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.

            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.
