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.

        At least you get to call Mark a liar in person. Said he was going to captain Kane. Wouldn't touch a double player. It's not the first time he has mislead the listeners either ๐Ÿ™‚

    TM captained Negredo.

    Andy captained Negredo.

    Jonty captained Negredo.

    Mark captained Benteke.

    That's why he gets the big bucks from official FPL.

      Pick a defender for a 1-week pre-WC punt to replace Amat. Can afford any defender in the game. Current lineup is this:

      Davies/Valencia/Gibson/Holgate/Amat

      Looks good for Benteke owners now. But remember Benteke was brought in for Pool game more than Spurs and Negredo was brought in for Sunderland game more than Bournmouth. Still a long way to go
