Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Burnley

2,419 Comments
Share

With just two goals from Saturday’s action so far, we now turn to the tea-time kick-off at Selhurst Park to provide some much-needed entertainment and Fantasy returns.

Crystal Palace host Burnley having enjoyed an influx of investment on the back of their double Gameweek 34, ensuring that many will have interest in this evening’s encounter.

Christian Benteke – one of the few success stories with a 14-point return – heads into the match backed by 608,000+ FPL managers, with 172,000 opting to hand him the captaincy ahead of the Clarets clash – that includes 21 of the top 100 managers.

In contrast, Wilfried Zaha owes his recent investors. He was brought in by 144,000+ ahead of Gameweek 34 only to return just three points. More than 46,000 have shipped him out ahead of today’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I seriously considered Ozil over Alexis. It would've enabled Monreal over Gabriel for security of starts, or in hindsight Jesus over Gabbiadini.

        Because he stays quite central and isn't the most *cough* energetic of players, he should be a great pick for back-to-back DGWs.

          Yeah, it would be a big blow if he outscores Sanchez because the players I sacrificed for Sanchez will definitely be outscored by the ones I would've had! (if that makes any sense)

    My plan was to TC Sanchez this week and BB wk37 but starting to think BB 36 and TC Kaneohe hazard 37 what sounds best team below for 37

    Willy
    Yosi Stephens Gabriel
    King eriksen Sanchez hazard sane
    Kane gabbi
    Bench: Davies Alonso Pickford anichebe

    I also think some of these players may be out of their teams by wk37

      I am in the same position will similar team but don't do it. If you bench boost this week it means one big thing. Gw 37 you will have to bench alot of double players and question is which will you get more points. Triple captain needs a little luck so no point banking on easy games as players could be rotated. You could even keep your triple captain for the goal feast gw38

              Ok, got you. A shades it for me as I have Eriksen and Jesus, but I think the consensus on here would say Sanchez and Gabbi (even after today) as it's safer.

                If I consider your suggestion I come up with the more complex choices:

                A) Cech + Huth + Eriksen + Jesus + Costa
                B) Caballero + Huth + Sanchez + Gabbi + Costa
                C) Cech + Alderweireld + De Bruyne + Gabbi + Jesus

                Annoying to read, but C is what transpires if I get Gabbi and Jesus

      If you bought Alonso at 6.1m, you're in such a strong position. Ideal fixtures for Chelsea's defence to rediscover a CS plus he offers so much attacking threat.

      Could even be a captain option vs Boro.

        Matic was the last one in because I had exactly enough money for him and he's a regular for Chelsea. He has a chance of a goal or assist the way Chelsea are playing at the moment. Evans is a regular at 4.4 in a DGW team even if it is West Brom. That's the only reason. The defence has to be extremely cheap to allow the front 8 to be all together in one squad.

    Heaton -> Cech (-4)? Worth it? (no WC left)

      Depends on your other keep but cech will outscore heaton by 4 over the next 2 gws so might be worth it

      Probably, yeah. Unless you have outfield moves to prioritise.

        Yup, have others I also want to transfers out (Chambers), but the money saved on not taking him doesn't help me much...

    No WC. Who should buy this week? 1FT, planning on getting A and B for -4 and getting C with my GW37 FT.

    A) Gabriel
    B) Hazard
    C) Jesus

    My plan was to TC Sanchez this week and BB wk37 but starting to think BB 36 and TC Kaneohe hazard 37 what sounds best team below for 37

    Willy
    Yosi Stephens Gabriel
    King eriksen Sanchez hazard sane
    Kane gabbi
    Bench: Davies Alonso Pickford anichebe

    I also think some of these players may be out of their teams by wk37

    Opinions appreciated.

    Is Wellbeck over Gabbi for doubles worth doing- would be good differential? Perhaps something to think about after game tomorrow

    If I had my TC left I would only be hanging it on Kane or Hazard. They are in teams that hve something to play for. The Arse dont have a cat in hells chance of top 4 imo.
