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.

      I only captained Benteke (C) for the points, anything against Spurs is also points.

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

        I captained him because of Big Fat Sams record against the top teams

        He loves to give them a bloody nose

    Just take the two BAPs off of Coutinho now to save the disappointment later!

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Will he not keep them?

  9. Optimus.

    He evaded the defenders there like he did his taxes

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      He'll get screwed in the shower when they catch up with him though.
      In both cases.

      That was such horrible positioning.

    I wish there was an fpl guardian angel that stopped you from making that bad decision. My team was set, then i decided to take a hit to get Firmino in and play aoa. I would have had Baines' points

      Too soon to regret ?

  13. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    Don't even care about the points Tekkers got me but he is a hero.

    Good chance for a top 4 spot for us now. Just hope Martial does his job like he did today...

        I've still got my captain (Kane) to play. But would be chuffed with 2 captain goals and max bonus on any week. Plus you have another game to go

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

          Away to CP is going to be tough and Spurs will need to pick themselves up after the semi final defeat

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

            Yeah I was thinking that when I saw the Chelsea result. Apparently Spurs dominated so hopefully they can take heart from that. We'll see what happens anyway. Funny that one dgw asset has delivered big so far. Utd defenders getting the clean sheet to I suppose, I got in on Bailly

      Late change of plans brought him in for Ibra instead of getting Henno in for Jak! Shame I captained Negredo though!

        FPL is a game of luck and skill. For every Benteke there is a Negredo and a Lukaku. It is the punts that get you up the leagues. At the beginning of the season many of us punted on Redmond - that was a rubbish punt, but that is FPL. Benteke may have got a red card today before he got his goals then we would be laughing about why Negredo or Lukaku is not a bad captain choice. Fine margins and sometimes it falls for you and sometimes it doesn't.

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          In that Austin / Phillips / Benteke DGW a couple of years ago, the Austin cappers were lolling at the Benteke cappers after the first games.

          Still time for that Negredo hat-trick 🙂

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            It is completely possible tbh. The realm of possibility is vast - just got to hope it falls on the choices you have made.

          Careful what you write Diesel, this could get you in serious bother lol.. Negredo vs Tekkers vs Lukaku, none of them were clear cut choices and all you could say were capable of beating the other when weighing up the pros and cons for each this week.. That's the way the cookie crumbles

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

          Obvious there is a large slice of luck involved, but some FPL players do consistently well year on year, other sink without trace.

        5. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Negredo still has Sunderland at home, which is a huge factor in why people captained him I'd imagine.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I prefer Bravo and Yoshida (9.4) to Forster and Clichy (10.2), that 0.8 could upgrade elsewhere

          Anichebe over Barnes because he actually has a double in GW37 if you are bench boosting.

            Not sexiest at all. Just disgusted I let it happen man or woman. Fair play to her tho.

            How in the name of God did I think Negredo was better pick than benteke. What happens a man's brain sometimes.

              Funny how nobody ever says 'Boy/Man' as if it is relevant. I'll take your word on it though 🙂

                People do use gender references for guys. E.g 'guy', which is mostly used for guys (I.e. boys/men). It's a bit sexist to point out that he said 'girl' in the first place.

            This. Carrying an injury so won't play every game.

          He walked off very cautiously, and was odd time to take him off. But he just sat on the floor by the dugout, wasn't receiving treatment. Possibly just tired. Very odd substitution though.
