The Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs West Ham

We head to Selhurst Park for Saturday’s final fixture as Palace and West Ham’s dodgy defences go head-to-head.

Christian Benteke warmed up for this one with a midweek hat-trick against Gibraltar and will fancy his chances against a rearguard that conceded more goals than any other over the first seven.

Subject of a recent members article, the in-form Dimitri Payet has racked up a goal and four assists in four starts for the visitors and chipped in with a goal and assist for France over the break.

Michail Antonio has netted in each of his last two away outings – at Man City and West Brom – suggesting he could punish his recent batch of sellers against a Palace backline that’s yet to keep a clean sheet.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Collins to Pieter? Or upgrade if have got the cash! Rose is a rotation risk so just try and make sure you have subs who play. At least with full backs the chances of 1 point cameos are slim

          They've got decent short term fixtures but time will tell. I wouldn't be rushing a WH defender into my team. Take no notice of Dusan Citizen - a quick look at his team clearly shows he is in a strop about his own team and is spending Saturday night abusing people behind a screen that he doesn't know.

    In a bit of a dilemma. Would like Walcott before his rise, got 2FT. Cannot afford to drop Antonio for a straight swap.

    Team:
    Pickford, Jaku
    Baines, Holebas, Walker, Evans, Amat
    Antonio, Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Capoue
    Deeney, Aguero, Lukaku

    Worth doing Sterling -> Walcott tonight, or use both FT already?

    Have the money to do Sterling or Antonio to Wally. Would you pull the trigger tonight before price changes (if so for who?) or wait until later in the week as could afford then also.
    Both Sterling and Antonio effectively playing RWB was very annoying today

      Stoke turning the tide, up against free-falling Hull is so tempting. I reckon they will keep this GW's successful line-up, which means Bojan is out and Arnie is probably on pens.

      I'm quite liberal in burning trades, so D) for Antonio in 3-4-3, or C) for Capoue if you're interested in benching headaches and 3-5-2

    I think this season when you compare many players like Sterling vs Walcott and Capoue vs Allen, there isn't a massive difference there too see. I feel it's best to just stick with the players you have because they will likely come good just like the others have. This season presents many options.
