After yet another goal from Mohamed Salah in Liverpool’s draw at The Hawthorns, Saturday comes to an early conclusion as Watford entertain Crystal Palace at 3pm.

The Eagles’ duo Wilfried Zaha and Luka Milivojevic were among the top seven most bought players for a reduced Gameweek 35 that saw over 154,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Free Hit chips played.

More than 183,000 managers acquired Zaha, who has served up three goals and two assists in the last five Gameweeks, with 21 points in his previous two outings.

Meanwhile, dead-ball specialist Milivojevic has 38 points over the last four, supplementing three goals and a pair of assists with nine bonus in that run.

They now collide with a Hornets defence that’s conceded 30 goals in front of their own fans – no side have allowed more.

The hosts have failed to catch the eye in recent weeks, with Javi Gracia turning to a 4-4-2 today in an attempt to solve a run of three goals in the last five Gameweeks.

Roberto Pereyra’s form has been the one crumb of comfort – the former Juventus man has netted two of those strikes and is looking to score for the third successive match at Vicarage Road today.

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

    Zaha will bag today

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Ball bag?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Can I get away with tea bag?

      2. HavertzHero
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Yes

      Positive attitude

      As long as either Mili or McArthur assist that's fine

    Kane and Eriksen nailed in my WC.

    Who should the third Spurs player be:

    A) Vertonghen
    B) Son
    C) Alli
    D) Lloris

    On A currently but keeping Son is tempting.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      A

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      b

    3. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      A

    4. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Depends on the rest of you team I think, but I like vertonghen as I expect spurs to get CSs with their run-in.

  3. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Has PVA looked like getting any attacking points so far?

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Petulant and poor

      1. Point-one short

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      No. And that goes for the entire cpa team

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      A good captain haul can easily wipe out any free hit advantage, especially if the extra players get 1 or 2 points for free hitters! (hello, Milner and Mane!)

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Same here, Robbo (Naughton my only sub heh) and Salah, but Gundo, Jesus and Sterling (C)...all for a -8 too!

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      HOw do you not have Salah??????

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Oh wait heh, I automatically read that as 7 from 1.

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        no FH, went without and not too damaging

        1. Costa Nostra
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Can’t see how not having the best player in fantasy isn’t hurting you, but to each their own.

      2. Tiki-Taka
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        hope it was just a rest, don't think it'll be made clear by puel though honestly so just gotta wait and see

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Kept Hennessy on FH. Benched him. Could he on for a haul

    6. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      So back to my normal team after FH this week. Do I try and get Salah in or wait for GW38?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        wait imo

      2. Tiki-Taka
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        can't say without context on your team, waiting til 38 myself because of DGW37

    7. FPL ZB

      Ref did well there!

    9. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Zaha could be off

    10. JohnnyMagrinho
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Ah man. Knew I should’ve brought in Livermore and Rondon! Craziness I ignored them! I thought about doing it as well, for a second, in a dream I had when I was 7.

        Should always follow your dreams 🙁

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Lucky for Zaha that could have went either way.

          1. BERGKOP
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            *gone

        3. BIGREDDOG
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Lots of petulance and poor sportsmanship in this one...

        4. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          So Zaha goes studs into the stomach of the Watford keeper, gets no ball at all, from Cahill's first red this season to Alonso's post match ban, surely Zaha should be punished...

          1. ChelseaGuy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

          2. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Give over. Nothing in it

            1. Postman Ty
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 13 days ago

              I think the ref did fine, should have been a yellow in my opinion, but where's the consistency?

          3. Zilla
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            ref saw it

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          What happened with Zaha?

          1. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Went in studs up on the keeper lucky to be still on the pitch really even though i reckon he had a right to go for the ball i have seen players getting reds for similar challenges.

            1. Collie01

            Yea

          3. Sailboats
            • 10 Years

            yes

          4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Yes

          5. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Yes, the V is just closer to how it's pronounced in Greek. The ch is just a spelling convention for a Greek 'h' sound.

        7. Dead Lift
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Ref is awful. Lost a game without any intense. Unable.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Yea, its unbelievable how poor hes been at handling the game.

        8. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Forgot about this richarlison dude

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Haven't we all.

        9. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Do we think Salah can be this consistent next season?
          Maybe not as prolific maybe but consistent.
          Nothing about the way he plays makes me think he is a one season wonder big curious what you lot think?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Don't think he will outscore this season.

          2. BIGREDDOG
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            He suits their style so well.. I think he will be able to justify his price tag next season

          3. Zilla
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            As you said. Not the same level of consistency of this season but still somehow consistent.

          4. FFSbet.com
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Think defenders will analyze him more and let him go on his weak foot but could get 25+ if no injuries plus if he is on penalties.

          5. JustPark
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 13 days ago

            Assuming he's still at Pool, yeah.
