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.

    What is it with people in the wall not jumping? Ronaldinho has retired.

      They didn't jump when Lukaku scored a free kick in 2016 either 😉

      Hennessey position questionable imo.

    Couthino has form and fixtures but no dgw. Sorry don't have him at present,sold on wildcard, but think need to re-sign. Midfield is Sanchez hazard Alli eriksen and ward prowse.

    Coutinho has been a part of my Wildcard team since yesterday.

    Really think he will come good even without doubles!

    1. Disco Pat

      I'm contemplating how to get back in.

    Countinho needs set pieces to score roberto can score anytime any place

      Salty

    2. CloudSky

      Coutinho non owner? Could smell you from here.

    3. Epic Fail

      Doesn't matter how the points come.

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

        It's ok he can never get more then one goal a game he gets subbed and wrapped in cotton wool

    4. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino's goals only count for 4 points though. No benefit to him playing OOP.

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I thought Firmino is classified as a mid

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          He always gets a YC immediately after scoring for taking his shirt off 🙂

          1. Live Lad
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            You meant his YC. I thought so.

      2. Live Lad
        • 9 Years

        What are you saying?

  13. F4L
    • 9 Years

    No room in the in for Cout sadly, bahhhaaaaa

  14. c10™️ ⚽

    Coutinho got a free gift from Hennessey ..

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

      That was such horrible positioning.

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    How is Hennessey still first choice? Where is the Mandanana guy?

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

      He's been brilliant last few games. Give the guy a break

    Chamberlain giving the ball away like a high school player...

  17. TOPCAT1960

    7 years, 1 month ago

    A Stat I just made up
    Of all the EPL matches so far this GW where there has been goals, the oppositions have not replied, not good for Zaha and Palace ?

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

      There are no points for winning a free kick or penalty .... you get assist points if the taker scores

  18. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If winning a pen or free kick that results in a goal is worth 3pts if someone else scores, why is it worth nothing if the same player scores? 😕

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Too many BPS.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can't assist yourself.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm well aware of the rules, that's not my point

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I think that what I really mean is winnable fk or pen should not be an assist

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

            agree with that ... assists should be a pass or throw to the goal scorer ... would avoid all the contention re winning your own penalty etc.

            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            The players actions lead to the goal scoring situation that is an assist imo

      2. 824545201
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ask Chicharito.

    3. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No one gets the assist points if the scorer does it all from free play too.

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

      Same reason yu don't get assist points for scoring your own rebound

    5. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 point for winning freekick in opponents' third. 2 points for winning a penalty. Assists only in open play. Solved.

  19. Rainer

    Start of the parting gifts from Coutinho 🙂

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

    Coutinho's FK a bit like Payet's earlier on at the same end; both GPs errors imo

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

      It was a great free kick regardless. He right in the corner doesn't get any better

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

        yep, but it was from 3o yards

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep - we are well aware of Hennessey's deficiencies on set pieces, we seen it so many times.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Aye. Goalkeepers make errors non shocker. You have to be the one taking the shot in the first place though to get the pts.

  21. We Will Klopp you

    Liverpool fan with Coutinho in my FPL team, what more could you ask for? 🙂

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

      It doesn't get better 🙂

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

      One more from Coutinho would be my guess.

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

        When does coutinho ever get two goals in a game? Last time that happened?

    3. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A top 4 finish?

    4. F4L

        Ouch, @FULHAM 4 LIFE, I asked for that tbh, but it would hurt a little more coming from someone who's team had won something within the last millennium

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance of a Benteke (c) goal Zaha assist to save this GW

    1. The Tinkerman

    Holding for 4m could be a bargain if he can hold his place

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He will be Holding

    2. Ravager
