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.

      Coutinho was the best player on the pitch, no bonus is crazy.

        You mean the fact the game isn't set up to ensure a performance like that get's bonus is crazy. It's not crazy that he wasn't assigned points for things you don't get points for in the bonus system

        Apart from his injury and little spell following it he has been fantastic all season (IRL).

        Would be on POTY nominations for me if not for that inj

      Klopp is hugely overrated as a manager. Always slow to react with subs and tactics. If he wasn't so 'likable' he'd get a lot more flack.

      If United win the Europa League and come fourth, does that mean whoever is fifth qualifies for the Champions League?
