We head to Selhurst Park for Saturday’s final fixture as Palace and West Ham’s dodgy defences go head-to-head.

Christian Benteke warmed up for this one with a midweek hat-trick against Gibraltar and will fancy his chances against a rearguard that conceded more goals than any other over the first seven.

Subject of a recent members article, the in-form Dimitri Payet has racked up a goal and four assists in four starts for the visitors and chipped in with a goal and assist for France over the break.

Michail Antonio has netted in each of his last two away outings – at Man City and West Brom – suggesting he could punish his recent batch of sellers against a Palace backline that’s yet to keep a clean sheet.

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

    Valencia-->Cresswell coming up

  2. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    In a draft league would you rather have:

    A.) Antonio

    B.) Arnautovic

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Rake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably B considering A plays in defence from time to time.

    4. Pack The Ripper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A) as Sunderland coming up. Then, what do I know

  3. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    I need 3 goals from holebas and 9 from firmino

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      The firmino bit couldnt be more accurate

      Cholevas can go do one

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      and a hattie from Ibra

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Of own goals of course 😉

    3. Mr. Meeseeks

      Hahahaha. Good one.

  4. Pack The Ripper

    Eurgh I benched Foster for Pickford this week, expecting Spurs to score a few!

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I expected Foster to save a few. 🙂

      1. mcrayeps
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same lol, almost 8 pts before alli score

  5. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    2FTs: Koné & Antonio > Vertonghen & Walcott. Sound good?

    Lol I wish. it's actually Bolasie instead of Walcott.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Game is young. Antonio may well do something

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, but he's the only one I can actually downgrade to upgrade the defence, haven't watched a second of the game, just saw he's at RWB again.

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He is indeed unfortunately
          But with Sunderland up next...
          I'll give him at least 1 more

          1. Pariße
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            That's the thing, the move can easily backfire, if he's put on the wing again, especially wih those fixtures. Tricky.

  6. bici

    9 years, 2 months ago

    If Costa's price was 13.0, everyone would be talking that he is the most essential fantasy football player.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      How does that work?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lol I'm reyt confused

      2. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I read it as shorthand for saying that a player's price often creates a perception of value that doesn't correlate to his recent performances.

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

      He's easily more essential that the 13.1 million guy.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No ways
      Costa is in the form of his life.
      Aguero is not.

      When Aguero is on form, he's defo the most essential player

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not true

      I think when someone has scored 100+ in 130+ games

      Whether your name is sergio kun aguero ot adama diomande is irrelevant. You are essential no matter what with that record.

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        How about 39 in 62?

    5. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa's popularity to do a Costa Concordia, once he gets the next yellow 🙂

      1. mcrayeps
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just prepare for the subs when costa get another yc 😉 his price will get higher

  7. Sol
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    1FT 0.3 ITB

    pickford jak
    Evan Amat Williams Walker 3.9*

    A) Evan > Adam Smith
    B) Jak > Grant
    C) Save and just play Amat

    Cheers

    Looking like next week is either a boring Evans->Stoke defender or Save. Not seeing a need to panic anywhere

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years

      Probably going to shift one of my keepers myself

      Reid and Kouyate nullifying Palace strongest traits.

      1. Total Foot 5

        9 years, 2 months ago

        so far u liking antonio on the right wing?

        debating if dropping him or sterling for wally given antnio has Sun next

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 2 months ago

            If it stays wing backs then Cressswell will be much better value.

      2. BrockLanders
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Brunt came on as a sub today.

        *MASSIVE OOP KLAXON*

      3. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It's great to see Cresswell back in the line up for West Ham - I had him in my team for most of last season and he would have been in my GW1 draft if he hadn't been injured. Definitely someone to keep an eye on - currently priced at 5.3M.

      4. Tree House

        9 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry revised question..

        To fund Antonio to Theo:

        A) Evans to Cameron/pieters (which?)

        B) jaku to grant

        C) capoue to Allen

        Cheers!

        1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Only get rid of capoue if your replacing him with a 4.3 mid

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Pwd - Aguero as said below

      5. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        13 goals in 3 games for Marshall.

        Surely Jaku will get another chance now (7 goals in 5 games)?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          You would think so.

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

          For sure Jaku should be back unless the manager has lost his balls!

        3. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          was surprised he got dropped.. had a good start to the season

          put in a motm performance against man united in his last match which hull lost in extra time

        4. InSaneMan-e
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He shouldn't have been dropped. Was playing well

        5. Somalion
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I was making a similar argument earlier to some friends. Since Marshall came in Hull's defence are an absolute disaster (can't blame him on everything, of course, but maybe Jaku was a better organiser)

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            yup, didn't really deserve to get dropped in the first place.....

            1. Somalion
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Agree, disastrous decision.

        6. Jafooli
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed all above.....

      6. PlayPercentage
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Any Steklenburg owners on here?
        17pts must be a record for a goalkeeper. No CS either!

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years

          I wish!

        I have really been put off Snodgrass after the performance from Hull today.

        1. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I bought him and Kosc in. Desperate stuff.

          1. Ratatouille
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Really poor performance from Snoddy!

            1. JAC THE CAT
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Yep, well off the pace.

        2. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Same here really thinking of getting Allen in place of him.

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Oh really??

          Tell me more about the fact that you've been put of by a player who plays for a releagtion team

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            No thanks

        4. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Just brought him in and feel obliged to give him at least one more chance. Wasn't expecting much at Bournemouth but that was a woeful performance.

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            If you've just got him then I can see why you would keep him.

            Needs to pick himself up as he was the shining light in that team.

        5. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He's just 5.7m. There's not much in that bracket to choose from anyway. Allen? Look at his run to start the season: 1,1, 2, 2, 2.

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I'm thinking that price range in midfield might not be worthwhile for my first 11

        Shocking game week but it was always going to be eventful. Next week is another game week just forget it and start again *BANG!!!*

        • I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Capoue -> Allen anyone? Think it's time to bank that 0.4m.

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              I would use Allen as my 4th mid and downgrade Snodgrass to a 4.3/4.4
