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.

    I was just wondering what people are refering to when they say "my mini-league".
    I think everyone is part of many classic and h2h leagues, so which one are they considering as "their" mini-league?

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

      The one played with my friends, the one with work colleagues etc.

    2. potatoace

      I only know two people watching the PL. Everyone is a Barcelona or Real Madrid fan where I live. That sucks.

          Just seen that pietersdidnt play today. Spent a lot of time deciding between brunt and pieters. Time wastage aside, making the right choice and getting nothing tops it off

          Probably karma for last week's heavy benchwankery

          A silly question from me....

          I plan to use WC in GW36..
          Can I activate it tonight but then keep changing players until Gw 36 deadline ??
          I see 3 in my plans are possibly rising tonight..

          To be the best, you have to believe you're the best.

              The converse holds true for them

              To be the worst, you absolutely have to believe you are - it's tough otherwise

          First crack at a chasing WC done - thoughts?

          Cech

          Gabriel Azpi Stephens

          Ozil (diff) Eriksen Redmond (diff) Sane

          Lukaku Kane Gabbi

          Caballero / King / Bavies / Holgate

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Nice, particularly Ozil. Looking at Ox myself. Think he might take Walcott's place in the front three on the right.

          • 9 Years

          Just checked the site, and it says Ibra is most captained this week. Surely there aren't so many dead teams?

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

            Maybe there are lots of benchwankers

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

              You wouldn't keep an asset like Ibra for bench wnkery

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Shows how split this week's choice of captain was ... do we know what % "picked" Ibra

          • 10 Years

            9 years, 1 month ago

            Well the positives are that Gabbi will be fresh for the dgw...4 points inbound!
