There’s plenty of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest as three more Gameweek 36 matches get underway at 14:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Crystal Palace begin their Gameweek 36 double-header, making just two alterations from Europe.

Brennan Johnson is preferred to Yeremy Pino, while Jorgen Strand Larsen gets the nod over Jean-Philippe Mateta up top.

At Turf Moor, interim boss Mike Jackson has made six changes for Burnley.

        Utterly terrible - I get why the ref missed it, as the contact looked accidental, but the fact that the VAR didn’t even deem it worth a second look is pretty inexcusable!

    Emery with the same nonsense as his arsenal days

    lucy 5th is getting ucl and and 6th is on usually low points this season.

    villa finishing 6th and losing europa final would still be hilarious

    1. wowo

      Rogers owners d like them sixth and lost final

  18. mixology

    Not going to count the lost points starting Rogers over Elliot Anderson most weeks

  19. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    So Palace attack (Sarr, Mateta - guess less so as was benched) was the way to go after all! FML...

    1. wowo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Last season DWg33 got double Attack and defenders haul, this year triple defs and the attackers haul. Never again on Palace

    The fact that two Nottingham Forest midfielders are in the top 5 scoring midfielders this season is slightly nauseating.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      1 hour, 52 mins ago

      Casemiro up there too, Garner 9th highest

      People that like DEFCONs are probably all having good seasons, so can’t see how bad it is for the game

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 hour, 36 mins ago

        Casemiro’s been banging them in tbf

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          1 hour, 33 mins ago

          Problem is he has 28 more points than he would normally have. Pricing wasn’t adjusted to include this

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 hour, 34 mins ago

        I’m having a bad season and still disagree. It’s good for DM’s or else they’re just irrelevant

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          1 hour, 32 mins ago

          So what about defcon points being awarded fairly/unfairly because FPL closed the game?

          Imagine they just handed out imaginary assists to players. Has brought DM’s into the game but then killed the likes of Grealish who you would buy for assists and made strikers worse picks. It hasn’t brought more players into the game overall

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            1 hour, 27 mins ago

            Goals and assists can change after review too up until an hour at the r the final game. They’re no handing out imaginary defcons either.

            How did Defcons impact Grealish as a pick?

            For me, defenders should not get defcons.

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 hour, 37 mins ago

      That is just mental

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 hour, 33 mins ago

      I mean, MGW has 13 goals and 4 assists

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 hour, 32 mins ago

      Don't blame defcons. Blame the lack of quality attackers in the league.

      Also 5 subs is a huge killer for most attacking mids and forwards.

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        1 hour, 26 mins ago

        The value of an assist has been lessened with defcons a factor. Id like an assist for a defender to be worth 4 points next season.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 hour, 19 mins ago

          Attacking mids are more likely to get assist or goals than defensive mids. We’ve had years of picking DM’s for the hope of 2 points off the bench if required. Now they are being rewarded for defensive actions to level the playing field a bit. I don’t see why that lessens the impact of attacking players getting returns.

          1. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            1 hour, 13 mins ago

            More so for defenders meant

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              1 hour, 10 mins ago

              Apologies, I misread that. I mean they get extra points for goals, why not.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 hour, 24 mins ago

        100% this. The table for midfield points is not skewed because of Defcons, there has just been no standout midfield picks consistently returning. I mean Casemiro has the same number of goals as Cunha, Mbuemo, Rogers, Wilson etc.

        The midfield picks have just been poor and no premiums this year, i.e. Salah, Palmer, Saka that are must haves (bar Bruno)

  21. The Philosopher

    Might've survived accidentally starting Darlow instead of Henderson.

  22. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Rogers differential. What a man. 3p from Spurs and Burnley. Saka meanwhile 11p in 45mins and counting.

  23. FC Hakkebøf

    Cant afford Gyokeres and ML Leader has double Arsenal defence. Should I punt on Mitoma to Trossard?
