Saturday’s events conclude at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace host Jurgen Klopp’s buoyant Liverpool side.

Goals certainly look on the agenda – Palace are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Klopp’s defence are without a shut-out on the road in ten away trips.

Christian Benteke will carry the Eagles’ threat against his former club, while Liverpool’s likely benefactors are far more difficult to pin down.

Philippe Coutinho heads into the encounter having earned more than 174,000 transfers in as the most popular target ahead of Gameweek 10.

However, James Milner won’t be featuring on the scoresheet: he misses out having missed training this week with a virus. Alberto Moreno comes in at left-back for the visitors – a potential weak point that will no doubt be targeted by Alan Pardew’s men.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    - on Alexis’ form through the middle
    "He is doing extremely well and I believe that he enjoys it. But we can as well play 4-4-2 with two through the middle as well, because Mesut can play in behind or on the flank. I will see. Let’s not create problems that we don’t have at the moment."

      Avg formation post Giroud introduction is a map I would like to see

    Damn, just realised I changed my (c) & (vc) from Walcott & Aguero to Ozil & Aguero this morning when I heard about Wally's injury. That went well.

    Musa definitely looks worth a punt now. Just worried about starts and game time. Anyone else considering him?

    1. Pompel

      Rotation on the cards

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        For cups/league or randomly?

      I'm tempted to go for KdB looking at fixtures.

  5. Jay_

      Prodl 29
      Britos Amarabat 26
      Gomes Holebas 25

      Does that work out 0 or 1 bonus for Holebas?

      1. Team Cruel

        0. Three players have achieved enough for bonus before it gets down to his level.

        Judging by the week so far i think Kouyate has a great chance of a brace tomorrow, maybe even a hat-trick looms for Kanté.

        Guessing sterling to continho is a transfer on the cards for most people that have him

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Did it 11:29 this morning

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Also Son to Coutinho for me

        3. Jake Donahue
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          Did it last week

      9. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Was looking forward to a great weekend after the Sanchez and Aguero show but Coutinho has pretty much hit me on the forehead with a steel chair and then power bombed me through a table to bring me down to earth.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Delete or decay??

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Had to google that. Don't watch it much at all these days.

            1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Matt Hardy has gone so bad it's amazing. the Hardys are the only good thing in tna, but are hilarious

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ibra to Austin
        Redmond to KDB

        2ft

        Looks good right?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          But Ibra plays Swansea

          1. andymck
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            But he hasn't scored since GW4

          2. rdamjan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Today he was my captain against Burnley. Burnley.

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              😀

              I did the exact same moves last GW for free. Regretting removing Redmond a bit. You should see how he does tomorrow. If you can't afford to wait then go for it!

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Redmond hasn't even played yet

          1. rdamjan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I know.

            1. Heavy Data
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Ive transferred him in already in place of Mate. It will be fine im sure :/

            2. Cok3y5murf
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              So what's the reasoning behind this move when he's in good form and has Hull next?

              1. rdamjan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I cant afford double SOU, if I bring Austin in...

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  That makes no sense. Good luck.

              2. Team Cruel
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                He is replacing 1 player with 2

      11. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ive lost my patience with this week and have already done 4 transfers for next week. Monreal, Mane, Mata and Grant out. Stones, Coutinho, Redmond and Heaton in. I might live to regret it but **** it.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Someone needs to cool down

      12. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This has probably been said a thousand times but Stirling out for cout? Boro at home the only thing troubling me. Would take out Walcott but lack of funds plus he loves scoring against the scum

      13. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Owning Mane Coutinho and Firmino is so fun to watch

        1. Z
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Bet it's fun watching 2 CB and 2 DM's getting all the goals

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            mane and firm will come good in this second half

        2. Kroosin'
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          ...the liverpool games.

      14. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm sick of failed captaincy every week. I have a good overall rank solely down to what must be a fairly good squad because my captain picks suck.

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          who did you go for smurf?

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Firm. Don't get me wrong I know there is still a half of football but I'd been on alexis all week and just tried to be different.

            Every week I either pick the obvious or the maverick and it fails what ever I chose.

        2. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I generally find I have good captain, crap team, or good team crap captain

          Never both though

        3. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think i'm just going for the poll leader every week now Smurf. Doing my own thing doesn't work.

      15. Boydinho
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If only Leicester had just one nailed on viable options the punt on offensively. Muse @ 7 looks tempting, but so much rotation coming up.

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I like to rotate them with Radiohead.

      16. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can we get a new chip next season?
        I want a "joker" chip where you can change something in your team after games, like captain or subs etc
        Not transfers though obviously

        1. Boydinho
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I hope you are joking

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I also want a chip where you can make unlimited transfers mid-match like Firmino to Coutinho and then Capoue to Gundongan.

      17. Champione
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Non Heaton owners; we just have to get him, don't we - even for a hit? FT tonight, but maybe other pressing issues make it a hit next week

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, at his price he is essential in my view

        2. Brap.
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Last of the No Heatons

      18. PEP G
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Should I be worried about Firmino?

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Until I sell him, yes

      19. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good save.

      20. Jay_
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Best Deeney replacement?

          A) Austin (hul, LIV, EVE, cpl, MID)

          B) Musa (WBA, wat, MID, sun, MNC

          C) Wilson (SUN, sto, ars, LIV, bur)

          1. Boydinho
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Austin for me. Too much rotation with Musa i expect

          2. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            C for two then re assesss

          3. Styles_X
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Wilson

        • camarozz
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Don't know bout ye guys but I'm getting tired of firmino. 3 goals and nothing frm him yet. Maybe one pool mid is enough. Coutinho.

          1. GREENDREAMS11
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            behave yourself, complaining because he didn't score in 45 minutes

          2. Pasqualinho
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The problem with Liverpool mids is, if you hop off one on to the other, its the one you've just got rid of whose turn it is to get the points.

            1. camarozz
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Maybe sterling to coutinho. Should have done it this morn but bottled it. Have 2fts for nxt wk tho.
              And sanchez capt so can't complain to much.

          3. Ravager
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The last time I saw this. Firmino got a brace the next game...

        • Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Deeney on 9bps with his assist 😆

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'll take 5 over 2 and -9bps.

            1. Sánchez
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              This.

            2. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I hope he keeps the assist

          2. Lyonnais
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He's been Troll Deeney for me 😆

            I'm looking at Deeney out for Austin.

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

              Same

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

          How is that not a card for MacArthur?

          1. The Enlightener
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            What I was thinking

        • Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking of switching to 3-5-2 to bring in Coutinho. Has to be today to afford before another Cout rise.

          Son + C.Wilson > Coutinho + £5.7ATT (Okazaki?)

          Current team
          Heaton
          Lovren Kosc Holebas
          Sanchez Firmino Walcott Son
          Aguero Lukaku CWilson

          Subs; Pickford, Allen, Amat, MWilson

          Worth a -4?

        • HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Theo to Coutinho?
          I'd then have triple Liverpool mids!

          1. GREENDREAMS11
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Toying with 3 myself, the way they are going it seems like a good idea

        • Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Switched (C) from Sanchez to Deeney this morning. still doing alright, luckily

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I did the opposite yesterday, after listening to the scoutcast bit about being overly maverick

            1. Parm
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I got Ighalo in and captained him. Talk about mavericky business.

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Might lose 6 points later.

            1. Back on the horse
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              yeah was surprised to see that assist come up, what happened?

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Lukaku assist.

        • S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago
