Fantasy interest minimal as relegation-threatened Villa face crucial Palace clash

It’s not quite last-chance saloon territory for Aston Villa but, seven points adrift of safety and with only four matches remaining, a victory over Crystal Palace is surely a must this afternoon if they want to keep their slim chances of avoiding relegation alive.

Kick-off at Villa Park is at 14:15 BST.

Both managers originally made one change apiece from the sides they sent out in Gameweek 34+ but an injury to Kortney Hause (£4.4m) in the warm-up has seen Ahmed Elmohamady (£4.1m) replace him.

Dean Smith has also recalled Conor Hourihane (£5.7m) to the Villa midfield, with Anwar El Ghazi (£5.3m) dropping to the bench.

That should see Jack Grealish (£6.0m) move to a more advanced position down the left of the hosts’ attack.

Keinan Davis (£4.3m) is only among the substitutes, as is the fit-again Matt Targett (£4.3m).

Pepe Reina (£4.2m) recovers from a hamstring strain to start.

Roy Hodgson’s one alteration is an enforced one.

Gary Cahill (£4.4m) looks set to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, so Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) gets the nod to replace him at centre-half.

Budget FPL defender Martin Kelly (£4.1m) is back on the bench after recovering from a calf problem.

It’s fair to say interest is limited in this one from a Fantasy perspective.

Grealish is the only player in either starting XI who has a double-digit ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

‘Ghost teams’ will account for some of that ownership and, if we instead look at the top 10,000 in FPL, not a single player from either Villa or Palace is owned by more than 3%.

Grealish’s ownership within this elite group is only at 2.13%.

Nine of Palace’s ten clean sheets this season have come against sides in the bottom half.

The Villans have scored just twice in their last eight Premier League matches.


Aston Villa XI: Reina, Elmohamady, Konsa, Mings, Taylor, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Hourihane, Trezeguet, Samatta, Grealish.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Dann, Sakho, van Aanholt, Zaha, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Ayew, Benteke.

    Can they just stop this game and deduct 3points from both teams?
    And ban this referee team for next 10 games at the same time

    Maybe time to look to play in a league that does add bonus or has any captains. Perhaps only allow a chip to be played in a single GW. Try and make the game as pure as possible.

        no fkc me, they look useless. Digne is wasted out of position. Rich looks like someone who has been circumcised an hr before the game...pickford...well...I think my labrador is a better keeper.

      Been sitting on my bench scratching his arse for a while. Funds just aren't an issue anymore with Greenwood and Ings...

      Who are you thinking? Giroud?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I dunno he is on shortlist. I also have Deeney to deal with.

    3. TheDragon

      Honestly I finally got rid of him this week and feels so good.

      He has single handedly ruined my season post restart

          Mark is quality

          He has just gone super non template this year and it’s not worked out - another year he’d be top 100

  5. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years

    Doherty+Jimenez to Boly+Jesus for free?
    Would mean no Chelsea attack in my team

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      Looks good

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Doherty cs against Burnley surely.

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years

        Doherty to Boly. Both wolves defenders

  6. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Non-Grealish Villa goal to ruin PVA CS would be good.

  7. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Need to close ML gap. (Already did TAA & Nketiah to VVD & Jesus for -4 hit)

    DDG (Martin)
    VVD, Saiss, Holgate (Kiko, Lascelles)
    Kdb, Willian, MANE, Bruno (Saka)
    Kane, Greenwood, Jesus (c)

    Big risk time. for - 8 hit, Mane to bring in one of these TC options:

    A) Sterling
    B) Pulisic
    C) Salah

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Taking hits widens the gap, it doesn't close it

    2. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for leaked lineups and if pulisic starts it could wprk out otherwise dont take the hit imo

  8. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Had kdb, foden and mahrez since gw34 WC, before which I had kdb and foden. Do you just stick with it and count yourself unlucky or -4/8 to get the ones generating the returns - i.e. jesus, da silva and sterling. Can’t tell if I’ve made a bad call or just been unlucky.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have the same combo. City are smashing teams. Our turn will come

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good to hear. Frustrating! If I do nothing (which I know I should do as my WC was well thought through) then I might save up 2 FTs and some money so I can at least bring in any midfield combo in the last GW (assuming we find out who is playing).

  9. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years

    Vardy and Auba blank, and top 10K would be secured for tonight.

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      only 800 in top 10k owns Auba

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nice. Where you at Tina?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          struggling outside top 10k. Salah killed me last wk.

          15 pts outside 10k OR

          DDG, Vardy, Saka, Bruno(c) to go

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Salah killed me this week. Did Mahrez-> Salah for a hit.

            You looking to get Salah or going without?

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years

  10. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years

    Walker Jimenez —> Egan Jesus (free)?

    Have KDB and Sterling

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably better off transferring those two out this game week.

      Sterling and KdB rested/benched.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Always difficult to predict...

        I would say both should get minutes - either start and get 60 min, or be benched and get 20 / 30.

        I do not feel very comfortable selling KDB or Sterling before BOU tbh

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Pep has said he is making 5 or 6 changes.

          I suspect it's the attacking players.

          This one is simple to see.

            Thx for the info mate

          2. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Which means what? Fullbacks, maybe both cb, dilva and gundogan in midfield? Who knows?

            1. Pipermaru
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              My bet is Laporte, Walker, KDB are most likely to miss out BOU, then probably Mahrez.

  11. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is anyone else considering selling TAA and going without Liverpool assets?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      maybe me

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      On FH maybe.

    3. Kroneek
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Will still have Salah. Really just unsure who to replace TAA with. Not like Chelsea defence is smashing it. ARS v LIV always entertaining - if TAA starts, he can score some points.

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sold this week to fund Salah. Think I will keep Salah now until the end.

    5. Shankly611
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      TAA has now been my only LFC for two gameweeks. Won't sell him as I have more important transfers to do, but I don't think it will be a huge mistake if you sell him, especially if you use the funds right.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Aren't you using Free Hit chip?

        2. Shankly611
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I am, but I'm talking about the last two gameweeks. He'll stay in my team until the end.

  12. Shankly611

    FH team

    Ederson
    TAA Azpi Digne
    DSilva Foden Pulisic Willian Antonio
    Ings Greenwood

    Good for now? If it becomes more certain that Jesus/Sterling start, I could buy them

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like it.

      I'm similar at the moment.

      Fancy TAA to do well again? Away at Arsenal... Could do.

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Dilva and Foden are tempting but I reckon Sterling KDB start

    Pulisic or Willian (C) next GW?

    1. Almathkourq8
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Willian

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      After last night I can’t trust either with it.

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Its norwich.

        You wouldn't have trusted Antonio with it. Take a risk.

    3. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic.

    4. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic if I had to choose

      They were so bad against Sheff Utd though. Also I’m concerned that Pulisic came off so early, what was that?

  15. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Trezeguet G

  16. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus or Ings for the last 3 gameweeks?

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

      Jesus

    2. Almathkourq8
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Both, with Jimi to Jesus for me.

    4. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus for me. Think there’s a lot more upside. Ings safer

    5. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ideally both.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can only have one honestly.
        I'm keeping faith in Rashford till GW37 and got 5 midfielders.

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          In that case Ings. Jesus is due a rest.

    1. V-2 Schneiderlin

        Thank you

    2. Shankly611
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB is almost certain to benched, as well as Lapote. Salah isn't the best option this GW. Also, I think there are better options than Richarlison. Foden and DSilva should be sure starters, and one of Jesus/Sterling.

      1. Almathkourq8
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well Salah always scores against London teams and he is going for the golden boots

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not convinced KdB gets any minutes unless his colleagues can't beat Bournemouth at home.

      1. Almathkourq8
        • 4 Years

  22. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Grealish not really celebrating there. Wonder does he secretly want them to go down so as he has a good excuse to leave.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Think it's more they've given up plenty of leads and they're still in the relegation zone even with a win today

      • diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's too good for Villa. Even if they stay up he should put in a transfer request.

      • potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Surely playing for Villa is good enough reason in itself 🙂

      • MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No reason to celebrate they propably going down

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tempted by 2 FT’s Rashford & Guendozi > Whichever Chelsea striker starts (need a leak) + Foden...

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Benching headache after that?

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, and a massive one at that

            - Would need to bench Jimmy GW36
            - Do GRU > Greenwood GW37 & Bench one of the city lads (Raz, Kev, Phil)
            - Then probably bench Greenwood or Martial GW38 (Foden > Dilva Triple Captain for NOR!)

        • Shankly611
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Definitely do it.

        • Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Although, Chelsea have a juicy fixture I wouldn’t know what to do with their assets for the last two games. I’m therefore missing out on them completely. I am expecting big scores from Rashford in upcoming fixtures so wouldn’t want to lose him.

          I trust your judgement and have included a question in one of your posts earlier. If you could take a look that would be appreciated 🙂

          1. Vazza
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Foden is a good pick though..

            Think kdb will be benched next game?

              Minutes will be managed. Whereas Arsenal will field a weaker lineup with FA cup in mind.

                Makes sense, cheers

            Salah due a rest though surely

            Same here, any suggestions for a replacement ?

              Im hesitating between doherty/aurier

                  I removed him. Also on FH. No Pool. Difficult, but juicier fixtures.
                  But either way, everton doesnt look good atm and nothing to play for. I would go for more attacking team at least.

                      Sure. Probably will change a few times but,

                        Looks good. Keep hearing that kdb Might be benched this gw so not sure about him, rest looks solid.

        Who do you think is more likely to start for City vs. BOU, Sterling or Jesus?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Doesn't look like either will start but can see both off the bench

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Question is who plays upfront if there is no Jesus or Sterling false 9?

                Exactly!

          • Coys96
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Jesus. He came off early.

            They need someone up top don't they!

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 8 months ago

                It's Pep, he can put anyone up there probably Gundogan

                1. Coys96
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  True, but I cant see him doing that.

                  1. @persecuted_by_mods
                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      He's done so before I'm sure of it

                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                I think both will start

                1. ryacoo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Pep has been managing their minutes well lately - Sterl only just had the last game off and Jesus always comes off early.

                    No way! KDB started the last two matches and they have a much more important FA Cup semi-final this weekend! Guardiola will rest him.

                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      KDB only played 63 mins and only 31 vs Saints - would be really shocked to see him get less than 60 vs BOU personally

                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                I think Jesus starts 60 minutes and Sterling on for 30

              Is it worth a hit to get pulisic in?

                • 12 Years

                If you captain then probably...

                • 13 Years

                depends who you’re selling - but Chelsea players should do well, with plenty to play for - so maybe,..

                Not for a hit.

                Yes.

            3. Coys96
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Salah, Mahrez, Jimenez, Gayle

              >>>

              Pulisic (C), D.Silva, G.Jesus, Ings

              (-8)

              Thoughts?

                Maybe 3 for a -4. Dont think Dilva is worth it.

              What's Jesus's ownership in the Top 10k/100k?

                7.1% of the Top 10k owned him for Brighton.

              Mahrez. Sterling. Antonio. Pulisic. Bruno
              Vardy. Jesus. Ings

                Oh dear.

                Antonio if you think Mahrez does well?...

                Enjoy the headache.

                Bench Vardy (or guess the City rotation)
                Cap Pulisic

              I’m a little surprised so many know ManC lineups. Instead of stating Sterling, KdB, Mahrez or Jesus won’t start, perhaps a little reasoning why you think so.

              My only way to get Pulisic is to gamble on Peps rotation and sell KdB. Don’t know if it is worth it. What do you think?

                Fresh legs and FA Cup.

                • 12 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                If I were to guess, KDB and Jesus get another 60 because they were rested.

                I have no clue about Sterling and Mahrez...

                1. Firminooooo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  KdB with 60 min against Bournemouth would be amazing. I think I will just have to pray Pulisic don’t haul.

              3. @persecuted_by_mods
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  What do you want people to say, everyone's guessing based on minutes and cup competitions. The one constant is it doesn't matter if they're benched as they'll still get decent minutes.

                  I think KDB doesn't start Vs Bournemouth and comes on for 25-30 you decide whether he's worth keeping or getting puli

                • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  It's exactly what you said - a gamble

                  One that could work, or that could fail

                  Anyone who tells you they know for sure is mental... Personally id find it very difficult to sell KDB - not necessarily because I think he's going to do unbelievably well over the last 3 (although I do think he's got returns left in him yet)...

                  But more because the frustration of selling him before a haul would DWARF the frustration of keeping him for 3 Blanks

                  Sometimes it's a frustration mitigation game we have to play 🙂

                  But it could work, no doubt

                  From the restart I've mostly guessed the MCI lineup correctly up to now (Foden this week was a notable exception). I've got no clue for GW36+ though. None.
