for next week?

    A - Gabbi
    B - Eriksen
    C - kaku

    or just play it safe with Kane?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'm looking at Gabbi though I do have benteke

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'm gonna captain Kane...Kaku isn't the best in big games, Eriksen hard to predict and Hull are pretty solid.

  18. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like I'll be up to 20k 🙂

    Know some on here are even far better than that, but happy as haven't fallen victim to second season woes yet!

  19. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    The real question is....

    will Benteke score against Spurs?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Here's hoping but if he doesn't I'm happy with 28 points from him as capitano

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No, we actually have decent centre backs in the air.

      Thanks Liverpool.

    3. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't rule it out tbh

  20. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Is Daniels worth bringing in for rest of season for Valencia?No doubles but great fixtures and may play as many as Valencia if not more! Possible captain material next week away to Sunderland

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not for me, a lot of better options with 1/2 games more

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Im almost certain i will get him. Rather him in 37 than most dgw defenders

  21. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Next gw Bou and City have easy fixtures so
    Sanchez and DRoon to King and Sane for -4?

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

    Not sure what to do for this coming week. I want Kane but Lukaku, Benteke and Rashford all have good games, either through being at home and/or the opposition themselves. I already have Eriksen and Alli too. Could do Sigurdsson to Sane too.....

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Kane may rise tonight !

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

        Yeah but I have about 7m in the bank so that's fine.

    2. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Surely get him for rashford

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        (Who may not even start)

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

        Swansea though. They have been pretty woeful recently.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sell Benteke - Palace will be planning their holidays

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

        You reckon? I can't see Allardici letting his team get the sunglasses out just yet.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Of the players you have to sell yes Benteke is your man, tough decision but Palace are safe, Benteke has had his run of goals so now he will start trolling again

          Or Lukaku ...

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

            Hahahah Or Rashford....

            It is a tough one. I wonder if Rashford will get played on the wing with a preference for Martial as the striker? If that is the case, I think I'd prefer to sell him. I hate this game at times.

  23. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Any of king or siggy gonna change in price tonight?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      King could rise

  24. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    RMWC n°3 :

    Lloris Pickford
    Alonso Stones Montreal Cedric Holgate
    Eriksen Ozil Hazard King Sane
    Jesus Kane Gabbi

    0.0ITB

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil is interesting. I would try for Toby, Cech and Yoshida instead of Monreal, Lloris and Cedric.

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

    What's the average for the top 10k?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Too high.

    2. Fred54

      23.

    3. Sweetboi

    4. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years

      Not too bad then

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Got Yoshida. Double up with

    A Stephens or
    B Cedric or
    C Don't just keep Yoshida

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. seanmcging
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I'd say C

    2. Jakarta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      C, horrible DGW fixtures

    3. Speédy

    El Classico. Easily the best game in football!

          1. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years

            Hahahaha...what a claim from WR.

            1. Pirlø's Pen
              • 10 Years

              Hah WR what a fool

      2. Pirlø's Pen
        • 10 Years

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That's probably the best El Classico I've ever watched. What a game!

  28. Speédy

  29. sunzip14
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    ML leader captained Benteke and me Lukaku. He does not have Sanchez, Hazard and Kane. How many points do you think will these 3 earn for me to cover grounds?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A lot.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Enough.

  30. La Roja
