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.

  9. Morgs
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lukaku and Darmian to Smalling and Rashford for a -4, am I mad?

    I'm just worried that Darmian won't get enough minutes to even record a clean sheet... Also rate rashford's chances at home to villa and palace

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

      You can't do Martial instead of Rashford?

  10. A.T
    • 15 Years

    Any injuries tonight?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lennon and I think Lanzini

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        lanzini? think he was taken off because he was tired but could be wrong

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I thought so too, didn't look injured.

      2. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years

        Lanzini didn't look injured

      3. Top 210 Club

      Interesting to see what the people who did double CPL and double EVE are going to do next week, feel they could suffer a bit.

        But they will do better then those who didn't. They have the points in the bank.

    So people have tried to convince me not to get rid of Lukaku...

    I can get Martial in for Kane for a week, Kane back in for 35. Would mean a slightly worse GW35 team for me and the risk of Kane scoring against Stoke is very real.

    Do that or get rid of Kaku? Or keep them both and abandon Martial?

    1. Will's Faceless
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The reason lukaku is a troll, isn't just because he blanks when you have him. It's because he nets a brace the week after you sell him. It's an fpl rule.

  20. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Need a Lennon replacement for 5.8 that isn't Lanzini.. Can't be Arsenal or Liverpool..uh oh.

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

      Andros Townsend is your man

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lanzini out no?

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

        did you see the game?

    3. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Getting Townsend means I have Mitrovic and Towsend..eurgh

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Townsend to Mitrovic's head! Could be fruitful!

  21. Bazzalona
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    forget the fpl great win for man utd - superb goal from rashford.

    ok then lukaku trolls yet again but nice cleanie from dann

  22. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Fosu-Mensah first choice over Darmian now surely??

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      thought the same with gabriel over mert last week

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

        Is Mert now back in as first choice?

    2. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      no idea what goes on in LVG's big head mate

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You'd think so, still a risk though with 3 games in a week.

    4. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep.

      And possibly ahead of Rojo too

      F-M went to left back when Rojo went off

  23. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I only saw it once in the pub was the Atlético hand ball a pen ?

    1. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, 100%. In box too.

    2. And we all have legs
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

      1. And we all have legs
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Although to be fair, Iniesta should have been off with a red card for the Atletico penalty.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I agree

    3. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      yes inside the box

    4. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      100%

    5. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks lads

  24. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lanzini didn't get injured, right?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Another change for the Hammers, with Emmanuel Emenike coming on in place of Lanzini. Bilic had to do something.

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Didn't look like it

  25. dejarik
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Thank you so very much, FPL gods!

    I have both Delaney and Robles, and they end up getting 6 and 11 points. My main rivals in my mini-league BOTH triple captained Lukaku. In addition, one had Lennon and the other had Bolasie.

    Got 66 points in the end. My weekend was terrible, with both Sakho, Coutinho and (kinda) KDB not playing. Lanzini and Martial, who came in from the bench, got 2 points each. And Lanzini had a goal wrongfully disallowed. Robles and Delaney - thank you so much!

    Now there might be a chance for a CPL CS in 34 too!

  26. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Red Mist in the games today everyone was fighting

  27. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    would you prefer lennon or lolkaku to keep ??

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Keep Lukaku. I also have Lennon and am probably ditching for a Liverpool mid

  28. Top 210 Club
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If Lennon and Janmaat out, then..

    Ozil + Lennon + Janmaat + Dann to Iwobi, KDB, Smalling and Dawson for -8?

    If just Lennon out then -4 without Dawson?

  29. Will's Faceless
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Head to head opponent had tc lukaku, I had a gut feeling he would so used my bench boost a week early. Hennesey off the bench has turned into a masterstroke. 6 points clear in my head to head league now. After my start to the season I'd not have thought I'd be in this position. What a turnaround.

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

      Good for you. Lukaku was a complete disaster. 2 games .. points doubled and he still scored less than almost every other player.

      1. Will's Faceless
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. I did put the armband on him too but happy with him blanking. Hope your 34 week makes up for it!

  30. KingoftheRunts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth doing darmian to fosu memsah for -4 ? Could well be on for 12 points plus but rotation risk.. .the fact that united conceded 3 after darmian came on bodes badly, but then again against villa lvg could play anyone cos theyre the team to rotate against. Too many variables - any insight?

    1. dub75670
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. im going to punt on darmian to him but not a -4 for me
