Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

23 April 2017 3123 comments

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.

    I don't get why some are blaming others here for THEIR decisions to not to Captain benteke , or bring in negredo for benteke.
    You are responsible for your actions, nobody puts a gun on your head and asks you to do it for your life.

    I went with only one dgw player, the beast and didn't even captain him. Many people told me to go for tekkers but i went for the beast, and everyone knows what happened in first match . Definitely i am responsible for not going for dgw players if i get below average points.

    A big thank you to everyone who helps/suggests people .
    And to people who are playing the blame game, i am sorry you are visiting wrong website

      Exactly. This is a site to share opinions and help people. But they click the transfer/captain themselves at the end of the day

      How can you blame anyone, it's just a game of Football and nothing is certain.. I don't get all this on here, like there is this amazing gift some have every week when it goes well for them but then the following week those same people will be bemoaning their luck and it will be someone else's turn to be the genius.. That's football 😉

      Football is very unpredictable though, and it's just a game so I don't see why anyone should blame someone else if their player doesn't score.

            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.
