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.

    Vardy Costa Kane looks ideal front 3 for WCs. Will need to sacrifice Hazard tho. decisions decisions

      I've got Costa & Kane but torn between vardy or lukaku

    There must be a fair few that brought in Caballero and benched Jaku this week. If I didn't take a hit to bring in DDG for Valdes last week, I'd have been one of them.

    Small chance of DDG being rested ahead of Celta Vigo - Arsenal - Celta Vigo - Spurs? (just maaaaybe?)

      I'm praying he switches Romero to league and DDG to Europa, but really can't see it.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Mourinho can't just play DDG in the final can he?? that would be cold!

          If enough of us believe it, it might come true. #RestForDDG

            😀 I won't be selfish enough to pray, but you just never know...

    All the WC teams I'm trying to copy on here seem to have huge team value!!

    Any of you with low TV (mine is 102.9 if I sell all my players) got some WC teams to show me? 🙂

    1. PL Ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tell me about it lol!! Mine is even lower than yours ha.

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      102.4 here, current draft

      Caballero Pickford
      Alonso Yosh Stephens Gabriel 5.3
      Sanchez hazard king sane Albrighton
      Kane Costa gabbi

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nice team. Go with Blind in defence.

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

      Just get Ozil instead of Sanchez. Along with King and Gabbi it should be doable?

  4. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My bench would have a decent gameweek rank.

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      Beautiful paintshop work 😀

  5. Ridders
    • 11 Years

    I'm want to wildcard gw36, but how should I best make sure I capture all the price rises? Thanks!

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

      With wildcards everywhere it will be SO hard to tell who rises or not

  6. Guvnor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha + Coutinho > Sanchez + 5m mid for -4?

    Would give:
    DDG Valdes
    Walker Gibson Yoshi Mee* Olsson*
    Alli King Sanchez Sane (5m MID)
    Barnes Kaku Kane

    Thoughts?

  7. PL Ball
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    WC (BB in 37)

    Caballero (Pickford)
    Gabriel - Stephens - Holgate - Yoshida - Evans
    Albrighton - Sane - Sanchez - Eriksen - Hazard
    Lukaku - Costa - Anichebe

    My team value is a pathetic 100.1, hence the very weak defence and forwards. The other problem are the price rises. This is 0.0 ITB!

    Kane a big miss. I suppose i can downgrade Lukaku for Jesus and upgrade defence/albrighton. Or downgrade Sanchez?
    Any thoughts at all are appreciated.

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

      Sane to Kane.

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

        ?

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

          Sane to King*, sorry. Then do something with that 1.5 mil.

          1. PL Ball
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Okay.. interesting.
            I guess my worry is going with no City attack whatsoever. :/

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

              Going to be a lot of rotation with Pep and Jesus now not injured.

              1. PL Ball
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Something to consider. Thanks for the thoughts 🙂

      2. PL Ball
        • 14 Years

        erm... Not sure I understand?

      i hear ya bud 🙁

  9. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone thinking of double up on Sanchez and Ozil? Could easily keep them for the double in 37 too.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only if they win tomorrow

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

      Would like Ozil but can't fit him in!

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

    Shane Long to start vs Liverpool for pace on the break?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah but he isnt very good

    2. Peter Russo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      not just that, austin is training and hes likely to feature. Gabbi is not safe!! bad move it was

    3. nonprophet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin win t play for a while. He said he is still a bit off. They wony risk him as he is already injury prone

  11. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Gabbi today?

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

      Same as last 8 gws

    2. Peter Russo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      soton are crap and gabbi is getting all the stick. Maybe because the manager keeps chopping and changing, the team has no chemistry hes got like 15 midfilders and keeps rotating. Gabbiadini is a team player and this idiot manager doesn;t know how to use him.

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

    For Dgw37 only?

    A. King and Huth (1 x dgw player)
    B. Albrigton and Alonso (2 x dgw players)

    Ddg Pickford
    Kompany Monreal Vertongen Stephens ?
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane ?
    Kane Gabbi Rashford

  13. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ah my hand is forced I can't get Sanchez only Ozil that sucks :/ but silver linings I can afford Vardy instead of Lukaku and a decent defender for pieters

  21. Guvnor

    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on the following WC? it is for BB in 37. 0.4 itb
    No Kane might be a problem, but i guess you cant have em all

    Caballero/Pickford
    Monreal Stephens Yoshida Azpi Holgate
    Sanchez Alli Sane Hazard King
    Vardy Costa Anichebe (enabler)

  23. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Gabbi pretty much dead as an option now?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

      No, I think people are overreacting.
      It's only one bad game.

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

      3rd striker had been pretty dead all season sadly..

    4. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years

  24. FPL Maldini

  25. Jay_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Going on holiday Monday and missing the whole of gw36. Won't make a transfer until as late as possible but just getting an early feel.

      ----------------DDG---------------------
      ---Alonso Valencia Yoshida------
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Zaha JWP
      ---------Kane Gabbiadini-----------
      ---------------------------------------------
      Caballero Rashford Holgate Mustafi (!)

      1 FT, 6.5m ITB. No wildcard available, will BB in 37

      A) Zaha > Hazard
      B) Rashford > Jesus
      C) One A/B and Valencia > 5.5 defender -4 (will leave funds for the other one of A/B in 37)
      D) All 3 of above for -8 and bench JWP

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

        A or B, Jay. Probably A as he's a strong captain choice next week.

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate

      2. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus, Costa, Gabbi all gonna rise. Decision time...

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

            It's simply not worth getting a player in before he's played this GW, at this stage of the season.

            1. MTPockets
                9 years, 1 month ago

                wc

            2. makaveli123
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              A player that has not started a match in many months is probably rising in price tonight. Love it 🙂

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

                Ah is Jesus rising? God sake I have exact money. Already got kun but considering Kun and Jesus depending on where Jesus plays tomorrow how long and if totally fit again. Really don't want to risk it :/

              2. MTPockets
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Yeah it's annoying but been like that this season.

              3. nonprophet
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                He won't rise til tomorrow at least. It's wildcard madness out there

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

              I reckon tomorrow is the day aguero finally gets his Hatti or brace

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

              On wildcard.. Should I do;

              Heaton, Firmino, Lukaku > DDG, Hazard, Kane tonight as I have only 0.1m leeway?

              I'm loathe to sell Firmino and Heaton has a good fixture next week but surely they will get outscored in two games by Haz/DDG? My last two GW1 players!

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

                Heaton is highly likely to get a clean sheet next GW

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

                  I agree. Was going to use next weeks FT for that move ready for DGW37. Think I'll risk it!

            5. Peter Russo
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Gabbi was a bad move een Austin is back training and will feature. The positive is that alot of people have got him in so don't feel down about it guys take a hit and get rid of him and bring in someone else.The biggest dissapointment for me is not having enough soton cover for the 2 dgw.

              1. Peter Russo
                • 10 Years
