Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

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

      Not for Bailly?

    The joy when you have salah captain AND Robertson in your side ...get in! 🙂

  4. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years

    Robertson on for 8 points.

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Barca going “we got the wrong one...”

  6. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Benched Robertson last minute thinking he wouldn't keep a clean sheet (which he didnt) but he gets assist instead 🙁

  7. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    That goal was a gift from Sakho

  8. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    I think 7 is a good number, hope Auba outscores him.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      The less the better as a none captained

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Ik but could've been worse so yeah

    2. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      8. Don’t mind if auba gets 10. Main thing is salah got something

  9. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Robertson is flying on bps

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Hoooooooooooooooooooooooold

  11. Guy Demel
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Non Salah captain risk takers vanishing backwards slowly into that hedge....

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      We want 2

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Are you leaving or not?

    2. willl
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Still think Auba will outscore him tbh

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Salah captainers acting like they've won FPL

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Not yet. One goal and no BAPS - I will take that. Auba has potential to score a hat-trick versus Stoke at home

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Will get at least 1 bp

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 27 days ago

          Is dis fact?

      2. DJ1000
        • 9 Years

  13. Rik Waller

    Palace always lose from winning positions

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Often from drawing and losing positions too.

  14. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Bapsers will be close with that game winning goal. Egyptian prince might just sneak 1.

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Nah, too many deductions. It's Miller's bap.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Really?

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah.

        2. Prøfeßör …
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 27 days ago

          Well, likely to anyway.

      2. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Hes ahead after the last update. Think it will be close.

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Should easily. Maybe 2

    3. Prøfeßör …
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      *Milners

    4. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Doubt it

  15. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Kept Robertson on WC.

    Quality over quantity 😎

    1. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Same. It just didn't make any sense to me.

  16. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Robbo first on bench 😆

  17. Fresh_From_Desh
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    No way I'm getting rid of robbo for DGW player.

    3-5-2 formation makes him a weapon

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      i'm selling him after gw36.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Pool don't normally play 3 atb. It was due to injury and lack of subs

  18. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    No bonus Mo

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      winning goal will be added

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        He’s on 1 bonus now without that anyway isn’t he?

    2. Effe
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      I think the winning goal bonus adjustment happens after the match so he might be in with a chance.

    3. DJ1000
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Has 1 bap

  19. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years

    1. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years

  20. Rash
    • 6 Years

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Yes after 2nd goal

    2. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Will be close between him and Milner for 1.

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Nope.

    4. Effe
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Yes he should get at least 1.

  21. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Love Salah but everytime i see him he reminds of a 70s player with that haircut, the beard and his physique 🙂

    1. Squashed
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      That’s true

  22. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    2. Stoic
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

    3. dark91
      • 8 Years

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

  25. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

          • 9 Years
          6 years, 27 days ago

          Irony

  28. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    So close my Sanchez buy and (C) made me feel good due to Salah looking to blank.

    Right back to the nervous tics and a bit of poop touching the underpants...

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Sanchez was a mistake

  29. DJ1000
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Congrats to all the folk who got rid of Firminho. Clearly the right decision

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 13 Years

      hindsight

    2. Granville

      Daft comment. Plenty more chances for him over the next few weeks.

      1. DJ1000
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

      2. DJ1000
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Firminho may not even start next week

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Yep

      • Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 27 days ago

        And those that ditched Robertson, Sane, and Millivojevic?

        1. DJ1000
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 27 days ago

          I didn’t have any of them in the 1st place.
