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.

    For those of you who have used TC already, when are you planning on playing the WC?

    City so open, Arsenal having the better chances. Bet whatever you have on City scoring the next goal.

  9. Boomerang V

    Now I just want Valencia to miss the second game altogether... I have Holgate stepping in auto-sub

    1. Hybrid.power

      Me too, have Baines.

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

      same here .... I want Holgate's 8 points
      if he misses the Man C game then he should also definitely start against Swansea

      Wanna see arsenal out
      Don't want Utd to have an advantage Thursday. Although they got 4 days

  16. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather do
    A) Valdes to Forster, bench Heaton
    B) Gibson to Clichy, bench Sanchez/Kaku
    C) Gibson to Yoshida, bench Kaku or sanchez.

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

      A

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

      Why would you bench sanchez?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Team is: Heaton*
        Valencia Huth Stephens
        Sanchez Sane Coutinho Eriksen Alli
        (K)ane Lukaku

        No-one else would be benchable

    Chances created in the Premier League this season.

    Payet - 72
    Ozil - 67

    Just a little reminder that Payet left in January.

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

      What is a Payet?

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        An ungrateful little sod

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      More than Hazard as well

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yup. Though Ozil is always hailed for his creativity. Serious dip this season.

        1. Disco Pat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          The usually dips post Christmas doesn't he? The lack of winter break seems to impact him

    3. Disco Pat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Saw that yesterday alright. You wonder was payet way out in front by Christmas? Or who's created most so far this year and where ozil comes in the list at present!?

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm sure it can be worked out but I won't be doing the counting 😛

    Liverpool vs Palace game look open or cagey?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      cagey

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      We (Palace) look cagey - Schlupp looking abit suspect defensively (as we have seen before), would of preferred PVA in.
