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.

    was planning to get Zaha for his dgw , now considering to do Siggy > Zaha (-8) one week earlier...should I ? (gonna get him anyway just a matter of time)

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years

      Yeah

    2. The Dynamics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you're going to do it anyway, do it.

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

      1 week earlier is a risk
      -8 is a big risk!

        Tempting thanks!
        That means i'll need a hit to get ibra for gw34

  5. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    RP. Thoughts?

    A) Siggy to Zaha this GW, Costa to Ibra next GW. Kaku (C).
    B) Eriksen & Costa --> Zaha & Kane (c) (-4)

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

      B

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years

      B

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Surprised by B. Surely A is more sensible?

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

        Sensible's no fun.

    Tough, tough decisions this week!

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed Andy. For me it is between Kane and Ibra. And for you?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez + Crouch to Zaha + Kane

        or

        GW33 - Ibra to Kane, GW34 - Lukaku to Ibra

        or

        Ignore Kane and so Sigurddson + Crouch to Zaha + Benteke and bench King this week

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

          Tough tough

        2. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I like the first one. Those transfers really are up to date. Can't see Sanchez being any good value honestly.

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed:

    A - Bavies Valencia Sane +8
    or
    B - Rojo Yoshida Eriksen

    Cheers HG for your reply

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hard to believe there's only 6x GWs left... Less and less time for hits to justify themselves? Or more and more important to urgently shift non-performers with not many games left for them to regain form?

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

      Not many gonna regain form this late. No more Vidukas 😉

  9. Four Four Boyz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Two abysmal weeks. Wildcard time. Who's in? This is my current WC:

    Pickford - Hennessy

    Alonso - Rojo - Clyne - Gibson - Yoshida

    Hazard - Alli - Eriksen - Zaha - King

    Ibra - Kane - Anichebe

    GTG?

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      1.3M in the bank for a rainy day

    2. Ryan Naysmith
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      yeah but think of alternatives for Clyne... double middlesborough or look at Everton, jags ? holgate ?

      1. Four Four Boyz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks guess I am letting the fixtures cloud my judgement. Not a huge amount of defensive options out there...Holgate and bench could be good.

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

      I wouldnt go with clyne but the rest is strong for the next 2 gw

      1. Four Four Boyz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, downgrading him gives me a nice bit of pocket money too.

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

    Bottomed; What about this WC draft? No Ibra tho..

    Valdes Pickford
    Alonso Bailly Davies Yoshida Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Firmino Zaha
    Kaku Kane Anichebe

  11. bulbuf

    bench king or costa? or transfer costa to ibra/kane for -4?

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

      Costa to Kane imo

    2. 1314
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I did the latter

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

    Hey, hope all of you did well this GW, a mediocre 71 here.

    Anyway, barring Sanchez, who i've decided to keep, anything worth changing here?

    Heaton
    Baines - Valencia - Gibson
    Coutinho - Eriksen - Sanchez - Alli - Sane
    Kane - Lukaku
    __________________________________
    Jakupovic: Barnes, Stephens, Muniesa

    Can do either forward to Ibra and then change back again DGW 34.

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Eerily similar to my team and I got around the same in points with 77, nothing worth changing imo, looks good, Ibra has Chelsea where as Kane and Lukaku have juicy home fixtures, would leave him this gameweek.

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

        Thanks for your reply, cool, it contains a nice balance of players we have then, just a case of chopping and changing here and there for the DGW's to come.
        Yep, cheers man, agreed think i'll leave it this week then, all set for this weekend 🙂

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Starting Valencia and Holgate, please start one of these three to complete my back 3

    A) Stephens
    B) Gibson
    C) Huth

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

      Has to be Huth

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mirrors my thinking, hopefully the can keep out Zaha and co or he gets attacking returns, preferably both.

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

          Yeah, palace won't play Arsenal every week haha! Would be just like Huth to score in a tie like that as well.

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

    Blanked from previous page:

    A) Origi & Sanchez -> Kane & Walcott
    B) Origi, Sanchez & Heaton -> Kane, Coutinho, Valdes (-4)
    C) Other

    Heaton, Jaku
    Luiz, Valencia, Pieters, Evans, Amat
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, De Roon
    Ibra, Lukaku, Origi

    2FT £2m ITB

    Cheers!

    1. The Dynamics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      D.) Origi & Sanchez --> Kane and Zaha

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

        Leaves a lot of excess £. Do you think Zaha will outscore Coutinho by more than 4 points in next two GWs?

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

          Other way around sorry, Coutinho outscore Zaha by more than 4 points?

          1. The Dynamics
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Nope. I don't think so. Zaha has a good(ish) next fixture and a double. It's unlikely. And he is in excellent form.

            And remember, £££ is just a means of getting points. If an expensive player is not providing points, and a cheap player is, then so for the cheap player every time. You can use that money in the future for other players.

            For example, I got 89 points this GW with 8.3M in the bank. Last 2 GW I did very well too. It's because I sold Sanchez for Son. And made cheap investments in defence.

  15. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Maybe I'm just a disillusioned Arsenal fan but I'm actually considering Sanchez & Llorente - > Zaha & Kane.

    Sanchez has already mentally packed his bags imo

    1. The Dynamics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Completely agree. I assume that you watched the match today. He was timid and distant. He didn't want to attack. I'm most definiately transferring him out for Zaha or someone else this GW

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

      He's going to really explode soon, and not in a good way.

  16. brenks
    • 7 Years

    DDG Jaku
    Walker Valencia McAuley Robertson Stephens
    Sanchez Alli Coutinho Barkley Zaha
    Ibra Lukaku Barnes

    2FT 0.1ITB

    Any better move(s) than McAuley>Holgate?

  17. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best two defenders for 8.9mil? Currently on Rojo and Yoshi

    1. The Dynamics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Gibson is a good option too. Trust me. He'll get good points GW 34 for his double GW

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

      Rojo and Yoshi 8.9??????
      Can I get access to your list of prices please

      Why are people buying holgate?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        4m and Burnley

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Surely a DGW option is called for.

          Everton poor at the back. Robles is awful.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      alexis out imo;

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      For me your defence is far too weak.

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

      Sanchez to King and upgrade the defence.

  19. wulfrunian

    Prediction for Southampton-Man city?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      2-2

    2. 1314

      1-2

    3. Moosie the Staggie

      1-3

  20. Legomane

    Any suggestions? I'm slightly terrified of not owning (and captaining) Kane this week...
    Cheers.

  21. Jereme Halliday

    my ML leader with a 50 point lead, still catchable? i still have my TC in tact

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

      Yes. Cover his picks and don't gamble on captain. There will be enough DGW diffs to find to overtake him, Zaha, double Mid defence etc

      1. Jereme Halliday
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        cheers!

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

    Kane and Yoshida -4 worth it replacing Costa be McAuley?

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

      And

    2. The Dynamics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I like the Costa for Kane. Yoshinda is a good player but consider getting a double GW defender? Bailey (manU), gibson (Boro) and Sako (palace) are all excellent, cheap options.

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

        Not Sakho, he doesn't have a dgw34

        1. Pigeon

          Yes he does

            • 12 Years

            No he doesnt

            1. Moosie the Staggie
              • 12 Years

  23. F4L

    Defence is Alonso Rojo Yoshi Brunt *Chambers, who the hell do I play? Still got the AOA chip, with King chilling on the bench if needed

  24. Kun Tozser

    -8 crazy?

    Walker, Sanchez, Vardy, Barnes

        1. FF Dirtbag

      At least you have saved a transfer over most others 🙁

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years

        Yep, thats a good point ha, I think the Sanchez captain has doubled the pain.

    2. Mr. Funny Name

      Lol @ Danno

      1. Mr. Funny Name

        Jk his fixtures haven't been great tbf, just the way it goes

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It's that ole problem fixtures over form

    Is Barragan nailed?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years

      No.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years

        damm

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

      Chambers if fit misses ARS, Fabio should be back, concussion and he's past the 7-day minimum ruling.

  28. Zebras
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender for next few gws?

    I've currently got:
    Alonso Valencia Mawson Bavies Gibson

  29. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Grant Pickford
    Alonso Baines Brunt Chambers Amat
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy Fletcher
    Kane Lukaku Llorente

    1FT and 2.4 Mill in the bank.

    A) Fletcher - > Zaha
    B) Llorente - > Benteke
    Ć) Sanchez and Llorente - > Zaha and Ibra (-4)
    D) Any other ideas?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      c

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

    Walcott to Zaha for a hit.
    Has to be yes hasn't it?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      yep

    2. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not for a hit
