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.

    WC Team Thoughts

    Is it crazy to get rid of Kane/Lukaku?
    Too much Chelsea?

    0.2 itb
    Caballero - Pickford
    Alonso - Gabriel - Walker - Stephens - Yoshida
    Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Sane - King
    Costa - Jesus - Anichebe

      Only player I'd get for Kane is Costa, so not too bad.

      Kane over Jesus mate. Forster over Caballero. Gabriel isn't nailed is what I've heard and else good team. Is he nailed doe?

        Nah. Surely Caballero over Forster? Sure, Forster has one extra DGW but look at their remaining fixtures. Two SOU defenders is plenty.

        I would want Kane over Costa, though. Perhaps help fund it by having Jesus over Costa (maybe), and upgrade your third striker (albeit there's not much choice).

        Rest is all good. Maybe Holgate over Yoshida to gain 0.3m (or over Stephens, to spread the risk) - but that's totally up to you.

      We had this same conversation last year about selling proven figures for unproven ones with doubles, and many were punished for selling.. Kane has a double, and Lukaku will without a doubt haul over this period. It's tough either way, because they take up so much budget.

    Provisional thoughts for next week.... I need Hazard, really.

    Thinking of Hazard & a 6.4m striker in for Zaha & Lukaku. Note I already have Gabbiadini

    A) Niasse
    B) Barnes
    C) Llorente
    D) Afobe - if not injured
    E) Origi

    Or is it not wise altogether...?

      Smooth: Did Gibson -> Yoshida (-4). Hopefully paid off long term.
      Rough: Tadic pen miss (could also get BAPS), loss of Yoshida-assist because of Tadic's miss and maybe loss of BPS on Yoshida. And I benched Jaku! Great!

    For me, Gabriel is nailed. Wenger has said he likes the 3ATB system because it has refocused his players but it's also flexible. When they have the ball, Gabriel can play as a right back while Ox can push into right midfield from right wing-back. Mustafi wouldn't be as adept at full-back, so he should come back into the side at left centre-back when fit. He's a great wildcard option at 4.8 with back-to-back doubles.

    I understand the desire to hold Kaku for 37.i had planned on this all along. However, Jesus frees up the funds to upgrade 5th defender to Monreal. Even of Jesus doesn't start all the games, the fixtures are good and he's explosiveness.

    Its that or drop Benteke for Barnes to upgrade defence.

    Jesus + Take sounds much better than Kaku + Barnes/Anichebe
