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.

    Dgw or not Gabbiadini can f**k off

    *Welcomes the return of Diego Costa*

      Diegooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Brace yourself for a run of 6 pointers (including that DGW)

  2. Xerheart
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    GW 36

    GK: Jakupovic
    D: McAuley, Yoshida, Kone
    M: Walcott, Alli, Son, King, Sanchez
    F: Gabbi, Kane

    B: Heaton, Rashford, Pieters, Kelly

    I am thinking of using 3x Cap but can't decide who? Any comment will be much appreciated. Thank you.

  3. My Name Is Pepu

    37 points with Kane, Aguero, Jesus, Eriksen, Hazard & Cabellaro yet to play. Too bad? 🙁

      :up yours:

    Just sold Sanchez...

    1. FPLAdmiral
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ahead of a double DGW? Madness!

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Seriously, just before a dgw?

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I did too. He's not rising or falling, so did that to create funds to get other rises in. 😉

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        😛

  5. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Do I switch Gabbi tonight for Jesus losing 0.1 on Gabbi but catching Jesus price rise. Or do I just keep calm and include Gabiandini in WC draft?

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

      Jesus all the way ...

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Get both.

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kane and Costa occupying slots though..

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Currently saving a FT and starting Valencia (expecting a Mourinho special) and Huth in defence, torn on who to give the last defensive spot to, so will leave it to a vote:

    A. Holgate (Swansea generally toothless in recent times)
    B. Yoshida (set piece threat, dgw, team poor vs top 6 sides)
    C. Stephens (dgw, team poor vs top 6 sides)

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

      Yoshida out of that lot, infact play Stephens ahead of Antonio Trollencia.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Are u not expecting Mourinho to park the bus and hope for a goal on the break? Seems to be his approach vs the big teams and it's so far worked

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

          Arsenal will score 110%, I bet on Trump's peace claims with Mexicans.

  7. afs2239
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    PVA , Gibson , Firmino --> Alonso , Walker , King ?
    worth -8 ?

  8. Still Unsure
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any thoughts appreciated kind people.

    Pickford / Willy
    Alonso / Kompany / Yoshi / Holgate / Monreal
    Sanchez / Hazard / Alli / King / JWP
    Kane / Jesus / Gabbi

    0.2 ITB.

    Unsure on Gabbi, but replacements are sparse. Kompany is a risk but I can monitor and switch if necessary.

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looks solid. I took the risk on Kompany as well, think it will pay off.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Clichy looks like a safer bet, he played non stop before getting rested for the derby.

  9. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bet you Sanchez starts up front for the rest of the season. Recently giroud was then welbeck now walcott surely Sanchez is next..

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, probably Ramsey knowing Wenger and his stubbornness

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wenger says Sanchez likes playing on the wing. Would personally like to see this (3-4-3):

      Cech
      Gabriel Koscielny Mustafi
      Bellerin Elneny Xhaka Monreal
      Ox Sanchez Ozil

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Ah either way Sanchez looks a bit happier now and arsenal as a whole look happier so expect an up lift in form,bar tomorrow's woeful performance. After that 😀

  10. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    RMT

    Willy Cech
    Alonso Bailly Gabriel Yoshi Holgate
    Haz Sanch Erik Sane King
    Kane Jesus Gabbi

    Cheers

      Seeing other wc teams has made me reconsider manoo options, though bailly is the best outfield choice

  11. sillyhilly69
    • 10 Years

    25 from 4. Any good?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      No

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Average

    3. ezaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      It's above average.

    4. makaveli123

      25 from 5 🙂

    5. Sterling is £11Mill..…

      Not bad probably better than average well done

      Average

    7. My Name Is Pepu

      It's all about getting that 55+ from the rest of your lot tomorrow 🙂

  12. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Playing around with WC drafts. Cheap option would be benched but would play on BB 37. Would you rather have:

    A) Sane & Anichebe
    B) Jesus & Albrighton?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B, because I think Anichibe is an utter waste of space playing on a relegated team that never scores.

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Team A Or B??

    A
    Caballero Pickford
    ALONSO Vertonghen Gabriel YOSHIDA Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane FRASER
    Kane COSTA Anichebe

    B
    Caballero Pickford
    LUIZ Vertonghen Gabriel HOLGATE Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane PEDRO
    Kane JESUS Anichebe

    1. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      a

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I just think Anichibe is a waste of a place on your team, enabler or not.

      You have Haz, so downgrade Costa and get someone who plays for a team that actually scores goals most weeks.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        nothing wrong with having anichebe if you plan on never playing him, good enabler.

        1. Nomar
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'm assuming this is a WC team playing BB in 37.

          To be honest, he's just gash anyway. Not interested.

  14. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    WCers, get Kane - Jesus - Costa

    Get 1 over the gw gw 35 WCers.

    That is where it's at. 😎

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      And mids?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        Sexy

        😎

        1. Karan_G14
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King

          This is as sexy as it gets!

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            That's my mid

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus isn't nailed. Pep will be picking three of Kun, Jesus, Sane and Sterling each week

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Who would you rather have?

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Vardy good shout I reckon instead of Jesus or costa

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus maybe, not Costa

  15. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you bench this week?

    A) Daniels (STK)
    B) Huth (WAT)
    C) Yoshida (liv, ARS)

    Good chance ma of clean sheets for Bournemouth & Leicester with possible attacking returns.
    Can't see much upside in Yoshida though.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

  16. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How important is it to have all 3 of the Spurs frontmen for the remainder of the season?
    Kane, Alli, Eriksen

    If I had to drop one, who should it be?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not having all 3.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on results tomorrow IMO. Chelsea draw / lose and Spurs win would make things interesting.

    3. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It depends who you're sacrificing.
      Wouldn't keep all three at the expense of Hazard and Sanchez.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      quite important i'd say

  17. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku or Costa for WC?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      C

    2. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa for the juicy DGW37.

    3. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa

  18. Garth Marenghi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who gets more points rest of the season:
    A)Jesus
    B)Kane

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      easy, Kane.

    2. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane but not more enough for nearly 3.0£ difference.

  19. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez to Walcott/Özil to free up some funds?

    1. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not Walcott.
      Ozil maybe.

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No, Sanchez plays up front now

  20. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    1) or 2)? 🙂

    1)
    GW36: Towsend and Valencia -> Hazard and Monreal (-4)
    GW37: Siggy -> Sane

    2)
    GW36: Towsend, Monreal and Siggy -> Hazard, Monreal and Sane (-8)
    GW37: Baines -> Azpi/Kompany

    (no WC left, plan to Bench boost in GW37)

    (1FT, 5.8 itb)

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Valencia/Baines/Yoshida (Robertson, Chambers)
    Sanchez/Alli/Siggy/Tadic (Towsend)
    Kane/Benteke/Gabbi

  21. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mid table teams players for dgw = suicide

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agree.

    2. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You can't have a team full of Top 6 starters anyway.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Relegation candidates though? e.g Hull

        1. AdamB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Can hardly see them doing better in a single GW than Soton's assets in a DGW.

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't be surprised to see one the highest scoring players from those teams.

      Vardy is a great differential!

    4. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Saw this said earlier. Top sides rotation risk minus perhaps Spurs? bottom sides rubbish. We might as well not bother lol

    Is Gabriel a good transfer till end of season?

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

      Strongly considering it, looks like great value for money.

    Wildcard activated in prep for double gameweeks. 0.3m left. comments please on this first draft.

    Foster Pickford

    Alonso Davies Yoshida Stephens Holgate

    Sanchez Hazard Alli King Albrighton

    Kane Vardy Gabbiadini.

    Felt forced into 2 Southampton defenders and Holgate due to price. Ideally want Sane instead of Albrighton but can't find a way for it to be affordable.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why Foster?

      Davies not nailed with Rose returning.

      1. Troopon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No other cheap goalie I wanted with a double gameweek.

    Hi.

    Has anybody else had problems with the FPL website freezing on the transfers page? More specifically it hangs when I search for players, and sometimes when the 'select replacement' popup appears.

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

      Urm nope, could be a browser issue.

      1. Gargamel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yep it appears it was, cheers

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I doubt u have the same issue I had but I used a plugin called true key which did that problem to me to until I removed it. So check ur browser plugins

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        And disable or remove them

        1. Gargamel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Good idea - I'll have a look at my plugins. Thanks

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            No problem. It's annoying eh I didn't bother fixing it for months I put up with that bs lol

              It's going much better after I disabled the Better FPL extension. Thanks again.

    Does it say 0 GW transfers when wildcard is used?

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

      Yes sir

  29. grapesland
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Looking at average position map Gabbiadini basically played in midfield while Tadic played on top today. Only one touch in the box for Gabbiadini.. Strange one, but never really understood beachfootball anyways, so what do I know

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

      Gabbidiani hasn't been 10% of what he was during that 2-game stint ever since he's come back from injury.

      1. vectorman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes something is slightly amiss but his movement against Chelsea was still pretty impressive.. Possibly a fitness issue?

        1. grapesland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Probably.

          Risk is we are moving too fast on both him and Jesus fitnesswise..

  30. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    It's so hard getting rid of Heaton.

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

      Infact don't get rid, he has pretty decent fixtures.
