Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Crystal Palace

After yet another goal from Mohamed Salah in Liverpool’s draw at The Hawthorns, Saturday comes to an early conclusion as Watford entertain Crystal Palace at 3pm.

The Eagles’ duo Wilfried Zaha and Luka Milivojevic were among the top seven most bought players for a reduced Gameweek 35 that saw over 154,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Free Hit chips played.

More than 183,000 managers acquired Zaha, who has served up three goals and two assists in the last five Gameweeks, with 21 points in his previous two outings.

Meanwhile, dead-ball specialist Milivojevic has 38 points over the last four, supplementing three goals and a pair of assists with nine bonus in that run.

They now collide with a Hornets defence that’s conceded 30 goals in front of their own fans – no side have allowed more.

The hosts have failed to catch the eye in recent weeks, with Javi Gracia turning to a 4-4-2 today in an attempt to solve a run of three goals in the last five Gameweeks.

Roberto Pereyra’s form has been the one crumb of comfort – the former Juventus man has netted two of those strikes and is looking to score for the third successive match at Vicarage Road today.

        Can I get away with tea bag?

      As long as either Mili or McArthur assist that's fine

    Kane and Eriksen nailed in my WC.

    Who should the third Spurs player be:

    A) Vertonghen
    B) Son
    C) Alli
    D) Lloris

    On A currently but keeping Son is tempting.

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      b

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A

    4. Point-one short
      • 7 Years

      Depends on the rest of you team I think, but I like vertonghen as I expect spurs to get CSs with their run-in.

  3. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Has PVA looked like getting any attacking points so far?

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Petulant and poor

      1. Point-one short

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      7 total players this week*

      only rob and zaha games started so far

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        So 1 from 2?

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          yea lol.

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No. And that goes for the entire cpa team

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A good captain haul can easily wipe out any free hit advantage, especially if the extra players get 1 or 2 points for free hitters! (hello, Milner and Mane!)

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Same here, Robbo (Naughton my only sub heh) and Salah, but Gundo, Jesus and Sterling (C)...all for a -8 too!

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      HOw do you not have Salah??????

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Oh wait heh, I automatically read that as 7 from 1.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        no FH, went without and not too damaging

        1. Costa Nostra

          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Can’t see how not having the best player in fantasy isn’t hurting you, but to each their own.

        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

      2. Tiki-Taka
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        hope it was just a rest, don't think it'll be made clear by puel though honestly so just gotta wait and see

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years

      Kept Hennessy on FH. Benched him. Could he on for a haul

    6. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      So back to my normal team after FH this week. Do I try and get Salah in or wait for GW38?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        wait imo

      2. Tiki-Taka
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        can't say without context on your team, waiting til 38 myself because of DGW37

    9. Team Cruel

      • 8 Years

      Zaha could be off

    10. JohnnyMagrinho
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Ah man. Knew I should’ve brought in Livermore and Rondon! Craziness I ignored them! I thought about doing it as well, for a second, in a dream I had when I was 7.

        Should always follow your dreams 🙁

          Lucky for Zaha that could have went either way.

          1. BERGKOP
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            *gone

        3. BIGREDDOG
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Lots of petulance and poor sportsmanship in this one...

        4. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          So Zaha goes studs into the stomach of the Watford keeper, gets no ball at all, from Cahill's first red this season to Alonso's post match ban, surely Zaha should be punished...

          1. ChelseaGuy

          2. Differentiator
            • 8 Years

            Give over. Nothing in it

            1. Postman Ty
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              I think the ref did fine, should have been a yellow in my opinion, but where's the consistency?

          3. Zilla
            • 6 Years

            ref saw it

          What happened with Zaha?

          1. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Went in studs up on the keeper lucky to be still on the pitch really even though i reckon he had a right to go for the ball i have seen players getting reds for similar challenges.

            yes

            Yes

          5. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yes, the V is just closer to how it's pronounced in Greek. The ch is just a spelling convention for a Greek 'h' sound.

        7. Dead Lift
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Ref is awful. Lost a game without any intense. Unable.

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yea, its unbelievable how poor hes been at handling the game.

        8. Zilla

          Forgot about this richarlison dude

          1. Fred54
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Haven't we all.

        9. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Do we think Salah can be this consistent next season?
          Maybe not as prolific maybe but consistent.
          Nothing about the way he plays makes me think he is a one season wonder big curious what you lot think?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Don't think he will outscore this season.

          2. BIGREDDOG
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            He suits their style so well.. I think he will be able to justify his price tag next season

          3. Zilla
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            As you said. Not the same level of consistency of this season but still somehow consistent.

          4. FFSbet.com
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Think defenders will analyze him more and let him go on his weak foot but could get 25+ if no injuries plus if he is on penalties.

          5. JustPark
