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.

    As a Kelly bencher and a Ryan transfer outer a nil nil is wilt I'm dreading.

    Ancelotti to Everton - very interesting.

    1. Hiddenpaw
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Deal done apparently.

      Perfect for the GW19 fixture swing. Play only mci from GW19 to GW26.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        They will be well rested by GW27 then

          10/10

    Got to give credit to Chris Wilder. Seems to have found a way of beating the teams who play more defensively against him (with his marauding CBs), but can then switch to a very defensive system (i.e the CBs don't maraud as much) against better teams.

      That reminds me, I saw something funny on Garth Crooks' team of the week, he's so bad, hoped to trigger TSparkes with it.

      "Twenty five points after 17 league games? Every time I watch Sheffield United I'm left scratching my head wondering how a team playing such basic football can be fifth in the table."

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        His credibility went when he put Moura in the team of the week over Traore, what game did he watch? Wasn’t Spuds vs Wilfs.

      2. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I usually read his team of the week for comedic value, it's a random mix of random statistics and his own opinion on something vaguely related, sometimes he just goes on a tangent and talks about some topical issue, like somehow Mourinho's treatment of the team doctor can get Hazard a spot

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          lol yeah, same, his shoehorning into weird positions just to fit in everyone that scored that weekend as well.

  4. EMBOLOFAN

    MAUPAY MAGIC!

  5. fc_skrald
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1 free transfer left - what is best?:

    a. two free transfers next week
    b. Williams -> Rico and play him instead of Kelly

    Guaita
    Lundstram, Aurier, Kelly
    Son, KDB, Grealish, Maddison
    Vardy, Ings, Greenwood

    Martin, Williams, Salah, TAA, 1.5 million in the bank

  6. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    We have so many injuries, not looking forward to this.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      i personally wouldnt be looking forward to it even if you didnt

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Perfect for Palace. Gives them an excuse to play to their strength (i.e defend for their lives) at home, without the fans getting on the players back.

    3. Party time
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Maupay is 😉

    4. HD7
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      1 FT, 2.2 ITB

      Kasper
      Willems Lund Kelly Rico
      KDB Maddy Pulisic*
      Ings Rashford Vardy

      Subs: Button, TAA, Mane, Hayden

      A) Pulisic to Alli

      B) Pulisic Maddy to Son Grealish (-4) ?

      Havent taken a hit for a while... what do you say?

    5. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Need a hattrick from Zaha.

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Make it happen.

      2. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Let @FPL know, and they'll retweet it.

      3. Effe
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Me too

    6. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ancelotti to Everton confirmed? Holgate over Target?

      1. Ha Ha Land
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yes confirmed. Holgate a good choice now if he continues to play mid.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Players should be back from illness next week.

        Doubt Carlo will have to start a defender in midfield.

    7. FPL FREAK
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Any news why Cahill absent from Crystal Palace 11...?? And he is not even in the squad....

      Is he nailed to have in fpl...??

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Woy said on Thursday their were a few issues but refused to name players.

        Cahill & Townsend it seems, we should find more out at FT.

    8. Ha Ha Land
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Should we bring in Rich or DCL as differential now as Ancelotti takes over Everton? Seems very logical.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        dcl lol

        1. Ha Ha Land
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Must have missed couple weeks of football ehh...

    9. teneighty
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Cahill, what a great transfer in a couple of weeks ago...
      Was planning on playing him and benching Soy i GW18. Surely not worth a minus 4 with Soy on the bench?

    10. JohnnyCroat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      If Kelly scores 6 I tie my cup round... Let's go!

    11. diesel001

      Carlo Ancelotti agrees deal to become Everton manager (Sky Sports)

      https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11888482/carlo-ancelotti-agrees-deal-to-become-everton-manager

    12. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      FPL Cup Foe: 65 pts and owns Ayew
      Me: 67 pts and owns Zaha

      It's gonna be close!!

    13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy at 7.4 if Ancellotti unlocks him will be FPL Gold

    14. sfsfsfe
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Whats up with Gary anyways. Injured again?

    15. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Glenn Murray on the bench. Damn. He loves scoring against Palace.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        and scoring for Palace.

    16. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Have to hope Kelly doesn't score more than 7 points or I would be amazingly out of the FPL Cup!!!!
      Thanks De Bruyne!!

    17. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Palace looking terrible

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        They’re brilliant at that.

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        It's fine.

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        And yet they're not giving Brighton any opportunities. All they need is one of their crappy long balls to work and they can grab a goal.

    18. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A) Mane & Robbo -> Alli (have Son) & Aurier
      B) Mane & Robbo -> Grealish & Aurier
      C) Mane & Cantwell -> Alli & Grealish ?

    19. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Cannot see Ancelotti making it at Everton.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Not the usual type of job he does well at but will be tough to do worse than Silva.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure Ancelotti has the players he needs at Everton.

    20. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Predict the scoreline?

      1. Mr Bird

      2. Gudjohnsen

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years

    21. Legohair
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic&Jimenez to Son&Martinelli good move for free?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Why Martinelli?

        1. Legohair
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Cheap forward and will get some points, he was our best player yesterday, the boy will have creat future

    22. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha looks like he's just seen a ghost.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Same look his owners have when they remember he’s in their team.

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        That's his normal look

    23. Mr Bird
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Team for GW18 - 1FT

      Pope
      Lund Soy Kelly Rico
      KDB Son Alli Cantwell
      Vardy Abraham

      Greenwood Mane TAA

      A) Cantwell > Grealish

      1. Croaker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Any of those options could be good. A probably has the most upside.

      Patricio
