Gameweek 32 gets up and running at Selhurst Park this Saturday lunchtime as Crystal Palace entertain Liverpool at 12.30pm.

Having served up a 29-point tally in his previous league outing, Mohamed Salah is again among the key captaincy contenders for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Up against an Eagles’ defence with two clean sheets in front of their own supporters, the Reds’ winger goes in search of a fifteenth double-figure haul of 2017/18.

Elsewhere, the likes of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both have the form to punish those who parted company on Wildcards.

Over the last five, Firmino has three goals and a pair of assists, while Mane has struck twice and supplied a trio of assists.

Christian Benteke has been the hosts’ form player of late, delivering a goal or assist in seven of his last ten league outings. He’s joined up top by the fit-again Wilfried Zaha, who has recovered from a knee complaint to start against the Merseysiders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        And yeah, Mo Salah is amazing. Wish he was a Gooner

        1. HNI
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          And then he would be a Manutd player like RVP and Snachez were :p

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            lol, I loved RVP and was so angry when he left. Couldn't give a toss about Sanchez. Enjoy your 500K a week dog shagger. I'm happy we have Mkhitaryan

      Well looks like its first time you saw palace playing recently. They have brilliant in every match now and losing by just one goal. And god TAA is such a poor RB

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Salah will get bonus

    Looks like the GW 31 "dross" of Mili,Zaha,Mane and Robertson have struck first blood for the non WCers. 😉

    1. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Lol that's just one game that has been played, someone had to pick up points. You forgot to mention Bobby and VVD there

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Look at my reply to Cloudsky.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A mere scratch.

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      ? The opposite can be said about VVD, Firmino, Benteke, Mounie...

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Of course all of the GW 31 players can't get points. Same as GW 32 template. Some will surely get good points but some wouldn't. Only mentioned about 'first blood'.

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          No one from mentioned has more than 11% ownership. Firmino blank is much bigger than all of those.

        2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Palace vs liverpool is a gw 31 game with no double. How was it ever going to be in favour of the wildcarders whatever the score?

          Salah and mane owner and 32 wildcarder btw

    4. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think it was a bit much to expect a 0-0.

      It could have been a lot worse given WC's likely kept and captained Salah.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Salah is a non entity really. No one win their right mind would've got rid of him on WC.

      2. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I'm glad you chose Mkhitaryan. Nice to see.

      3. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        BTW, greta differentials on WC Mark. That's the way it'd be done.

        1. *Reformed-Character*
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Pull your pants up pundit

          8 years, 3 months ago

          I don't it was all that brave - Austin was always an option over Murray once fit. Arnie and Mky short-term but I like either of them as fall-backs for GW34. However, Mky to Gross and Aub to Kane or Lukaku will likely be the GW34 plan.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Good plans.

            You will maximise 32 and 33 as well I feel unlike most of the other WCers.

            1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Cant wait to prove you wrong

              1. pundit of punts
                • 13 Years

                Good luck. 🙂

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Well you also said salah will get 15points and gross is poor. So you say lot of things and only link back to ones that worked a bit

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I said Salah 30 points (which is obviously just me kidding). Gross hasn't played yet.

        1. HNI
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yes. And do link back if gross gets another of his amazing asissts/goal today

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He's outscored a Leicester defender over 3 weeks already? 😮

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ignore that. That remains to be seen. I mean the first part 🙂

  11. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    7 points as a Auba(C). Thats good

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Prefer 14/16.

  12. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Feel sorry for Palace. The amount of late goals they concede must be heart breaking.

    Shame for them as well as If the referee had any balls he'd have sent Mane off

    1. faux_C
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If he had any balls he would have given the pen in the first half instead of booking him.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Well to be fair he didn't help himself by throwing himself down the way he did

  13. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Decision to keep Roberston on my willdcard vindicated B-)

    Can't believe people were getting in junk defenders like Stephens or Dunk. If Roberston gets an assist and a CS in GW34 he'll easily outscore those chumps.

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      But it was a terrible defensive performance . You relied on a rare assist . Hardly a tactical genius is it?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Did you see him playing though 😛 absolute quality for 5.0

      2. Teror
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Where's the genius in getting relegation-threatened defenders with poor DGW fixtures on WC simply because they've got DGW's? I don't think I showed any tactical genius, just common sense.

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't touch Southampton or Brighton garbage either .

      3. *Reformed-Character*
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        take it you didnt watch the game, Robertson was superb

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Where did I say he wasn't ?

          Said it was a poor defensive performance ...from pool

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Amen. Same here

    3. #FPLBhuna

    4. Baps Hunter

      Yep. Alonso, Valencia, Robbo might be g2g 😉

    Who is the best captaincy candidate next week. Have a nice feel about mahrez next week

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      There is this one guy that scores every week and is on course for 300+.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years

        Yup but eve(a) and champs league fatigue. Y captain him always

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years

          I just dont doubt the Prince anymore.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Auba

    4. MTPockets

      hazard/auba/salah

    5. Dannyb

    6. HamezMace

      I'm on Hazard

    7. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yup

  15. Rainer

    Who do Firmino owners have as their 1st sub?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Van le Parra

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully someone better than who Vardy owners have

  16. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I guess assist potential should be given more importance than goal threat in the case of defenders
    Robertson over VVD
    Lowton over Mee

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      6 points for a goal. 3 for an assist. You have to consider the likelyhood of both along with the points value when choosing players. It's not a "wingback ftw" or "CBs score more in the long-run" kind of deal. Depends on the player and the price.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Van Dijk was more attacking threat at Southampton because they had less attacking threats than Pool.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Who are you arguing with?

          1. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            ?

      2. umerlfc
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed. Owning Mee and VVD has been painful over the past weeks when I did consider Robbo and Lowton. In this case it was a wrong decision

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      The only surprise with Robertson is he hasn't more assists. Always been an attacking threat, club and country.

  17. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Bailly benching is annoying but at least Firmino didn't punish after selling for Vardy. Not this week anyway.

    1. Js31
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ano. You keeping him or shipping?

      1. justmatt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Baillly? Keep for now, always intending on benching him next week vs City. Will reassess in 34.

  18. dark91

    Mili is the highest penalty scorer this season in EUROPE alongside Immobile with 7 goals

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      still hurts not getting him in for rlc all those weeks ago

      1. dark91

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Jose seems to think he is accustomed to the premier league now.
