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.

      idk fpl stats cant be relied upon to make that call

      1. jamie1972
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he's right on the cusp

  2. FPL FREAK

    On WC:

    Pope > Ramsdale or Gazzaniga....??

    Budget is 4.6

    Both are conceding goals...

    WHO should I pick and WHY...?

    1. FPL FREAK
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Guys help me.....

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Have you fallen down a well?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Whats the lassie? Some guy has fallen down a well and is refusing to cough up an extra 0.1 for a keeper who is 5x better than any alternative below his price?

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Henderson? Not Gazza Lloris will be bag eventually and Spurs cant do many cs. Hend or Guaita, one of them

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        sorry, didnt see 4.6 find the money for Hend, idc how 😀

      2. FPL FREAK
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Can't afford Henderson.. Only 4.6 is my budget...

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Ramsdale. Good fixtures for a while. Not a transfer waiting to happen which Gazz is.

      That said, it's close. I bought Gazz at 4.5m so I'm planning to keep him.

  3. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Lads, any ideas for this team? 2 ft, WC still available

    Pope
    *TAA*, Chilwell, Lundstram / Kelly, Rico
    *Salah*, KDB, Alli, Mount / Traoré
    Vardy, Abraham, Jiménez

    Yes, TAA and Salah will both not play. But, that being said, feels wrong to ditch Liverpool assets when I could bench them and play Traoré, and Kelly/Rico. Don't really know what to do tbh.

    1. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You have 2 free transfers use them and then wildcard next week or week after, you have to use it anyway in week 19 or 20. Your not loosing any value on Salah so take him out. Few suggestions
      Salah > Son
      Abraham > Rashford
      Mount > Martial
      Traore > Grealish

      1. sirmorbach

        Sound advice, mate. Appreciate it.

    Good moves and if so which one of Jim or Tam.

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You saw what Rashford did to the team that sit in defence non stop... I’d not get rid of Jimi prior to Norwich

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah must admit I'm not sold on the idea.

  9. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Man I distinctly remember weighing up my options in GW 14. I had 2FTs and a host of options. These were the 4 I remember weighing up.

    A) Salah + Cantwell = 53 points (+Rico's 9 off the bench)
    B) Son + Pulisic = 35 points
    C) Rashford + Alli = 64 points
    D) Firmino + Pulisic = 19 points

    Of course I went Son + Pulisic. That difference of 29 points if I had gone Rash + Alli would put me in the top 10K instead of my current ~40K or so. It's really crazy to see these pivot points looking back.

    Heck even Salah + Cantwell would have been better. If I picked the disaster option, I'd be down 16 points.

      • 13 Years

      What’s the point in dwelling on stuff like this? It’s pointless. Put your effort into looking ahead.

      You need to understand this is whats called variance. I can imagine you made a desicion after long thinking. So what has really changes actually?

      Nothing. You have only got 1 extra samplesize which is what happend right now this season, this period. You still dont know what the correct desicion is.

      You need to imagine yourself in the same situation over and over again. Thats the only way to figure out what the correct choice is.

      So dont feel bad about it if you made your choice based on all the information you had. Thats resultoriented thinking and the wrong way.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I don't feel bad. It is variance as you say. I made what I thought was the best choice at the time and it didn't pan out.

    3. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think you really need to take a step back from FPL mate - maybe a break for the rest of the season and focus on other things? It’s easy to start getting too involved with this stuff.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Trust me, I'm dealing with a lot better this year than in the past. I took 4 years off because of burn out haha. My mindset is better than it's ever been honestly.

  10. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Just did TAA, Ings & Tomori -> Wan-Bissaka, Rashford & Rico (-4).
    0 FTs 0.0 ITB

    Gtg?

    Guaita
    WanB - Lundstram - Rico
    KDB - Maddison - Zaha - Cantwell
    Vardy - (C)Rashford - Abraham

    (Button, Söyüncü, Robertson, Mané)

    Son Vs Alli, what's the general conceus?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I just got both and will hold for a little while. Probably will rethink it in 2 or 4 weeks time.

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Same here

      2. Reckoner.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Already have Kane, thinking a triple up is too risky + costly.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Ditch Kane. Not worth the money.

  12. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone tempted to take a punt on Aguero this GW, this feels like the sort of GW where a punt can be afforded

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      will he play?

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      How do you have the budget to punt on Aguero?

    3. Futbol Heritage
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I have the budget to punt on Aguero after selling TAA for Kelly and somehow having 7.8 in the bank. I can go Greenwood to Kun on my 2nd FT if confirmed fit.

      With no clear captaincy options and in the midst of a terrible season, I am warming up to this idea.

      1. Futbol Heritage
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Not expected back till Christmas. Damn

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    Kane or Rashford (c)?

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years

      rashford

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

  14. Kuzser
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which option is better here guys?
    2ft, 0.4itb

    1. Saka-> Dendo/Hayden/ Cantwell
    2. Taa Saka-> Grealish 4.3def (Rico/Manquilo). Enough itb to do Jiménez-> Rashford gw19
    3. Maddison Saka -> Grealish James
    4. Mane Saka -> Son Grealish

    Henderson

  17. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions on how to use 2 FTs here? Bought Mane at 12.1 btw so not much value tied up in him.

    Guaita
    TAA*, Lundstram, Rico
    Mane* KDB, Alli, Mount
    Vardy, Tammy, Jimenez

    Button, Dendo, Soy, Tomori

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      TAA and mount -> targett and richarlison

  18. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    A) Firmino, Cantwell, Mount > Martinelli, Grealish, Rich (-4)

    B) Firmino, Mount > Maupay, Rich

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years

    Salah mane KDB Son Alli
    Vardy Mousett Mattanelli

    1. Totti

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      extremely simialr to what i'm trying to build, but at the moment i've got Maddsion where KDB is in the plans, otherwise i'd have to boot both Rash and Tammy off or just turn my Son into KDB.

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years

      Like it.

    Took KDB out a few weeks back, this week has been a lesson.

    Wc20

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not want Mane back?
      Just deciding now if it's points lost and move on or correct it and points chasing? It was only Arsenal after all, but it's something i'm trying to decide between nonetheless.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        IF.......I get KDB back then I can do Maddy & Trent to Salah/Mane & 4.7?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          That;s work i guess as losing TAA isn't the end of the world 🙂
          Leicesters fixtures turn good again after these tricky ones though.

          I'm trying to decide between:

          Mane - KDB - Alli - Salah in a 442

          or

          Mane - Son - Alli - Salah - Maddison in a 352

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I would have Mane/Salah, Son, Alli, KDB, Grealish??

            VAR up front.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah that’s achievable, i think...i want both mane + Salah though, greedy haha

            2. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Also then a benching headache i guess, a forward needs to be sacrificed

              1. g40steve
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Decisions, decisions, KDB going up tonight & Mane not playing this week going to drop??

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 14 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  haha indeed. I dunno if mane will drop, and kdb should be ok for tonight.

  22. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Quick and easy, would you rather have Son or KDB? At least for immediate fixtures to come?

    And this is excluding Arsenal becasue we know what their defence is like 😉

    Cheers gents.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I took out KDB for Son, unsure if to hold & see if points return.
      Too many big guns got 2 points.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Personally, excluding Arsenal as the anomaly, i reckon Spurs have it a hell of a lot easier than City, but it's a decision that's hard to call all the same.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Son.

      Tottenham look like glass cannons which is the best thing for FPL.

      But KdB is a season keeper. And I've had him since GW 1 so will not be touching him.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers Cmazy. Agreed he's a season keeper and i should of never got rid, but i had to take risks. This helps though as i can only have one or the other. So Son in your opinion then, cheers bud.

      Not this week. Mane to someone, then wildcard him back in.

      I don’t know why you would

  24. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    A) TAA + Maddison
    B) Dunk + Son

    Which does best over the next 5. Dunk would rotate

  25. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pogback. I have a feeling that Pogba's imminent return to the Man Utd team will finally give them the structure they need to break teams down and start providing consistent returns for the likes of Rashford, Martial and Greenwood.

    McT and Fred are OK at breaking play down, but Utd have been missing a creative midfielder who can transition from defence to attack and play the quality passes the the likes of Martial will feed off. Lingard doesn't really provide this type of service.

    A 4-3-3 (or 4-2-3-1) with McTominay, Fred and Pogba supporting Rash Martial and James/Greenwood should make a huge difference. I realise Pogba isn't everyone's cup of tea, but when on form he's a quality midfielder who can create loads of chances.

    Is anyone else keeping a close watch on Pogba's return to start loading up on Man Utd attackers?

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Talk of him leaving soon, I'm not sure how arsed he'll be and he's not as good as his hype suggests anyway.

  26. CFC1990
    • 14 Years

    Anyone tempted by Richarlison?

    Nice fixtures coming up except Man City away.

    1. Third Eye Vision

      Scored in 3 of the last 4 away games, including Leicester and Liverpool.

      Yes
