Dugout Discussion

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.

    Can just afford this.... just don't want to walk into a disaster

    Anichebe, Sanchez, Davies ----> Kane, Zaha, Holgate (-4)

    Thoughts?

    My thoughts are:
    Anichebe - Not going to set the world on fire with a poor Sunderland side
    Sanchez - largely anonymous tonight. A few good chances but far too deep on the left
    Davies - I need to get rid of him if I want Kane as I have Alli and Eriksen.

    Kane - Obvious form striker and on fire on his day
    Zaha - DGW and looking dangerous
    Holgate - Cheap and the only 4.0m who actually looks like he will play!

      Good moves.

    Guys,

    Thoughts on this for a -4
    I have alli, is 3 spurs overkill ?
    maybe sanchez > zaha ?

    sanchez > son
    rondon > kane

    Tnks

    1. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Still not convinced Son starts next game

  3. Loker Joker
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you drop for Zaha?
    a) Sterling
    b) Siggy

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Player out of form.

      1. Loker Joker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling is still alright I guess..any advice on which one to drop?

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering the same

    3. Rossendale Rover
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I dropped Sanchez last week for Zaha purely to save some money for a big hitter (Kun). I think it paid off too...

      1. Loker Joker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        nice one.. thinking of doing this to accommodate kane transfer this week. any advice on which one to drop? Sterling or Siggy?

        1. Rossendale Rover
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Id drop Siggy for sure. Sterlings form is on the up and City have some great fixtures to come. Sterling or Sane coming in for me soon.

    4. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Typical form v fixtures conundrum

  4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Where to from here?

    Heaton
    Valencia / Davies / Alonso
    Sanchez / Alli / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Kun / Lukaku / Origi

    Jakupovic / Stephens / Maguire / T. Carroll

    2ft, .5itb, WC and BB available

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Origi to Negredo, Maguire to Chambers

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't want Negredo in my team. Even if he had a triple gameweek.

  5. Visionaries
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I want to keep Sanchez given his next 2 fixtures, I also want Kane. The best way to get him in is this.

    Sanchez, Alli, King, Eriksen*
    Lukaku, Ibra, Carroll*

    Eriksen, Carroll -> De Roon (dgw soon), Kane

    Would you do that?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who is your fifth mid?

      1. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Tom Davies (Burnley home)

        1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Davies and de roon a bit week. Do you alreasy have 3 spurs hence need to sell erik?

          1. Visionaries
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, have Ben Davies. De Roons dgw is B'mouth, Sunderland

      2. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. Assume hes playable?

    2. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa

      Looks great

      1. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ta

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd dump Sanchez, it's just not working, Eriksen is.

      1. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Middlesbrough next though, they're a different kind of awful

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          We said that about WBA and CPL mate, Wenger can make MID look great, it's his parting gift 😆

      De Roon was dropped at the weekend....

      1. Visionaries
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        oh was he? that changes things

  6. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha was an absolute beauty tonight. Has sent me top in 4 out of five mini leagues i play as was real differential.

    One league to go and the bloke im chasing is 2200 in the world. Im 40 odd points behind.

    Who is the next differential......???

    1. Rossendale Rover
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Negredo

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Townsend 🙂

  7. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take some punt for Sanchez as I will use WC in GW 35?

    Thinking about Arnie

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see MUN keeping CHE out, Haz the natural replacement?

    2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Punt for a DGW player then?
      Pogba or Mkhi or Townsend

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Will get Zaha..don't like Utd options and doubling up on Palace is risky. So single gw players 🙂

  8. La vida FPL

    Does anyone know when the dgwk 37 will be announced?

    Is it best to wc this week? In prep for bench boost next?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Should have been announced already.

  9. Chicken-Mandy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    In gw17 I was 143 points behind the leader in my mini league. in gw18 i switched to 3-5-2 and haven't looked back since.
    Zaha's points today now see me 5 points ahead of the former leader. Absolutely buzzing!

    1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Great comeback. Dont lose the focus now!

  10. Kun Tozser

    Sanchez > Zaha - crazy or not?

    1. Rossendale Rover
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did it last week

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

  11. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Valdes Pickford
    Bailly Stones vert Fuchs Stephens
    Sanchez Sane Alli Zaha De Roon
    Aguero Ibra Origi

    A) save
    B) Aguero to Kane
    C) Sanchez and Origi to Coutinho and Kane -4

  12. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Snoddy -> Zaha/Townsend and bench Origi.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That makes getting Ibra tough tho....

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Valdes, Valencia, Bernardo (don't LOL), Townsend & Ibra (C)

    Enough for DGW34?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Too much almost

  14. Your Man With The Hair
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pick 3 for the rest of the season from...

    1) Aguero
    2) Ibra
    3) Kane
    4) Costa
    5) Kaku

    1. Rainer

    3. Darklord_bg

      Ibra, Kane, Kaku

  15. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Free transfers used to bring in Kane and Holgate, anything worth a hit? Any changes to the starting 11?

    Heaton
    Huth Holgate Valencia
    Sanchez Alli Coutinho Eriksen Sane
    (K)ane Lukaku

    Valdes Gibson Origi Stephens

  16. Unbelievable Jeff!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If you watched the game tonight, surely Sanchez has to go?! Arsenal were clueless and didn't have a shot second half. Boro at their place really going to be better?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Unbelievable!

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's all gone Pete Tong away from home, they can't beat meh teams atm... in fact they lose heavily to them.

    3. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's one game...

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        0-3 @CPL
        1-3 @WBA
        1-3 @LIV
        1-3 @CHE
        4-0 @SWA
        3-3 @BOU
        1-2 @MAC
        1-2 @EVE

        1. Darklord_bg
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez got 42 points in those games (not sure what MAC is), which is 6 PPG.

          Not sure what your point is.

  17. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane or Lukaku Captain?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      (K)ane! That ownership could result in a massive green arrow.

      1. Magic Bean
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. But could also give a massive red arrow if he blanks and Lukaku does his usual! Trying to get a feel of what people are thinking

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kun?

  18. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha has made me happy after I took the advice to captain the Spurs mids over Lukaku on here... stupid me

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seek advice but play the game how you want to play it...

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah well said.

  19. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sigurðsson to Zaha this or next week?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you keep Siggy you will not sell him against Stoke at home.

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Big Sam said nothing about PVA?

  21. Junior ⚽
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Defence right?
    Valencia (CHE) / Pieters (HUL) / Walker (BOU) (Alonso / Smith)

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso ahead of Valencia for me

  22. Swansea Bloke
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I'm going to do Origi to Kane and Sanchez to Zaha which gives me:

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Jagielka
    Coutinho Alli Son Zaha
    Kun Kane Lukaku
    (Jaku Stephens Barragan De Roon)

    Kun to Ibra and Jaku for Valdes for DGW. Then Zaha to Sterling to end the season.

    Look good? To hasty with Sanchez??

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds solid. A bit worried about Son gametime, though (Son owner myself)

      1. Swansea Bloke
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking if his game time does suffer I can change him to Sterling and Keep Zaha instead. So have options 🙂

  23. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you think will be your TC this season (if you still have the chip)

    I'm currently leaning towards Gabbiadini if the DGW will be in 35 (Hull + Ars)

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if you still have bb ? If not its got to be Haz,Kane or Kun on current form..

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I do, not sure why that matters here?

        1. Darklord_bg
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          If you play BB on GW37, then you won't have such a variety of options with double game weeks.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Was thinking Sanchez, but now I am leaning towards Ibra.

  24. Fowler23

    How many minutes will Kane get this weekend?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I guess 30' v WAT, almost bang on... 90' v BOU.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      90' needs to get sharp again for the cup semi the following Saturday!

    3. BananaNose Maldonado

      82.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years

        Oh yeah, Poch brings him off after the hattie for the special applause doesn't he? 😆

  25. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane worth taking -8 + selling Sanch?

    Pick - Grant
    Alonso - Valencia - Maguire - Mawson - Brunt
    Sanchez - King - Eriksen - Alli - Son
    Rondon - Luk - Llorente

    A) Sanch, Son, Rondon -> Zaha, JWP/Sterl, Kane (-8)
    B) Son, Rondon -> Zaha, Deeney (-4)

    On top of my minileague with a mere 13pts, but I'm the only one with a wildcard left...

    Thanks guys!

    1. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A looks good, having Rondon is like having -6 anyway

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yesss he's been causing hemorrhoids for weeks

  26. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Grant (HUL)
    Baines (BUR) - Walker (BOU) - Davies (BOU)
    Sanchez (mid) - Eriksen (BOU) - Firmino (wba) - Grosicki (stk)
    Lukaku (BUR) - Aguero (sou) - Carroll (sun)

    I like most of my matchups next week, but am really tempted to get in Kane and captain him, but already have three Spurs. So, which of these options looks best:

    A) Save
    B) Just Grosicki to Zaha
    C) Aguero to Kane, and Walker/Davies to Gibson (-4)
    D) Carroll to Kane, Sanchez to Zaha, Walker/Davies to Gibson (-8, but I gain Kane and two DGW34 players)

    Thanks, in advance, for any responses.

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Any way to get just Zaha and Kane for -4? Amazing team, mate

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Well, with three Spurs already, that only happens by taking out Eriksen, and I'm not sure I want to do that. I'm more tempted to ditch Walker at this point because I just fear there is something weird going on there and Trippier will continue to get regular starts.

        1. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Walker seems very risky these days yeah. I just did Sanch, Son and Rondon -> Zaha, JWP and Kane for -8. Woaah hope this pays off

  27. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho -> Walcott was a good move this GW....

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years

      lol

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years

      Thinking about the reverse mate 😆

  28. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kun out for Kane for a hit?

  29. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane to outscore Vardy from now until end of the season?

    1. Visionaries
      • 7 Years

      100%

    De Gea dropped because of his form according to the Mail
