Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Burnley

With just two goals from Saturday’s action so far, we now turn to the tea-time kick-off at Selhurst Park to provide some much-needed entertainment and Fantasy returns.

Crystal Palace host Burnley having enjoyed an influx of investment on the back of their double Gameweek 34, ensuring that many will have interest in this evening’s encounter.

Christian Benteke – one of the few success stories with a 14-point return – heads into the match backed by 608,000+ FPL managers, with 172,000 opting to hand him the captaincy ahead of the Clarets clash – that includes 21 of the top 100 managers.

In contrast, Wilfried Zaha owes his recent investors. He was brought in by 144,000+ ahead of Gameweek 34 only to return just three points. More than 46,000 have shipped him out ahead of today’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          Chelsea might rotate if they've won the title.

          One of Alli/Eriksen also essential.

        Which do you prefer on WC this week??
        1)Vertonghen/Blind
        2)Cahill/Robertson

        Exact same money - 1 is more balanced, but just feel like Chelseas fixtures need to have some defensive cover in there??

        Rest of WC team is:
        Jaku/Cabellero
        Yoshida/Gabriel/Holgate/xxx/xxx
        Sanchez/Hazard/Alli/King/T.Carrol
        Kane/Costa/Lukakku

        Have exact funds to do this of defensive options, and overall team?

        One note - guy chasing me in cash ml - if i go option 1, I will be matching up his defense exactly - and i have about 60 odd point lead

              Tadic,Zaha and Gabbi here. At least I didn't captain one of them.

          Hull played for a draw the better teams will open up against SOU and leaves chances for Gabbi

            Possibly. Waiting for tomorrow's games. Possible injuries and poor / good performances will help me determine.

          Time to get rid of Benteke?
          Home record is awful with 3 goals in 17 matches and next away matches are against City and United and will want to keep a clean sheet.
