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.

    Any reason why I shouldn't do Sterling -> Coutinho tonight, if I have 2FTs and no pressing issues? (Also got Firmino)

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

      Yeah I would do it

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

      I did it last night, he's a must at the minute.

      Fixtures apparently. If you want to do it should be before this gameweek.

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool fixtures are still very good.

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you have Firmino I'd keep Sterling. Look a City's next 3 fixtures and after today they're back in scoring form

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

        This.

      2. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kun looks like enough cover now and Coutinho just keeps scoring and assisting

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

    Good day for the gameweek today. Only regret is switching armband from Kun to Coutinho right before deadline. Off to bed. See you folks tomorrow.

    Can someone please tell me the top 10k ownership for zlatan, I cannot find this info on fpl discovery, do you have to sign up?

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

    Austin is nailed right? Is it likely that he will play against Inter?

  5. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hold Walcott or sell?

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

      Wait for news.

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

      Wait and see

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

      50/50 for me. Could really improve the defense if I sell for Redmond

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      But Firmino will rise and after that i cant afford him

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

        If its for Firmino, I would do it. He'll score more than Walcott IMO.

  6. Syd.

    How long is Valencia out for?

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

      The fans' favourite has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign but he will now miss the next few weeks of action
      https://www.clubcall.com/manchester-united/valencia-set-for-spell-on-sidelines-1829648.html?

      Nobody knows for sure how long yet

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

        Cheers........ My defence has been a right mess this season

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

          Who are you thinking of as a replacement ? . I am hoping Cedric is close to a return .

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

    Which 2 would you prioritize getting in next week?

    A) Fuchs
    B) Heaton (Pickford/Jaku ATM)
    C) Austin
    D) Redmond

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

      Depends on who you're replacing.
      A for me.

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

        A) Clyne
        B) Jaku
        C) Deeney
        D) Walcott

        A C or D is one FT. B I can't do without selling Walcott

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

      B and C

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

        0,1 off of doing this, just realized 🙁 Can only get Heaton by selling Walcott

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

      A & C

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

        Cheers, think this will be it. Pickford had bou so not the worse fixture in the world

  8. Uncle Avram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the opinion on Lallana he hasnt done anything in a while I already have Cout was thinkinh getting rid of Lallana for Chadli

    1. sergioaguero67
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hold

  9. sergioaguero67
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is a Liverpool midfield triple up needed now?
    Seeing their wicked upcoming fixtures?

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

      3 is overkill.

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

        I disagree, they are scoring loads of goals and have done so against the better sides in the league, they now have a great run and are right up there challenging. Nothing wrong with it imho. Just be prepared for a rough week if they cant get past the odd bus they will inevitably come up against. I do think though that it might be a shrewd tactic irrespective of what other people may think. I am considering this seriously myself

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Triple is a bit much. Double maybe. This is what I am considering. I have Firmino and I want Mane too I think

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

    Is musa nailed?

  11. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Where does Gundogen play?

    1. Stephen Ireland
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Manchester City

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

      Man City

      CM

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

    Early ideas on this lot?

    Pickford Jaku
    Walker Lovren Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Sterling Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney

    1 FT, 0.1 in bank

    Deeney out looks the obvious move? GK is an issue that needs sorting soon.

    Cheers

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i think i'll be doing deeney to austin soon so yep that.

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

      Deeney > Austin.

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

      Deeney has decent fixtures coming up. Would keep

    4. Jay_
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Deeney to Austin conveniently leaves you the exact cash for Heaton

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

          0.1 short I think.

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Didn't earn out of the Deeney rise last night?

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

                Nope 🙁

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

          Are there any better alternatives to Deeney though?
          Austin may not be nailed(rumours).
          Musa seems the best option in terms of fixtures.
          Rest are terrible.
          Perhaps save and keep 2FTs over the break?

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

            Who says Austin not nailed?

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

              Been a popular discussion this week woth Boufal starting midweek.

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

          Deeney to Austin?

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

          I would take the opp to sort the keepers now

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

            Yeah, nearly an instant boost.

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

          Deeney > Austin for me

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

          Cheers all, guess I'll see if any injuries happen midweek before deciding.

        7. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling out for a cheaper mid (various options such as Siggy, Arnie etc.)

          Then with the money...........

          New keeper (Butland back soon or Heaton/Foster).

          Deeney out for Wilson or Austin

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

            -8?

            1. The Big Fella
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              No way. Butland isn't even back until after the break. I'd personally do Deeney to Austin. Southampton have Hull next match. If you really fancied a -4, I'd shift Sterling out too as he is playing, as far as I can tell, wing back now. Even with Borough fr the next match I am not sure he would be worth keeping if played there (a la Antonio at WHU).

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

          Deeney to Austin

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

        C&a

      • willl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Giroud a good option?

        Can afford Deeney to 9.7 if I do Son to Redmond.

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

          I'd wait and see if he comes straight back into the XI. It could well be that Wenger sticks to Walcott/Ozil/Iwobi/Sanchez. However, if Giroud does start regularly, he'd be a great option IMO.

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

          He won't play like that every week.

      • Flynny
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hi.....2 questions...

        Who to dispose of first?

        Deeney or benteke?

        Who is the best non arsenal defender to invest in...cost no issue..

        Thanks

      • Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why did callum Wilson play 59 minutes?

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

          Because he was terrible.

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

          Great question would love an answer. He does get subbed routinely but usually plays 80. Might be tactical?

          Hope he isn't falling out of favour as have a nice fixture coming this week.

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

        Morgan or Fuchs? and why?

        Trying to decide if the premium is worth the difference in production or not. Pretty similar numbers.

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

          Fuchs Does well in BAPs

      • Baked baines
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho no BPS but Henderson and Moreno have. Do me a favour!!!!!!

        1. TOPCAT1960
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yep it does...couts was incisive in the first half and ran the show. I was willing him to score second half.....that would have sealed it IMO

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

            Mane, Coutinho and Firmino could all have racked up so many more points today! Seriously, they wasted tons of really great chances, though Palace were truly awful and pretty much didn't defend at all, lol.

            Glad I brought in Coutinho this week. Doubling up on Liverpool assets is already paying off for me.

      • jurgenklopp.8

        i benched lovren but i don't care! you croatian god!!!

        1. HellasLEAF

          this. Lovren ftw

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

          Nothing wrong with bench points. Means you have the right players. 😉

          Now if only Liverpool would start improving defensively...

      • HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That Lovren goal is just lovely.

        And the Couts/Firm double actually worked. Really hemmed and hawed before taking Sterling out.

        65 with 3 to go!

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

        Early days but Lukaku & Walcott to Austin & Firmino (have Coutinho) for -4?

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

          No way Lukaku is a season keeper for me atm

          1. Blue Bombers CFC
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Considering similar, not keen on Everton fixtures, plus over the last 4 games they've only scored 3 goals, only issue is, if they do score lukakus normally involved, I've still got Costa which seems a differential looking at the teams around here so quiet like the idea of kep ping him instead

      • Syd.

          Man U have scored 1 goal in October...

          Surely this poor run can't continue?

          Tempted to punt on Mata/Lingard, is it too much of a risk?
