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.

      I'm not sure. I have Walcott and despite their upcoming double gameweeks I'm not convinced.

        I take it back, missread it, Flashscore added missing players on the list and must have looked that. Bailly was one I was concidering also. Good pick I think.

      You might have to wait for the presser in 2 weeks. With palace doing so well defensively, I would be worried about him playing anyway. Defenitely not 2 games in a DGW.

    Morning all......

    lloris & Vardy > Henessey & Kane

    Thinking ahead to week 34 DGW and also Leicester playing 4 times in two weeks

    Is this a wise decision?

          Yes i am considering hennessey for doubles too
          He has leicster doubles and then burnley. Look good fixtures to me.
          And kane over vardy any time

      Pieters. Unlikely to hurt you on the bench.

    Ownership Tactic

    Started using it again in the last 14 GWs. OR of 500k to 40k

    11 green arrows: 428,100 OR rank rise
    3 red: 37,000 OR drop

    Net rank: 391,100 rise
    Current rank: 50k

    One of the main goals of this tactic is to get consistency in GW ranks and minimise the impact of red arrows. Red arrows are inevitable, and every player gets them. But this tactic tries to make sure you get as little red arrows as possible - but when you do - the impact is little.

    Placed 85th for April 😀 18pts behind the first place. Aguero and Sterling major differentials. The next few weeks going to be interesting...

    morning guys, what to do with this lot?

    2 FT, 0.3 ITB, Was planning to wait for GW 34 for my WC but not sure now.

    Heaton Jaku
    Walker Alonso Pieters Valencia Amat
    Sanchez King Alli Siggy Allen
    vardy kaku gabbi

    Do i take a few hits or use my WC now?

    thinking of:

    a. vardy + Siggy + Kaku + Gabbi for -8pts > Kane + Ibra + Benteke + 4.8 midfielder
    b. Vardy + Siggy + Allen for -4pts > Kane + zaha + JWP/townsend/cheap midfielder
    c. WC - would want to refresh my defence with Gibson and Yoshida to free some funds in midfield
    d. any other ideas?
