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.

    So much mediocrity,
    relegation not looking like much of a battle,
    great fixtures for the top 6,

    Can't see much point to owning any non CL battlers beyond King Siggy Jakupovic or Yoshida/Stephens.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed

  2. Guvnor
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best 5th Mid under 5m?
    A) Fraser
    B) Ward Prowse
    C) Albrighton
    D) Other?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      Capoo

    2. Budweiser

    4. madcat147

      8 years, 10 months ago

      Matic if you have Chelsea room. He used to get lots of assists earlier in the season and had that cracker FA Cup goal recently. Oriol Romeu another with double GW coming up. Not saying they're good, but they are sub 5m

    5. Guvnor
      • 9 Years

      Thanks all

    6. BananaNose Maldonado

    Caballero heaton
    Monreal alonso blind stephens holebas
    Sanchez hazard alli capoue 5.9M
    Kane gabbiadini jesus

    Can also downgrade heaton to pickford to make 6.5M available for 5th mid? Who should i buy?

    1. Budweiser
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If you have BB I'd lose Capoue personally and Jesus is a big gamble

      1. Dont give a fuchs
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yes BB is available so need to WC this week. Who for capoue?

        1. Budweiser
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Heaton to Pickford
          Blind to Holgate
          Capoue to JWP/Albrighton and then get Sane?

          1. Dont give a fuchs
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            How about this

            Caballero pickford
            Holebas monreal alonso holgate stephens
            Hazard alli sanchez sane 6.5
            Kane gabbiadini rashford?

  7. drughi

    Who you got joshua or klitchko ?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      kltichsko on points

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If it goes to points Vlad will win it, so Josh needs to finish it before then.

    3. gforce23
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If Joshua doesn't score goals, Klitscho might win based on BPS.

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Jesus starting tomorrow will see the biggest bandwagon since Negredo take off!

    1. Chris_White

      Some are already on it 😎 Choo choo

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Mixed metaphors.
        Is it a wagon, a plane or a train??

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Planes, Trains and Automobiles 😀

          1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Are you saying I could be stuck in Wichita??

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus is quality though. He will hit the ground running yet again.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford bandwagon was pretty big too tbf. As was Carroll last season. What about the Gabbi(c) wagon today?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        😆

    4. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He does look bit of a player don't he, his minutes will surely be managed though?. Would be if he was 100% fit too, that damn pep is terrible for us FPL players. 😀

  9. AA33

      1 YC in 45 mins = 2 YCs in 90 mins 🙂 😎 😛

      Thoughts on this WC team?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        what is a 'Redmond'? Never seen one of those

      2. AA33
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Don't like Redmond

        • Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years

          double soton.attack.is too much

      3. UnitedFan

        Hands up Barnes owners o/ 😎

      4. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Surprised to not see more Gabbindini's in WC teams, considering he's got a double DGW ahead....

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Aston Martin better than 2 Skoda 😉

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            😆 this....

            1. Still Unsure
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Who you promoting, dude?

          2. madcat147
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Holmes is right. I grabbed him and already regret it, especially since the guy I'm chasing did the same. I have a feeling he won't get anything over the 4 games in 2 GWs except some participation medals.

        2. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Jesus going up in price tonight?

          Lol at anyone who got in Willy and Gabbi for hits and benched Jaku 😳

            Guilty...

          2. Magic Bean
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            What's wrong with Willy?

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Nothing but I benched Jaku and took a hit to get him

              1. Magic Bean
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Ah right

        4. tm245
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Oooh, a Heaton red card and Zaha assist would have been nice.

        5. Sergeant Garcia
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          My perseverance of not getting King has cost me deerly.

          1. Firminooooo
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Me to and I am even norwegian. I will get him in on WC now, so dont worry. He will not score anymore.

        6. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Damn it, bloody Gabbiadini gets injured and goes off just as I got him for the DGW!

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Injured ? 😮

          2. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Was he actually injured?

          3. AA33
              8 years, 10 months ago

              He wasn't injured

            • Numb
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Was he injured?

            • CloudSky
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Wasnt injured, just poor.

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Oh bloody hell that's even worse!

                1. CloudSky
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Probably yeah. Hard to say what to.do with him. He still has double dgws...

            • Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Sorry I just assumed he got injured hence going off so early?

              1. CloudSky
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Wrong.

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  As in so bad probably not worth keeping for the DGW?

                  1. CloudSky
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Wasnt just him. The whole team was basically on a beach, so hard to say.

              2. Les Bleus
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                That's a silly assumption

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  I know! Because it was 0-0 I'd have thought they would have thrown on 2 strikers with choice enabling.

              3. Sterling is £11Mill..…
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Who replaced him? Long?

                1. Magic Bean
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Yes

                2. CloudSky
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Yes

                3. Jekori
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Yes. And with Austin coming back as well he might not get more than 90 minutes in the DGW. Lot of Boo from the Soton fans tho as they weren't ahead or anything and how can you resist such a hit-the-ground-running player with long wavy hair

          4. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Tekker's better come out for the 2nd half....

              Didn't realise his brother looked so much like him...

                • 14 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Probably still red flagged...

              Look at the fixtures over the next three weeks -- most could get close to 300 points with any chips left.

              1. Fred54

                  Yep, I have king but unfortunately no Southampton defenders

            8. Firminooooo
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Maybe its time to get King in, just to stop him scoring. He is killing me.

              1. CloudSky
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Just did it. Thank god, he can stop now.

                • 11 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Could double up on MCI defence (Willy & Kompany) be a good plan? Lovely green fixtures.

                1. Sergeant Garcia
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Fail 😛 Same here mate, got him in now on my WC. He's been a pain in the xxxx

              How does anyone choose less than 8 attackers from Arsenal City Chelsea Spurs for GW36?

              1. diesel001
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Agree.

              2. CloudSky
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Arsenal are poor. City are rotation "city". Who would be the 3rd Chelsea attacker. Spurs have only one home fixtures left (against ManU). Everything got two sides.

                Because of the likelihood of rotation.

                King says hi. Also, you might want some Chelsea/Spurs/City defenders as well

                It's probably worth the risk.

                With 0.0 ITB i'd take the risk. Only if spurs lose from arsenal and Chelsea win at Everton the Bat might get a start in one of DGW37/38 (Chelsea have the FA cup-final one week later)

              Could double up on MCI defence (Willy & Kompany) be a good plan? Lovely green fixtures.

                Willy and Kompany sounds like a good Saturday night if you ask me 😉

                If you have the money. When Kompany actually is on the pitch he runs away with the baps a lot.

              Why did my captain only play 58 minutes, is he injured?

              1. CloudSky
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                No.

              Captain Jesus can't do worse than Gabbi captainers... Correct?

                • 16 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                He could get a red card

                1. barracuda
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                    He got a yellow card after 3 mins the other day

                • 9 Years

                Not correct.

              Siggy > King FT looking good so far...was close to (and slightly regretted at the time not going for) Kak Siggy > Gabbi Haz (-4)...Haz blank tomorrow would be a big plus for me in ML...main rival also benched Jaku phew!

                Nice one! I did Siggy to King (c) and worked beautifully so can relate 😀

              Tempted to bench Gabbi and play the King next GW now

                ive saved AOA for this

                It looks like a good plan.

            17. Sergeant Garcia
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Vardy or Costa for the remainder?
              Will have Haz too.

                Vardy

              2. NATSTER
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                mci + TOT look very difficult for Vardy

                1. Sergeant Garcia
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  True, but Watford & Bournemouth at home 😮

                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Didn't it look difficult in the first encounters too tho? Vardy got 3 goals and 1 assist in those 2 fixtures, Leicester themselves 4 points.

                Look at Costa's remaining fixtures...
