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.

      I would be too. Good work

    2. Deulofail

      7 years, 13 days ago

      Me too. Even after Rashford news. Had GW35 in mind too though

      Did people really get Negredo over Tekkers? wow

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        It was fair if for just one week. Negredo had a great chance for his biggest ever GW

      Me three!

    Rob Holding should be nailed!

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Does he have goal threat?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        He almost scored from a corner

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          Does he have goal threat aside from once nearly scoring from a corner?

    If you WC, would you bring jesus as City cover ?

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

      I'm not.

    2. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      If Aguero is sidelined for the rest of the season 😆

    3. GuillermoDickero
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      How do we know he will start?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Just brainstorming 😀

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      I'd get Sane.

    5. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Tempted to gamble on him, but it is definitely a gamble.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Waiting until GW36 to give it another week to see if Jesus is up and running

  4. 824545201
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Sane playing 120 minutes makes him a doubt for the PL game?

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Kdb Navas Kompany Otamendi playing 120 minutes too

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Hope so. I have 10 points in first position on my bench.

    Trying to plan for DGW 36/37 with no WC.

    Planning 5/6 transfers over next 3 gameweeks - thoughts on key players to prioritise?

    A) Hazard
    B) Pedro
    C) Sane
    D) Gabbi
    E) Rashford
    F) Sanchez (already own)

    1. THFC4LIFE

      ACDF

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      AFBCDE. Rough order

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Maybe Sane ahead of Pedro. Especially if for GW35

  6. TheOneAndOnly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Anyone else go TC?

    1. dark91

      Tekkers Captain ?

      1. TheOneAndOnly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Had to make a move, 75% people will have Sanchez captain gw36

        1. dark91
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          He could well outscore Sanchez and Aguero in GW 27

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Nah, saving for Costa

  7. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Tekkers(c) owner but Liverpool fan these points feel tainted 🙁

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Surely Liverpool FC is more important than fantasy football?

      1. Kryten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Correct lack of options for c was hoping he scores past spurs not us I feel dirty

    Arsenal are so naive. Just park the damn bus you fools.

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years

      Then people will call them boring !!

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Or just dont lose the ball

  11. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Two full games in a week from Kompany, including playing 120 mins here. Must be the first time has done that in a long time...

  12. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years

    Did kun go off injured?

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

      Looks like it.

    2. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Limping

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      He walked off very cautiously, and was odd time to take him off. But he just sat on the floor by the dugout, wasn't receiving treatment. Possibly just tired. Very odd substitution though.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years

        Thanks.. maybe cramp. Hope he back Thursday

        Time to go underground

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Was always a damage limitation week, hopefully not a big red arrow 😮

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Hopefully.

        The week is gonna be long

      • 8 Years

      You're not exactly in a horrible position. Points on the bench is annoying, but it doesn't make a difference to whether the rest of your team will do well

  14. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 13 days ago

    Yesss Bentekeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😀

  15. Ben the Mee

        No

    • tm245

      Horrible from Welbeck.

    • Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Can I just clarify...did Aguero go off injured or was he just subbed and then limped off (like he always does when subbed)?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Subbed, limped off.

        Weird to take him off and did go down earlier.

      2. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        think it was the latter

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

        There's no confirmation.

    • Ravager
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Feel like I can get nothing right this season.

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Everyone is forgetting negredo still has the worst team in the league to play - thats what you picked him for

        Im expecting nothing from tekkers against spurs

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

          Problem is they are the second worst team in the league.

          1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 13 days ago

            Problem for twkkers captainers is spurs are the second best!

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

              This is true. Though they've already got some points so it isn't too bad.

          2. Ravager
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 13 days ago

            Lool chances are they drag each other down in a thriller?

        2. the snazzy viking

      7 years, 13 days ago

      benteke needs to avoid another yellow just

      done his job for this game

    • Shultan
      • 8 Years

      I have Gibson, Zaha, Valencia

    • the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      another yellow for Benteke would do nicely.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        That would be horrible

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        He probably end up with his usual bonus free points and he's getting nothing vs spurs..id take that

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          he's getting 2 points vs spurs

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Followed by another goal 😉

      4. HashAttack

      Dropping Coutinho on my wildcard feels so wrong, but I guess it has to be done right?
