Are Palace players really worth buying? Saka or Gyokeres? Zopharhosts his weekly Q&A, answering your burning questions. He shares his opinion on Crystal Palace players, Arsenal attackers, differential captains and more. Personally, I think this is a fascinating topic, and I'm going to take a deep dive into it, exploring the nuances and implications of each point raised. The question of whether to invest in Palace players is a complex one, and I'll be breaking it down into its key components, offering my own insights and commentary along the way. First, let's consider the attackers. Zopharhosts opinion that none of them are worth investing in is an interesting one, and I can see where he's coming from. Mateta's injury issues and inconsistent form make him a risky pick, and while Sarr has shown some promise, his minutes are uncertain. This is a common issue with Palace players, who often seem to be following the Spurs blueprint of focusing on Europe rather than the league. This raises a deeper question: how can we trust Palace players to deliver consistent form when their priorities are elsewhere? In my opinion, this is a significant risk, and it's one that many managers are likely to overlook. Now, let's look at the defence. Zopharhosts suggestion that it's still worth a shout is an interesting one, and I can see the appeal. However, I'd be cautious about investing too heavily in Palace defenders, especially after this week. The rotation possibilities and the fact that you wouldn't want to play them in Gameweeks 37 and 38 make it a luxury move rather than a necessity. This is a common issue with Palace players: they can be tempting, but their form is often too uncertain to rely on. Now, let's consider the question of whether to double up on Arsenal's defence. Zopharhosts opinion that there's no other team that he'd back to keep three clean sheets over the run-in is an interesting one, and I can see the appeal. However, I'd be cautious about relying too heavily on Arsenal's defence, especially with the potential for rotation and the fact that they may not be prioritizing goal difference. This raises a deeper question: how can we trust Arsenal's defence to deliver consistent clean sheets when their priorities may be elsewhere? In my opinion, this is a significant risk, and it's one that many managers are likely to overlook. Finally, let's consider the question of whether to sell Calvert-Lewin and Joao Pedro to fund Viktor Gyokeres. Zopharhosts opinion that he'd prefer to sell Calvert-Lewin instead of Joao Pedro is an interesting one, and I can see the appeal. However, I'd be cautious about selling either player, especially with the potential for rotation and the fact that their form may be uncertain. This raises a deeper question: how can we trust these players to deliver consistent form when their priorities may be uncertain? In my opinion, this is a significant risk, and it's one that many managers are likely to overlook. In conclusion, the question of whether Palace players are worth buying is a complex one, and I've explored the key components of the debate. While there are some tempting options, I'd be cautious about relying too heavily on Palace players, especially with the potential for rotation and the fact that their priorities may be elsewhere. This is a common issue with Palace players, and it's one that many managers are likely to overlook. However, if you do decide to invest, be sure to do your research and consider the potential risks and rewards carefully.
