The Dugout Discussion – Watford versus Crystal Palace

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

Itโ€™s a tale of two sides with conflicting form: the Hornets are riding high after back-to-back victories, while the Eaglesโ€™ 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 Watfordโ€™s back line are in for a testing afternoon.

      Over 50% of people playing the game have Mahrez (including > 90% on here I'd guess) so it's a safe assumption that the vast majority who are trading Wilson for Vardy are doubling up

      Other options discussed at length here:
