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.

    Sakho FC. Sit down Alexis.

      Klopp needs to swallow his pride

  2. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Sakho saved that with his arm

    Sakho blocking a Sanchez goal, with his hand.

    so close for sanchez, sakho with a block

      with his hand

    This game needs a Xhaka bullet

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Two footer?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        He is famous for two things..right

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          His left and right foot as they fly into opponents shins

          1. Guvnor
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            Looool

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    They all just look for Sanchez when attacking but him being on the wing buggers the attack up

  7. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Townsend close.

  8. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    The way Sakho has his foot on every Arsenal attackers neck. Poor Flopp.

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Point for Townsend!

  10. vectorman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Terrible fixtures they might have generally Palace but you gotta say they fight like beavers back there.. Regret not getting in a Palace defender on my WC

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Would love it if PvA was fit

  11. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Sakho really is class

  12. 824545201
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Zaha or King the better option?

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I got both, bargain midfielders the pair of them 🙂

    2. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Get both

    3. :
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Zaha for the next couple of GWs I'd imagine.

    4. Moses _H
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      king

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    As an FPL manager you have to adapt

    Sanchez wrong position, bad form, get rid imo

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Always has a way of punishing sellers though

    2. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      It would hurt too much.

    3. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      When that DGW rolls round you might change your mind.. 😉

    4. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Still looks the most threatening player so far

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Get rid and he'll punish you straight away and probably move to forward position lol

    6. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Just takes a DGW triple captain Sanchez from a rival and you could be looking at a 100point swing

    7. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      2 DGWs in next 5

  14. Jedi_Reed
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Main ML rival has Valencia and Walker, with Zaha and Snoddy coming off bench. I have Brunt. Not good.

    1. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      He played 5 at the back? Otherwise defenders come in first...

      1. Jedi_Reed
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Fair point. Played 4 at the back with Zaha coming in. Caceres is his 5th defender, for some strange reason.

    2. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      So he played 5 defenders?

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Mustafi is as slow as Mertesacker

  16. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Palace looking good I must say, despite fixtures I might add some more palace players to my team. Zaha already in, benteke or townsend might get the nodd

  17. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Ozil playing way too deep here. Actually think they need to switch to a proper 4-4-2

  18. Doar1986
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    When are people WC, are all the fixtures on the website now or there some extra pending ones?

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      oh dear

      1. Doar1986
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        thats helpful

  19. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Jonathan Benteke owned by 0.4%.
    I wonder do they cheer when Christian scores, thinking they've got points?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Christian doesn't score that much so I don't think it really matters.

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        2 in his last 2 not terrible.
        Also got 4 in 6 for me earlier in the season.

    2. Teahupo'o
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Happened to me with the Bournemouth Smiths earlier this season. At least the Bentekes have their first names in the transfers page.

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Ah disaster, that one's a lot easier to do though. You'd have to think you were getting a crazy bargain, Benteke for 4.3m, and such a differential too!

        1. Teahupo'o
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          I was. It was in the first gw, when I was looking for cheapies. My fault, but inexcusable to not have at least their first initials there. Brad Smith remained bench fodder for months.

      My mate had Suarez hatrick in a barca game a while bk. When he was hearing the pings on his fone for the Suarez goals he was over the moon. Only it was Denis Suarez!!! You should have seen his face . Lol

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Madness. What happened then?

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Would rather own Jonathan

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        It was a bet I should have said. Would have been a nice return too.

  20. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Can't say Sanchez isn't trying today.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Trying too much in a way that doesn't benefit FPL though 🙁

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      He almost always is. Sadly it doesnt necesarrily translate into fpl points.

    3. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 2 days ago

      I'm happy for others to get rid of sanchez. It will make him more of a diff when he does produce. Wenger will have to play him up front soon, surely!!!!!

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Wish I could say they will be playing Rovers 🙁

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      It's a bit 80's New Wave 🙂

    2. We Will Klopp you

  25. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Son + Vardy > Zaha + Kane -4?

  26. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Bellerin and Elneny look like Wii Miis

  27. Dele
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Time for Sanchez out he's had his time.

    Those 3 heavy hitters up top will look perfect.

  28. rashFord Fiesta

    what happened to Friday night football? I thought there was supposed to be 10 Friday night fixtures this season but only remember maybe 3

    1. Owusu90
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      West Ham vs Spurs GW35. Think it flopped on viewing figures in general.

  29. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Zaha on my bench as first sub . Need a rule change tonight for his points .
