Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

The final double Gameweek side take to the pitch in Sunday’s late kick-off, with Crystal Palace making the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Fantasy managers will, of course, be focused on both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke in the Palace attack, with both commanding 144,000+ and 148,000 new Fantasy Premier League owners for Gameweek 34 respectively.

Benteke is skippered by 96214 (2.1%) of his owners as he bids to extend a run of three goals in his last four outings. He’ll face his former club in form, then, with Zaha and Andros Townsend tasked with providing him with the ammunition.

While Sam Allardyce’s side have every motivation to earn a third successive win at Anfield, Liverpool also have every incentive to claim a victory.

Their quest for a top spot and Champions League qualification goes on, with Fantasy managers focused on the efforts and output of Brazilian pair Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Coutinho has been signed by over 34,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 34, with Firmino earning 58,000+ new owners following his run of returns in six consecutive Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Can't believe I've got triple palace, plus Tekkers captain (Zaha and Hennessey the others). Though I'm sorry about the Rashford and Negredo punts not coming off for some, can't help but think this will end in tears haha

    1. Essan

      I have the same - and whilst I am glad I avoided Negredo and Rashford, I still I expect it to end in tears for me as well .....

        Same here! As a Pool fan I'm cheering for 3-2 to Pool! Coutinho hattie and Henn peno save. Benteke brace assisted by Zaha.

          Mate as long as Firmino isn't involved... ML rival has captained! Worried I haven't got Liverpool cover tbh! But I have to keep differentiating!!!!

        2. Individual

          YES MATE. Finally happening for us 🙂

    The FA cup semis ongoing now is boring

  6. Godot - Fashanu Zealand

    Benteke (C), let's see how this plays out..

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stand down, soldier.

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        At least he will outscore Rashford hehe 😉

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not looking a great captaincy choice for me.

          1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Slightly better than Negredo at least, Blind paid off at least

            1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              At least I didn't repeat myself, at least

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same fancy him to score

    3. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's gotta be better than my negredo (c) surely!?

  7. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Really need a cup gaol, can't be doing with extra time with Zaha and Coutinho about to start. Terrible planning 🙁

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Love him 😀

    WHY WOULD YOU REST RASHFORD YOU BUS PARKING SMUG IDIOT? HE'S 19 YEARS OLD!!

    1. Hibbo

      Sims was looking for you lad.

    2. Mr. Funny Name

      It worked didn't it?

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly quiet down, son.
      Accept the risks you take and stop this childish nonsense

  9. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Was going to bring Blind in aswell... if Cahill doesn't play or if He gets another clean sheet it won't have paid off as Mawson comes on for Rojo

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cech is awful. What was he doing?

  11. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    That was really poor keeping from cech after ageuros long touch

    1. gorilla
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      should have got that one. awful touch from aguero

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Heavy touch?

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry yes that

  12. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ospina, Martinez, Szczesny, Almunia and a 50 year old Seaman would have saved that.

  13. gorilla

    agueroooooo

    THE MAN HIMSELF

  15. diesel001

    Could use a Benteke blank here. Over 2/3rds of the Top 10k have captained one of Negredo, Rashford, Lukaku, Benteke, Sanchez, Aguero or Kane. With a Benteke blank it becomes a one game shootout.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      When you want it not to happen, it happens.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I agree.

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What a finish

  17. drughi
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha and firmino show is a ust now with the man utd CS

  18. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The best thing about have Tekkers (c) is knowing that many of the alternatives (Kaku, Neg, Rash) have already failed ...... So it cant be much worse ..... !

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Red card confirmed

    2. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, small mercies though. Had the armband on Blind until the last minute. Benteke guaranteed to blank now!

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fellow captainer.

      Yes but if he blanks today then we are back to square one against Rash, Neg, Aguero and Kane owners.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        *captainers.

        Although I should say I sound negative on Benteke because for me its was tight between him and Kane.

  19. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero is essential

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      For a rational manager - yes.But Pep hates him so no.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tell all the folk with Jesus wildcard teams even though he hasn't touched leather in months.

  20. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If Pep allows Aguero to leave he should be sacked

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Unbelievable striker.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You wonder if Pep ever watched him before he took over at City

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Oh, and lol at sellers, I tip him to be hishest scorer from now on

    3. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't care imo

    4. Ramboros
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why do people think he wants Agüero to leave?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Because he clearly prefers Jesus

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not saying he wants him to leave, just that he may cause him to

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus was starting when he got injured = rampant speculation

  21. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If pep drops kun for Jesus he wants a bullet

  22. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If u own benteke but didn't captain him u want him to do well right?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Of course. Only 10% captained him in Top 10K anyway.

    2. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes of course.

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. But trust me, Donkeyteke will return today

    4. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      We all love points Capt or not

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      As long as Firmino outscore a him. Yes

  23. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Wow this ref is garbage

  24. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I dropped Aguero for Negrado. I deserve every bit of punishment

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      One game shootout though. Negredo vs Sunderland and Aguero vs Utd.

    2. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I can see Pep starting Jesus on Thursday

      1. Alan_T
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I really can't.

    3. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Auger is 6m more expensive and both have a game to go with negredo playing the team bottom of the league

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      United will win 0-1.

  25. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero vs Boro
    Gabbi vs Hull

    Only one can be chosen oh god 🙁

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      One with pre-injury form, the other with form and history.

  26. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gotta drop my plan of getting Jesus on Wildcard. Probably just wait watch for a couple of gameweeks to see where he fits in.
    Sane looks a good option till that time.

  27. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What's arsene waiting for? Make some changes ffs

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Nevermind

  28. Alan_T
