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.

    Delaney clean sheet worth more than a Lukaku (C) goal?

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

      Well I've got Triple C on him.
      I would like a goal

    2. Jazz!

      I'd prefer 8 points with a possible additional 6 thank you

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

        Probably not man. EO and all that

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      To Lukaku captainers who don't own Delaney, yes. [I don't understand the "me" questions.]

  4. Eric the King

    Do we think Mitrovic or Trollaku out for Martial??

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Problem will be everyone will get rid of him than he will score 3 goals next week..

  5. MFC86

    Do you think united being in the semi will have an impact on the minutes of our United assets ?

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

      Ah who cares, the DGW will be a catastrophe anyway.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not for DDG and Smalling. Martial will play most of the minutes too, might get a rest towards the end of Palace game. Rashford is a risk.

    This may be the out of frustration to owning 3 Everton players but is Martinez on thin ice......

    14th in the league
    Worst position in last decade

    His win % is only a touch better than Moyes

    With the likes of lukaku, Barkley, stones, miralles, Coleman etc will they put together a better team /squad

    1. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He's on very thin ice. I know a few Everton fans. They all want him out.

      1. Jake Donahue
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I don't blame them, I expected them to atleast be top half but pushing for europe

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

        Loads of my mates have season tickets. Not happy Bunnies. Collective thinking is that they have the best squad in twenty years.......,... Hugely underachieving.

    Even if it ends 1-0 with Lukaku goal I will be happy

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd be thrilled.

      Will take that

      A full 6 players this match then... Shame I've only got 6 points to show for it.

    When's the UCL Semis draw?

    1. Konig Luther

      i believe it's on Friday

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

    So what's the thoughts on the PFA nominees. Anyone you think was harshly left out?

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

      No Martial is a joke imo. The whole young player thing makes no sense to me

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd strongly disagree with Coutinho nominated over Martial for young player.

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

        Same here 🙂

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Aye, I don't really care too much but think Martial edges that one for consistency.

      2. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Martial lol. He hasn't done enough to warrant it.

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          But Coutinho has?

          Martial's been our best performer this season after de Gea.

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

        Never.

      Alder the defender needs to be up there!

    4. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to sat that any of the nominees don't deserve their place imo

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

      Alderweireld maybe deserved a shout out but the 6 nominees are pretty fair.

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

        On the young player front, kinda expected Martial but that might be some bias.

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

        Agree. Toby should be up there, but all the Leicester guys deserve their place.

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

          Yep, wouldn't be kicking anyone out just think he'd be justified in feeling hard done by.

        Barcelona not scoring in 2 legs is close to impossible.

    This DGW will be a disaster. It's already a disaster before it's even begun.

    Who would you take Darmian out for? Nothing in the bank

  15. England's Number 1

    Not writing Lukaku off just yet. Second half brace coming up. Been like this all season.

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

    bolasie plays way too much fifa, if he actually tried to use his straight speed and power to get into the box, he could be lethal, a striker maybe. i remember last season he scored a hattrick playing ST.
