Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

The final double Gameweek side take to the pitch in Sunday’s late kick-off, with Crystal Palace making the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Fantasy managers will, of course, be focused on both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke in the Palace attack, with both commanding 144,000+ and 148,000 new Fantasy Premier League owners for Gameweek 34 respectively.

Benteke is skippered by 96214 (2.1%) of his owners as he bids to extend a run of three goals in his last four outings. He’ll face his former club in form, then, with Zaha and Andros Townsend tasked with providing him with the ammunition.

While Sam Allardyce’s side have every motivation to earn a third successive win at Anfield, Liverpool also have every incentive to claim a victory.

Their quest for a top spot and Champions League qualification goes on, with Fantasy managers focused on the efforts and output of Brazilian pair Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Coutinho has been signed by over 34,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 34, with Firmino earning 58,000+ new owners following his run of returns in six consecutive Gameweeks.

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

    Ox an option? He is nailed if Wenger wants to keep him at the club and he has been Arsenal's best player these last 2 games.

        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Wanger might decide to keep if he continues to play like this.

  16. Karan14

    Any guesses which player Herera will be marking in the Derby?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Probably Silva if he will be playing

    2. Rover

      Nope

    2. EmreCan Hustle

    Fwiw. My thoughts on Gabriel Jesus....and nothing has changed since I wrote the same back in Dec/January.

    Gabriel Jesus is pep's blue chip signing, of course he will want him to play. He may or may not scupper some minutes for Aguero...it could easily be Sane, Silva, Sterling, KDB or Aguero himself who pays the price for Pep to show off his shiny new toy....but he will show it off.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I reckon he will play them together

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Maybe.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Pep likes 1 up top. If Jesus is fit come 37 it will be a headache to own either.

  27. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Would you rather do
    A) Valdes to Forster, bench Heaton
    B) Gibson to Clichy, bench Sanchez/Kaku
    C) Gibson to Yoshida, bench Kaku or sanchez

    Ramsay is such an average player. Reason he looks good for Wales is because he does not have that much of the ball - so all his running around is effective.

  29. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Can we please have lots of Benteke, Townsend and Coutinho goals in a high scoring Liverpool win

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      lol no thanks - lots of Benteke (C)/Zaha goals in a high scoring Palace win 😀 (live in hope)

    Prepering for WC in 36. How is it look:

    Cech, Pickfrod
    Monreal, Blind, Clichy, Stephens, Holgate
    Sanchez, Alli, Hazard, Sane, King
    Kane, Jesus, Gabbiadini

    Will obviously monitor Jesus situation.
