Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

3,942 Comments
Share

Gameweek 32 concludes at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace – with victories in four of their last five Premier League matches – look to maintain their recent revival against London rivals Arsenal.

Sam Allardyce’s’ Eagles have kept clean sheets in their last two home outings but a shut-out looks unlikely this evening: they face an Arsenal side who have scored in each of their previous twenty matches in the Premier League, with key Fantasy asset Alexis Sanchez a big factor in that statistic.

The Chilean has notched 12 goals and supplied five assists on the road this season – more than any other player – and is backed by 309,000+ or 7% with the captaincy this evening.

He’s supported by an in-form Theo Walcott, with the FPL midfielder boasting goals in back-to-back Gameweeks as he bids to provide us with a cheaper alternative to Sanchez. Impressively, Walcott has scored 18 goals from his last 23 starts in all competitions.

    When PVA is even fit, will Big Sam change a wining side? Can imagine he would just hook Schlupp immediately.

      I really hope PVA gets into the 11.. Would he play PVA further up the field and keep Schlupp at LB?

      He just lost the ball and still gained 2bps, I'm hoping that's the winning goal, but let's wait and see.

      Zaha is Mr Dispossessions. 6 I think - he's probably nailed on for the 2 and Townsend will get the 3.

    Those who still have their TC:

    Who are you playing it on?

    *DGW 34: Only Ibra strikes me as an option but then again 2 away games, Burnley and City

    *DGW 35/36: Sanchez (and Arsenal) clearly not in form. Punt on Gabbiadini maybe against Hull and Arsenal if it is in 35?

    *DGW 37: Some decent options there but I guess most are playing their bench boost then?
