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.

    which 1 ft should be done
    a) wally>firm (already own cout and sanchez)
    b) deeney>austin
    c) allen>gundogan

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

      Wouldn't do A because of rotation risk after int break. Monitor Southampton for tomorrow and Thursday to find out how they play now when Boufal is back. C could be a good move as well. B for me, just, depending on whether Austin is 100 % nailed

  2. The 12th Man

    Valencia > Fuchs or Fonte?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuchs or Cedric(if fit)

    2. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looking at Fuchs myself.

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Clyne

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already have Lovren,Coutinho and Firmino

    4. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuchs then consider fonte later

      Thanks guys

  3. F4L

    Would u prefer Redmond in a 3-5-2 or Austin in a 3-4-3? i.e your 7th attacker

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin I think

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin - more consistent

    3. Carlton P
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin

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

      As you should be
      Watching that game, he should have scored at least 2, maybe even 3
      The tap in miss at the end was beyond dreadful

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        it's every week now, chances you'd back yourself to score

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That's why i said before the match that i'd kinda want him to do well even though i don't own him. Painful to watch this...

      I feel for you (Chaka Khan)
      I was considering swapping out Kun for Ibra (c) this week.

      Had I made this monstrous error, I would have hurled myself from the Brooklyn Bridge.

      Let's hope Stoke do you proud.

        Son played today and did nothing.

    Coutinho is on another planet at the moment. What a player.

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

      Gone this summer methinks

    2. applebonkers

      £8.5mil signing too. imagine what he'd be worth now if he had an english passport at his still tender age

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bargain.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Or if he could dab 😉

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          even darts players are dabbing now

      3. InSaneMan-e
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's always produced a few stellar performances/goals every season, but this year, he seems consistent too...
        If he keeps this up, he's up there for player of the year

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

      yeah, can't disagree, I have him and Bobby F atm, I know he has been kinda quiet recently but thinking of adding lallana, What do you think Berinho?

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

        Berbinho, sorry dude

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't see Lallana keeping up with MFC personally.

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

          ahhh ok, cheers will have to look elsewhere, not too keen on Mane at 9.0 tbh

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

        Lallana looks unfit still

        Either injury discomfort or lack of conditioning

        Came off the last two games looking shattered

    4. Lecky Legs FC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't call him a magician for nothing 😉

    5. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very good and boosting with confidence. Rarely makes the wrong decision anymore. Just traansferred him in for Son.

  8. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I love Benteke.. But I can't take anymore of this. So close to points in all 3 games but a big fat nothing in the end

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

    Walker or Bellerin out for a cheaper def? Would lose 0.3 on walker compared to 0.1 on bells

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

      Alonso?

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

      Nah, solid gold Gs those 2

  10. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gundogan as a snodgrass replacement? Know he won't score like that every week but might tick along within assists?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good option

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As long as he gets gametime

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Amazing.just checked his price there to see its 5.4.my do same myself.

    4. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For 5.4 I'm actually reluctant. He takes up a spot and I believe there must be better options from other teams out there. Are you going to start him and risk the 10 min cameos?

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he'll be my 4th mid.

        Gametime ha looked good since back from injury no?

  11. Lucky_Z
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio to Coutinho is no brainer as one of FTs?

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

      What are you waiting for??

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

        I was assessing Mane option as a differential this week. Already have Firmino

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

          Mane flatters to deceive

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

        Could easily bang at least two today though

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yep

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep as big a no brainer you can get

  12. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sell Clyne or Walker for Fuchs?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Clyne

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      clyne

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

      Depends how much you got Walker for. Clyne's fixtures turn right when Spurs gets good so if you got him for more or less his current price then sell Walker imo.

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

    Thinking of
    A capoue to gundogan
    B sterling rashford to gundogan costa -4
    C walcott rashford to gundogan costa -4
    D : replace in b and c rashford with wilson

  14. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia --> Morgan
    Walcott --> Coutinho (-4)

    Worth? Leaves me with this...

    Heaton Pickford
    Mustafi Morgan Francis Evans Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Lallana Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Wilson

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

      Triple 'Pool
      Considering myself

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3 liverpool mids seems overkill even with their form - I'd try and shift Lallana

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

        Lallana (WAT), I don't think I can take a hit to shift him out...

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why? I'm actively considering Firm/Cout/Mane - they look awesome..

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

    Surely Sanchez and Walcott is too much v Spurs?
    Who goes first?
    Theo to Coutinho?

    1. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wally. Sanchez performs in big derby games.

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

        I'mt thinking Giroud back might be better for Sanchez more than Walcott

  16. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I might keep Ibra for one more week.....I know, I know, hear me out.

    With 1 FT I can get to this team:

    Heaton
    Fuchs - Mustafi - Lovren
    Firmino - Coutinho - Sterling - Chadli
    Aguero - Ibra - Austin

    Pickford - Holebas - Capoue - Amat

    The free transfer would be Baines to Fuchs.

    If I get rid of Ibra it will be for Lukaku or Costa who both play each other in what could be a close game. Ibra has Swansea.

    I won't be foolish enough to captain him again but I think I might be able to get away with it one last week....then he's gone! Otherwise I keep Baines and play Holebas vs Liverpool (a) - Or perhaps I take a hit.

    Thoughts?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will be a season keeper for you at this rate Andy

    2. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra's value will inevitably plummet once again - I suppose it's whether you're willing to embrace that

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's a good point actually, didn't take that into consideration. Will fall at least another 0.1m

    3. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Costa. Don't know how you can keep him after today. I'd be devastated if I still had him.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well keep

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

      Get rid mate. I'll turn of the scoutcast if you make a case for keeping that fraud.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not making a case for anyone else to keep him, just me 😀

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

          I've fixed you an appointment with Ibraholics Anonymous Andy, 3 o'clock next Saturday

    6. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe they should skip the scoutcast this week and hold an intervention instead.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Won't be allowed back on if Mark sees this plan

      2. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ha

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

        A sound plan.

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

        Haha, I promise you, Ibra will score and you'll retain him 1 more week.

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I wish he'd gotten a yellow today to be honest!

      5. @SirAustinDangerPowers
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just take a Hit and get RID. Jumped ship GW8 after the Stoke disaster.
        Amat Ibra >>> Lukaku Fuchs

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Think I prefer just keeping Amat for funds and getting rid of Baines but yeah, it's an option

      6. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably watch Mondays game and see if Swansea look good defensively, if so then ditch.

      7. Funkdoc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Get rid of him and make you team better

        Groundhog Day

      9. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Logical but form > fixtures. I'd reverse the order (sell him & play holebas).

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

          Sell Ibra, get Vardy.

      10. Live Lad
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I bought Snoddy at 5.6. Max his value can go down is 0.1 right? when it reaches 5.5 (base value) it would be more difficult to lose another 0.1.

        Since he is injured, his value not locked? Please help me.

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Max he can fall is .3 in a week

          1. Live Lad
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Understood that 0.3 is the max. I meant realistically. Like some expected Zlatan to fall by 0.3 after Stoke game but only 0.1 down as he reached his base value.

        2. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No his value can still fall. Price is only protected when the red flag is lifted which won't be for a while

          1. Live Lad
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks!

      11. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years

        Valencia + Walcott -> Lovren + Coutinho (-4)?

        Or just Valencia -> Fuchs for free?

          Wouldn't get in lovren

            4.9 max if I do the top option.. Firmino + Coutinho double up looks essential?

        I know most people will disagree, but I reckon these transfers will definitely pay off as the weeks go by..

        Foster/Williams > Heaton/Fuchs (-4)

        Y or N?

            Suprised both his arms aren't injured, the wear & tear they get!

            Amazing number of saves every week.

        That was quite frustrating to watch as a Coutinho/Mane owner.

        Mane looked like he didn't want to be on the pitch.
