Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Gameweek 32 concludes at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace – with victories in four of their last five Premier League matches – look to maintain their recent revival against London rivals Arsenal.

Sam Allardyce’s’ Eagles have kept clean sheets in their last two home outings but a shut-out looks unlikely this evening: they face an Arsenal side who have scored in each of their previous twenty matches in the Premier League, with key Fantasy asset Alexis Sanchez a big factor in that statistic.

The Chilean has notched 12 goals and supplied five assists on the road this season – more than any other player – and is backed by 309,000+ or 7% with the captaincy this evening.

He’s supported by an in-form Theo Walcott, with the FPL midfielder boasting goals in back-to-back Gameweeks as he bids to provide us with a cheaper alternative to Sanchez. Impressively, Walcott has scored 18 goals from his last 23 starts in all competitions.

        1. Totti
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          ok then downgrade alonso to any other defender try to save 2 million

    2. Pigeon
      • 7 Years

      Holgate to Bertrand and Anichebe to Origi/Gabbi

      1. Lav
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Playing 3-5-2

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Valdes instead of Heaton
      Alderweireld instead of PVA
      Coutinho instead of Eriksen

  3. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do with this team? 2FT

    Valdes
    Alonso Davies Pieters
    Sanchez Coutinho Alli Siggy King
    Aguero Lukaku

    Subs: Jaku Olsson Valencia Crouch

    I'm thinking Aguero to Kane for sure, and one of Siggy/King to Zaha?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy to Zaha.

      Do not drop King, big mistake there

    2. Totti
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      don't drop king
      aguero to kane

  6. Sweetboi

    Pick one?

    a) Eriksen + Vardy > Zaha + Kane (-4)

      Some serious scores there.
      I'm rooting for PotatoAce because I'd like to have lost to the eventual winner.

    Another green arrow. I am beginning to consider life without Sanchez. Am I being knee jerky?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years

      I'm so glad Iv no Arsenal at the moment....

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I've been living la vida no Sanchez...since he's been converted to a winger, it's been a good life.

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      For the doubles in gw34, yay. But I'm holding onto Siggy for now. Hoping Siggy can get some points at watford.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        How long can we keep faith with him though...

        Ye itswoth the dgw in mind, Iv still got wc for the following week.... but Should I just wait and get them for free GW34

    1. Lav

      Me

    2. nkhoughton

    1. nkhoughton

      Ballsy choice, could be very worthwhile though

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why not.

      2. afs2239
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think Harry Kane will try to score as many goals as he can , because he wanna to be the Epl top scorer

        let's wait and see what will happen

  15. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:
    King (tot)
    Carroll (sun)
    Siggy (wat)

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Carroll

    2. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy

  16. nkhoughton
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth starting Pennington vs Burnley?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why not?

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He may not start but likely to get 1pt if he doesn't my other option is Nyom.

        1. UnitedFan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, I'd start him

    2. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure if he'll start if Williams is back.

    3. Moosie the Staggie

      Only starts in we go 3 at the back

    Origi to Kane and Sanchez to Zaha?

    Heaton
    Valencia / Davies / Alonso
    Sanchez / Alli / Sterling / Sigurdsson
    Kun / Lukaku / Origi

    Jakupovic / Stephens / Maguire / T. Carroll

    2ft, .5itb, WC and BB available

    1. michudagawd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha and Benteke double-up?

    2. No h in Firmino
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have a similar decision to make, considering those moves. Alternative is Sanchez & siggy -> eriksen & zaha which would potentially allow origi to be Benteke the week after.

  20. mash
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Grant Pickford
    Alonso Walker Valencia McAuley Amat
    Alli Sigurdsson Lanzini King T.Carroll
    Aguero Kane Lukaku

    1FT, £0.5m in the bank

    Already did Costa to Kane, anything else worth doing for GW33?

    Current concerns are:
    - Walker's game time, and losing SV if he falls in price tonight
    - Valencia's knock - worth replacing or hope he recovers for the DGW34?
    - Siggy's poor form
    - Replacing McAuley and Amat before the DGWs

    1. afs2239
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      sell valencia , Man united has tough matches , and may be he will be rested more and more to be fully fit for europa league games

      1. Pigeon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Highly doubt any players will be rested they are going for top 4

      2. mash
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I can hopefully wait until pressers for Valencia as he's not near dropping at the moment. Only one with time pressure is Walker... very hard to predict, especially as Trippier has done well.

  21. Shakshuka
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thought on these moves? Thanks!

    A) Sanchez + Vardy - > Hazard + Kane
    B) Siggy + Vardy - > King / Townsend + Kane

    Sanchez Eriksen Siggy Zaha De Roon
    Zlatan Lukaku Vardy

    1. Pigeon

      B and get King

  22. vectorman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    You know that moment where you've made a balls up in the game, horrible feeling innit?. I've mentioned this before but just can't get over the fact I went with 3 Boro players on a WC lol.. I've messed my future plans up and got in Zaha for de Roon in anger, which means no Sanchez for his DGW.. Ozil is my option left if I want 3 Arsenal that week, the languid one.

    Do you think All Out Attack would be a good option for my team this week?.

    Valdes Pickford
    Rojo Stones Mustafi Stephens Yoshi
    Erik Alli Haz Walcott Zaha
    Negredo Kane Lukaku

    The defensive pairings are pretty poor.. Very tempted, Negredo might even score against Arsenal?

      Wowsers very nice, congrates.. It's funny that a score of 73 this week which I got would normally be cause for celebration too. 😀

    4. UnitedFan

    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) Is Gibson the only Middlesbrough defender worth getting?

    B) Is Smith enough cover for Bournemouth's defence, instead of getting Daniels (more expensive)?

    C) Is Yoshida a good choice for Southampton's defence? I have Bertrand but need to get a cheaper SOT defender to upgrade elsewhere

    D) How does a frontline of Kane Lukaku Benteke look?

    E) Sigurdsson->Zaha a no-brainer?

    F) Thank you

    1. Pigeon

      A, C, D yes and E wait and see...

    2. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Chambers is an option

      Why do you want a Bournemouth defender?

      Absolutely

      Not so bad

      Probably

      You're welcome

    3. -KocH-

      A. yes
      B. yes
      C. been better than good enough for me so far
      D. decent
      E. I'd wait for one more game
      F. welcome

    4. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A) At the moment, yes, but other could be an option if fit by DGW34
      B) Why are you getting Bournemouth's defence?
      C) Yes
      D) Not bad, but Benteke is a bit hit and miss and I would want Ibra instead of Lukaku eventually
      E) Not a bad move, but I wouldn't get rid of Siggy yet personally. I have both 🙂
      F) No bother

    5. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Fabio.

      Yes. Don't expect CS but he has attacking potential.

      Yes.

      Good until after GW34.

      Yes.

      You're grand.

  27. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Well at least I got 2 points more than the overall leader 59 and to think at one point last week my team was Ibra Capt, Lanzini benched for Zaha and Son in for Pedro. Funny ole game. Anyway next GW, all about Kane I guess, especially as that held me off the Son move, so any suggestions please chaps, I've now been overtaken in ML.

    Heaton - Foster

    Valencia - Davies - Alonso - PVA - Olsson

    Sanchez - Pedro - Lanzini - Zaha - Alli

    Ibra - Costa - Llorente
    2FT and 0.2 in the bank
    I'm thinking of keeping my DGWs and giving Sanchez another shot so Pedro/Lanzini and Costa to make way for Kane and ........

    Any suggestions greatly appreciate, shocker of a last few weeks

    Eden Alli Cout Zaha King

    Considering the following -8, want your thoughts :

    Alderweireld to Jagielka
    Sanchez to Eriksen
    Carroll to Kane
    Vardy to Lukaku

    Leaves my team as follows for GW33:

    Valdes | Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Jagielka | Evans Amat
    Hazard Alli Eriksen Sterling King
    Lukaku Kane | Anichebe

      Why not swap Aldy to either Soton/Ars D for their doubles to come? I see you have Boro covered w Valdes. Overall, I like it
