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.

      Don't think you need to. Get rid of Walcott and you're looking ok. Then you just need to think about if you want Kane/Ibra.

          Then hold FT this week, and do the moves GW34

          Need your opinion on my current team: 1FT, 1.7 itb

          Pickford
          Holebas Alonso Davies
          Sanchez King Tadic Alli
          Aguero Origi Lukaku

          subs: Mignolet Valencia DeRoon Amat

          save FT?

            Strong squad, I like the save as gives you options next week. I'd assume you would have similar targets to the ones you suggested. I'd be tempted Tadic > Eriksen if you can scrape it, but there goes your 3rd Spurs slot.

    Hi all 🙂

    2 FT this week and I've already brought Zaha in for Antonio.

    Looking for ways to get Kane in without dumping Lukaku just yet.

    Alli Sanchez Zaha Siggy de Roon
    Ibra Llorente Lukaku

    Which would you do?
    1) Llorente + Sanchez = Kane and Coutinho (0.0 ITB)
    2) Ibra --> Kane (then Lukaku to Ibra in 34)
    3) Suck it up and just do Lukaku --> Kane this week.
