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.

      Mate I had him for 8 GWs earlier this season GW20-27 for one goal, 0 assists. Brought him back this week and captained him because he was clearly best choice.

      Exactly, i did say yesterday (C) Tekkers!

        Boro can't score regardless of oppostion. Rashford was always a worry with gametime.

          Not sure if you posted this here before the GW, but if you did, fair play. I went with Negredo and yeah, I knew that about Boro, but thought they'd really go for it cause these two are the last favorable fixtures for them. Still not a fail before they face Sunderland anyway.

    3. Sims

      got both negredo and benteke. accidenty benched benteke though

      Tbf at least he has some form, playing for a team with confidence and was nailed for 180 mins.

    My 'rival' in my money league took a -24 to get ready for today and Benteke (c) alone pays that back. Jeez, I feel basic.

    Have tekkers captain. But I'm more excited about the true hero.

    Jason. Puncheon. Come on down 🙂

    All Benteke has to do is start next game to become my best captain of the season.

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

      Poor season for captaincy for me, granted.

  21. Syd.

    Good didn't want him getting a 2nd yellow card

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. I genuinely went in head in sand mode when I saw Benteke YC on here early. Stepped away from computer, turned WIFI off phone and started watching KKR collapsing in the IPL. Just returned in time for his second goal.

    Last year i hardly had time to look at fantasy football due to a new arrival in the house.made changes on a Friday and didn't look at it again until the following week. Ended up 6k overall and won my money mini league

    This season I'm checking it day in and day out and I'm planning changes weeks down the line. I'm having my worst season ever. And I'm midtable in a money league. Theres 2 teams ahead of me in a mini league who are ghost ship teams since Christmas.

      Makes sense. You didn't have time to overthink it. You made the good decisions and moved on ...

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years

      I always think I'll do the same this season(checking on Friday/sat) but end up overthinking it . Always !!

      Toby and Vert know him from Belgium. They will deal with him

  26. JayBomb

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Brought in Zlatan early and then brought in Benteke for Zlatan for a -4hit and captained him. The ups and downs of FPL

  27. vectorman

    Choosing Negredo for those fixtures knowing they needed goals and points versus better form Tekkers but pooper fixtures. You can't really say that was a bad decision. On paper away to Pool and Home to Spurs looked pretty tough for Palace and Boro did have a man sent off as well.. Them there's the breaks

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

      poorer* pooper lol could be those too. 😀

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Hows it not a bad decision?

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

        Because it was sound logic.

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

          No it wasn't sound logic.

          You backed some bag of crap striker playing for the worst form team in the premier league.

          Nothing to do with good logic, crap decision simple as stop spouting pish.

          1. Nabs Kebabs

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Think you missed the part that Boro have been rubbish in terms of attack all season. Poor decision.

      I was praying that the win against Palace in the reverse fixture meant the days of them being our bogey team was over, how wrong I was.

  28. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years

    Disgusting tackle 🙁

  29. Mark-O

    I don't really expect Benteke to score against Spurs but am happy with his points today

    1. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm happy with his points too

    If United win the Europa League and come fourth, does that mean whoever is fifth qualifies for the Champions League?

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

      I'm sure it goes to Fa cup winner if needed then 5th place I believe

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

      Depends on FA Cup winner
