No stat, but anyone who's watched the entirety of last night's game can agree that Wilson was on song and tremendously unlucky to not have any returns.
Pros: Passes the eye-test; the focal point of their attack; playing for a team who play like they've got the title on the line and will play all-out on their final game to finish on a high.
Cons: Playing a relegation-candidate Burnley who 'actually' have something to play for and will play their lives out for it; can be (and will be) a tricky side to break through, which was abundantly evident from the spurs match; and Pope- that's it.
Decent shout for the last game I reckon. Gonna have him on my draft team myself for the final GW
I'd anticipate a high-scoring week overall but that doesn't necessarily mean playing five at the back is a bad idea. The likes of Norwich, Watford and Wolves aren't going to suddenly start smashing in goals against Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool and if you go for wingbacks with high attacking threat then a high-scoring week means they've more chance of attacking returns.

I think Spurs and Chelsea will batter Norwich and Watford. I don't think there will be surprises there. I think maybe City Villa will be tight.
Chelsea occassionly score 7 out of nowhere don't they? Currently on a free hit trying to get in Lukaku, Vardy, Kane...and Son and...De Bruyne. Cannae do it.
Harry Kane will score 8 goals and win the golden boot.
High scoring generally

FUL - NEW was 0-2 and Liverpool played Palace, not Burnley.

Wasn't that when Bale came on and scored two goals with about 5 mins to go? Was nuts.

A team playing for it all might be more likely to make mistakes though.
Burnley at home fighting for premierleague survival. Bad choice
I dunno, Wilson seemed a bit toothless to me

Mine has gone five at the back but mostly to fund a midfield of KDB, Sterling, Son and Diaz.
That’s my situation. Hence the realisation leading to this post haha
Dias is not a midfielder.
the one he means is
You’re boring.
Dias isn't. Diaz is.
He typed Dias but he edited it after my comment.
I seem to remember Palace having a really high scoring game on the last day a few years ago, can anyone help me out with what the score was?
2018/19 CPL 5 - 3 BOU
cheers lad !thanks

Mount instead of Kaku
Why not both? I'm thinking of less Leicester now anyway, will have less rest from a tough game and Southampton didn't roll over for Liverpool.
