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.

    Lucky few minutes for non Zaha owners like me by sounds of it

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Still plenty of time for him to get sent off...

    Dive or no dive that was horrible defending

    That ref decision is like a 12-14 points swing for people with Zaha and Mili.

    and it was wrong

  5. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Zaha owners screwed more than Mili. WTF

  6. JustPark

    Oh come on. Penalty was it?

  7. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

    Ref has been atrocious. Denies a pen just because the crowd are booing Zaha constantly, and gives him a yellow as well despite clearly being obstructed and not able to see the incident.

    1. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Yep it’s amazing to see the crowd influence him. Really poor.

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

      Exactly... Really influenced by the crowd.. and the players.. Doucoure in first half??

  8. FPL ZB

    Zaha is going to get sent off here

  9. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Bad red decision costs Zaha owners 4 points and Mili owners 5 points at least.

    Real prospect this Vorm goalkeeper for Spurs could be. Good to see Poch giving youth a chance

      +bps for having a stonewall penalty denied.

    I hate this game sometimes

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Sometimes when you don't score?

      1. BIGREDDOG

        You guessed it

    This is going rather badly

    1. Jafooli

      Bemba yellow

      You expectes different?

    3. Burger

      Did we expect anything less? 😆

    Ref needed to be much tougher in the first half - trying to reason with the players and explain himself all the time has badly backfired. He can’t win now whichever way he calls a play.

    1. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Should’ve given Doucouré and Zaha YCs in the first half then he would’ve been able to give that penalty.

      Yep. You just hit the nail square...

  15. TAT

    My God, that's as much a penalty as it gets!

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

        Had forgot about that one!

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years

      want them given then bring VAR in...but can't do that as it ruins "the flow of the game" apparently

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

        Ruins "the flow of the game" is a joke argument. Happily take stops in the game just to get decisions right.

    Wouldn't mind a watford goal now. Rivals have hennssey

    Don't get why people are surprised by the non-pen, Mark has no Palace mids.
