Dugout Discussion

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.

    So much buzz on ffs about kane...
    Was he really in form last gw?
    Is he worth -4?

      If you can afford waiting I think you should

      Hit the bar and really should have scored a header. He may not be 100% match fit but Spurs will create so many chances against Bournemouth that it would be a major shock if he wasn't in the points

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A major shock!
        Ok thanks

    Free transfers used to bring in Kane and Holgate anything worth a hit? Any changes to the starting 11?

    Heaton
    Huth Holgate Valencia
    Sanchez Alli Coutinho Eriksen Sane
    (K)ane Lukaku

    Valdes Gibson Origi Stephens.

      Looks good

  3. Lav
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen, Coutinho, or Sane?

    I have Kane and Alli.
    Kane to Ibra for DGW34 then back to Kane could happen.

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

      Eriksen

  4. BALOOO

    Just came home and seen the score.... Arsenal plays Boro next

    *does Kane > Negredo(C) -4*

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years

      Alli ~> Traore(c) here

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

      Eriksen to DeRoon (C)

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

        And he may come off the bench in the second half to get his hat trick

    Save FT? 1.5 ITB.

    Foster - Grant
    Baines - Valencia - Davies - Robertson - Amat
    Alli - Eriksen - Sanchez - Siggy - T. Carroll
    Lukaku - Costa - A. Carroll

    Thanks!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years

      Costa -> Kane?

  6. Lawrø
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Evening chaps 🙂

    Only just seen the score... I assume there's a Sanchez mass exodus underway? What were the main takeaways from tonight?

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

      He's still the best Arsenal player worth owning.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not at that price. Doesn't say much for the rest of them. Consistently inconsistent.

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Does price even matter now, especially since Zaha and King are great options?

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            It does if you're wasting it in Sanchez while Zaha and King are getting points, King more consistently. Tom Davies also worth a mention. They could free up a lot of cash to give you much better options elsewhere.

            1. Moosie the Staggie
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              But I can pretty much afford anyone if I got Zaha and King.
              I'm not saying Sanchez is a great option, just that his price doesn't really matter if you have a high transfer value.

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

      Hes out in my WC

    3. BALOOO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      0FT, dont think its worth a hit to get rid of Alexis 🙂

    4. Misery Loves Kompany
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      To be honest I find the fire sale baffling... Kneejerk at it's finest.

      He's the top scorer in the game still, Arsenal have not one but two DGWs coming up where you'd think he'll be practically bolted on for 90 each game considering Arsenal now face a real fight for Champions League next year.

      He still looked bothered for most of tonight, just stunted in an otherwise awful Arsenal performance with little happening around him and a resolute palace defence that Arsenal haven't been the only ones to struggle with as of late.

      But hey, the more people that sell him the better for me when he next explodes, and it WILL come. Sanchez could be a virtual differential by the time his DGWs come round 😀

      1. Moosie the Staggie
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I see -4s and -8s from people looking to ditch him.
        I have more pressing needs than ditching him no matter Arsenals form

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

      So far he is not due a fall tonite- time to think

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

    WC attempt to save my mini leagues

    Hennessy - Pickford
    Vertonghen - Rojo - Stones - Barragan - Yoshinda
    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - Zaha - King
    Ibrahimovic - Kane - Negredo

    Negredo + Zaha would become Redmond and Gabbiadini for the DGW in 36/37

    Advice and ideas welcome 🙂

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

      This seems unpopular around here but I would want Lukaku in my team.

      Otherwise I think its good

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

        You keeping Lukaku until the end of the season?

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

          Yes.

          Might do Kane to Ibra then back to Kane, dont know yet.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I like the team. Negredo is a bit meh but I think he will start. Really like the midfield! Lukaku could hurt you but can't have everybody I guess.

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

        Cheers buddy! Negredo is dull but hopefully some returns before he swiftly moves on. Lukaku is the big sacrifice for Ibrahimovic and Kane.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Big ownership though, but good luck!

    3. Swansea Bloke
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looks awesome imo

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

        Thanks 🙂

    4. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How far are you behind? Having no Lukaku next week could be season ending! Top 10k effective ownership will probably be over 120%. I'd only go without if you were really desperate - otherwise I'd just keep the money in the bank to upgrade Lukaku --> Ibra after next week

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

        90 points but rival has no WC or BB.

        Yes, Lukaku in 33 then switch to Ibrahimovic in 34 sounds much better.

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe get Bailly & Stephens, and a better Boro def after presser. Tempt fate with Eriksen over Alexis and bump Negredo up to Tekkers maybe.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, Kuku over Ibra this week.

  8. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best time to WC?

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

      Anytime from now

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Would you do it with this team now?

        Grant
        Olsson Valencia McAuley
        Eriksen Sanchez King Alli
        Kaku Origi Kun

        Pickford Pieters Holebas Capoue

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

          That's a decent team, hold off for the DGW news

          1. For Fuchs Sake
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks, just want to get rid of Origi already 🙂

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

          Had a similar team and played it. Losing some ground and momentum thats why I played mine. Team maybe was a little better than yours too.

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero to lukaku for a hit .

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

      Yes

  10. HashAttack
    • 7 Years

    Waiting for subs to be added ... dumb that fpl updates the tables before adding subs and then updating everything again

  11. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Who should go out first (for ibra)
    A Vardy
    B Costa
    ?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy does have CL distraction, Costa wasn't good @BOU but luckily got 2 assists and is in the best side.

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Luck is good!

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

      A

    3. Rider on the Storm

  12. Tony Moon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Looking to get a Boro defender but 0.1 short for Gibson. What's the next best option? Chambers seems like a bit of a crock - Barragan any good? Not really been keeping tabs on who's started for them recently!

    Thanks.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Fabio will be back. Out 2 games because of concussion rules.

    2. MFC86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Barragan is ok the manager seems to like him so go for him if that's all you can afford. He doesn't offer enough attacking threat for me

      1. Tony Moon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers folks.

    Sanchez/Anichibe to De Roon/Kane for free ?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

      Yes

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

    Would you do Davies, Alexis, Carroll > 5.7 DEF, Townsend, Kane?

    Heaton (Robinson)
    Alonso - Baines - 5.7 (Brunt, Jones)
    Alli - Eriksen - Zaha - Townsend (Carroll)
    Ibra - Kane (C) - Lukaku

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

      For -4

      Townsend could be King as well.

    2. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not a chance! 😀

      Would that be on a 4pt or 8pt hit? 🙂

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

        Only the 4

        Scared to death by the hat-trick hungry demon called Hurrikane.

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Aye, I guess that's a judgement call you'll have to make - he'll certainly be my captain! 😀

          I can already see your rough with the smooth post... taking Sanchez(mid) and Davies(BOU) out to fund Kane(c)(-4) who starts on the bench... Arsenal bounce back with a resounding victory with Sanchez upfront and Davies gets a cleansheet with an assist!

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

            Yikes. That certainly gives some food for thought.

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't personally get rid of Alexis although it looks a good move overall. Prefer King to Townsend, one Palace mid is enough

  15. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    When should be arranged the next dgw?
    Gw 36 and gw37?

  16. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Crap can't do Costa to Kane 0.1 off! Is Kane worth a hit?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If yer capping certainly.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes of course.

  17. MartialMatas

    Heaton Pickford

    Do I just get rid of Brunt/ Pieters and carry the other FT to next week?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years

      Bailly?

  18. AF90

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Who are the best DGW Triple Captain options for the rest of the season?

    Just thinking if GW37 is best to use Bench Boost then it doesn't leave many other options with Sanchez in this form.

    Therefore is it best to use Triple Captain on Kane or Lukaku this GW?

    1. alexmj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ibra

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

      Ibra GW34

  19. F4L

    Thoughts on Fletcher - > Zaha??

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years

      Sanchez and Llorente to Zaha and Ibra? For - 4

  21. F4L

    Has Jarvish been on here with the next round of FPC?

  22. Moves like Dejagah

  23. Loker Joker

    Who would you rather have for the next 2 gameweeks:
    a) Sterling - SOU (A), MUN (H)
    b) Siggy - WAT (A), STO (H)

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

      Siggy

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B but you're buying a cold stock atm, risky.

      1. Loker Joker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'm actually thinking which one to drop for zaha

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Probably Sterling. At least with Siggy you know he's nailed and on everything, fixtures okay, SWA just need to score a few.

          1. Loker Joker
            • 8 Years

            Makes sense to me. Cheers (:

    1. NestorC

      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nop, and just got Davies for Brunt

    2. Jigger & Pony

      Choosing between Bavies and Walker.

    1. Jigger & Pony
