Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs West Ham

We head to Selhurst Park for Saturday’s final fixture as Palace and West Ham’s dodgy defences go head-to-head.

Christian Benteke warmed up for this one with a midweek hat-trick against Gibraltar and will fancy his chances against a rearguard that conceded more goals than any other over the first seven.

Subject of a recent members article, the in-form Dimitri Payet has racked up a goal and four assists in four starts for the visitors and chipped in with a goal and assist for France over the break.

Michail Antonio has netted in each of his last two away outings – at Man City and West Brom – suggesting he could punish his recent batch of sellers against a Palace backline that’s yet to keep a clean sheet.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    How the hell is Walcott only on 1 bonus point?

      He was due 2 until he missed the last sitter.

      His missed sitter at the last minute cost me 14 points

        He's got to have achieved Major Hindsight first

    What do you actually have to do in order to win some decent cash on Draft Kings?

    Got Smith, Walcott, Wilson and Stanislas combining for something stupid like 4 assists and 5 goals, and I'm set to win $6 from $3... :/

    Payet & Adrian to play

    Antonio RB?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not according to live scores

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        What about in reality?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Looks like a back three with Antonio as a wingback

          1. Costa's Counsellor
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers WR.

            Not ideal.

    Haha, just home from long journey listening on the radio. Wish I had been on when Aguero got the pen, I bet it was crazy 😀 really unlucky for the minus score cappers

    Pardew had Aguero (c) by the look of that article picture... http://d1bfnpscahnssj.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pardew1110-1440x550.jpg

      Hopefully he'll reward those who's taken the price drop.

  14. HurriKane
    • 11 Years

    Some very nice budget options emerging this gw. Who are you looking to get in?

    Stanislas 5.5

    Chadli 6.5

    Allen 4.8

    Wilson 6.4

    1. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Stanislav's threat etc stats look rubbish.

      I'm thinking Allen -- some call him the Welsh Pele, I call him the Welsh Allen

  15. Live Lad

    I want to bring in Walcott tonight. Which one should I do? Second transfer can come later during the week.

    Snoddy, Antonio, Sterling, Firmino, Capoue, Have 3.8 itb. Spared all the cash for mid.

    (1) Sterling + Antonio to Sanchez + Walcott (-4)
    (2) Antonio + Snoddy to Walcott + Coutinho (-4)
    (3) Antonio / Snoddy to Walcott (free)

    Thanks!

      3 then 1

      Similar situation here. I'm thinking 1.

  16. Granville

    I would dream of saying '43 points with 5 to play. Any good?'

    No player scored lower than Aguero this week. Lol.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Essential.
      Always captain Kun.

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Hi lads
    Is Antonio and snot grass to wally and Allen for free too knee jerky.

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think so

  20. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Not surprised with Walcott baps score so low. 'Missed chances and offsides.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      People don't realise that the system takes these things into consideration though.

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Marking shots off the bar and off the post as shots off target is ridiculous though. I know this is how the system works but it is plain stupid.

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Aye maybe, but it is transparent, yet it still surprises people every week.

        2. Brap.
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Was he aiming to hit the woodwork?

        3. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Well the woodwork is off target..

  21. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 6 months ago

    All of these Aguero owners moaning - Shut up, sh*t happens. Sell him then. I hope a few do because theres no way hes leaving my side with that run. Admittedly, pens is a worry though.

    Pep won't be benching him again any time soon.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      The funny thing is they are moaning about the most popular player in fantasy.

      Not a differential or something...

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm glad he missed the pen despite getting him this week

    3. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      To be fair captaining him or Sanchez was very risky this week. I'll captain Kun next time though no worries.

  22. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Payet(C) to decide the fate of my season 🙁 🙂

  23. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Sigh...

    What would you rather do?? I need this cash to get Wally in.
    1. Baines -> Smith
    2. PVA -> Pieters (already have Grant in goals)

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cut your losses with Baines.

  27. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Normally I would've captained Aguero but long trip and an injury got me concerned.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, precisely. Also factor in Barcelona midweek and even th Koeman factor, was always going to be a tough game.

    2. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Him or Sanchez was very risky this week. Costa or Benteke were the standouts for me.
