A Selhurst Park head-to-head between Palace and Everton brings the curtain down on what has been a bitterly disappointing Gameweek for many Fantasy managers.

Having clinched a crucial home win over Norwich on Saturday, the Eagles boast better attacking form that the Merseysiders prior to this evening’s kick-off.

Over their respective last four matches, Alan Pardew’s men lead Everton for attempts on goal (52 to 42), efforts inside the box (36 to 27) and goals, by four to three. The Toffees have been a little more accurate, however, edging their hosts by 18 shots on target to 17.

Neither side has convinced at the back, though, which potentially bodes well for those who loaded up on their main attackers. Palace have afforded the opposition eight big chances in their last four – only two sides have poorer records – whilst Everton are not far behind on seven big chances against.

Fingers crossed, then, that we something to cheer about as we fine-tune our plans before double Gameweek 34 comes around.

    If it stays 0-0 i will be getting 13 points from 3.Kaku 4,Ward 6 and lennon 3 🙁

      My Jags injury even more frustrating.

        Same, although a whole half to go, we cannot even enjoy a possible clean sheet. So infuriating.

      Quite happy with Hennessey...

    4. Konig Luther

      better than me : only 10 here, and had 4 players

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What a stupid corner

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That was a class corner

      Noble fecked it up

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Class corner? Relying on Noble to produce a world class volley from 30 yards out with 2 minutes remaining isn't the best of ideas

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wasteful

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Poker players pot odds said Caroll's head.

  7. Davido989

    Noble has been pathetic today.

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years

      Carried them. Lifted something at the end of the season. Got them over the line. Raised Herreras game. Ahem...enough now...

  8. La Roja

    Lukaku ➡ Sturridge FT

    Yay or nay

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yay. I might do for a hit.

      1. maratus
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        not for hit imo... just because lukaku havent scored for 135 mins now, it was still good pick.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wait until tomorrow

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Obviously

      2. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Oh, definitely. Need to see who plays for Pool, how they do (if they stay fit), and what Klopp says.

    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What a tw⚽t you are, Mark Noble.

    watching athletico vs barca, cant stand watching lukaku blank again

  10. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lukaku to come off on 59 mins after being booked. You heard it here first.

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks. Hope someone forgets to milk you in the morning then turns you into a Kebab 🙂

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I have him captain, just being being realistic!

        1. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Me too. Won't make much difference what he does, every man and his dog captained him this week.

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Quite. Have Hennessey too so I'm probably better off if there's a clean sheet.

    Lol. Where's Mitrovic gone from the watchlist?

    A most disappointing night for true football fans who like to spend their money watching attractive attacking football. LVG gets a win , I truly hope he doesn't win a trophy. The PL will be a far better place without him.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      West Ham lumped the ball to Carroll all game, no?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        True , was a disappointing from a side who have played a different brand of football all season. However Man U have been pretty disgraceful all season and 9 times out of 10 watching them play is the perfect substitute for sleeping pills . Imo this is not down to the players but the negative tactics employed by LVG. Idiosyncratic arrogance can be an endearing quality but blatant arrogance in every sense of the word is not and is synonymous with LVG.

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Agree, that Rashford goal was pure muck.

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Dude what are you on? United played one of their most attacking, fluid matches of the season

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Another anti UTD numpty, give him his moment

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          No anti LVG.

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Numpty ? Grow up . If you read my comment closely you will realise it is not anti Utd it is anti LVG you Numpty.

        3. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Maybe you should read all the post match criticism of LVG on this forum now after the Villa match. Be very careful though not to misconstrue it as criticism of Man U as you may come to the conclusion that everyone is a Man U hating numpty.

      Someone didn't watch the game...

      1. George Sillett

        I did Andy. I was speaking generally about the season as a whole.

  20. Hybrid.power

    Lukaku out I think this week!

  21. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Just over 35 minutes for Barca to score.

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I think no one here expect something from Kaku tonight. We were so many times disappointed by him, why on the earth do we expect him to outscore Vardy all of sudden'> ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Captain Hindsight?

      DGW Blindsided us..

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think he has 18 goals this year, no? I guess we expected maybe a goal or two over the two game stretch against relatively weak competition. That is not such an outlandish expectation.

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      we needed a dgw striker and he was the best option plus he has 3 of them so logic says its the right move but its football and u can blank at any time

    Wonder how the Hammers respond to this defeat in the league....

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hammers usually show up for the big games... (i.e. Leicester) 😉

  24. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lukaku and Bolasie are bad picks...

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Aw man. Now you tell me?

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks for the heads up

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone who does not produce is ultimately a bad pick, no?

    4. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      At least its bad to own them

    5. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years

      nice one. maybe you should write a community article on it?

  25. Moin

    So Guys, Would You Do:

    A) Kane + Jagielka --> Carroll + Fosu-Mensah (-4)

    B) Kane + Jagielka + Cameron/Bolasie --> Carroll + Fosu-Mensah + Mori/Someone Else (-8)

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

  26. Slam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Dammit, I knew I should of triple captained Bolasie instead of Lukaku 🙁

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Delaney not doing so well on the ol' bps

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      6pts is more than I'm expecting

  28. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years

    Please let this finish 0-0

  29. HurriKane

    Great performance by Fosu Mensah. Cant see Darmian getting in the team anytime soon
