Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Gameweek 32 concludes at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace – with victories in four of their last five Premier League matches – look to maintain their recent revival against London rivals Arsenal.

Sam Allardyce’s’ Eagles have kept clean sheets in their last two home outings but a shut-out looks unlikely this evening: they face an Arsenal side who have scored in each of their previous twenty matches in the Premier League, with key Fantasy asset Alexis Sanchez a big factor in that statistic.

The Chilean has notched 12 goals and supplied five assists on the road this season – more than any other player – and is backed by 309,000+ or 7% with the captaincy this evening.

He’s supported by an in-form Theo Walcott, with the FPL midfielder boasting goals in back-to-back Gameweeks as he bids to provide us with a cheaper alternative to Sanchez. Impressively, Walcott has scored 18 goals from his last 23 starts in all competitions.

      Hehe.. Sorry guys, not many have him in the top 10k and I'm a Liverpool fan. I'm hoping ArsenalFanTV is a good watch too.

    How is welbeck remaining in cf position 1 goal in 5? Does wenger like this level of consistency

    Alexis is clearly not the better option

      I'm getting mixed signals from you

    Wenger if you keep starting welbeck you're asking to be sacked!

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Stubborn to the bitter end

  9. The Overthinker

    Martinez potentially a 4.0m GW35 WC option? Any word when Cech and Ospina are due back?

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      GW35

  12. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    I fear a bore fest 0-0 or 1-1.

    If no Sanchez goal he's making way for me. He will be my Ibra fund.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Or maybe direct swap with hazard?

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      What if he scores 3 goals, but all 3 are incorrectly ruled out for offside?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        That's the same as not scoring soooo he'd still make way

      2. vectorman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Wonder what the odds are on that? lol.

    Walcott captain - interesting.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Must be the silly season

      Fellaini captained United yesterday

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        They must be just showing us that captaincy is pointless and means absolutely nothing.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 27 days ago

          Do they not know it gets double points?

          1. Epic Fail

    • 7 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Was 1pt behind in ML going into this week. 15pt swing so far, plus whatever Sanchez does tonight...come on you wonderful little winger!

  18. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Multiple sources have Sanchez at Lone Striker... we will see in seconds!!!!!

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Multiple fails

    2. Syd.

    Any chance of Santi returning before the end of the season?

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      no chance what so ever 🙁

      1. FPLtfs

        such a shame. great player

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Nope, they really do miss him badly.

    Alexis playing LB

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Not doing a very good job lol, did you see that challenge on Zaha 😆

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      BBC would want to get their facts right 😉

  21. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Imagine media outlets being wrong above Alexis' positioning... Not like them!

  22. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    No Sanchez for me tonight...first time in a very long time. 17 pts off my bench and Zaha might cover him though.

  23. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Sanchez looks disinterested already

    1. itwaswritten
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Never thought I'd say that but I hope he blanks this week.

  24. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Sanchez looks up for a card 😛

  25. itwaswritten
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    A Crystal Palace 1-0 win would be amazing so Arsenal can go lower and Wenger can get sacked.

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Lol

  26. Individual
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Just want goals. Arsenal victory. But piles of goals.

  27. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Arsenal got into a good position there and just give the ball away

  28. Chucky

    Small comfort to see Sanchez out on the wing as a non-owner .

    Rival has him and he's 20 points ahead off me.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      Small comfort? Thats a big huuuuge comfort!
