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.

    Hard to see many clean sheets nxt gw apart from spurs Ben Davies I have Valencia if he starts and Alonso.

    Would I be mad to be considering Mawson v Watford?? I also have Siggy ,no returns and he's out. Done Vardy to Kane for my ft already.

      I think Brunt could get points against Liverpool. WBA solid home team and deadly on set pieces, Liverpool shaky defense.

      Big Andy making way for Harry. Townsend would replace Sane, Zaha would replace Sanchez.

      Any advice for this front 8?

      Sanchez - Sane - Sigurdsson - King - Carroll
      Aguero - Costa - Lukaku

      2FT, 1.3 ITB

      A) Costa --> Benteke, Sane --> Alli
      B) Same but with Siggy to Alli
      C) Siggy --> Zaha, Sane --> Alli
      D) Sanchez --> Alli
      E) Sanchez --> Alli plus another move (insert suggestion here!)

      Last night I was leaning towards A, but after today's Arsenal performance I'm not sure I want Alexis much longer...

              I mean, I definitely want Alli and it's not an issue since I want 2 free transfers. The only question is which other transfer to make to facilitate the move? (or even whether to take Sanchez out for Alli)

            Just drop Eden (for now) to a cheap 5th mid and do Anichebe to Zlatan. If you need extra funds, you could get Hennessey with the DGW for Heaton who has no DGWs.

        GW37 will be the big one, yes.

        GW34 will have doubles.

        Then either GW35 or GW36 will have two teams involved in a double.

          3-5-2 lately. At least NDiaye will get 90. Berahino has limited Crouch quite a bit.

          My luck is Sanchez will finally explode if I do that. But yeah, seriously considering that, too.

      One more time before price changes:

      Sanchez - Sane - Sigurdsson - King - Carroll
      Aguero - Costa - Lukaku

      2FT, 1.3 ITB

      A) Costa --> Benteke, Sane --> Alli
      B) Same but with Siggy to Alli
      C) Siggy --> Zaha, Sane --> Alli
      D) Sanchez --> Alli
      E) Sanchez --> Alli plus another move (insert suggestion here!)

      Last night I was leaning towards A, but after today's Arsenal performance I'm not sure I want Alexis much longer...
