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.

    Siggy, Llorente, Walker out
    Zaha, Kane (c), Holgate in??? -4

    1. Frank Black

      You might as well keep Llorente against a Watford team with no defense.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yes

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I'd hold Llorente since Swans need goals and Watford don't have a fit defence. Tempting though.

      7 years, 17 days ago

      seems risky to do on a Monday night. Have exact cash tho so can't hang about.

      Whats with walker? Not back next week?

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        free's up a couple of 0.1 for the other moves

        1. Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Still look like good transfers, but not sure i would want to lose walker...

  3. BrutalLogiC
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Did Benteke do anything to warrant transferring him in? 2 points suggests not?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Had chances. Keeper made a couple of good saves.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Worst player in Palace team. Better than most Arsenal

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Was decent

    4. Crow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Don't think he's the man to have at palace tbh. Rather zaha sakho

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Szahako double up

        1. Crow
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Exactly x)

    5. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      He did score a goal, but it was off-sides and nullified

    6. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Now they've found someone who can take a penalty - probably not.

    7. Egyptian Giza
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      he looked good tbf, had a couple of blocked shots, an offside goal, a penalty he should have taken, would happily keep if I was an owner

    8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      No he's a useless lump. FPL Oxygen thief Personified

    9. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Not sure what game some of the above watched. He had chances, one of them was a certain goal were it not for a last ditch block from the defender.

    10. JogaSemmedo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Bullied Arsenals defence and had couple of chances. Fact Zaha is on form with his supply can see Benteke capitalising in coming weeks.

    11. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years

      Replace him with Rondon

    12. FPLtfs

      got praised in post match interview.. by Wenger

        He teared it up in the full clash.

  5. Mateja
    • 8 Years

    Sanchez Alonso Deeney/Llorente -> Kane Mkhtari Holgate for -8
    ??

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      No

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Zaha or Townsend? Big decision ahead!

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Zaha

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Zaha

  7. Chris_H
    • 14 Years

    Sakho off the bench for a cleanie, who'da thunk it?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      He was best player on the pitch.. man in stand would have given him 3bps

  8. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Towsend has a new hairline

  9. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Which move to make to enable a front 3 of Kun, Kane and Lukaku?

    A) Valencia to Yoshida
    B) Siggy to Zaha

    1. Mateja
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      A

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I'd go A, get Zaha in 34 though. Valencia playing 1 of the DGWs based on things lately.

    3. JoshyC
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      B

    4. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years

      B

    5. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 9 Years

      Cheers lads. Anyone want to cast a deciding vote?

    6. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      B, by a mile

  10. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Which pair-

    A-Eriksen + albrighton
    B-Coutinho/Firmino +zaha

    if B, then which pool mid?

    Bye Sanchez

    1. Crow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      B with coutinho, more in form

      1. JoshyC
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Agree

    2. Atom&Humber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Coutinho and zaha

  11. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez + Deeney > Zaha + Kane (-4) worth it?

    Gives me a few mil to play with as well.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Tough one, could go either way...

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Could be worth it depends how you use the spare cash.

  12. John wick
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Negeredo triple captain next week...Lol
    This the level AW has got it this season
    And there are still bunch of donkeys who will respect and support that old mad man

  13. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    If I keep Sanchez this week I need to do Walker,Vardy > Gibson,Kane tonight otherwise I can't afford the move.
    Otherwise do Sanchez > Coutinho or Hazard to fund it for -4?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I'd fund it with the -4, bring in Coutinho. See my situation above, thoughts?

  14. Crow
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez-Hazard-Alli-Zaha-Coutinho

    Who to get for sanchez?

    A) mikhi
    B) firm

    Every single player returned except sanchez this week. Would have broken the 100 if sanchez got me 1 goal, even 1 assist probably, soooo unlucky.

    1. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Save

      1. Crow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        *Sigh*

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      King/eriksen

      1. Crow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Can't do eriksen (spurs slots) and doing king is a waste since even the most out-of-form sanchez against boro will do better than king at spurs. Nothing from a or b?

    3. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Hold

  15. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Townsend looking better

  16. rogerbarton
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Kyle Walker & Diego Costa > Kane & Gibson for -4? (Yep, got 3 Spurs)

  17. Bill Haverchuck
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Anyone care to guess what the average points off the bench will be for the top 10k? Thinking 3-4, maybe a bit higher

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Average up by how many points after today?

    1. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Top 10k is up by 3.3, but autosubs will bring that up further

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        That's ok I guess. Have 7pts coming off the bench myself. Cheers

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Do discovery stats not factor in autosubs?

  18. FISSH
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    lost a few pages back... hows this for a WC?

    Grant/Valdes
    Davies, Robertson, Yoshida, Alonso, Valencia
    King, Sane, Coutinho, Alli, Zaha
    Kane, Lukaku, Ibra

    Valdes Pickford
    Mustafi Bailly Gibson yoshi holgate
    Sanchez Alli erik sane King
    Kaku kun anichebe
    2.0ITB 1FT
    A) Sanchez + anichebe > zaha + Kane is tempting
    B) kun > kane

    1. jurgenklopp.8

      A

  20. Wild Rover

    So many posting that Benteke had a good game. Bizarre 😕

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      He did

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        He really didn't

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Not in FPL terms. But he won almost every single header, most of them leading to some great chances for Palace. Was absolutely crucial for their gameplan today.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Better than usual.

  21. Dele

  22. VS10_

    3 - Townsend (45)

      Rubbish

      1. VS10_
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        System punishes the more active player who looses the ball I guess.

    2. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 9 Years

      Shame but ill take the 2!

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I wanted 3 Zaha BAPS, but I will gladly take this 11 point outcome.

  23. jamie1972
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Zaha or Townsend, decisions decisions.... never thought one of these two would be vying for my Sanchez spot, but there it is.....

    (gives a front three of Kun/Kaku/Kane for the run-in)

  24. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years

    Kane Ibra Costa or Kane Ibra Lukaku for gw34?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie

      The latter

    2. how now brown cow

  25. Junior ⚽

    Anyone own Zaha/Towny?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Both? Would find that a rare instance. I think a few of us had Zaha, and a few unfortunately owned but benched.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Had Zaha a few after back from AFCON

  26. Mateja
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez -> Lingard and Deeney/Llorente -> Kane for -4 ? does it worth ?
    Rest of the team
    Lloris(Jaku)
    Alonso-Valencia-Olsson(Brunt,Gibson)
    Sanchez-Firmino-Ali-Hazard(Morrison)
    Lukaku-Deeney-Llorente

    might double up on palace mids for the dgw, already have zaha but townsend looked really good. Home games to burnley and hull in the next 3 after dgw

    Hi Guys

    Do we have any idea when the rest of the remaining fixtures are to be scheduled so then I can start planning for the doubles?

    Thanks

    Wenger is off his head shackling Sanchez, he used to burst a lung getting in the box no matter what position he started. If he's not playing to Wenger's instructions he'd be subbed off surely or not start?

    Its been crying out for 3 weeks now for Welbeck to be tried down the left and Sanchez moved centrally.

    Ozil also just slams the brakes on every promising Arsenal attack with his ineffective powderpuff touches.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      It's as if Wenger wants to lose and get sacked
