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.

    trying to save funds to get costa & vardy.

    ANyone else thinking of NOT having Kane for the run in?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane and Hazard are essentials. You can go without Costa imo!

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I cant think of a team without Kane

    3. Bullet Eder

      See how he plays tomorrow. I think it'd be a mistake though. Leicester have very little to play for and Vardy only scored today because Rondon played a shocking back-pass, it won't happen every week. Kane is chasing the title and the golden boot, I'd maybe advise against a knee-jerk on this occasion.

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

      Yes. Costa, Jesus, Anichebe in my current draft.

      1. 1justlookin

        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  2. WE GO FOR IT

    Holgate got in the starting XI when I got Cedric in for Stephens at the last minute. Changed my starting keeper from Jaku to Pickford as well. Not a good start. ML lead cut down to 15 points.
    Need Kane(c) and Lukaku to deliver big tomorrow and Kun, Hazard to blank(I have Hazard but rival has captained him)

  3. AA33
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My bench -

      Jakupovic, Barnes, Alonso, Holgate 🙁

      1. Totti
        • 9 Years

      4. Totti
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        worst mistake ever
        benched king and playing zaha
        what a bad luck as usual 🙁

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

          Sorry but thats not bad luck. King should of scored at least two.

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

            yea i watched but the goal was on the min 88 and I'm pickford owner and he was a bout to get a cs and bonus 🙁

        2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That was dumb

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

            thanks

        3. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          that's not bad luck
          it was obvious to play king ahead.of Zaha.
          2nd half left

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

            i was hesitated as zaha will play home and king away and the goal scored in the min 88 was going to 0/0 and I'm a pickford owner 🙁

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

        Any thought on my wc :

        Caballero
        Alonso monreal stephens
        Hazard sanchez alli king
        Costa lukaku kane
        (japu kingsley t.carroll d.love)

        0.1itb, no chip left

        Will assess between
        Monreal + King or Gabriel/Davies + Sane

        Need something to change?

      10. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Which one for WC team?

        A) Vardy + Sane
        B) Jesus + Alli

        1. Sergeant Garcia
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          B

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

        What's the current feeling for GW36 WCers, 3-5-2?

        Thinking

        ____ (Pickford)
        Alonso ____ ____ (Stephens Holgate)
        Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
        Kane Costa/Jesus (Anichebe/Barnes)

        and fill the rest as best possible. Probably just ignore DGW36ers with exception of Sanchez(c). May even go double Chelsea at the back...powerful differential if they start closing out a few 1-0ers like Leicester last year.

      12. Rainer

          Yohan Benalouane is 4.0. Is he guaranteed minutes now until the end of the season?

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

            Not when Morgan and Huth are both fit.

            Indeed. Looking forward to them leaving my team this week.

          BAH Zaha OUT

          This game is done isn't it?

        • Spursfan9
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers Zaha. Bookings & woeful performance 2 weeks running. Know who I'm shipping for next week!

        • Weeb Kakashi

          9 years, 1 month ago

          Pedro anyone on Wc?
          Double up with Hazard??

          1. Sim Simma
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No

        • BlueIncognito
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Anyone else choose Costa over Hazard? Hazard will run the game yet still not manage any points while Costa will be a donkey for most of a match and willl still somehow score and assist

          Heaton, Alonso and King - bane of my FPL season.

        • Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Heaton might as well take a nap here.

        • Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Zaha red incoming

        • Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Heaton 2 saves

        • HashAttack

          Just done my final transfers (-12) ... no BB but TC left ... this is what 112.5M buys 🙂

          Cech / Heaton
          Monreal / Kompany / Yoshi / Bailly / Ake
          Eriksen / Alli / Sanchez / Haz / King
          Costa / Kane / Jesus

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years

            Nice

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

            How to play them all, they are all good

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

              Swapping Kun for Jesus made a big difference ... I was expecting T Carrol to be the 5th mid
              Didn't have a wildcard so I had to balance my hits

              Heaton / King / Ake / Yoshi will tend to be the subs ... pretty happy to have good 1st subs

            It's nice.. but ur massive tv has also cost u 100s of points in hits!

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

              It's a balancing act ... this year I've done too many (>100) ... but I believe it has a net benefit
              My Immediate Points Gained is slightly over my hits taken ... and I tend to buy for less immediate gains anyway, so break even if okay by me
