Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

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.

        Cool .. it works!

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Leicester (H) Liverpool (a) Tottenham (H) Burnley (H)

    These are not ideal fixtures, but how on Earth are they labelled by some as "terrible"?!

    Leicester are focused on their Atletico games, can see Palace extending their home run against them.
    Liverpool? Yes, Palace will probably concede, but this is still a great fixture for attackers. Always been, at least for the last few years.
    And then they have Burnley at home, no explanation needed.

    Is Davies now nailed for Everton for the season ?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think so. He keeps playing well

    2. Carlton P

      Defo, can't see front 6 changing, maybe miralles

  3. wulfrunian

    One of my plans was Siggy+Barnes->Zaha+Ibra
    but i did Coutinho+Barnes->Sanchez+Origi.
    Madness to do Sanchez+Origi+Siggy->Coutinho+Zaha+Ibra/Kane(-8)?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did Mcauley + Vardy to Barragan and Kane for -4 and not thinking Sanchez to Coutinho or Hazard for another -4, so no not madness... necessity

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        now thinking*

  4. Carlton P
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez + anichebe > zaha + Kane -4, saves me jigging around with kun
    Will require using aka and rotating with zaha + King tho

  5. Sergeant Garcia
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hits galore! ^^ But I am too tempted by Hazard. He seems to perform especially in the big games!

    1. Astronautovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes he is the man for the big games

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years

      Haz not known for away games... add that it is United and Jose doesn't want to lose to his old club

    King or Siggy -> Townsend?

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Neither IMO

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ugh..none. king a season keeper ...regardless of no DGW

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Townsend??? One hit wonder at best

  8. stat
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A) Vardy -> Kane, Origi -> Anichebe
      Play Sanchez vs mid, then in the next GW:
      Sanchez -> Davies, Anichebe -> Ibra

      B) Vardy -> Kane, Sanchez -> Davies
      Play Davies vs BUR, then in the next GW:
      Origi> Ibra

      If I go with A then I spend an extra 4 pts on transfers but can play Sanchez away to Boro. If I go with B then I save those 4 pts and play Davies at home to Burnley this GW.

      Leaning towards B, thoughts?

    • Henning
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hmmm any defender other than Gibson that is nailed for boro

    • Carcetti
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It comes down to Sanchez or Aguero for me..

      Who would you go for?

      1. Guvnor
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Kun erday

      2. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I have both and I can tell you who's scoring points.

      3. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        The one who doesn't play for a team in free fall.

      4. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        it depends on who are there replacements

        you could manage with Lukaku Costa Kane Ibra and Vardy as premium options

        Premium options in midfield are less promiment

        Theres Hazard Alli/Firm Alexis and Couts/Firm worth having

        Imo you could probably benefit more by dropping kun even if in form

    • Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Do ya think Kelly is nailed going forward?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        When is PVA due back?

      2. Astronautovic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think if tomkins/ dann is fit then ward takes kellys place

    • martyhan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      On WC

      A. Vertogen Bailly and Deroon
      Or
      B. Davies Cedric and Zaha

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        B

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        B until Rose is back.

    • Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So now I don't have to worry about getting Walcott

      33 Ibra>Kane FT
      34 Kun>Ibra FT

      Yes or no?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Walcott needs to move. No

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          No to Ibra to Kane for free for 1 week?

      2. gforce85
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Just do kun to Jane and save your 4 points

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It's not 4 pts. It's free and I want Kun against Southampton defence

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Southampton are resilient though, one goal at best for aguero, if that

    • HazardAGuess
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Repost. Already on a -4 to sneak Kane in.

      Sanchez probably dropping like a stone this week. Surely it's madness to do Sanchez > Hazard for an additional -4? It'll mean when I WC I can have both.

      Thoughts?

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Step away from the computer...

        1. HazardAGuess
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Love a hit I do.

          1. Sergeant Garcia
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Personally I'm considering it for a -4.
            Arsenal is ill, and Hazard is thriving in the big games...

    • Wild Rover

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years

          They got rid to employ Steve Kean, never going back as long as they are in charge. Scum

    • MartialMatas

      What should I do with this team?

      Heaton Pickford
      Alonso Valencia Brunt Pieters Robertson
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy TCarroll
      Ibra Lukaku Benteke

      1. Sims

        Siggy to Zaha and brunt to Gibson maybe gives u two decent dgwers u dig?

    • Spursfan9
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Want to get Kane into my team before the inevitable influx and price rise.

      What do people think of;

      Aguero -> Kane this week
      Lukaku -> Aguero following week

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Bonkers

        1. Spursfan9
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Reasons? I'm keen to keep Lukaku for the Burnley fixture, but I think he'll start to cool off after that. I can see Aguero and Kane both scoring more than Lukaku with their respective run ins.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            You are using two transfers to lose Aguero then get him back again. Just keep him

            1. Spursfan9
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I want Kane for this weekend against Bournemouth, and don't want to sacrifice Lukaku for the Burnley game. Can see Aguero blanking, and Kane netting a brace. Of course if Kane doesn't score then it will have backfired, but think it could be a gamble that pay's off. I've also set my team up for the next few GW's so no necessarily worried about using up the two free transfers.

    • Guvnor
      • 7 Years

      King vs Zaha?

      Ward Prowse springs to mind.

      How did tekkers look today?

      Llorente -> Benteke for FT?

      Or save/go for Zaha?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He looked ok.

        Much rather Zaha

        1. MGD
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks man!

          Can't really field Zaha if I don't want to take a hit.

          Midfield:

          Sane, Tadic, Son, Alli, De roon

      2. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Benteke was horrible I thought but I'm in the minority. I'd still get him though he is still a decent enough prospectus dig?

        3. Wild Rover

    • ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      Why is PL taking so long to get gw35/36/37 info out there.

      I'd like Arsenal dgw's in 36 and 37 to give me an option of shifting Sanchez to Haz and buy back later.

        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Always said trippier is a better defender.. As much as I like walker he sometimes forgets how to defend. If trippier gets benched after his MOM performance at weekend then sury he has to question his future at my wonderful club

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Walker is a better defender.

          Both are decent, but walker's lapses have become much less frequent last 2 seasons.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 15 Years
