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.

    Would you prefer double Spurs mid (plus Kane) or 1 def 1 mid plus Kane?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      1 from each position

    2. dunas_dog

      I have Alli Eriksen and Davies. Planning Eriksen to Zaha and keeping defender alongside Kane and Alli

  2. Mayo for Sam

    Best move?

    A Vardy > Ibra
    B Pedro > Zaha
    C Both (-4)
    D Save

    WC attempt to save my mini leagues

    Hennessy - Pickford
    Vertonghen - Rojo - Stones - Barragan - Yoshinda
    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - Zaha - King
    Ibrahimovic - King - Gabbiadini

    Advice and ideas welcome 🙂

    1. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      No BB?

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yes In 37, should have most bases covered with that team.

    3. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      King is Kane 🙂

    4. cjw176
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I like your team but may I suggest Ibra to Lukaku then switch back after the Chelsea game?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Sounds superb, good advice!

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Is Barragan nailed?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Not sure really, would only need him for 34 then happy to sell on.

    6. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Lukaku can hurt you a lot. Need him imo.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Until the end of the season?

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

      Should let go of Sanchez if you're chasing imo

      I would prefer a Palace def over Stones

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        I'm very nervous about owning no Arsenal for 2 DGW's

  4. Pea Soup
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Good to go on a (-4)?

    Pickford
    Davies Evans Valencia
    Zaha Coutinho Alli Sane
    Lukaku Kane Aguero

    Jaku Capoue Yoshida Smith

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Strong team

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

      Was that Sanchez + 6.5 forward to Kane + Zaha?

      1. Pea Soup
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Sanchez, Siggy & Carroll to Coutinho, Zaha and Kane

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

    Allardyce would have been the best England manage for years. Stupid error of judgement by him, worse by Venkys.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Very true

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

      What did the Venkys do to your chicken? 😛

    3. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Disagree. He doesn't know how to manage a team on the front foot which is disastrous in tournament football.

  6. martyhan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    bench one

    A. Sane (Southampton home)
    B. Hazard (man utd away)
    C.zaha (Leicester home)
    D. Ibra (Chelsea home)
    E. Snachez (boro away)

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      A

  7. MagnetBPS
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Thoughts on my WC team

    Hennessey Valdes
    Gibson Valencia Alonso Davies Yoshida
    Sanchez King Zaha Coutinho Alli
    Kane Anichebe Lukaku

    1. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Don't think you need both Hennesey & Valdes as only one will play for you in GW34. I'd lose one for Pickford.

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Zaha or Townsend?

    Btw, going without Kane and Hazard for next gw probably...

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Zaha

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

      Zaha for sure. Townsend too inconsistent and nobody would like to be in a position to cheer for a selfish player u dig?

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

      I'm going Townsend due to my ML rivals... Zaha the crowd favourite though.

  9. Pegboy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Henn (Jaku)
    Walker Alonso Nyom (Funes Mori*, Maguire*)
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Sterling (T.Carrol)
    Lukaku (c) Vardy Llorente

    2FT £2.8m (likely to WC 36)

    A) Llorente + Eriksen + Vardy > Kane + Coutinho/Walcott + Benteke (-4)
    B) Sanchez + Eriksen + Vardy > Hazard + Zaha + Kane (-4) (enough in bank for straight Llorente > Ibra next week)
    D) Sort out my defence

    1. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      C) should have been T. Carroll + FM > Zaha + Sakho

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

    Now I'm anxious...been ahead in minileague season but lead is now down to 40 points.

    Got 2 ft.
    Planning kun to kane and saving other. .how does that sound?

    Pickford (heaton)
    Alonso walker pieters (brunt Robertson)
    Sanchez alli siggy king (snoddy)
    Kun lukaku origi

    Thanks

      Lack of dgw34 players. So yea 1 tf this week as u need 2/3 Next week

  11. SuperMario
    • 14 Years

    Im guessing this has been asked, but when do we expect to know about the DGWs??

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      No idea now, was meant to be last week.

    2. Sims

      You are right this has been asked

      Nobody knows . It's literally going to be plastered all over here when the fixtures are announced . The only way you will miss it is you go blind .

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years

        lol.. this WC needs to be nailed in the coming weeks

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          If you log in once a day and just check the hot topics you will not miss the dgw announcement

  12. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Foster Pickford
    Alonso Baines Mawson Chambers Ward
    Eriksen Siggy Zaha King Clayton
    Ibra Agüero Lukaku

    Does Siggy/Agüero -> Alli/Kane look like a good use of two free transfers?

  13. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Just realised the Mid/Ars match is next Monday ... means his price could drop on Sat/Sun before we even see him play ~ not good

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

      Will* drop.

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

        so 200k more this week and at least another 100k before Monday ... do I reach for the Haz

        I suppose there's not much between 5 hits and 6 hits

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

          I'm keeping for the season so his price is now irrelevant to me.

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

      Can't believe ppl are still worried about price rises and falls with so few weeks left. I'd just go with who I thought would get most points tbh completely ignoring the market do u understand what I'm saying to u right now?

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

        If I want Haz and Sanchez for the run in then it's a fine margin ... losing .3 on Sanchez and Haz going up 0.2 or more is significant

        there's a difference between trying to make money and trying to avoid losing sv

  14. Swansea Bloke
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days 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?

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

    Worth a repost..

    Lukaku has scored more Prem goals than Middlesbrough this season
    Lukaku has scored 9 Prem goals since Sunderland scored their last 😀

    1. Jigger & Pony

          I'm fairly sure WR is giving me the death stare or the finger right now

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

            Both are preferable to the death finger.

  16. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Which fires need putting out first in my team?

    I have my WC still, but want to keep it for 36 for the big DGW

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Valencia, Baines, PVA, Olsson (McAuley)
    Antonio(injured), Eriksen, Alli, Hazard, (Capoue benchwarmer)
    Lukaku, Aguero, Origi

    Thinking if I don't play my WC then:

    Antonio OUT Zaha IN

  17. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Bought Origi for £6.1, if he goes up to £6.3 this week does that mean he can sell for £6.2?

    Asking as I'm £0.1m short of doing Sanchez & Origi to Coutinho & Kane.

    Failing Coutinho is Walcott best to get in? Or are there better options given Arsenal's recent form?

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

      Yes, you'd gain the extra £0.1m if Origi rises again.

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

        Great thanks, worth holding out?

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

    Who would you sell first:

    King or Siggy?

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

      I wouldn't sell king at all

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Why would you sell the best FPL player for value at this moment?

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

        Best FPL mid since GW22.

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

      Siggy. In fact I did it last week, to Sane 🙁

  19. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    That's correct. I'm personally steering clear of Arsenal for now.

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 11 Years

      This is a reply fail ^

  20. Moosie the Staggie
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Surely Wenger will have to play Sanchez up top again? Welbeck and Giroud ineffective and Alexis lost on the wing.

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

      It's Wenger, don't keep your hopes us.

      Good news is even on the wing Sanchez created some good chances.

      Something will have to change. Boro will set up rigidly too and make it difficult for Arsenal.

      Saying that, it is Wenger so anything could happen...

  21. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    No chance I'm getting Sanchez for the double. Hello Hazard.

  22. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Thoughts please....

    A - kun to kane. Keep alexis and origi
    B - alexis, origi to kane, zaha(-4) and keep kun

    Then kun to Ibra next week.

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

      I sold Sanchez for a hit just gone to get Aguero. -8 buying and selling Sanchez in 2 GW period but it paid off

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

    Ibra>Kane for free this week then get Ibra back the following for Lukaku or Kun.

    Nearest rivals don't have Ibra and all 3 Spurs spots used so can't get Kane without hits. Already have Eriksen and Alli

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

      If we are sure Kane will start then yes.

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

        Good point

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Looks a good tactic.

  24. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    I have 3 Spurs players but no Kane.Do you think its worth to loose one of them to get him?

  25. Carlton P
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez + anichebe > zaha + Kane done. Keeping hold of kun for season. May do Lukaku > Costa for doubles

  26. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Main question now - what to do with Sanchez?

    Sell for a hit?

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

      Did last week and some thought it was crazy

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Think I will, Hazard looking better and in a better team.

  27. Sergeant Garcia
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    What about this WC attempt? Only Siggy, Alli & Lukaku survived the cut.

    Hennessy Pickford
    Alonso Toby Yoshida Gibson Holgate
    Hazard Alli Siggy Zaha Davies
    Ibra Lukaku Kane

    Midfield too weak? 0.5 itb

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Alonso survived too :3

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

      Get JWP or Redmond for double instead of Davies

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Good advice! Thanks

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

      Siggy is a flog. Almost sold him last 2 weeks

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah, although I want him to give Watford at this point 😛

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      King for Siggy

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Good shout, he's killing me at this point! Good team other than that? Still on the fence about the wc.

  28. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Anyone else holding onto Sanchez and not getting in Kane?

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yes keeping

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

      Yes and yes.

      Sanchez still Arsenal's most important player, and I have Erik and Alli to cover Kane.

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yup.

      Keeping for the Boro game. Hopefully he will have a DGW in 35 before my WC in 36 🙂

    4. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Ah that's a little encouraging!
      He'll take a serious value drop but class is class

  29. Unbelievable Jeff!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Worth AOA for this?
    Pickford
    Gibson Robertson
    Alli Hazard Eriksen Zaha King
    Ibra Lukaku Kane
    Bench: Heaton Valencia Fuchs

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Definitly!

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Yup

  30. Connor's Calling

    Is Zaha likely to rise tonight?

    Just added 15% in an hour to 70%...hmmm

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

      Not tonight, but definitely by the end of the week.
