Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

The final double Gameweek side take to the pitch in Sunday’s late kick-off, with Crystal Palace making the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Fantasy managers will, of course, be focused on both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke in the Palace attack, with both commanding 144,000+ and 148,000 new Fantasy Premier League owners for Gameweek 34 respectively.

Benteke is skippered by 96214 (2.1%) of his owners as he bids to extend a run of three goals in his last four outings. He’ll face his former club in form, then, with Zaha and Andros Townsend tasked with providing him with the ammunition.

While Sam Allardyce’s side have every motivation to earn a third successive win at Anfield, Liverpool also have every incentive to claim a victory.

Their quest for a top spot and Champions League qualification goes on, with Fantasy managers focused on the efforts and output of Brazilian pair Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Coutinho has been signed by over 34,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 34, with Firmino earning 58,000+ new owners following his run of returns in six consecutive Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Mate I had him for 8 GWs earlier this season GW20-27 for one goal, 0 assists. Brought him back this week and captained him because he was clearly best choice.

          Not sure if you posted this here before the GW, but if you did, fair play. I went with Negredo and yeah, I knew that about Boro, but thought they'd really go for it cause these two are the last favorable fixtures for them. Still not a fail before they face Sunderland anyway.

    Last year i hardly had time to look at fantasy football due to a new arrival in the house.made changes on a Friday and didn't look at it again until the following week. Ended up 6k overall and won my money mini league

    This season I'm checking it day in and day out and I'm planning changes weeks down the line. I'm having my worst season ever. And I'm midtable in a money league. Theres 2 teams ahead of me in a mini league who are ghost ship teams since Christmas.

    Choosing Negredo for those fixtures knowing they needed goals and points versus better form Tekkers but pooper fixtures. You can't really say that was a bad decision. On paper away to Pool and Home to Spurs looked pretty tough for Palace and Boro did have a man sent off as well.. Them there's the breaks

          You backed some bag of crap striker playing for the worst form team in the premier league.
