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.

      Do you play 4-4-2, or play one of N'Diaye and Crouch every week?

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

          Not ideal either way, I'd second Anish's suggestion of Sanchez to Zaha and Crouch to Kane

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

    Costa going down tonight and Kane up again later this week.

    Costa > Kane tonight? I have a second FT in case I need to make a change somewhere else later in the week

      Costa was at -104 last night too and he didn't drop - I think there are a few people bringing him in as well.

    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...
