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.

    6. Tansey
      • 9 Years

      I'm on my Wildcard so I'm going Yoshida, Tadic, Gabbi

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

        But if you were just using a FT to get one, I would say Tadic

        1. ignis88
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          not sure he's worth it with all the midfield options?

  2. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Messi hasn't touched them all yet

    1. La Roja

    Thinking of WC now to this. May wait a week for 36
    Any thoughts??

    Cech Pickford
    Alonso Vert Stones Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Sane Alli Capoue
    Kane Gabbi Jesus

    May keep Benteke for next fixture and get Liverpool mid until 37 and go for dgwer

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

      In all honesty, its a bit meh.
      Stones? Jesus? Capoue?

        Yea, some ' up in the air players ' in there who have potential but aren't nailed p/returning from injury
        Cheers for reply

      Great WC template, although not sure about Arsenal clean sheets from Cech

    3. Garlana

      I found putting Anichebe up top made things alot easier

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

        Triple Southampton seems the way to go imo

      Although they don't have a DGW Bournemouth have the easiest fixtures. King or Daniels could be useful

  4. leocarter27

    Evening all can i get opinions on this please? If there are no injuries to my players would

    Lukaku and Zaha out

    Kane and Hazard in -4 be worth it?

    Thanks

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years

      Excellent transfers

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

      Yes

    3. Fantasy-Lasse
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt sell Zaha, he might be lethal against Burnley

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

        This. But if you have no one else to sacrifice, is say they are still good transfers

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

          If you wanna take the risk. Otherwise just Kane

    Real match is a must watch on Bein Sport for Ray Hudson's commentary alone.....already described Barcelona's defending "as a nlind dog in a meat house"

      Some of the stuff he comes out with is golden

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

    Did the commentator just call him CR7?

    Pukes

  7. HurriKane
    • 11 Years

    Benteke owners are you slightly dissapointed you didnt captain him?

    Went wirh Kane (C) here. hope be gets a goal atleast

    1. smitchlovesfunk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did captain him

    2. King Megnus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why do you assume that Benteke owners didn't captain him? I did and I am very happy 🙂

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

        Because I capped Kane

    3. ignis88
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

    How come Coutinho bounced down from 2BPS to 0 one hour after the game? How can Winajldum be over him. Frustrated

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years

      Shots off target and losing the ball to the opposition

    Any one going with two premium keepers for a BB in DGW37 ? Man U, Spurs, Chelsea or Arsenal ?

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

      One premium + Pickford.

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

        This

        1. *sigh*
          • 12 Years

          That

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

      Prob not due to budget, Cech and Pickford maybe

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

      No BB but not a bad idea

    4. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pickford and another should be fine

    5. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I was looking at Cech + Courtois

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

      Don't see the point(s)

  11. CloudSky
    • 7 Years

    Thinking of doing Llorente to Rashford for next week?

    Any reason not to do it?

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

      Rashford may not start against Swansea....

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

      Game time for Rashford?

    3. Fantasy-Lasse
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      might start from the bench

    Wow nvr seen it coming. Girl 50 odd points behind me in ML gained on me last nite without me noticing with Daniels 14 points and wait for it . . Triple capt benteke . 64 points . Just passed me out. I am fuming.

    1. Wild Rover

      Sexist

      1. Wild Rover

        Not sexiest at all. Just disgusted I let it happen man or woman. Fair play to her tho.

        How in the name of God did I think Negredo was better pick than benteke. What happens a man's brain sometimes.

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

          Funny how nobody ever says 'Boy/Man' as if it is relevant. I'll take your word on it though 🙂

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

            People do use gender references for guys. E.g 'guy', which is mostly used for guys (I.e. boys/men). It's a bit sexist to point out that he said 'girl' in the first place.

        2. ignis88

      Nice work

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

      Nice work, it was Blind or PVA for me, it seems rediculous now to think i opted for the latter.

  18. JAC THE CAT
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    38 with 10 to play 🙂

  19. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    One-week punts for GW35 before wildcard?

    I'm thinking Arnie

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbiadini could still be decent at home to Hull

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Although he's definitely going to be in my WC team

  20. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Start Vertonghen or Brunt?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vertonghen

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Brunt shambolic at the moment and West Brom have nothing to play for, I'd say Vertonghen

    3. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      thanks

  21. Jafooli

  22. The Overthinker

    Best striker for next week? (7.1)

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

      Won't mind one week punt

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Defoe

      2. FPL Puppy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Benteke then. 🙂

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

      Gabbiadini at home to Hull

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

        will he start?

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How much is Benteke now?

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

        7.3

    4. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke?

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

        I can afford him .
        What are your views on Jesus?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'm staying well away for now.

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

            Tekkers the best option then?

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

      Gabbi

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

      My bad.
      Budget 9.3

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Which three do you have now?
        Do you have your wildcard left? Short term I would say Benteke (he has Burnley).

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

          Negredo,lukaku, Kane

          Will be replacing negredo.
          And whoever i bring in will only be for gw35

          1. FPL Puppy
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Currently Benteke, 100%. In great form and has Burnely at home.

            Jesus just got back from injury.
            Gabby hasn't found form yet.
            Defoe hasn't scored for 8 gameweeks.
            Deeney has Liverpool home. Could be a good punt.
            Llorente just got back from injury and has ManU away next. Got subbed off early also this GW, but don't know why.

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

    This is hold if i not get any injuries, right ? NO wc

    Pickford

    Alonso - Valencia - Stephens ( Azpilicueta, Stones )

    Sanchez - Alli - Coutinho - Zaha ( Townsend )

    Kane - Lukaku - Gabbiadini

    1. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hold. Stones first sub. Don't think Valencia will play

  24. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hi...so what is the template front 3 for wildcard either this week or next?

    Looking at Kane and gabbi.

    Who should 3rd be?...seeing lots of Jesus but he's still to prove fitness or start for city since injury.....thanks

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with Costa

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I quite fancy Defoe.

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

      I might go dirt cheap like Barnes or anichebe and upgrade the mid
