Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

3,123 Comments
Share

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.

          FPL is a game of luck and skill. For every Benteke there is a Negredo and a Lukaku. It is the punts that get you up the leagues. At the beginning of the season many of us punted on Redmond - that was a rubbish punt, but that is FPL. Benteke may have got a red card today before he got his goals then we would be laughing about why Negredo is not a bad captain choice. Fine margins and sometimes it falls for you and sometimes it doesn't.

        I should be able to build up two free transfers by GW37, so I should be able to rotate him out easily enough if needed. There's space on the bench for him until then if he doesn't start.

                      Better players than me can still make mistakes, but identifying Negredo (C) was not a good move because he plays for the lowest scoring team in the division, tends to go on extended goalless runs, hasn't had a double digit haul for 17 games, was even dropped 4 games ago, avoiding him in advance and bringing in Benteke instead ... is good planning, not hindsight.

                      Hindsight is saying something like ... wish I didn't bench Mawson and Holgate points 😉

        Liverpool in danger of missing out on the Top 4

        Can see the 2 Manchester clubs playing a 0-0 out on Thursday

          Really?
          I see Utd struggling at City
          Maybe Jose pulls off another masterclass but Pep seems to always have 1 over him

          To be fair our squad is absolutely sh!te, mediocre owners means we only get a net spend of zero every year. That being said he mismanaged Sakho and Sturridge imo and the squad is partly his responsibility... Our team isn't good enough for CL

            15-3 last 3 times against Bayern? Arsenal will never win the UCL under Wenger and waste the spot, but at least Liverpool will give the top teams in Europe a game like they do in the Prem.
