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.

    3. Live Lad

      Perhaps they leave him to face Burnley with cash itb to upgrade for 37.

      Can't answer re Gabriel but I'm looking at him as part of a double ARS defence

    Which city def is worth getting on a WC guys?

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cabellero

      1. marquinhos

        Kompany?

        1. Top 210 Club
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          No

          • 12 Years

          I feel he's too much ££ personally. Still plenty of time to change my mind on that though

  6. Legomane

    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth keeping Heaton on WC.
    Sale value only 4.8 and has WBA bou WHU...
    He could easily outscore Caballero (bravo return possible) or Cech/Forster (extra games but tricky ones).
    Other consideration is that rival now owns Heaton and doesn't have WC so will be keeping...we're pretty much neck in neck after today i think.
    Thoughts?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I agree, I'm trying to fit both Heaton & Caballero into my WC team

      3. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Saints and Arsenal dgw not the big DGW.

    palace tactics of long balls was something from the 1920's

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

      Different biology back then

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Will my Willy need Kompany soon?

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

      Always been lonely I suspect

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        well Kompany has been injured for a long time

  11. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    What's the template?

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

      It's the most frequent players in a team, from which people deviate only slightly in order to gain slight advantages where they can.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I meant to say, how is the template looking like. 😀

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

          It's looking a bit uninspiring

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah
            I am looking at differentials

      2. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That was nice of you though

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Negredo

  12. Ballistics
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Well Hennessy has been an absolute bust for me. Missed out on 20 Jaku points these past two weeks.

  13. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best captain for GW36?

    Sanchez

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nah.

      Going with hazard
      They are facing championship side

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Hmmm true

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

      Probably Sanchez is the safest. Probably Sanchez is the best. But SGWers like Kane and Jesus and Hazard and Costa and Alonso look good

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

      On Costa but could be Haz

    4. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      My DGW captain options in 36 suddenly don't look that appealing... Ozil or Gabbiadini

      Anyone going with Hazard or Costa (MID) instead of a DGWer?

  14. FANTASYFOOTBALLPRO
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    whats afobe injury story

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Local press reporting "a couple of weeks out" after doing a hammy.

      Shame for him with such a good run of fix

  15. Spursfan9
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    3 players played for a total of 4 points. Also one autosub to be made, JWP - Siggy.

    I haven't been this disappointed with a GW since... Well last week!

  16. fplking14
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    is kane essential in your team?

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

      In my team he's essential. Otherwise I'd only have 14 players

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How bad does man want Costa?

  18. Sideways Backwards
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Trusting my 2 year old daughter to pick who to bench out of Sanchez, sane or king didn't work out too well so far 🙁

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

      Wait till she's three

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Giving her the option of king was my mistake

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

          Kid's love royalty

          And benches

          That's why old mean sit on park benches in long billowing cloaks

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Let me guess, benched King?

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yep, I take full responsibility 🙂

    3. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Never bench king.

      People never learn.

      1. La Galatica
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        made that mistake 4 times. this time i did not. i shall not leave him on the bench again

  19. Jude Rooney
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any news on Valdes?

    Desperate for the 14 points from Jaku on bench

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You played Valdes vs Man City over Jaku?

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Expected both to concede and figured on more save points from Valdes.

        Stand by decision albeit can see why hindsight makes it look foolish.

        1. Hakuho FPL
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I hope Valdes play then

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

      Could be onto a winner there

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Hope so mate - you heard anything?

  20. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Ditch Gabbi for Costa?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I would do it if I had a WC

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        would be for a hit

    2. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's one game, he's still a decent pick. But obviously see how Costa does

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        cheers sounds sensible

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

    For 36 onwards:

    A) Holgate & Costa
    B) Maguire & Lukaku

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

      A

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years

  24. Rainer

    Potentially starting no Saints players next GW, some change!

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah the wc appeal's worn off somewhat.

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

          If I remember correctly, didn't you play Pickford over Jaku?

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Great to see TM take my advice last night and wildcard a week early.

      While Mark was killing time with the most uninspiring transfer imaginable (Kelly for a free), TM seized the initiative and used this treading-water gameweek to execute a classic pincher movement.

      This could go down to the wire. The only question is ... Which side are you on? #TeamMark or #TeamTorresMagic

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        It wasn't your advice. My defence said to do it.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Mark has already won btw.

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

          Strong measures taking out an attorney for FPL uses. Way to get ahead of the game though

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Made transfers over 5 hours later.

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              I planted the seed.

        3. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          While Mark is in a state of inertia waiting for 36, you are looking to rinse 35 for points and leapfrog him, TM. Smart move and a Clever strategy.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Wcing weeks ago would have been better tbh.

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

              Looking at the mods and cons mini league, it's all to play for at the top.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        A defender to play vs Boro in 37.

      4. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years

        It's risky. Only you can decide if you're willing to take the risk.
