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.

    That Jaku pen save has finished my ML; 16 points swing 🙁

        🙁
        Still 4 GWs are left, don't lose hope 🙂

          • 11 Years

          67 points seems too much to catch up now, but i'll keep going 😀

      The shadows in that corner of the pitch are brutal.

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

        Lucky Burnley will be attacking that way in the second half.

      How's Tekkers doing?

      1. matiakez
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty ineffective.

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

        Not getting enough space

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

        Burnley are just closing the game out now.

    4. Beautiful Game

      Did Gabbiadini get injured? or substituted?

      If sub was he that bad?

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

        So you can't get subbed if you're injured?

        1. Knowledgeable meerkat
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He Clearly meant tactical sub, no need for that

        2. Beautiful Game
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You are really funny! Hahaha!

      2. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't see any injury... Whether it's a fitness thing or purely tactical I'm not sure

    5. 824545201
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can King, Hazard or Kane outscore 2-game Sanchez in GW 36?
      I'm not sure if Alexis is the best captain pick.

      Very tempted to keep Vardy on my WC
      Thoughts ?!

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        For me it's Vardy v Lukaku v Gabbi for the third spot.

        Vardy is solid and gets a goal but doesn't tend to get big hauls like Lukaku. Gabbi has the doubles but doesn't usually play 90.

      2. BlueIncognito
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Keep. On form and has a double. Decent fixtures overall

    7. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Are people ditching Ward-Prowse from their WC squads after he didn't start today or is he a good cheap mid enabler?

      1. matiakez
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No stuck with him now unfortunately

      2. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm getting on WC, they were poor today, rested, maybe on penalties ? even if not, tadic doesnt play 90. 5.0 as well.

    8. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Any idea why JWP didn't play today? Rested or dropped?

    9. Fernando Torres
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is having both Rashford and Gabbi a bit dodgy?

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

      2. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yes

    10. Holmes

      Henn save 😎

    11. SH
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Best way to get Hazard in, in place of Siggy?

      Heaton Jaku
      Alonso Walker Valencia Brunt Holgate
      Sanchez Eriksen King Zaha Siggy***
      Kane Lukaku Gabbi
      . 8 ITB

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gabbi to Anichebe and drop Valencia

        1. SH
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          not brunt?

      2. Orange Roughy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Downgrade Lukaku to Jesus, then get the difference from a Valencia downgrade

    12. justmatt

      How many DGW players are people looking to have next week? Currently only have two myself.

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

        About 15

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

        14

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

          Oh that's the week after. But still, I'll aim for 14 now anyway.

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

          For 36?

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

            Aye. Your post confused me. I don't understand non fantasy terms like "next week".

            1. Jafooli

      4. trinzoo

        13 + King and Holgate.

    13. Jekori
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Despite Mark's review of previous DGW's i'm thinking going light in defense and heavy in attack. What do you think of this WC-team?
      Pickford - Caballero
      Alonso Gabriel Yoshida Stephens Holgate
      Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sané King
      Kane Costa Jesus. 0.0 ITB Who do you miss and who would you drop to get him?

      1. 824545201
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer Alli to Eriksen and Gabriel is a risk.

        1. Jekori
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          But that would mean downgrading defense even more, who else is playable for 4.3? And I've read Mustafi is out for another 2 weeks, which means at least DGW 36 Gabriel will play and hopefully at least 1 of DGW37

      2. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Alli needs to be in there

        1. Jekori
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I did have him instead of Sané but that would mean I'd have to go with Gabbiadini and after today i'm not to keen on that.

      3. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        how is that heavy in attack?

        1. sillyhilly69
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You're being serious?

          1. Jekori
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You sound like i'm missing something extremely obvious, help me out please?

        2. Jekori
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Well I couldn't afford Kün anymore 😉 and Lukaku only has SGW. Only one I can think of who'd I maybe want is Vardy

    14. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wow, Hull Swansea looks set to go to the electronic last day. If Swansea lose tomorrow and next weekend and Hull beat Sunderland, the gap is 6pts

      Gw 37 and 38
      Swa vs sun and WBA
      Hull vs pal and TOT

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years

        electronic? Lol *very

      2. liiusions

        Siggy back in my team GW38

    15. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Any feedback on my first WC draft?

      Willy - Pickford
      Blind - Gabriel - Yoshida - Holgate - Daniels
      Sanchez - Hazard - King - Albrighton - Ward-Prowse
      Kane - Costa - Lukaku

      0.3 ITB so I could upgrade Daniels to Bailly or another DGW def?

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        good!
        if you could get sane would be great.

      2. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm going for a very similar team, I think I will be more comfortable with kane, costa & Lukaku then take punts on the likes of Jesus or Gabbi

      3. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Like it a lot. If short on money you can consider Darmian (5.0) as well. Since he came into the team they kept clean sheets every time, and Mourinho hasn't got any confidence in Shaw anyway.

    16. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was Gabbi just trash today?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        no idea. Did many around here captain him?

    17. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King captain next week is probably a better option than most double gameweek players!

      6. Fernando Torres

          He died for our sins.
