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.

        Considering Ox. Been Arsenal's best player recently and think he may take Walcott's place so will be in more attacking positions.

          you need to expect more than that
          if they are double game weekers for instance, you get 16 pts for them just stepping on the pitch.

            It's not so simple, they could get yellow cards, substituted before 60th or rotation. We've seen it often. It's not a Given that a player gets 2 points. Today I had Van Ahnholt, Zaha and Gabbiadini with three points.

          For your worst 4 players who would normally be benched? .... 20 is probably reasonable
          If you put you best 4 players on the bench (excluding c) then obviously you could get higher

        At 6.5 does he not still provide good value for money?

        Or are people looking elsewhere?

          Depends on TV. If it is a choice between King in midfield or Gabbi up front then King is looking a good pick.

        Have to say this season that goalkeepers continue to provide superb value in the lower ranks if you can pick the right ones... Been on a huge roll since GW16...

        GW16 = Heaton 12 pts
        GW17 = Pickford 8 pts
        GW18 = Heaton 9 pts
        GW19 = Heaton 2 pts

        GW21 = Heaton 10 pts
        GW22 = Grant 3 pts

        GW24 = Grant 3 pts
        GW25 = Grant 7 pts
        GW26 = Heaton 2 pts
        GW27 = Grant 13 pts
        GW28 = Heaton 1 pt
        GW29 = Heaton 10 pts
        GW30 = Grant 3 pts
        GW31 = Heaton 6 pts
        GW32 = Heaton 7 pts
        GW33 = Grant 2 pts
        GW34 = Guzan 11 pts
        GW35 = Heaton 7 pts = 121 pts / 20 gameweeks = 6.05 pts per gameweek.

        It is most likely that Antonio Valencia:

        A: Starts
        B: Come off the bench
        C: Left on the bench
        D: Not in United's squad

        With so few decent and affordable strikers available for wildcard this week, I am strangely looking at anichebe as the enabler for the rest of my squad?

        Anyone else looking at him?

        Just can't figure out the ideal front 3 on wildcard....

          Yes I am. But I disagree that there are few decent affordable strikers. You can afford anyone you want on a WC. It's not like you need hits to get the best ones. You just have to sacrifice elsewhere, but that's not an issue of affordability, that's just the game

            At the moment I'm on Jesus, Costa Kane, but Kane will likely go to Anichebe to fund my Silva and KdB punts. We'll see

          From experience it shouldn't include Benteke and Gabbiadini!!

        Does anyone know how bad the Afobe injury is please? He was/is going to be my third striker enabler.

        Get Jesus in for Benteke tonight? Will leave me with enough to get Vert in for Blind in gw37 assuming Vert won't rise before then. Or wait....?

        I know he's very lowly captained, but still higly owned, need him to stay quiet and Kane (C) to rescue this poor GW.
