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.

    Need really huge hauls from Kane (C) and Hazard tomorrow! Kane:30 Hazard:10 will be okay

      Minimum 🙂

  2. Rainer

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Ozil if you won't use the spare cash

    2. Sangano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil. More games and no rotation risk

      Thanks!

    Which is better?

    A) Caballero & Gabriel
    B) Pickford & Monreal

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      B

    2. Legohair

      A

    3. Rainer

    1. Rainer

      Don't go there.

    2. Sangano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      forget about it

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He comes lively end of the season all the time, might actually punt on him.

  6. AA33
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jakupovic and Barnes on my bench

      Beat that 😎

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

        Loving Jaku on my ML rivals bench !

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Same lol he nearly was on mine,but Pickford hasnt got me much and Sunderland r shocking so figured Kali was the lesser of the two evils even away from home. Been waiting for a penalty save all season, awesome. So pleased for hull recently really hope they stay up, great manager great effort alround

        2. Vinyl78LP
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          ...they are on my cash ML rivals too, but should De Gea be rotated tomorrow the s**t hits the fan.

    • Tronity
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone fancy feeding back on my WC team?

      Massive issue with Anichebe but not sure how else to get around it!

      Cabellero/Pickford
      Blind, Gabriel, Yoshida, Stephens, Holgate
      Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Sane, King
      Kane, Costa, Anichebe

      £0.3itb. BB'ing in 37.

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

        Defence could work out for you, but personally I'm planning a premium lineup at the back. Attacking threat could help your week explode

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

          Thanks, I've lost a bunch of value by selling McAuley, Siggy and Lukaku so my TV seems to be really restricting me. Where you are you sacrificing to fund the premium defence?

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

            Getting Anichebe over Kane most likely. No Spurs mids, no Sanchez. Considering going wild with KdB & Silva instead

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

              My TV less than 103M

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

                Same as mine (£2.9m) Who would your front 3 be? No Spurs mid/attack sounds risky but definitely considering ditching Sanchez.

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

                  Cech Pickford
                  Alonso Yoshi Monreal Rose Kosc
                  Silva KdB Sane Hazard JWP
                  Costa Jesus Anichebe

                  I did that over a week ago though, so it's subject to a lot of change. JWP, Sane, Kos, Rose, Yoshi may go. As may others

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

                    Definitely isn't template! You'll either shoot up the rankings, or shoot down!!

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

                      UP UP UP

        1. Legomane
          • 10 Years

          This

      3. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        consider swapping alli for erik

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

          Thanks, will do. I've got a lot of value in Alli so will wait until after the game before selling him just in case Eriksen gets injured:-)

      4. grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Anichebe is a worthwhile compromise to get the big 4 imo. My team looks similar except I have Luiz and Clichy for Blind and Stephens, Erik for Ali.

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Why not King> Fraser?
          And get a Chelsea defender at the back?

          U will need bou coverage for Gw 37 only!

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

            Thanks, I'll look into this but certainly sounds good!

        2. Tronity
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Have you got Caballero too and doubling up on City def? Trying to spread the defenders across as many different teams as I can but I certainly prefer Luiz and Clichy over Blind and Stephens.

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

        Very nice.

        Not on wildcard myself, but going Jesus instead of Costa and Eriksen instead of King.

        Maybe only need 1 Sot defender?

        But all in all - looks great.

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

          Nice one! The double Sot is mainly due to incredible value. Can't think of any other £4.1/£4.4 defenders who would be better picks.

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

            Yes - at that price point, hard to beat.

            If you did ever want to gamble on Jesus over Costa, you would be looking at a premium defender though.

      6. diesel001

        Template.

    • We Will Klopp you

      Start 2 please:
      A. Holgate

    • Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on Pickford in WC squad, now that SUN are relegated? Worth keeping?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No more or less than he was before relegation.

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

        Not when Cech & Willy are available for 10m

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

          However now that the Gabbi ship is preparing to sail from Southampton docks, the extra £££ in the bank may prove useful

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Still get save points I suppose.

        Sunderland might win now the pressures off.

    • ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Benched Jaku!

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That was a bit daft considering he was due a pen save.

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

          I know!

    • FFrulesmylife
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I need help guys.
      Big help.

      Jaku/Cech
      Holg stones Bertrand maguire Evans

      Sanchez son Alli Sterling Ox

      Costa aguero gabbi

      Do I bench boost this next week? I have gabbi Ox Sanchez betrand and Cech playing twice.

      Then I can TC in week 37?

      Please advise

      WC active. 😀

      Fun times.

      Kane - Costa - Jesus incoming. 😎

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yessir!

      2. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Same. Probably

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sane in there as well.

        • diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Holding off on Jesus until I see the game tomorrow. May get injured again etc.

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thankfully, I can get rid of Zaha now. Utter waste of space he's been since I got him in.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          So much this.

          Utter failure.

        2. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yup ditto. He's going for Sanchez

      4. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Think I might bench boost next week, what do you think?
        Jaku - pickford
        Maguire - jagielka - yoshida - pieters - Daniels
        Sanchez - alli - king - jwp - hazard
        Kane - Kun - lukaku
        Probably going to do lukaku>jesus, pieters >Huth

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

          Not keen on Huth, his fixtures are the worst. Stones if fit?

      5. KJT123
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Alonso essential on a WC?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No

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

          He's essential on mine!

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

          No but still one of the first in my team

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

            (paying full full too)

      6. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Jaku on my bench.

        Got Arnie instead of King as a pre WC punt.

        Fails all round.

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

          DDG & Bailly still to go, might get 97 yet?

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            197 more likely.

            Had my time in the sun last gw.

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

          So tempted by Arnie. Glad I went King and benched JWP! 😛

        3. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Story of the season, that. Pretty much been the same for everyone. So many busts this year it's untrue.

      7. FANTASYFOOTBALLPRO
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        get rid of pedro or siggy

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

        Gabbi still a decent wildcard option??

        What is best front 3 to get.

        Kane costa Jesus destroys the rest of my team...thanks

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

          Decent option, but probably not in my team. Go Anichebe if no one else cheaper than Jesus turns you on

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

          Avoiding I think. Hull are woeful on the road and Saints hardly a shot with Gabby on the pitch.

      9. Baked baines
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gutted with Heats BPS

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, but I'll gladly accept 7 pts from his last appearance before I WC.

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

            He will probably keep a CS next GW too

        2. Lawrø

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yeah, so close!

      10. Spursfan9
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So that Afobe injury has messed up my transfer plans for next week. Was planning;

        Aguero - Afobe
        Zaha - Sanchez
        Stones/Gibson - Monreal

        Which striker should I bring in now? Will have £6.2m/£6.5m ITB depending on which defender I ship.

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

          Take out Gibson and get Gabbi? Could still do alright despite today's performance, likely just as well if not better than Afobe would have done at least.

      11. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Happy with that dire Gabbi performance... now he'll quietly sneak under the radar 😉

        1. Goal Digger2016
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Moral much needed Lawro.. I had Negredo lat week! 🙁

        2. Karan_G14
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I doubt it. He probably will be one of the most transferred in players because of the double double.

      12. Pigsinblankets
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Right then. Looking at pulling the trigger on this tonight because I can't afford any rises. I don't have a WC left, and this is for both 36 and 37, so I'll have 2FT to sort anything out for 38:

        Gibson, Zaha, Coutinho, Lukaku -> Holgate, Sanchez, Sane, Costa (-12)

        Team will be:
        DDG Pickford
        Holgate, Jagielka, PVA, Yoshi, Stephens
        Sanchez, Sane, Hazard, Alli, King
        Kane, Gabbi, Costa

        Yay or Neigh?

      13. Mario Balofail

          The premier league really screws with these teams

      14. Clasher4ever
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        RMT

        Caballero, heaton
        Alonso, gabriel, vert, yoshida, stephens,
        hazard, sanchez,eriksen, king, sane
        kane, rashford, ??

        A) cabelllero, heaton combo leaves me 8 which is not enough for jesus
        B) caballero, pickford gives me exact for jesus.

        what do you guys think??
        If A ,who should be my other striker.

      15. Donhush
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ideal front 3 on the WC is?

        We need a hot topic on this today to catch price rises tonight

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Depends on the rest of your squad and what you can afford.

          Two strikers going up in price. Not hard to get those in?

            I have Lukaku and haven't decided if I keep or ditch.

            I am thinking Kane Costa Jesus. Vardy and Lukaku also contenders

          Looks good

          Cahill I personally don't like cos Chelsea are leaky. My opinion tho.

          Maybe swap for an arsenal defender like Monreal?

            Thanks for your reply, what replacing Cabellero with Cech as 3rd Gunner and Cahill to Kompany as City defence? Sound better? Thanks.

          i have the same team except benaloune, have gabriel instead. looks good

          Benalouane might not play if Morgan comes back, so if you're okay with that the looks good. Maybe Jaku over Pickford? Could easily outscore even with a single GW

        Lot of wc drafts around here and there is no United players in them. No one under radar?

          Still burnt from Liverpool in the same situation last year. Not worth the hassle.
