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.

      Don't even care about the points Tekkers got me but he is a hero.

      Good chance for a top 4 spot for us now. Just hope Martial does his job like he did today...

      I wish I tripple captained Benteke. In a gameweek where many tripple captained Negredo and Rashford.

        He's just not good enough. How many niggles has he had since he joined us? The man is made of cream crackers

        Clyne can't even cross.

        Somehow Liverpool will miss top 4 at this rate.

    6. Mark-O

      So Cabaye was better than Zaha...

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

        Townsend

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

      Right come on Townsend. Get that screamer on target!

    8. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha over Townsend 2 weeks ago was such a fail. One game to go though 🙄

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

      There goes my Zaha 🙁

    10. La Roja

      Lucas vs Tekkers

      This could get ugly

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

      People should listen to Mark:

      1) Rashford will be rested for Burnley.

      2) Benteke has a 20-pointer in him.

      1. Ravager

        When did he say this? I must have missed that.

        you seem to have a bit of brown on your nose... did you know?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Did you listen to him 2 weeks ago when he took Son out?

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

        Mark said captain Kane - exactly my thoughts, but captained Benteke. I still believe in Kane)

    12. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So negredo optimistic people, do you still think we made the right choice ?

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

        He needs 2 against Sunderland so who knows

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think he would get 2. I think benteke has outscored him handsomely.

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

        no but at least i have benteke too

      3. Hakuho FPL
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        no

      4. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Probably not.

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

        Nope. Benteke was the correct choice this week. Damn.

      6. Harper (No more Penandes)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No but Negredo was all I could afford

      7. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Of course not. We are a bunch of f@@king imbeciles.

      9. MTPockets
          7 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho slowly losing his baps 🙁

      14. Jakarta
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Feels a bit odd to have a grand total of 4 points at the end of the weekend.

      15. Geri-hatricks
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Townsend robbed of the assist 🙁

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Ridiculous

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

        Should have captained benteke 🙁

        1. makaveli123

          same but happy with kane captain

        Fantasy lesson for me this year - form over fixtures

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          We don't learn, do we?

        2. Ravager
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Definitely

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

          Not sure about that. Can't discount fixtures. Pool was never a bad fixture for Benteke for example. Plus keeping poll mids for their good fixtures when others have moved for form others has works.

      18. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Origi to Tekkers for free looks to have been the best move I could have made. Well done me.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Captain tekkers. No hits. Ignored palace mids. Simple. Finally the season is turning for me. Inside the top 1M and gonna climb climb climb la la la

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

            Benteke (C), went slightly made on the mids though. Still another game to go.

          2. nkhoughton
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Nicely done, I had to sort out defence problems or I'd of joined you

      19. Guvnor

        *travels back in time*
        *Kaku > Benteke*

      20. rivercityransom
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        benteke owners, are we captaining him against burnley in 35 over kane?

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

          May go Kane instead, depends on the game Wednesday I spose

        2. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You're not playing the game together.

        3. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Chasers like me may look at Rashford that week

          • 7 Years

          Nah

        Another fall for me.

        Disgusting that Liverpool defenders didn't get the memo.

        Such crap defending. Jammy goals for Benteke.

        Once again, FPL ruins another Sunday 😆

        I deserve everything I get for going for Negredo/Gibson over Benteke/Blind.

        Sickening.
