The penultimate match of Gameweek sees in-form Palace welcome defending champions City to Selhurst Park in tonight’s 8pm kick-off. Having won three of their last four league matches, Alan Pardew’s side will fancy their chances of breaching a backline that’s managed a single shout-out in their previous eight road trips.

For the Eagles, Glenn Murray carries the main threat after bagging four goals and an assist in his last four league matches. Alan Pardew’s attacking midfield three are all likely to pose the champions problems, too – Wilfried Zaha is looking to score for the third successive Gameweek, whilst Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie have both provided three assists in the last four.

Sergio Aguero’s domestic form has persuaded over 114,000 FPL managers to part company last week. The Argentine has a single assist in his last four but, having scored for his country in a 2-1 win over Ecuador in the international break, he’ll he optimistic of a return to form. David Silva, meanwhile, will be looking to continue the sort of displays that have harvested four goals and an assist in the last five as Manuel Pellegrini’s side attempt to close the gap at the summit to four points behind Chelsea. City welcome back Yaya Toure in one of five changes from the side that won against West Brom last time out, with Edin Dzeko handed the chance to impress alongside Aguero up top.

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

    I'll personally be avoiding Murray.

    City's defence is so bad, I think it's a bit of a red herring even though he has been playing well.

    Sunderland looked tight against Newcastle and I can't see West Brom's defence playing like they did against QPR again.

    Against Hull, perhaps. But then Chelsea the week after 😕

      Check Murray's previous form. He's good and was excellent before his injury.

      1. whitters_2014
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        And excellent in the champ

    After the Moyes debacle last season and then enduring the filosophee this season, the United fans have finally found something to cheer on tonight.

  5. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    To be fair, if you lose to palace because of reffing decisions, you're still clutching at straws.

    Murray looked like a keeper making a save. Soooooo lucky....

  7. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    That evened up the Rooney pen denial from Saturday.

    Cheers, Oliver.

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Dont forget the 3 Aguero was denied in the Mu game last year

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Zzzzz

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

    When Palace win tonight Alan Pardew will join Barcelona by beating City home and away this season....

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Players should be made to wear gloves that glow & bleep when they touch the ball. Problem solved.

    *switched off for throw ins....

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Or just chop their arms off and reattach them after the games. Simple.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Tie them to their sides? Less costly....

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          True, but I'd love to see them make a mistake and put Toure's arms on Silva's body.

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Will City score?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

      Yeah

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Nope.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Only kidding.

  13. walkman666

    • 11 Years

    How did MacArthur clear that? Impressive!

    1. Sif

      Sourcery

    2. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Very!

  14. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Funny how United are actually starting to do well now that van Gaal has gotten over his massive ego and decided to play Moyes' signings over his own.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Are you trying to suggest that Nasri should be playing.

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      And play Herrerra

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Herrera was a Moyes signing, no?

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          When did sign ?

          Wasnt it in the summer ?

        2. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Moreso the club

        3. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

    5. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure it's quite as simple as that

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Picking the right players is just as important as picking the right tactics. The two go hand in hand.

    6. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Poor effort.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        At what?

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

    7. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      It's all about the Fil-Los-o-phy

    8. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Just takes a while for the players to learn his systems

    9. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Fellaini behind Rooney is the way to go.

      So threatening with Mata's up there too.

      Foget RVP, Falcao and ADM

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Agree

  15. Jimbo123
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Murray or Remy?

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      M

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      got to be Murray

    3. Rafabio
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Murray

  16. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Navas is the worst player in the league

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Shaun Wright Phillips disagrees.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        He's bloody useless too.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Robbed a living off City then us.

          Most impressive when you consider we both paid him millions to sit on our respective benches for the last 6 years.

  17. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    "Bolasie the speed merchant"

    Did I really just hear that?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Nope, sound waves arent audible at that speed.

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      You can find him dealing round the back of Iceland in Norwood Junction.

  18. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    So, Eriksen to which Palace mid?

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Puncheon

      1. whitters_2014
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah defo! Zaha if not but he's wasteful

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    14 shots off target so far, City have only themselves to blame

  20. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Yaya is the weakest big guy I've seen.

  21. Rafabio
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Austin --> Murray for me. Easiest decision in a while now.

    Kun to Murry also a though.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Good consideration. CP have three good fixtures, and then it turns.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        perfect as a short term pre-wc punt though

      2. Rafabio
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Just need him for two of those three, then DGW Chelsea player.

  22. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Thank god that useless lump Navas is off

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Nasri on at last

  24. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Nasri looks livid

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Happy go lucky bunch are Citeh.

  25. andy85wsm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Nasri should have been on about 25 minutes ago.

  26. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    What a a goal Yaya

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

  28. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  29. TorresMagic™
