The key Fantasy Premier League assets all start for Crystal Palace against Brighton.

Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m), Martin Kelly (£4.3m) and Vicente Guaita (£5.1m) have all survived a recent wave of injuries.

Roy Hodgson is without Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m), Joel Ward (£4.4m) and Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m) through injury while Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) is serving the second of a three-match suspension.

However, Andros Townsend (£5.6m) and Gary Cahill (£4.5m) are missing from the team.

Meanwhile, Neal Maupay (£5.8m) starts up-front for Brighton while Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) gets a rare appearance in central midfield.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Riedewald, Dann, Tomkins, M Kelly; McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyaté; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Montoya, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Pröpper, Bissouma, Mooy, Groß, Maupay, Trossard.

    Two week punt, who do you think are best options over coming gameweeks to replace these guys?

    A) Salah (midfield is KDB, Maddison, Pulisic, Hayden)
    B) VVD (defence is Chilwell, Lundstram, Tomori, Robertson)

        Based on the team I have I can make max 2 subs in order to make the most of having two players.

        Alli & Mount > 1 Midfield & 1 Striker.

        Leaning towards Maupay & Zaha if making those two changes. Otherwise it’s just 1 player.

      That's true. Doesn't mean he's gonna score though

        Took out Zaha for rich because of the arsenal game at home is as tempting as a brownie in the Netherlands, but no Zaha is vs Brighton In a grudgegame is pretty nervous

    Brought in cahill för this GW. No Gary means Greenwood comes of my bench with his eight pointer... this is probably my most succesful transfer of the season

    Palace's back 4 is made out lollipop sticks and glue, but I still have faith in Roy to keep them tight and somehow get a clean sheet.

      Gives them more of an excuse to defend (which they like).

      "I had to play defensively, as we are patched up at the back" etc.

      Same as when they went down to 10 men vs Bournemouth. They love defending as it means they can counter-attack more. They also don't have the ability to break down teams who defend against them.

    This looks like Roy going for it. I’d have put money on 5 in midfield.

    World chess champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway has made a move: He is now at the top of the standings in Fantasy Premier League, an online soccer competition played by more than 7 million people.

    Interesting. I didn't know.

      Ex-Liverpool player Nick Tanner is number two, though he's burnt his chips to get there.
