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.

    Have never owned Fuchs.. Only Simpson + Huth last season. Is he worth the extra 0.4 over the rest?

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

      If you can find it, yes

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

      He's a BAP magnet so I'd say yes it's worth it

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

      no, morgan the pick of the bunch

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

      Yes.

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

    Mata punt didn't work as planned but managed to got 75 points and 2 to go. Fpl season back on track

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wow well done.

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

      Honestly Mata was central to everything good for utd early on. could have got 2

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

      What are you doing with Mata? Swansea isn't a bad fixture.

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

        Keeping for that game and then ship him out Alli / Chadli etc.

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

          Hmm...Alli could be a good choice.

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

            Really nice home games from gw11 onwards.

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

      was that a captain punt?

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

        No. Just my Walcott replacement

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

      Very unlucky that he didn't get points on the board this match. Did incredible well on the BPS without scoring as well. Could have been a huge score

  3. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Did Defoe > Austin and held off doing Payet > Firmino. Need a big day tomorrow 😆

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

      why get in austin before chelsea?

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

        Defoe against Arsenal looked less appealing

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

    I really want to do Son + Tekkers to Cou + Austin tonight.

    But am worried if there is a possibility for Austin not to be nailed on with Boufal, Redmond and others. Any insight?

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

      He starts imo, do it

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

    sanchez to stay or should i cange to firmino/de bruyne

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

      * change

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

        Definetily transfer out and never buy again after today's performance

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

    Am I missing something?
    Why are people still taking sterling out?he looked lively today, had a few shots, got in some decent positions and city should kick on from here
    Sterling > Coutinho if that's the only way of getting him in that's fair enough but he's a keeper for me

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

      same

      2 shots in the first half but foster saves

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

        mid (h) next up too

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

      Selling him before Middlesborough at home is a bit risky, Im keeping

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Because he hasn't got points. Simple as that really. You could apply that logic to Ibra a few weeks ago and now we know ditching was the right move. With Sterling, I'd lean towards keeping, but you really can't afford to carry any underperforming mids this season

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

        I get that city scored 4 an he blanked but it sometimes happens
        How many assists did ozil get today?mane?
        At home to boro is a great fixture

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I agree. I'm just gonna ditto my original comment here. The answer to your question is that simple

        2. 824545201
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ozil got an assist today.
          And Sterling has blanked in 4 consecutive GW's, that's enough for people to start ditching him, you can't afford patience this season.

    4. chicrah
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Better mids within the price bracket I believe.

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

        who?

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

          Liverpool and Arsenal mids. I sold Sterling for Coutinho this week. Plus having two City players (assuming he has Kun) is one City player too many for now.

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

            I've got Firmino, Coutinho and wallcott

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

              Same

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

        Name a few

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

      Exactly, should be a big points haul for Aguero
      Somebody needs to assist him
      Nolito (rat boy) looks pretty average and is a bit of a tool

    6. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I admit I didn't see the game, but I've heard that a lot recently, with no points to show for it.
      Gave him this week to give me some returns but nothing from 4 goals means he has to go.
      Might get him back in if he picks up again, but can't carry any mids this season

    7. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lack of FPL points.

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

      Repost as bottomed
      So...
      A) Walcott+ Valencia-->Couts+Morgan for a -4
      OR
      B) Valencia-->Fuchs
      C) Walcott+Valencia-->Gundogan+Fuchs/any other defender in the game (-4)

    9. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does anybody know about Cedric injury and when he should be back?

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

        Good question, says 6th Nov as a 'possible return' but nothing concrete....very tempting Valencia replacement at 4.9

    10. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott to Firmino for double up with Cout will be the big decision this week

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

        Easy decision if you have Alexis.

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

        Who to sell for Coutinho?
        (Sanchez/Firminho/Capoue)
        A - Sterling
        B - Wally

        Thanks

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

          That's a difficult one, t would say Wally, due to better short term fixtures. Hopefully he drops by 0.1-02. to offset the TV loss if wanting to buy him back

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

      Son + CWilson > Coutinho + 5.7ATT Okazaki -4? (Play 3-5-2)

      Team;

      Heaton
      Kosc Lovren Holebas
      Sanchez Firm Son Walcott Allen
      Aguero Lukaku

      Subs; Pickford CWilson Amat MWilson

      Need to do tonight before Couts price rise

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

        Wilson plays Sunderland next

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

        Wow that is total madness, taking out Wilson (SUN) for a hit?

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

          Guess so. It was just to get Couts in but think I'll save the FT and go a bit longer without him

    12. Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Best use of 2 FT here?

      Cech (4.0)
      Valencia, Friend, Pieters, Evans, Amat
      Walcott, Sanchez, Firmino, Redmond, Capoue
      Benteke, Kun, Lukaku

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

        Valencia OUT surely

        1. Mickey Tyrion™
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          For who?

          1. istanbul05
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Fuchs?

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

        Wow, 10 players same as mine
        If i had 2 FT Valencia and walcott-->Couts and 5.0 def

    13. andy85wsm

      Parm - nice shout with Vardy given fixtures but are we not worried about rotation with Slimani especially with CL?

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

        I actually want slimani but rotation putting me off

        Need some differentials badly

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

        Good point, but they 'almost' have their UCL group wrapped up and are struggling in the league. Not sure whether UCL should be their main priority right now plus he's already had his rest.

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

      Gundogan. An under-prized gem or just another Capoue?

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

        Its Matic's turn next.

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

          Agreed, I'm excited for tommorow

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

        He's a modric type player. Has potential but never translates to points.

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

          One for the watchlist. 8 KP's in the last 2 games. Could be a bargain

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

        Is he actually nailed on?

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

          Can never tell with Pep but he's started 5 out of the last 6

    15. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Crazy week

      Stones got a clean sheet

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

        That surprised me... As well as sanchez dominance. I wonder if I should remove him for next week for firmino/de bruyne?

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

        Surely the most ridiculous

        That and Shaw!!!!!

      3. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And a BAP 😮

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

        I'm more surprised at the fact that he looks like he's on for a bonus point...

    16. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke look any good?

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

        Yes

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

        He does every week and gets nothing 🙁

      3. chicrah
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looks solid.. focal point of Palace attack.

    17. M.A.G

      Just WOW. 😀

        Best keeper ever

        1. M.A.G
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Glad i picked him over Foster

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

        Don't get me wrong, a couple of great saves but anyone else thoroughly underwhelmed by that video? Was expecting some Heaton masterclass.

    18. istanbul05
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Slightly annoyed I brought in Firmino over Coutinho this morning, but can't have it all!

      I want to bring in Fuchs and Gundogan but can't afford both....

      A) Baines to Fuchs (Keep Capoue as 4th Mid)

      B) Baines & Capoue to Morgan & Gundogan (-4)

      Cheers fellas

        How much is gunaD?

        1. istanbul05

        • 11 Years

        If you ever listen to any advice this season, listen to this: don't buy Gundogan.

        1. istanbul05
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          reasons?

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He will get rotated. You'll end up selling him in a few weeks for the next cheap midfielder that just scored a brace

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

      How did Sterling look today?

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

        Fairly lively, had two decent shots saved in first half
        Madness to get rid before boro game

    20. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone else have Hazard?

      Got him in this week due to a couple injuries, and quite happy with it tbh. Few tough fixtures, but the change in system has really freed him up and those pens are so useful

    21. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott and Walker -> Coutinho and Fuchs/ Stones/ Morgan for free?
      Have Sanchez and Firminho already.

      Yes or no?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years

        this, but i would be happy with a brace (13).

    23. borat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      walcott to firmino
      or
      deeney to austin
      or both for hit

        Not nice to call people on here this!

          Haha.......there are a few though!!!!

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

          Spot on TM

    26. willl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Son to Tadic is tempting me. Why would doing it be wrong?

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

        I had that mofo for weeks with no return... never again

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

        I'm probably doing Son to Redmond. Tadic just doesn't appeal that much without pens

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

          Le Tiss was on TS the other week saying how good Redmond is having watched some training sessions; definitely interested in him

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

            And Puel seems to love him. OOP and Hull next. I'm pretty excited tbh

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        😀

        So many better options tbh. Bouffal interests me more

      4. Knowledgeable meerkat

        I like it

        I'm a huge Tadic fan, and their fixtures pick up soon. Hull next, maybe I'm biased but looks good

      Valencia for Fuchs or a Southampton defender, thinking VVD...

      Am also doing Son > Coutinho and Deeney > Austin this week, defensive move would be a -4 but the rest of my defence is Amat, Kone, Smith, Pieters so backed into a bit of a corner as Kone may as well be a non player at the moment...could leave Deeney another week and avoid hit but very reluctant with Austin facing Hull next.

      Walcott is not gonna play anymore right?

        He'll still play, just tough fixtures

        On current form he should.

          Ox, Giroud now in the team.

        Giroud playing so well is quite alarming

      Is Fuchs likely to drop? Would rather wait till after to get him in.

          Yeah saw that. But not sure how long he's been that way.
