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.

      451k OK'ish. Happy with Sanchez+Cout+Kun, but seems I missed out on a lot of CS points , and no Heaton

    6. Pompel

      Seems a lot of FFS'ers to climb the OR tonight

    9. Stokelona
      • 9 Years

      346,000 for me but I have Bony, Pieters, Bolasie, and Lukaku (C) to come!

    10. Virgil Hilts
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      30k up to 17k

      Pieters & Lukaka to come, plus 3 points Capoue coming in for Walcott.

      A good week come what may.

  2. HurriKane

    KDB last season.- 7 goals and 10 assists in 25 matches

    KDB this season - 3 goals 7 assists in 9 matches

    I think when fit KDB is a must have. Thoughts ?

    1. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's difficult to have a balance with 2 of Hazard, Sanchez and De Bruyne, who I think will be the 3 top scoring mids this year.

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

        i could afford this attack. thoughts?

        Heaton Jak
        Morgan Valencia Pieters (Holebas Evans)
        Sanchez KDB Coutinho Redmond Capoue
        Kun Lukaku Austin

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

          Looks pretty sick, only question mark is the Saints double up but it could pay off with Hull (H) next. Valencia is injured though, potentially for a while, I would check and maybe bring in a Liverpool or Spurs defender

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

            *Hull (A)

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

      Yep. Totally agree but with Sanchez, pool mids and possibly hazard back on home form you just can't have them all.

    3. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agree but am fully spent with other players doing well so no rush

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think KDB has been priced out of the game unfortunately - Aguero is a must have, and at 13.0m he will nearly always be captain - Sterling & gundogan can get returns from citys midfield for a fraction of the price of KDB.

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

        Spot on

    5. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i've been saving up for him for a while now. wanted in for redmond and had to wait, and it's worked out well in the meantime for me.

      but yeah he's clearly a very very good option. think i'll go for it, either for son or redmond

  3. Mr-Inbetween
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Having a disaster with this lot, only 26 so far!

    Foster / Pickford
    Valencia / Williams / Evans / Pieters / Amat
    Sterling / Firmino / Walcott / Antonio / Rodwell
    Aguero / Costa / Lukaku
    2FT 0.1 ITB

    Plenty of changes needed but thinking to start with Sterling + Valencia > Coutinho + Lovren as looking like Cout will rise tonight, what you guys think?

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

      2 frees go for it. Good changes

      1. Mr-Inbetween
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, i'm half tempted to do Antonio + Williams > Chadli + Alonso too, but need to first see how they get on tomorrow and -8 is a big one

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

          Yep eyeing up alonso myself for Williams.

  4. John t penguin
    • 11 Years

    Should I sell aguero this week?
    All advice welcome

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      100% he's not very good.

    2. Syd.

      One week too late

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Only if it's for a hit.

    4. Mr-Inbetween
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely, no hat trick today, he's got to go

    5. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      13 mil is too much for an out of form player

  5. mir
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lallana or Walcott out for Coutinho? Have Sanchez.
    Just can't decide.

    1. rocky7st
      • 12 Years

      Walcott

        Cheers all. Thats pretty unanimous.

          • 15 Years

          But they are all wrong 😉

  6. istanbul05

    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 guys

    1. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could have them both :p

      Probably just A

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

      I have my doubts over Gundo. So A for me and maybe Huth or Morgan instead.

  7. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Better get my ladder out in prep for overall rank coming then

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

    Need opinions:

    A: Son, Benteke -> Cout, Austin
    B: Walcott, Benteke -> Cout, Austin
    C: Son, Walcott, Benteke -> Cout, Chadli, Austin
    D: Son, Walcott -> Cout, Chadli

    Or wait for more news and swallow the price changes?

    1. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you could just do Son > Cout until you see how SOT play tomorrow that would be ideal

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

        That would be great, sadly, I cant.

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

      A and take hits if needed

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

    Pick, jaku,
    Walker, williams, pieters, Kelly, Amat,
    Sanchez, wally, sterling, firm, carrick
    Luk, Kun, deeney

    2ft
    Williams and sterling to Morgan and cout?

    Can only do tonight as have no spare cash

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

      Would sell Wally instead of Sterling. Play the fixtures

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

        Would love to but leaves me 4.6 for def to swap for williams, wanted holebas (4.7)

    2. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling + Deeney > Cout + Austin?

  10. John t penguin

    Blo*dy jammy ML leader had heaton, blind and then me off bench
    Who gets double burnley defence away to United, honestly who

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

    Any Suggestions?

    Grant, Pickford
    Kosc, Vertonghen, Holebas, Pieters, Kingsley
    Firmino, Coutinho, Sanchez, Redmond, de Roon
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    1FT, 0 ITB

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond > Gundogan for the lolz

  12. Shakshuka
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton (Foster)
    Clyne Stones Amat (Evans Friend)
    Sanchez Firmino Walcott Siggy (Capoue)
    Kun Kaku Wilson

    Can do Walcott + Capoue - > Coutinho + De Roon / 4.3 for free? Need to do it before pricechanges, go for it? Thanks

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

    First decent return from Stones, just when I'd almost binned him off to my reserves.

    Free advice folks, go with your gut instinct. Seriously.

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

    Heaton won't rise tonight, right?

    1. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to tell nowadays

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

    Bellerin, Sanchez and Walcott too Arsenal heavy for the next fixtures? No other concerns in my team

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

    Nolito must have some sort of death wish 😆

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

    Walcott to Coutinho good move? Even though fit then Giroud back, Cout very hot and with better fixtures. Cout rising also...

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

      Yup, do it
      Giroud being back just means points more spread out, Cout looking top class

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

      Mane or Firminio.... ?

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

    Valencia > Fuchs done
    Fuchs > Chelsea gw15/16
    Sound plan??

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

      Yep

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

    Obviously depends on what happens tomorrow but which looks better for now?

    A. Son -> Redmond/Gundogan
    B. Son Lukaku -> KdB Austin -4

  20. New Post
  21. Arsenal USA FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra/Sterling -> Aguero and who under 6.6?

  22. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best FT:
    already have firm
    1 sterling > cout
    2 deeney > austin

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

      2 for me. Sterling worth keeping for a home game against Boro.

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

        +1

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

    Maybe was a mistake to keep Walcott over Coutinho. Worth a hit to get Cout in now?

    A) Bellerin + Walcott > Fuchs + Coutinho (-4)
    B) Bellerin > Fuchs (FT)
    C) Save FT

    Team has some terrible fixtures next week:
    Pickford
    Bellerin, McAuley, Holebas
    Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Sigurdsson
    Aguero (C), Lukaku, Austin

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

      If your doing b you may aswell just do a
      Bellerin should be a season keeper imo as he's got attacking potential. At home to Spurs isn't a bad fixture for Bellerin and Sanchez, pretty good actually
      I've got all four from a)

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

    Mane or Firminio?

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

      Firmino

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

        +1

  25. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What's your thoughts on this mini wildcard for a minus four?
    Cech to Heaton
    Valencia to Alonso
    Walcott to Coutinho

    Heaton. Pickford
    Alonso. Evans. Holebas. Smith. Amat.
    Sterling. Coutinho. Firmino. Sanchez. Capoue.
    Aguero. Deeney. Benteke

  26. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think Walcott will remain in starting 11?

  27. Humlesnurr
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why is everyone selling wally? He is in great form, and was praised as essential 2 GW ago. Will he be rotated now when giroud is back? Fixturewise i think only next GW is hard away vs spurs, but he might gain points vs a injury prone ManU.

    Personally im more concerned by sterlings falling form.. thoughts? How did sterling look today?

    Im about to do sterling/walcott + deeney -> austin + cout..

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

      Im keeping

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

      Tempted to do the same. Wally has been to dangerous to bench

  28. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    34(-8) with 5 to go including Lukaku (c) ... Red arrow from 3k to 17k

    Is the -8 included in that new OR rank guys ? .. or is it yet to be included at the end of the GW ?

  29. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    73 with Arnie and Williams to go. Finally a good GW again.

  30. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How did Sterling look today? Worth keeping?
