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.

    Benteke would always have extra motivation against Klopp.

      I'm happy with my coutinho cap, but i own benteke and its frustrating that he scores against my team.......... I rather get a blank and red arrow than that he scores like this........

      Anyone else having the golden DGW defense line-up of Valencia, Gibson and Chambers?

        Valencia and Gibson. That's been a horror show.

        But Tekkers captain is a balm 🙂

      I haven't got Benteke, but at least I've got Zaha for cover.

      Mark ain't bad at this FPL stuff.

        I suck at this game. Went with Negredo instead of Benteke because of fixtures. Well... big mistake.

        Zaha is pathetic.

          Glad Zaha getting a rest, played loads recently, gotta keep him for Spurs!

        Zaha off and PVA on

      5. DR0GBA

        PVA coming on - my GW is saved!

        I'm now up to an almighty 13 points so far!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          PVA goal or assist would be magic

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years

          I'd worry about him missing it & then getting booked & sent off

      8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

        Zaha fail. Made up for by the Bentekmonster

        Maybe the Ibra injury was a good thing afterall. Wouldnt have (c)'d Tekkers if Ibra was fit

          This is true. I wouldn't have had tekkers full stop. I do though, and he's captain and it feels bloody good.

      10. The Head-Ake

        I have Ibra and Valencia in my team. Holgate(8) for Ibra but is Valencia playing against City? I VCed Alli

        1. LakhaneeFC
          • 7 Years

          Think he will. Rested this game, not injured.

            • 7 Years
            7 years, 17 days ago

            If Kane doesn't score more than 8 points, I'd be glad coz I was gonna bring Kane in for Ibra but was too late on that

        I didn't get any Palace because I didn't know Liverpool would be so shite

          Clearly haven't learned from Liverpool and Klopp being unable to deal with direct football

          Am sure a few excuses will come out after about 'defensive football'

      13. fiveyears

        Zaha should play Weds then, not that there was much doubt I guess!

        No malice? Maybe, but only if conscious ignorance counts as not malice

        -12 hit, only 4 players played, but Teke (C) has got me a green arrow already. Tiny green, but green nonetheless.
