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.

    Sanchez 2 + Gibson sub 8 enough for a green arrow(at 5k OR)?

      Soon find out.

    Sanchez to Hazard -4?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No

    2. Licious Lizard

      No.

      Maybe not when Hazard has United next. Keep Sanchez for Middlesbrough and then sell him.

        Can see Haz being extra motivated against United

        Sanchez and Arsenal look finished

    Did NOT see Palace being this attacking under BFS

  7. Pooodle

    Worth a wildcard this week?

    Out: Foster, Walker, Valencia, Pieters, McAuley, Sigurdsson, Carroll, Defoe

    In: Valdes, Alderweireld, Gibson, Holgate, Yoshida, Zaha, Ibra, Benteke

    Would leave me with 0.1m ITB and this team:

    Valdes, Pickford,
    Alonso, Alderweireld, Gibson, Holgate, Yoshida,
    Sanchez, Eriksen, Alli, King, Zaha,
    Lukaku, Ibra, Benteke

  8. Whats the Huth

    Safe to get Zaha in?

      Just wait until friday but keep in mind he's not going to play against Arsenal every week.

        Plays a distracted and depleted Leicester next

        1. Frank Black
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Depleted? Nah, and plus Everton is a much better team than Palace which doesn't even have Lukaku.

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        But Leicester next who doesnt defend much?

    I thought we dominated that game. We had all the best chances. It was just one of those days. We can still win the league.

      The ball was not round enough

    I cannot believe I took a hit for Mustafi yesterday

    1. Wild Rover
      • 14 Years

      Ownership?

      1. PvA

          Not a good one might I add

          It's a differential in the way that a loud fart might be, as opposed to a bow or courtesy, when meeting the Queen.

            I blamed it on one of the corgis.

  11. Guvnor

    7 years, 5 months ago

    A)
    Walker > Vert
    Sanchez > Zaha
    Barnes > Kane
    for -4

    B)
    Sanchez > Zaha
    Carroll > Kane

    C)
    Brunt > Collins
    Sanchez > Zaha
    Barnes > Kane
    for -4

    Option A, B or C?

    1. Pooodle
      • 15 Years

      B of those

      Well done. I've never managed one despite playing this for 8-9 years.

    Sanchez + Carroll -> Zaha + Kane? Alexis cant hurt me if no one has him next week anymore... 😀

  17. Jet5605
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I'm starting to think not having Zaha for the home game against a distracted rotating Leicester who just shipped 4 is more risky than not having Sanchez away to Boro. Thoughts?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha got double digits at Chelsea and double digits against Arsenal. I think his production is not necessarily tied to the opponent's difficulty.

      1. Jet5605
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He's not been consistent enough to be labelled as fixture proof as say Hazard or Aguero. Unlikely he'd repeat such a haul against Chelsea and Arsenal but he is in form and Leicester's predicament can't be ignored.

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is zaha actually that good? I don't watch palace games tbh, I had him a while back didn't do anything. I find it hard to buy into palace. In two weeks they might be losing 3-0 at home, arsenal must have been particularly terrible if cabaye scored. He hasn't scored for ages, and the guy who scored the penalty, who even is that, A palace fan who won a competition?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        I thought tonight he was that good, and deservedly MOM

  18. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Sanchez out, Zaha in.

    Anyone think of doing the same?

    GW 31 WC has worked out well 🙂 158 points in 2GWs. 😀

    Is anyone actually keeping Sanchez?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    3. Jet5605
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think not owning Zaha is more risky than not owning Sanchez.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I have both but no Hazard or Coutinho

    4. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      yes - lost value on him last night ... so ride it out for the Mid game and hope he doesn't drop another 200k

      What score are we all expecting for Mid-Ars ... surely they must be able to score and keep a clean sheet (hope!) ... I'll have Sanchez and Musta

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Middlesborough will finally have to attack... surely? Taken them 31 games but they must go for it now.

    5. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    6. Chucky
      • 10 Years

      Yes.2 DGWs coming up

  26. Kiwivillan

    Selling Alexis for hit justified and Zaha points. Splendid

    1. Crow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nice moves. I was advised here to keep...

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Only way I could get Eriksen and Aguero

  27. Wild Rover
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hope Venkys enjoyed that. Hope they all get bird flu. 🙁

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think they already had it... and gave it to Blackburn

  28. That Was Easy!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez + Kane + Deeney VS. Zaha/Sterling + Ibra + Kane (-4)

    Can't justify dropping Ibra, think I'd quickly see the hit back.

  29. The Tinkerman
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Arsenal didn't even hit the target in the second half. 😀 😀
