The Dugout Discussion – Watford versus Crystal Palace

There’s just the one Premier League fixture for Fantasy managers to monitor over their Sunday lunches, with Watford welcoming Crystal Palace to Vicarage Road.

It’s a tale of two sides with conflicting form: the Hornets are riding high after back-to-back victories, while the Eagles’ wings have been clipped by successive defeats.

Watford rank third-bottom for goals conceded (five) and big chances conceded (five), illustrating their diligence at the back. Moreover, they are the only side in the league that are yet to concede a home goal this campaign. The Hornets have added a sting to their defensive resolve in recent Gameweeks, too, recording wins over Swansea and Newcastle.

The Eagles amassed eight goals through the opening four Gameweeks but have registered consecutive blanks since then. Also of concern to Alan Pardew is the fact that Palace have conceded more shots inside the box (66) than any team in the league. That being said, they rank sixth for big chances (10) and shots on target (28), which should ensure that Watford’s back line are in for a testing afternoon.

      Yeah. A certain type of striker tho. Not always occupying central space. His strength is the outside-inside runs so that's all good. Martial plays much the same

        Oh dear! Instead til about 3am but that was my impression up until then.

        Favourable fixtures so guess I'll stick. Willian obviously made a big impact tho so I guess he could find himself in and out a bit.

        Politics aside, Mourinho has to pick players that are going to win football matches

    Kolarov l Dawson l Bertrand l Dier l Nyom
    Sanchez l Tadic l Payet l Marhez l Westwood
    Aguero l Sturridge l Vardy

      McCarthy not starting. Souare>Nyome as it seems atm. Drinkwater>Westwood. (>= better than), so many change can be made. Bertrand not worth the money for me either.

      Good team! I would possibly downgrade Tadic so you could upgrade Westwood but that is up to you, 3-4-3 also works fine with this team!
