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.

      Not sure about this although I fully feel your frustration.

      City have 3 plum home fixtures in next 5 (they do look turd at the mo mind you). United have two tough fixtures coming up. But main one would have been to see if Liverpool win and get thier DGW in 34 you could have done Kun > Studge.

  2. Pariße
    • 10 Years

    Have these 4 in my problematic collection, who to get rid of first?

    A) Foster
    B) Haidara
    C) Downing
    D) Agüero

    1. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      cant be a serious question

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        It is. It would be Downing for me, but I can give him another chance with the next game being STK (H) and Agüero is still a world class players who could explode any time soon. The other 2 are quite irrelevant, but are going to be quite importnant for GW33.

        1. elkunaguero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Foster is out for the season...

          1. Pariße
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            But it's not an urgent transfer since I have Pantilimon for the next week. I'm probably transferring him out for K Davis though.

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Any blank GW33 players?

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Unfortunately yes...PVA, Sanchez & Giroud, but I'm keeping those, I'm happy with them tbf.

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Well then Haidara should go - Downing and Aguero play GW33

          1. Pariße
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks

  3. Guidinho
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Yaya was abysmal irrespective of his goal. Passing, tempo, decision making, shooting (excluding the goal) were all abject.

    Also a team that has Demi, Sagna, Clichy in their back 4 deserve nothing.

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

      He has been absymal since his return from ACON. MCI's middle is just trash now. Perfect time to play them and their pre-historic 4-4-2.

    2. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He's gone... only cares about trying to setup goals for himself

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

        Two shots in particular were akin to Stam's penalty in 2000. Some of the players in that team are just rubbish which considering how much they spent makes it worse

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Lampard was worse

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

        I'll forgive Lampard for age and not getting regular minutes, Yaya seemed to be a one man troll that had captained himself in fantasy this week.

        City in a major need for clear out. I can think of easily 8-10 players who need to move on.

        Happy as I am an Arsenal fan mind you.

        1. Pariße
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          ''Yaya seemed to be a one man troll that had captained himself in fantasy.''

          This has to be one of the best quotes today, describes his performance perfectly.

    The technology......how can the assistant ref give that?

  7. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years

    Sanchez to Silva worked out well...

    1. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS

      ouch

    2. The one who has a knock

      Ditto, it would have if we'd done it 6-7 weeks ago though.

    3. Pablitto

      similar to my Belerin to Naughton 🙁

    1. Puyol Pants Up

      Yaya

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

        Need to see it again

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      It's Yaya's. If Aguero tries to claim it then Toure will go off in a 'birthday cake' strop again.

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

        Aguero wants the Golden Boot!

      2. Guidinho
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Well with Austin's assist anything is possible

      3. The one who has a knock
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I would punch Aguero in the ovaries if I were Toure and he tried to steal that goal off me.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He's out of form which means he won't get it 😉

    4. The one who has a knock
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Whoever's goal, Austin will likely get the assist.

  9. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Benching Aguero this week. As a City fan I'd rather play Silva.

  10. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Happy to keep aguero. Hopefully people sell him after that

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

      Needs Yaya to be benched before seeing any change in output.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        keeping proven players as differentials despite bad form is always a risk worth taking

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

          I'm not going to sell him with West Ham, Villa and QPR at home in the next 5 but there is some serious issues in that team. No cohesion or team spirit from what I saw.

          Ancelotti will be there for certain next season.

          Or not

  12. icywrists23
    • 11 Years

    Aguero is becoming a differential in my ml. I'm happy to keep him for now because of this

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

      Good fixtures coming up but with that turd playing in midfield (exc Silva) who knows what service he will get.

      1. icywrists23
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        yeah hes starting to get frustrating to watch and city is a mess right now

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Can't believe aguero to Austin worked out so well.done it 5 minutes before the deadline.77 with captain Austin to go.hard to beat good luck.

      Great work. Nearly switched (C) to Hazard last minute but didn't quite have the insight/decisiveness you did!

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

      But come on, it's easy to say that in hindsight. Aguero out is a huge step for anyone let alone to bring in an indifferent player at his best

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

    At least Aguero scored tonight.

  19. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    70 with 3 inc. C to go. expecting quite a few goals tomorrow

  20. Hypnos
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero is just trying to help us loyal fpl managers in the long run when his overall ownership goes down so we benefit when he returns with his weekly double figures 😀

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

      Thanks Hypnos , feeling better now

      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      It'll only be one week though, then he gets brought back in.
      8 points in the last 4gw compared to giroud or rooney. Smart managers sold him last week, wish I was smart.

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

    I took aguero out for the last few weeks it's worked perfectly but having watched today, I might put him back in for costa. I think he will score v United and has good fixtures, he was unlucky today

  22. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Still think it touched Aguaro after seeing more replay's.

    1. icywrists23
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      is there any way they change it?

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

    Did it come off Aguero? Yes

    Will it be changed? Not a chance (maybe by the Dubious Goals Panel later on)

  24. icywrists23
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    what better options do you have other than aguero though? With costa out, you only have 2 other high priced strikers in sturridge and rooney and I rather have Aguero right now. Giroud the only one that makes sense as hes the hottest striker in the league and you can free up a lot of funds if you get him for aguero.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      this is the problem. Perhaps Murrey and Gomis are the best alternatives 😕

      1. icywrists23
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        yeah but are they consistent and reliable? last couple of weeks they have been doing well especially murray but I rather have Aguero. Class over Form for me

  25. toerag
    • 15 Years

    ok kun or giroud for next week??

  26. icywrists23

    now which crystal palace mid should i get

    a)bolasie
    b)puncheon
    c)zaha

    will puncheon still take free kicks with jedinak coming back?

    And one more thing.

    MILNER should be in starting 11 every week, because NAVAS can't cross even if his life depends on it. He has one stupid move (push ball in the right and try to pass to 1st post (but it happens once in 10 times)) and everyone know what he will do. Except pace, he has nothing.

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

      yep on both counts

  29. whitters_2014
    • 11 Years

    If the dubious goals panel award it to aguero wi fpl amend it days later? Sorry I'm ignorant with this kind of ruling

      Nope. If it's not in tonight then it won't happen
