Gameweek 32 gets up and running at Selhurst Park this Saturday lunchtime as Crystal Palace entertain Liverpool at 12.30pm.

Having served up a 29-point tally in his previous league outing, Mohamed Salah is again among the key captaincy contenders for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Up against an Eagles’ defence with two clean sheets in front of their own supporters, the Reds’ winger goes in search of a fifteenth double-figure haul of 2017/18.

Elsewhere, the likes of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both have the form to punish those who parted company on Wildcards.

Over the last five, Firmino has three goals and a pair of assists, while Mane has struck twice and supplied a trio of assists.

Christian Benteke has been the hosts’ form player of late, delivering a goal or assist in seven of his last ten league outings. He’s joined up top by the fit-again Wilfried Zaha, who has recovered from a knee complaint to start against the Merseysiders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    How do Salah cappers and non cappers feel?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Non capper here

      An early lukaku goal would settle the nerves

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      16 better than 4 by far

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      None capper here. I fully expected him to score, but it hurts that it was so late.

      I would have been happy enough for him to get just the 1 goal beforehand though.

      1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        None capper? Nice.

    4. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Non capper: Feel fine. Think Auba can definitely score tomorrow. I predicted Salah would get 7/8 points anyway.

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      7 is enough.

      Firmino blank is the big thing.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        With Robbo assist 😉

    6. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Capper. Relieved

    7. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not as good as last week, still decent captain return compared to most.

    8. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Feel 'Meh'. Me and all my ML rivals captained him and we're all on virtually identical points at the moment.

    9. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Fine with the 7/8, thinking Auba is able to outscore him

    10. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Non capper. Not too bothered by 14 points I think Auba will beat it

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

      Auba(c). Happy not to get properly punished by Salah. Auba has the potential to score a hat-trick tomorrow at home vs Stoke

    12. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ecstatic. Should match or be slightly behind other captns. Main thing is he got 8 pts. Move on

  2. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mark still own salah? if yes two baps for our Egyptian

  3. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What do you prefer salah's 16 points or Aubameyang captain??

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Points. Always.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        What if it were 8 points?

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      birds on the tree

    3. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Points in the bag.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      14*

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not what FPL discovery is saying??

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Have a feeling Auba is going to smash it tomorrow, like 2 goals 2 assists

    6. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Auba

  4. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    All the regulars on here will be able to tell me: Is Salah having a better FPL season than Suarez and RVP's best seasons?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Suarez 295

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just yes

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Suarez was on 269 by gw32. Salah on 273/4.

  5. Sweetpea
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Greetings all.

    I Have all chips left, dO i need to WC this week?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. Sweetpea
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Could i wait a week and still be bale to use the other chips effectively?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Depends on your team. Can't just say yes or no.

    3. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hmm

  6. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Richarlison better stay on that bench.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      This.

      Mili 9 pter taunting me from the bench - Richarlison starting for me.

  7. Gonna mesut up
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Took out Robertson in the last hour or so before deadline but 8 points isnt anything to really get too stressed about, a decent return but wildcards are about planning for the rest of the season or at least a few gws, especially with dgws. Good call by people that have him though.

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Salah well on track for the 300 points now. Just 26 more needed. He should get another 12 from appearance points straight away.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      amazing season.....should beat suarez

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He'll zoom past Suarez in a few weeks.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Carol Vorderman, is that you?

    3. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      can do it in one game

  9. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Really didn't see that Bailly no show.

    Blow for WCers who got him in instead of Vert etc.

    United defense is a no go bar DDG.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Valencia

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        DGW game before the FA cup semi is the only worry.

        I think other than that he plays all other league games.

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Thats the thing. Maybe go azpi though at same price
          Not sure. Have enough itb for 7 mil defender

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Valencia is also nailed on, slightly overpriced

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        See ^

    3. Chazz69
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Smalling all the way

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Could be his turn next.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Valencia? Yes expensive but nailed with attacking threat

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He sure is the best bet but that one game though...

    5. Js31
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah shocked me that one. Still not convinced Smalling is nailed either so may switch to Vert or save money on Robertson on Arsenal def

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If football matches were 80 mins long. Palace would be in Europe next season....

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If is a big word!

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

  11. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    2 bonus for Salah yeah?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years

    3. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hoping he can cling onto 1

    4. Chazz69
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      probably only 1

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      2-2

    6. Bubz
      • 12 Years

      No?

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        3 bps for winning goal puts him on 33 with mili?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          He has lots of deductions to come apparently

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            6 dispossessions

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Yes. Before deductions.

        3. AnfieldLad
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Nvm

    7. klavan

    8. Gizzachance

      no

  12. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years

    How are all the WC going.

    1. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good. 16 from 1

      1. klavan

        *14

      2. Fuchs Mane Kante
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nice touch.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Averaging 7 points per player so decent.

      1. Fuchs Mane Kante
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nice touch.

    3. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman

        1. Fuchs Mane Kante
          • 9 Years

          Nice touch.

  13. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    At this point I'd still stick with Auba(c)... just

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      of course you'd stick !

      1. SantiClaus
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Salah's 8 in the bank is nothing to be sniffed at...

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          at this point in the season I wouldn't take 7 points for my captain. Might as well go for it

    Any reports on Gudmundsson absence as Dyche thought would be OK?

  16. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Salah out of bonus 🙂

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Robertson - 3
      Milli - 2
      Milli - 1

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Milnyy you meant

  17. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Will Salah seriously get no bonus?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      either that or someone at FPL towers lacks a decent sense of humour

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      'Seriously'? he was poor today. But world class players step up even when playing poor.

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why would he? Dispossessed 6 times. Horrible

  18. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Keep Bailly for DGW34 now?

  19. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Salah 0 bonus.

    Why?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Disposessions

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        7 disposessions? A bit frustrating that.

  20. The Mandalorian

    What time is the medal ceremony for all the ‘I said’ comments.

  21. Junior ⚽

      Why's it a joke?

    2. Lallana_

      doesn't deserve it

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Hows it a joke?

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      😆

    5. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why do creative or attack minded players get punished for a having a volley go wide by inches? Can't see how Milner had a better game than him.

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Because their job is to assist/score?

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        You clearly know the rules. You don't have to own or captain Salah

    6. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      Have a look at dispossessions there son

  22. Unfathomable Ruination

    Mendy posted a video 48 minutes ago (on Instagram) of him, Aguero, and Otamendi getting treatment in what looks like City facilities.

    Otamendi owners concerned?

    Bailly won't come on? Wilson first sub

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He's on the bench so he can come on.

  26. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Me seeing that Bailly isn't starting

    http://gph.is/2lnp32Z

    We overanalyzed it lads!

  27. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    ....and another thing about Palace....You really have to take your hat off to those fans, always up for it and always positive.

    Do they really come from the same city as Arsenal fans?....like chalk and cheese...

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      They enjoy the moment for sure

      even clapped Lallana off

      classy fans compared to the other london teams

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

      No, they come from Croydon 😛

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Well wherever they come from in my minds eye they look exactly like a football crowd should look...and exactly like the kind of crowd players would want to play in front of.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Don't mind me, it was just a not-too-subtle dig at my previous area of residence! And yes, agree on Palace fans. West Ham could learn a thing or two as well.

    3. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      The moment Saints are safe (we're going down) i'm all for Palace staying up as great support and club. Sadly I can't see both of us surviving at the moment.

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        West Ham are starting Hart, never fear

  28. Davido989

    Mark. Have a word. We don't pay 15 quid for our captains not to get bonus points.

    Can someone confirm that Mou said Bailly will get minutes? Saw someone write it here. Really annoying

      Google it yourself lazy sod
