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.

    Any reason not to pull the trigger on Aguero > Kane now or wait?

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

      Nope

  2. F4L

    Brunt ➡ Jags worth a hit?

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

      Yes

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

      Yeah anyone for brunt

      1. The Dynamics

        unless you have a good replacement sub.

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          nope, would have to play Brunt

  3. Lav

    Is Origi worth it as a third striker?

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

      Problem is cheaper 5th milfs like Zaha & King are better... maybe go 3-5-2?

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

        Think I will go 3-5-2. How does this look so far...

        Eden Alli Eriksen Zaha King
        Kane Lukaku

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

          Really good, yeah, like it, no benching nightmares too.

      If you have him keep for this gw then sell him.

  4. Kun Tozser

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pint of wine for BFS?

    -8 crazy?

    OUT Walker, Sanchez, Vardy, Barnes

    IN Vert, Zaha, Lukaku, Kane

    1. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just Vardy to Kane

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years

    Save FT the sensible move? Would like another game to assess aguero kane and sanchez..

    1FT 0.6ITB

    Pickford
    Alonso valencia vertonghen
    Sanchez alli eriksen zaha

    1. Caleb's Kitties
      • 9 Years

      Benteke* not valencia

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

      Vertonghen->CPalace defender so you can take Kane and Ibra next gw.

      1. Caleb's Kitties
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks..i was actually weighing up aguero/eriksen to ibra/hazard...

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

          For sure a good choice.Though it would be scary not have Kane with these fixtures.

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So will Fabio be nailed?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

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

      Yes, he is nailed. Better, much better than Barragan on the right, and a natural LB.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years

      cheers lads

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Is Kane, Alli, Eriksen too much Spurs attack? They need to be scoring 4 against bournmouth to justify that? Can't see them scoring 4 every game as good as they are...

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

      Why do they need to be scoring 4? Lol.

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

      As the wise old owl TH suggests, even 2 goals can return for 3 😆

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

        Exactly 2 goals 2 assists with bonus split between three works out fine.

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Best attacking side with a very slim chance of the league. Why not if you've no other mid options?

      However it's Bavies at the back and Alli and Kane for me. Some great cheap mids right now, King, Zaha, Tavies.

  9. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      Nice! I've got most of your attack, too.

      Maybe get 1-2 Dgw keepers? Pickford, Valdes, Caballero? Can you get a Gibson for Barragan?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can get Willy if I get Heaton out. Feels wrong to transfer him out tho. Might do it with one of my FTs later on tho.

      Doing something similar with Vert.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hate losing a Spurs D, but Bournemouth could score on them, even at the Lane. I just think Spurs will get 3 at least.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          7 years, 1 month ago

          Afobe and King chalking up returns at the moment.

          Vert just seems the one to go for me.

          Hard though, let down by Gooners at the end though.

    Hey lads, what can I do here? Have 2 FT..

    Foster - Grant
    Azpi - Valencia - Davies - Stones - Amat
    Sanch - Siggy - Snodgrass - Redmond - DeRoon
    Kun - Kaku - Vardy.

    Have my WC too..

  16. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Well arsenal were absolutely abysmal

    I can afford another drop opn Alexis but I'm getting pretty impatient with him at the minute, especially with Hazard banging in the baps

    Stick or twist? The double is all I have him for but he'll be 11.4 at that rate, and if he flops then, it will be a disaster!

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sell and dont look back - till the doubles.

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        When are the doubles?

        I thought there was one in 34 for Arsenal

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          No sir. They have 2 games waiting to be rescheduled, still. Which should give them 2 extra DGWs, just dont know when!

          1. Clintymints
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Ah, well that's annoying

            Temtped to get Eriksen in for Sanc but Alli, Kane and Eriksen sounds like a lot.

            Chelsea's fixutres suck in comparison but Haz looks decent agian

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

      It's hard especially when you have Ibra and Kane knocking at the door. Surely he fires soon but he doesn't look like he wants to be there.

    3. rocky7st
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure Wenger will panic and put him back up front after the showing today

    4. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      another 2 drops this week, and then Ars do not play until Monday

      My only option would be San > Haz but I am reluctant to do it
      Man U only let 1 goal in at home each game (since wk 4)
      Haz is nothing special away - even for big teams

      Being generous Haz gets 10, -4 for the transfer ... and Sanchez vs Mid?
      But its going to cost 0.5M to keep Sanch ... whereas I could swap for Haz now and buy Sanch back in wk 35

  17. Dazzler365
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo wins? Andy Carroll and Sanchez or Kane and zaha. (-4)?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The latter by a mile

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You reckon?have no money tide up in Sanchez but he has DGWs and none of my rivals have him. I still have my WC

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      k + z easily

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can also just do ibra to Kane and still play zaha and Sanchez if that's better

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

      On current form? Sheesh... you know the answer.

      1. Dazzler365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Already own zaha, would be bringing in king for Sanchez and benching this gw which allows Carroll upgrade to Kane. Leaves me with a cheapie midfield but it could tie me over until WC time

  18. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    a. Siggy to Zaha
    b. Sanchez to Hazard
    c. Costa to Ibra or Kane
