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.

    Walcott Lallana -> coutinho Redmond ??

      How long is Walcott out for?

        He's not 😀

          Then why sell?

                Yep this

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

            To get coutinho?

            Don't really want double Arsenal for the next few gameweeks.

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

              But he is on form now and will come straight back in next gameweek.

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

                If he plays in CL and scores a brace everyone will want him again. This site sure is fickle these days...

    Best 4.5 and under?
    (Selling Capoue-need cash)

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

      Wait and see what happens with de Roon

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

        He had a good run but didn't start the last game?
        4.3 would suit me perfect too,
        Wally/Cap > Cout/De Roon.

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

          Read the article I think he is the only one

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

        Was he injured ? Not even in the squad

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

          Yea he was and leadbitter back soon too I see.

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

      I went for a 4.3 non-playing. Makes far more sense to me

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

      I have Fletcher, anyone playing and not losing value works.

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

        If i only had 4.3?

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Same

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

      No one nailed. Fletcher, Carrick, Hojbjerg, Leko, Meyler...

    In order to release some cash to in order to improve my team as a whole

    Which two premium players should I downgrade

    Current Team

    Schmeichel Foster

    Bellerin Williams Pieters Francis McAuley

    Sanchez Milner Bolasie Capoue Snodgrass

    Costa Aguero Deeney

    2FTs 0.3 in bank (willing to -8 to get the right players in)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yikes, probably downgrade Costa. As good as he's been doing, you need to upgrade Snod, Bolasie, Capoue

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

      To be honest Im wondering where exactly the money went?

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

        Exactly my thoughts. Looks like there should be 4-5m in the bank.

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

      Is that 0.3m or 3m?

      Your squad looks like it should be 3m.

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

    Foster to Heaton worth a hit? Already own Evans...

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

      No. Not for a hit.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        -4 for a keeper almost always pointless.

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

          its for the long term tho

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

            THen do it next week

      • kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I had two free transfers so I had to do something. Pretty pleased with Foster to Heaton.

      • Pompel
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I say yes. It will be a long term move, and if you don't take the hit, you'll never have the spare FT until he's already at 5.0. THat's supposing you fancy him to outscore Foster by at least 4 points over the rest of the season. West Brom got three plum fixtures GW's 12-14, though

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

      Mata: 100% pass accuracy, 100% take-ons, 100% tackles won, 50 passes, 7 chances created, 6 shots.

      Didn't work out but was a good punt nonetheless. Happy to keep for Swansea.

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He was captain as well!!

        Coutinho>Firmino>Mane>Lallana

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

      A. KDB and Chadli

      Or

      B. Payet and Firmino

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

        B

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

          Tough one. I think KDB is going to rip it up in the coming gameweeks, but doubt he will outscore Payet and Firmino...

          WBrom have good fixtures after next week but Chadli seems to go off the boil too often for me...

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

            I agree re: KDB

            Wouldn't have to be Chadli - would have have 7.2m to spend. Anyone better? Redmond maybe (have Austin)?

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

              Arnautovic, Lallana perhaps?

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

                Not keen on either to be honest

                Lallana isn't one of 'the three' and Arnie will likely get suspended (poor bench)

            2. ***00tennis***
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Siggy/Redmond/Arnie

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

          KDB at home to MID though 😆

    6. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      keep 1 Lallana or Sterling,

      Ive got Gundogan and Cout.

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

        You had gundogan for his haul? 😯 .. Well done. I'd keep sterling

    7. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      52 with Shaqiri and Lu(k)aku to play.

      Will that be about average?

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        38pts is the average at the moment.

      2. TorresMagic™

        Green arrow tonight

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

        The only thing average about that is your players left to play

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What's wrong with Lukaku and Shaqiri?

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

            I meant the number of players

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

        Around 40 with 4 left.

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

        42.3 is top 10k average

      6. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Above, it seems.

    8. Miro
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2FT:
      A) Sterling, Capoue -> Coutinho, Gundogan
      B) Sterling, Walcott -> Sanchez, Gundogan
      C) Ozil, Walcott -> Sanchez, Chadli

      Need to make the transfers tonight :-/

      1. BB-8

      Need help to sort out my back 7!

      Foster Jakupovic
      Williams Vertonghen McAuley Amat Souare

      got 0.8 in the bank and 1 ft

    10. 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?

      The problem is, Im gonna need to take a hit if Wally is injured for the weekend. Decisions, decisions...

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

      Anyone else annoyed that Mustafi hasn't got any attacking points yet? Makes a couple of great long balls every match which are never converted.

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

        More annoyed that his panic attack gifted Sunderland their goal.

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

          That too 🙁

    12. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs next 5 matches , 3 Hard away matches. Arsenal , Chelsea , Utd. Vertonghen out for 5 weeks ? Or keep ?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm probably getting rid. Just need to find out if it's this week or next.

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          This week is better. Arsenal is strong side. Have u plan to get him back after 5 weeks ?

      2. Golden Venture
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        did it this week. 4YC too

        They beat City 2-0

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years

          Without kolarov own goal thry could not

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

            Wouldn't they still have beat them 1-0 and scored a cleanie?

            1. Emiliano Sala
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              No

    13. Numb

      What's the average score on here?

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

        I mean FFS posters not overall or top 10

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

        70....

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

          Really? That high? Thanks for bursting my bubble!

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

        about 60 I would guess

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

          Green arrows for all then

      4. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        42.3455

      5. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Always high because only us people who did well will reveal our score.

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

          True I guess

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

        In the 50's right now.

      7. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        48. Have Redmond, Lukaku and Pieters left.

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

          You misunderstand me....

      8. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        55 i would say

      9. Xhaka Kahn't
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        50 I reckon

    14. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should I take out Walcott for Coutinho ? Rest of the Mids are Sanchez, Firmino, Snoddy, Fletcher

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm kind of thinking the same. Although really need to get rid of Callum Wilson first.

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

        Why everyone getting rid of Walcott?

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

          No idea... Not sure why FRED would get rid of Callum Wilson either?

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

          Owns Sanchez.

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

      Take out rashford for ahmed musa or siliami. Budget is 8.8 million.

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking Musa/Austin myself (£0 ITB). Undecided what to do with Rashford really.

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

            I don't really like the fact that Rashford plays out wide. I need striker that'll bring in points.

            1. MTPockets
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Next week's fixture holding me back, although exact opposite perspective I have about people still holding Ibra.
                Will likely be one of those two, but also watching Walcott and could do with Heaton in for Foster. Only 1 FT though.

        • JIM BOB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Got a couple of dilemmas for a draft league....

          1.) Morgan or Burnley defender?

          2.) Ayew or Chadli?

          N.b - need to think long term ideally.

        • fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Will probably ask this a few times this week. Pick one.

          A) Redmond (hul)
          B) Coutinho (WAT) - 4

          Leaning A.

          1. BB-8
            • 9 Years

              There is the international break to consider too. Coutinho could be rested.

        • smuggs
          • 16 Years

          2 free transfers

          Evening chaps.

          Are you sticking to Walcott? Considering cashing out on him and getting him back GW18. In addition I have to get rid of Valencia.

          Pick - Mandanda

          Valencia - Kos - Pieters - Amat - McAuley

          Sanches - Cout - Walcott - Redmond - Capoue

          Kun - Lukaku - Deeney

          0,2 ITB - 1 FT

          A - Get a Leicester or Chelsea defender for Valencia
          B - Valencia and Walcott --> Morgan + Firmino and a hit
          C - Any other suggestions?

          1. MTPockets

              Transfer Valencia & wait for news on Walcott.

                Can't plan a transfer for GW 18... Too much will change before that. Seems wise to do something about Valencia quickly if money is an issue..

            By the way: CONGRATULATIONS to all John Stones owners! He is truly a bargain.

              Is he injured though? Thought I heard something at the end of the game?

            I got a feeling Kingsley is nailed. Taylor had is chance and failed

            63 with coleman, redmond and lukaku to go and 2fts intact. Lovely.
            Better still most rivals low to high 30s bench boosts, aoa and all sorts going on!! Great gw so far.

              good, so you are happy with Firmino now then ? Keep the Faith ;P

                Yep, if you have someone like Deeney i would think

              Doing well but suddenly have a few issues in my team.

              Foster / Pickford
              Valencia* / Pieters / Smith / Amat / Kingsley
              Sanchez / Walcott* / Son* / Coutinho / Firmino
              Aguero / Lukaku / Diomande*

              1 FT, 0 ITB.

              Guys marked with a * are injury / form / fixture concerns.

              Any suggestions?

              Thanks!

                I would say Son and Valencia are your top priorities. Why is Walcott an issue for everyone? If he plays in CL and pulls through is he still not a great option??

                  Just marked him because of the next two fixtures.

                  Agreed. I can get Redmond + any defender for those two.

                  Or I can get a cheap defender + a mid worth about 8.5.

                  What do you think?

              Cech pick
              Walker Holebas Lovren Daniels Amat
              Sanchez Walcott Mane Allen Capoue
              Aguero Lukaku Benteke

              Any ideas? Have exact money to do Walcott to Coutinho tonight but think that is a bit knee jerky

                I'd go

                Foster pick
                Walker Holebas Lovren Cameron Amat
                Sanchez Son Mane Allen Antonio
                Aguero Lukaku Deeney

                (my team :-p)

                Wait until tomorrow bro.
