The final double Gameweek side take to the pitch in Sunday’s late kick-off, with Crystal Palace making the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Fantasy managers will, of course, be focused on both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke in the Palace attack, with both commanding 144,000+ and 148,000 new Fantasy Premier League owners for Gameweek 34 respectively.

Benteke is skippered by 96214 (2.1%) of his owners as he bids to extend a run of three goals in his last four outings. He’ll face his former club in form, then, with Zaha and Andros Townsend tasked with providing him with the ammunition.

While Sam Allardyce’s side have every motivation to earn a third successive win at Anfield, Liverpool also have every incentive to claim a victory.

Their quest for a top spot and Champions League qualification goes on, with Fantasy managers focused on the efforts and output of Brazilian pair Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Coutinho has been signed by over 34,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 34, with Firmino earning 58,000+ new owners following his run of returns in six consecutive Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Didn't even notice him on the pitch. Another excellent choice picking him over King a few weeks ago

    After a review by Opta, it can be confirmed that Puncheon got the assist for Benteke's second goal #FPL #LIVCRY

      Should just play your own game instead of listening to people on here. I hardly post/visit this site anymore and rank has increased as a result.

      Toby, Vert and Dembele know though. They won't be so naive about Benteke.

      Yep - (C) Tekkers hunting Spurs now 😀

        At least you get to call Mark a liar in person. Said he was going to captain Kane. Wouldn't touch a double player. It's not the first time he has mislead the listeners either 🙂

    Wenger OUT Big Sam IN

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I would actually go for that. A year's contract

    2. timski8000

      Takes bung, gets fired.

    3. Glasner Ball

      hands off! 😀

  15. F4L

    Spurs to destroy a relaxed palace now

  16. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    TM captained Negredo.

    Andy captained Negredo.

    Jonty captained Negredo.

    Mark captained Benteke.

    That's why he gets the big bucks from official FPL.

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Puke

    2. Urchin
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I also captained Benteke,why no payment to me 😉

    3. Hurricane Gilbert

      FPLSTALKER

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You deserve zero points for captaining a Middlesbrough player

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Can't wait for my big bucks in the bank then!:)

    5. Lawrø
      • 13 Years

      Agreed! Class above

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Credit where credit is due.

        I say this as a gutted non-Benteke owner.

    6. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Seriously, posts like this are too much.

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      He created FFS - he should be good at FPL. In the same way a dentist should know how to maintain healthy teeth.

      • leonoflondon

        Yep Mark is the best

      • Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        A classic case of good performance.

        I also captained Benteke 😎

        Hoping Andros can play the role of disgruntled ex-Spurs player now 😉

      • DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mark was the only one on the Scoutcast that said he wouldn't captain a double player. Lol

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Clearly throwing TM off the scent 😀

          1. DeadStarComing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            And all the listeners! I now won't believe a bloody thing he says.

      • d1sable

        I captained Benteke, do i count? =o

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

      2. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I only captained Benteke (C) for the points, anything against Spurs is also points.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I captained him because of Big Fat Sams record against the top teams

          He loves to give them a bloody nose

        2. Jereme Halliday

      Seems like everyone captained benteke or negredo, spare a thought for those of us who captained scores every time against West Ham lukaku and only got 2 points with no possibility of any more

      1. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Should have acknowledged his bad away form

    20. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Just take the two BAPs off of Coutinho now to save the disappointment later!

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Will he not keep them?

    21. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pick a defender for a 1-week pre-WC punt to replace Amat. Can afford any defender in the game. Current lineup is this:

      Davies/Valencia/Gibson/Holgate/Amat

    22. ladsofbunch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good for Benteke owners now. But remember Benteke was brought in for Pool game more than Spurs and Negredo was brought in for Sunderland game more than Bournmouth. Still a long way to go

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hope Negredo also gets 12 points 🙂

      2. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I should really stop complaining about not having Benteke, but he has been the player I've hated the most in FPL this year by a landslide

      3. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, it's fairly even at the moment... 🙄

      4. Zikry
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Think Boro are even capable of scoring 2 goals?
