Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

1,563 Comments
Share

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

      I think it was a bit much to expect a 0-0.

      It could have been a lot worse given WC's likely kept and captained Salah.

          I don't it was all that brave - Austin was always an option over Murray once fit. Arnie and Mky short-term but I like either of them as fall-backs for GW34. However, Mky to Gross and Aub to Kane or Lukaku will likely be the GW34 plan.

          6 points for a goal. 3 for an assist. You have to consider the likelyhood of both along with the points value when choosing players. It's not a "wingback ftw" or "CBs score more in the long-run" kind of deal. Depends on the player and the price.

          The only surprise with Robertson is he hasn't more assists. Always been an attacking threat, club and country.

        Bailly benching is annoying but at least Firmino didn't punish after selling for Vardy. Not this week anyway.

            Baillly? Keep for now, always intending on benching him next week vs City. Will reassess in 34.
