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.

    Walcott + Sanchez?

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

      Not for me.

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

      Nooooooooooooo

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

    Barnes, Anichebe or Crouch for a cheap 3rd striker?

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

      Anichubby

  3. Wayne Enterprises
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    WC Team? Be interested in your thoughts

    Heaton Caballero

    Davies Bailly Ake Azpi Stephens

    Coutinho King Hazard Alli Sane

    Jesus Kane Anichebe

    £0 ITB

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ake won't play
      Anichebe is a passenger

      Otherwise looks good

      1. Wayne Enterprises
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Problem is my TV is shocking so to had to have two shocking players - so they're both passengers really!!

    2. Legomane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Davies is risky

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

      Davies and Azpi to Gabriel and Luiz. Would probably ditch coutinho

  4. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any pool players worth considering on the WC?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like the look of Firmino, no-one else really appeals to me

    2. Still Unsure
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me

    3. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm making passive provision to transfer on Cout or Firm in 38

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not thinking about 'pool until gw38. Middlesborough will be lambs for the slaughter and will have nothing left to give. Would touch the, until then but will consider Cout and Firm double up.

  5. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Sanchez the obvious captain for next week with his DGW, or should I go with Hazard?

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

      Probably...surely he scores and baps in at least one of those. SOU are pretty poor ATM.

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Scored two goals last time United came to the Emirates

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Many many palyers will tc him so not captaining him may mean big red arrows.

  6. Legomane
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton
    Alonso *** Gabriel
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
    Kane Jesus

    (*** *** Stephens Holgate)

    A Luiz Pickford Anichebe
    B Bailly Caballero Barnes

    Thoughts much appreciated. 0.0 ITB for both.

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

      Are you cool going with Gabriel?

      Won't he lose his place soon.?

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

        Hmmm, will he?!

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

          Won't mustafi take it?

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

      B

  7. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    90 mins before MOTD, hope I don't nod off on the sofa before today's goal glut.

  8. Toast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Should I play my WC tonight as FFix has a lot of potential price rises? BB in 37. Thanks

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

      Yes

    2. Legomane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely- WC active here

  9. Team Cruel

    9 years, 3 months ago

    "Practically confirmed Juan Mata is back in the #mufc squad. He's arrived at The Lowry with rest of the players."

    7.2m. Hmm...

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

      Still going to be rotated like a pig on a spit roast even if he is fit.

  10. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Both my rivals have double United defence..

    Any chance United don't keep clean sheet tomo?

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

      Yes

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

      Every chance with DDG rested.

      (wishful thinking from Jaku bencher ;))

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

        Ha, I'm hoping for this too 😎

  11. fplking14
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    WC team:
    Caballero Pickford
    Cedric Lowton Huth Holgate Robertson
    Sanchez Sane Hazard King Redmond
    Aguero Gabbiadini Llorente/Afobe

    How is this team?
    worried about the lack of any spurs players

    1. ezaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero > Kane, shift some of the funds. Aguero is too risky.

  12. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can Josh King continue his unreal goal scoring feats of late to next season

    Or is he a fluke like Jamie Vardy ?

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He wasn't bad at times last season either. Alas he'll be an 8.0 forward next year

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

        7.5 a la Defoe

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          True

    2. Still Unsure
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Fixtures are great. Form is excellent.
      Gotta have him.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        yh at the moment he is fpl gold. meant next season

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

      Depends if they sign a decent striker his impact will be lessened

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        good point

        he has forged an excellent partnership with afoabe. calum wilson is too selfish and diminishes king appeal

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Brought him in for first time and captained him. He's going no where for rest of the season.

    5. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Fraser could be a gem next season

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

      bit of a fluke imo

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

      One season wonder, happens all the time.

  13. Unsuccessful
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I know they stretch the thresholds for WCs and DGWs to try to avoid this, but I could really do with making a few 0.1s on the transfer market this week

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

      Same

  14. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Özil + Sanchez?

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      One of I think. I'll still want Alli and Haz

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        One of the Arsenal boys > Hazard for 37

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I see your point. Haz vs MID I definitely want this week. Alli vs whm maybe not so much. However I personally have too much profit to lose.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    je suis jafooli

    he's doing the motd challenge

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

      I thought he was joking. He'll be crying watching Gabbi.

    2. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ha

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

      He was here moaning about Palace?

  16. BT
    • 9 Years

    RMWCT

    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Blind Yoshi Stephens Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Sane King Albrighton
    Kane Costa Jesus

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

    A nailed on City defender expected to play both the matches in DGW 37?

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

      Bad K

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

      Hopefully Willy if Bravo is crocked.

      1. Unsuccessful
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yup

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kompany. But a biiiig risk

  18. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How much more nailed on is Monreal, compared to Gabriel? Is he worth the extra?

    My options are:
    A) Pickford + Monreal
    B) Cech + Gabriel

    1. ezaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Might be less nailed on if Gibbs rotates with him.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Monreal is 100% nailed if Arsenal play 3 at the back - plays either on the wing, or at the back 3 with Gibbs on the wing. With 4 at the back he's still nailed, though Gibbs will come in for the odd game (I think it's only happened twice this season that Gibbs has played instead of Monreal at left back).

  19. Mulla
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kept just enough itb (£1.2m) to do Benteke (£7.4m) >>> Jesus (£8.6m) next Gwk.
    FPL stats has Jesus rising tonight but there not the most reliable, should I pull the trigger tonight?
    Was hoping to see how he got on tomorrow, as not a fan of early transfers..

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

      He might get injured.

      1. Mulla
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah that's the worry alright, played my WC yesterday so didn't want to be taking a hit next week ye know, have a 70pt ML lead to chase down, rival has no chips left I have BB and TC left now, decisions decisions...

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

    That Tadic penalty miss. smh

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The assist would have been massive.

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Who would have had the assist?

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

          Think Yoshida, but it wasn't conclusive when asked earlier.

  21. Z
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sane > Sanchez

    or

    JWP > Ozil

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wait a day?

  22. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    This would probably be my team if I don't make any transfers (No WC, 6.0 ITB, 1FT):
    Willy
    Stephen, Yoshida, Alonso, Vertonghen, Baines
    Eriksen, Sane, Sanchez
    Gabbiadini, Kane
    BENCH: Jaku; Benteke, Zaha, TCarroll

    I have lots of good fixtures in defence. I have 6m ITB with a view to getting Hazard and Jesus in for Zaha and Benteke. So, this week, for -4:

    A) Zaha, Benteke > Hazard, Jesus (-4: Bench Vert and Baines)
    B) Baines, Zaha > Gabriel, Hazard (-4: Bench Vert and Benteke)
    C) Zaha > Hazard (FT: Bench Vertonghen)

    I like B because the Arsenal defender gives me more fixtures and I want one next week, but having Benteke (or maybe Sane) on the bench is a risk... I could bench one of the SOT defensive pair I suppose. I will use my next FT to replace whichever of Baines, Benteke or Zaha that I have left.

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't be too worried Bout benched Benteke really. Needs must. I also like B of those for this week.

  23. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who would have got the assist for the Southampton penalty

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

      Yoshi

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm glad he missed it

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshida

    3. karvs155
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshi

    4. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yosh

    5. ezaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshida

    6. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshi

    7. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshi and would have got the baps too, much to my annoyance. Jak sat on my bench to rub it in even further.

    8. rdamjan

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

      The swing from Yoshida to Jakupovic was not good.

  24. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wildcarding was sooo last week

  25. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    DGW GKs - that is what it is about.

  26. Hakuho FPL

    41.... boom I will take that.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Nice

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

      Very nice considering the captain fail.

      1. Hakuho FPL
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        🙁 failed big time

  27. Z
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A. Sane + Ozil
    B. JWP* + Sanchez

    *Good chance JWP will sit on the bench in GW36

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty good chance Sane will be rested at some point.

  28. KLOPPS GLASSES
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A) Gabriel and Ozil
    B) Monreal and Sane
