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.

    Have high hopes for the rest of this GW.

    Up 5k places to 29k now - it's actually getting respectable.

    10 potential players left so hoping to build on that, although there will be a few Kane captains around I'm sure, Sanchez too.

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'm having an ugly gw so far. Hoping my Kane captain comes off.

    Can't believe I've got triple palace, plus Tekkers captain (Zaha and Hennessey the others). Though I'm sorry about the Rashford and Negredo punts not coming off for some, can't help but think this will end in tears haha

    1. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have the same - and whilst I am glad I avoided Negredo and Rashford, I still I expect it to end in tears for me as well .....

      Haha glad you're around mate!!! Big 90 mins for us here... Plus Zaha.. and I got Hennessey too!

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

        Same here! As a Pool fan I'm cheering for 3-2 to Pool! Coutinho hattie and Henn peno save. Benteke brace assisted by Zaha.

        1. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Mate as long as Firmino isn't involved... ML rival has captained! Worried I haven't got Liverpool cover tbh! But I have to keep differentiating!!!!

        2. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          YES MATE. Finally happening for us 🙂

    The FA cup semis ongoing now is boring

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

    Really need a cup gaol, can't be doing with extra time with Zaha and Coutinho about to start. Terrible planning 🙁

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

      Love him 😀

  14. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Was going to bring Blind in aswell... if Cahill doesn't play or if He gets another clean sheet it won't have paid off as Mawson comes on for Rojo

  15. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years

    Cech is awful. What was he doing?

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

    That was really poor keeping from cech after ageuros long touch

    1. gorilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      should have got that one. awful touch from aguero

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Heavy touch?

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

        Sorry yes that

  17. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Ospina, Martinez, Szczesny, Almunia and a 50 year old Seaman would have saved that.

  18. gorilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    agueroooooo

    THE MAN HIMSELF

  20. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Could use a Benteke blank here. Over 2/3rds of the Top 10k have captained one of Negredo, Rashford, Lukaku, Benteke, Sanchez, Aguero or Kane. With a Benteke blank it becomes a one game shootout.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      When you want it not to happen, it happens.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I agree.

  21. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    What a finish

  22. drughi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha and firmino show is a ust now with the man utd CS

  23. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    If u own benteke but didn't captain him u want him to do well right?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Of course. Only 10% captained him in Top 10K anyway.

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

      Yes of course.

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

      Yes. But trust me, Donkeyteke will return today

    4. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      We all love points Capt or not

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      As long as Firmino outscore a him. Yes

  24. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Wow this ref is garbage

  25. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I dropped Aguero for Negrado. I deserve every bit of punishment

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      One game shootout though. Negredo vs Sunderland and Aguero vs Utd.

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

      I can see Pep starting Jesus on Thursday

      1. Alan_T
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I really can't.

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Auger is 6m more expensive and both have a game to go with negredo playing the team bottom of the league

    4. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      United will win 0-1.

  26. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero vs Boro
    Gabbi vs Hull

    Only one can be chosen oh god 🙁

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      One with pre-injury form, the other with form and history.

  27. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Gotta drop my plan of getting Jesus on Wildcard. Probably just wait watch for a couple of gameweeks to see where he fits in.
    Sane looks a good option till that time.

  28. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    What's arsene waiting for? Make some changes ffs

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

      Nevermind

  29. Alan_T
    • 8 Years

    Game on
