With just two goals from Saturday’s action so far, we now turn to the tea-time kick-off at Selhurst Park to provide some much-needed entertainment and Fantasy returns.

Crystal Palace host Burnley having enjoyed an influx of investment on the back of their double Gameweek 34, ensuring that many will have interest in this evening’s encounter.

Christian Benteke – one of the few success stories with a 14-point return – heads into the match backed by 608,000+ FPL managers, with 172,000 opting to hand him the captaincy ahead of the Clarets clash – that includes 21 of the top 100 managers.

In contrast, Wilfried Zaha owes his recent investors. He was brought in by 144,000+ ahead of Gameweek 34 only to return just three points. More than 46,000 have shipped him out ahead of today’s clash.

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

    Moyes is such a crap manager. Ten years the black cats survive relegation then he takes over and instantly down. He even laughs doesn't seem to care when they lose etc, hardly a passionate or inspiring manager. What a waste of space

    3. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I screwed myself by benching Jaku over Pickford.

    4. NATSTER

      Oh.. I just know it was gonna be Yoshida's assist. 😮

    "Come on You Gunners!"

    Another chant. Also: Come On You Gooners.

    Hashtag: #COYG

    As an aside: on North London Derby day (see: North London Derby), the enemy is readily identified on Twitter because Spurs fans (see: Tottenham, the enemy) use the grammatically incorrect #COYS.

    Is this right ?
    Why is that wrong ?
    I'm not an english man. Can anybody explain please ?

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

      I study Linguistics.

      What??

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

        Why come on you spurs is gramatically incorrect ?

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

          Oh well you can be a gunner, but not a spur (to make things simple). Spurs is the shortened nickname for the team, not the members of the team, wherease gunners is both. COYS sounds like satire. Sounds like a joke, like "come on you......Arsenal" or "come on you... England".

          Having said that, I quite like it. And there's not really such a thing as "ungrammatical". It it works it works. Substituting one word for another doesn't effect the underlying structure, so all that matters is that it has communicative value. And in this case it does. For me it's unnatural but funny. For spurs fans who use it all the time, perhaps it's grammatical.

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

            I.E. 1 gunner > a team of gunners (yep)
            1 spur (cannot) > a team of spurs (nope)
            The gunners are good (yep)
            The spurs are good (grammatical but doesnt refer to Spurs the team)
            Gunners are good (grammatical but doesn't refer to Arsenal)
            Spurs are good (yep)
            The arsenal/Spurs are good (nope)

            1. Emiliano Sala
              • 9 Years

              Thanks man

      wot?

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No idea what they mean by incorrect....If the motto was written today, it'd likely be, "C'mon - instead of come on - You Spurs"

      If it's the "You Spurs" part that they feel is incorrect, I dont think they're right.

    This week has kinda gone as expected, but at the same time it has quite not gone as expected.

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

      No.

  19. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    All change at the wildcard ranch!!

    Cabellero, Pickford
    Alonso, Monreal, Stephens, Holgate, Benaloane
    Sanchez, Hazard, Sane, JWP, King
    Costa, Kane, Jesus

    0 ITB!! Decent?

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

      Jwp didn't play today.

      Ben Isn't nailed as Morgan may be back soon...

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

        Bit I like....

        Love the front 3....and you need to make compromises at the back with that....

        1. Krafty Werks
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks for reply, what about this?

          Cabellero, Pickford
          Cahill, Gabriel, Yoshida, Stephens, Holgate
          Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, King, Albrighton
          Costa, Kane, Jesus

          Is that better? More nailed? Jesus dependant obviously...thanks for your input.

  20. Fowler23

    Zero goals for the home side in 5 matches

  21. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hennessey and Zaha gotta be among worst traansfers this season esp as I sold Heaton and Siggy for them prior to GW34

  22. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why did I keep benteke for this.

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

    OUT: Stones, Zaha, Benteke
    IN: Gabriel, Hazard and Anichebe

    -8

    Front 7 of Hazard, Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Sane, Kane, Jesus.

    Straightforward enough moves?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King still has good fixtures

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

        Have somehow missed the King boat all season. Continually punished.

        But focusing on dgw players with something to play for....

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Anchiebe worthless Jesus may not even start. And all for -8

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

        Anichebe worth 4 points and enables Hazard. Plenty of value there, I would argue.

        I already have Jesus - so not too relevant to the question.

        If we assume Stones plays 1 match in 37 - that is 6 matches for the price of 3. Pays for the -8....?

  24. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Started Caballero instead of Jaku.
    Oh well. Maybe Willy will strain something in the warm up.

  25. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anybody here played 14p Jaku?

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      me!

      1. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Congratulations, last two weeks my bench was the strongest part of my team

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

      Coming in for Grant 😆

      1. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aaaa, how does it feel? 😀

      2. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's just dumb though - how did you not realise Grant wasn't playing? Pure luck!

    3. PlayPercentage
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not many in the top 10k, I expect. Lots of casuals, maybe.
      The odds were on Southampton scoring at home. Especially when they got a penalty...

      1. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I hope so, but would be such a green arrow for anyone playing him. But I agree it's because of the hype of Gabbi C too, he brought to me 2p,great week so far.

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

        Think it was 6% of the Top 10k played him.....

    4. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jaku + King !

      1. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago
