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.

    Would you King > Zaha (-4) this week or do Son > Zaha for free next week? King plays (tot) while Zaha plays (LEI) so hit may pay off.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd rather King than Zaha.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus why sell king? Agree with epic

        Zaha was great tonight, but has terrible fixtures after this following GW...

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          This fixture looked terrible before..

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Did it? Have you seen arsenal of late 😉

          It's the -4 selling one hot player for another. Zaha has done well against two top half opponents lately (Chelsea, Arsenal), but I would not sell someone who scores a goal a game for another who scores well every other game. For DGW34, it would be tempting.

      3. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys. Very clear.

  2. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha just lost 8 BPS. Wow. Still, 80 points for the GW. Happy enough. . .

  3. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia siggy Sanchez Origi
    To
    Yoshida zaha hazard Kane

    (-8)
    Yay or nay?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      kane and hazard are good choices yes, but going -8

  4. Guvnor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looking for a bit of input

    A)
    Walker > Vert
    Sanchez > Zaha
    Barnes > Kane
    for -4

    B)
    Sanchez > Zaha
    Carroll > Kane

    C)
    Brunt > Collins
    Sanchez > Zaha
    Barnes > Kane
    for -4

    Option A, B or C?

    1. Visionaries
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm tempted to do B myself but Carroll has a great fixture

      1. Guvnor
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah i reckon he manages to get something against sunderland

    2. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C) but not collins. Holgate? Stephens? Yoshida? Robertson? Benalouane?

      1. Guvnor
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Currently got Yoshida already. Robertson an option

  5. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm actually leaning 50/50 towards selling King over Siggy for Zaha....

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    65 points all out

  7. rogerbarton
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed.

    Kyle Walker & Diego Costa > Kane & Gibson for -4? (Yep, got 3 Spurs)

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good, yeah.

  8. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    To save money to get Ibra for DGW34 I need to do one of:

    A) Baines > Holgate
    B) Baines > Barragan
    C) Lanzini > Zaha

    B and C mean an extra transfer later, but I also get an extra DGW player. Already have Valdes.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C easily

  9. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy to Zaha a no brainer?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hold Siggy again?

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not this week.

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Watford away vs Leicester at home?

    3. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Already did that last night, so bit of a tease watching that tonight.

    With 2 frees
    Vardy to Kane (have BDavies Eriksen and Alli) and

    A Eriksen to Zaha or
    B BDavies to Holgate

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

      A

  11. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Well that was a mad week. I had all of Valencia Walker and Carroll as no shows and put Coutinho last on my bench due to his illness. I finished up with 89(-4) after auto subs. I'll put that down to a lucky week I think.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I had them too, sadly my bench is ndidi, bertie, benalouane 🙁

    2. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same 3 for me and got McAuley, Defoe and Pieters coming on - great

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wenger making sure the best players also leave in the Summer to hinder his replacement?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Luckily LvG aint that picky...

  13. Mateja
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez -> Lingard and Deeney/Llorente -> Kane for -4 ? does it worth ?
    Rest of the team
    Lloris(Jaku)
    Alonso-Valencia-Olsson(Brunt,Gibson)
    Sanchez-Firmino-Ali-Hazard(Morrison)
    Lukaku-Deeney-Llorente

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You selling Carrol vs Sunderland? Why?

  16. John wick

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hopehope AW has little brains now
    1.not qualifying ck

  17. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Furious at Wenger, gonna force my to break my not hit sentiment. Strongly considering Hazard in for a hit.

  18. Carcetti
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    You guys getting rid of Sanchez?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No.

      You?

      1. Carcetti
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe..

        Sanchez or Aguero for me.

    2. Blunt master general
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly. Could backfire, though

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I feel like taking about a -20 Team is a mess.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No Wildcard left!?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly not.

  20. Lazerball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A. Sanchez Siggy Barnes to Kane Zaha Townsend for -4 (this will provide a benching headache)
    Or
    B Sanchez Barnes to Kane Milivojevic

  21. The Legend Squad

    Open ended here, would appreciate help:

    Grant Jaku
    Alonso Valencia Gibson Evans Amat
    Alli Coutinho Siggy Zaha Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Vardy

    What would you do? Looking to capitalise on DGW34

  22. CloudSky
    • 9 Years

    SCOUT: Sanchez the only player in the top

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      SCOUT: Sanchez the only player in the top 10 captain picks to start & fail to return points. It's just 1 goal & 1 assist in his last 5 GWs.*

      1. Ravager

        Someone had to mess up the good vibes this weekend

  23. Pooodle
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard - yes or no?

    Current team:

    FOSTER, Pickford
    WALKER, PIETERS, VALENCIA, MCAULEY, Alonso
    SIGURDSSON, Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, King
    CARROLL, DEFOE, Lukaku

    WC team:

    VALDES, Pickford
    ALDERWEIRELD, HOLGATE, YOSHIDA, GIBSON, Alonso
    ZAHA, Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, King
    BENTEKE, IBRA, Lukaku

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's ok but don't think u need double palace. They play Liverpool and spurs in the double, most likely only get returns vs liverpool imo. Take benteke out for someone origi maybe?

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - think I would go double Palace for the double but then be looking to get one of them out fairly quickly afterwards. They also have decent fixtures over the next 3 GWs.

        The alternative would be to do something like Defoe out for Benteke this week and use my 2nd FT on a defensive switch...

  24. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Keep seeing people say Zaha has bad fixtures... how is that the case?

    LEI, TOT + liv, BUR

    They've just beaten Chelsea and Arsenal. Liverpool defence is atrocious. Leicester with their mind on Champs league and just shipped 4 goals away. Burnley away are Burnley away. Spurs is obviously tricky but as we have just seen, they get right up for London derbies at home. Am I missing something?

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      When u consider he has a dgw sandwiched between two great fixtures I think he actually has one of the best run of fixtures in the league u dig?

    2. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They'll definitely not do well against spurs, but the rest I agree. All depends on leicester getting through though

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why Leicester leaky away from home regardless

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was thinking this yesterday before this result

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      completely agree.

      Form, fixtures, cheap.

      Not claiming he will surely outscores the big hitters, but at that price I feel he could be very good value.

    5. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Palace v Liverpool will be monster score I reckon. 3-4 Palace, coutinho brace.

  25. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha 11 points / Coutinho 8 points ... I can finally feel good about benching Cou 🙂

  26. Pasqualinho
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Average just shot up 3 points to 71 - must mean autosubs have been included.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Top 10k that is. Sorry if I scared some people.

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      average 71 points !!! wow

  27. Visionaries
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez is pretty much done for me. Can't justify that price

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm torn as leading my Cash ML and closest chasers have him - he's surviving because of his 2 dgw's later in the season but a line has to be drawn somewhere on these performances.

  28. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need help about this one

    Siggy to

    A) Zaha
    B) King
    C) Cout

    Cheers

    1. Lazerball
      • 9 Years

      A

  29. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Surely makes no sense to get Hazard in when he goes to Old Trafford, while Arsenal go to Boro

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You think Arsenal will score away to Boro 😆

  30. Crow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like 95 with 1 blanker-alexis.

    ALEXIS YOU
