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.

    Make or break time in the old FPL season. WILDCARD in the bank. What to do?

    A. Wildcard this week
    B. 2 Free Transfers this week and Wildcard next week?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on your team but probably worth punting on 2 FTs and then wcing. How different would the 2 WCs look?

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

      B

  2. FeedTheGoatAndHeWillScore
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Any ideas on what to do with this lot most welcome.
    2FT and £0.6 in the bank. Cheers

    Ryan McGovern
    TAA, Soy, Willems, Rico, Lund
    Mane, Sterling, KDB, Zaha, Cantwell
    Vardy, Abraham, Ayew

    Thinking of getting rid of TAA but not quite sure what to do with the money leftover

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      You could upgrade Zaha to a Spurs mid or Cantwell to Grealish and play 352?

      1. FeedTheGoatAndHeWillScore
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Who would would be a good replacement for TAA for a few weeks? I'm actually considering Otamendi...

  3. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    2 dilemmas with 2 FTs:

    A: Alli (got Son already)
    B: Grealish

    1: Kelly
    2: Aurier

      A1

  4. Scout15
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I keep coming back to an idea of using a free hit...
    I wouldn't like to have two terrible weeks in a row so not sure if this starting XI is gtg...

    Henderson
    Aurier Kelly Lundstram Soyuncu
    Maddison Alli Zaha
    Vardy Abraham Rashford

    So free hit, yes or no?

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

      No, keep it for a double week

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      use it in a double or blank gameweek

      that team you have posted is template bar no Liverpool - you won't gain much with that

  5. KINGS
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Maddy owners. Keep or swapping out for..?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Season keeper for me still I think

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      keeping. have bigger issues to deal with.

  6. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Evening gents

    Given any moves would be a hit, am I safe to avoid the popular picks of Rashford, Grealish and KDB this week?

    2.1itb
    Guaita
    Lunds, Willems, Rico
    Alli (C), Son, Maddison, Dendo
    Vardy, Tammy, Ings
    (McGovern) (Soy, TAA, Mané)

    Cheers

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, it's a good team!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. But scary going without the players every single post is getting in

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, nice team. Good work on Guaita! I regret not doing Pope to him before City... good luck!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks mate

        V pleased with Guaita. Got him for Pope in GW16 so pretty recent!

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

    Son or Alli for next matches mates?

    Maybe Spurs fans can help

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Alli - 6 goals, 2 assists in 7 games Vs Chelsea
      Son - 2 goals, 0 assists in 8 games Vs Chelsea

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

        I am asking overall not only Chelsea fix 🙂

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      both good, Son is normally captain option @ home, but this week in particular Alli edges it I think.

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

        I am asking overall not only Chelsea fix

    3. Lignja
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      son

    4. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Both after scoring about 40 points in the last 5 games. Both good options, pick Dele if you can find a good use for the 1.3 value he saves you.

  8. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Best captain pick for GW18?

    A) Rashford
    B) Alli
    C) KDB

    1. Eastman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Have all 3 and I’m going KDB

    2. Lignja
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      think A

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Currently on A just over Jimenez then Son.

  9. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this move?

    TAA + Mount > Aurier + Richarlison 2FT

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

    How does this look?

    Henderson
    Doherty Lund Rico
    Alli Son Richarlison Grealish
    Vardy Abraham Jimenez

    Dendo Soy TAA

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      GTG

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Who are you giving the armband to?

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

        On Alli atm.

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

      Really strong, for this week in particular. All the best

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

        Thanks mate, you too. I'll probably get mostly blanks and 4 players suspended for the week after.

  11. Pumpkinhead
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    My dilemma is:

    A) Salah to Rich
    B) Salah to Alli
    C) Salah and Tammy or Ings for Rich and Kane (would hold for 3 weeks) -4
    D) Sarah and Tammy or Ings for Alli and Rash -4

  12. Gentlemens club
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Time to use free hit?

    Team without hits:

    Guaita
    Soy Lund Rico Aurier
    Son KDB Zaha Grealish
    Vardy Mousset

    Connolly/Mane*/TAA*

  13. Nailed Jesus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So...bring in Grealish after he plays tmr is the wise move, even though he may rise tonight?

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

    Mane to Sin then Son to Salah.
    Makes sense?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

      1. Eastman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Why not. I’m beginning to think Salah will shade Mane and thus Mane to Salah a decent move. May as well have Son for one week before finalising the deal.
        I suppose I’m not fully convinced though of wouldn’t bd posting the question.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          It doesn't make sense my dude - Mane to Sin then Son to Salah... Sin is getting lost!!!

    2. Lignja
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      no

    3. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking about something similar:

      Mané -> Alli or Grealish (I have Son)
      Alli or Grealish -> Mané or Salah on 1 or 2 GW

  15. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is it risky to buy Grealish because of the 4 YC?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      + he plays tomorrow

      1. Boomerang V
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe I'll get Alli instead.

        Mané is dropping tonight

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

    KDB or Grealish for this round?

  17. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Free Hit could be a good shout this weekend?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      What would be your 11? How many do you currently have?

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

        I've currently got no Man City so can punt on double City, also can bring in Grealish, Son, Richarlison.... Would keep Vardy, Tammy, Maddy Alli from my current XI but can punt on all my money in first XI

        My bench is currently Mane/Salah/PVA....

  18. 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

    Pulisic Maddy to Son Grealish (-4) ?

  19. De Gea is GOAT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Are Aurier and Son prices likely to rise before next GW guys?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Son should rise tonight and could even rise again toward the end of the week.

      Aurier might, but keep an eye on the price change sites.

    2. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Son may rise tonight...

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys. Might just bite the bullet and make my early moves.

  20. Kszaq
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Do you think many of Liverpool's owners of 2 or 3 players will go -4 this week? Does it make sense to go -4 this exact week while there will be many blanks or rather poor replacements from bench?
    Thinking of TAA+Cantwell to Aurier and Grealish for -4...

    1. Luton_Fan
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking exact same transfers

  21. FPL Theorist
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    After the rather poor performance today from Palace, would you start Cantwell (WOL) over Kelly (new)?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Cantwell i think

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Great, thanks!

  22. Luton_Fan
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So ive narrowed it down to this

    A. Taa, cantwell -> aurier, grealish
    B. Taa, mousset-> targett, rashford

    What u think, tia

    1. Lignja
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      b

  23. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Who to sell 1st???

    Tieleman
    Pulisic???

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

      Tielemans

  24. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    For the next two would you rather have:
    Alli CHE BHA
    or
    Grealish SOU NOR
    ?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely Alli

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Alli

    3. Lignja
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      alli

  25. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Struggling to get funds for Guaita. Which of the following best option below 5 m? Other keeper 4 m bench warmer

    A Ramsdale
    B Ryan
    C Henderson

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

      Ramsdale. It's a blessing in disguise.

      Palace are completely bare bones in defense now that Cahill is out. They conceded tonight as well and Guaita isn't getting 9 saves and maximum bonus every game.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        hmm maybe you're right, but dont forget it is still Bournemouth

      2. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Totally disagree with this. Guaita looks by far the best keeper to get right now- clean sheets+ saves + bonus. I gully regret getting Henderson instead!

        1. Luton_Fan
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Same. 🙁

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

          I think it's hindsight talking. He's been good and Palace are good defensively. But still, you're paying for a bottom half team's goalkeeper for 5.1m. Schmeichel costs 5.3m.

          Chasing points is not what we should be aiming to do.

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks- good fixtures but are Bournemouth not in similar dilemma with Ake, Steve Cook, Adam Smith and Charlie Daniels out?

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

          Yes. But Ramsdale is 0.5m cheaper and has better fixtures for longer.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

  26. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    For next GW (+ possibly the GW after too) before a WC.
    Which combo would you prefer? No Spurs or Utd attackers atm.

    1. Grealish + Kane. Exact cash right now.
    2. Grealish + Rashford.
    3. Richarlison + Rashford.
    4. Son + Jota.

  27. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    For next week only as WC before GW19

    Rash (wat) good stats playing bottom of the league, but boring pick.

    Sterling (LEI) tough game but best team

    Aubameyang (eve) only blanked twice away all season (shu and lei) and I don't think I've ever owned him.

  28. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    For a - 4

    Mings/Pulisic/Mousset OUT

    Aurier/Grealish/Jota IN??

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Solid.

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Jota is really a punt tho right??

        Stats are better than Maupay/Mousset/etc tho

  29. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Money no object who do you prefer for next 4 GW's? Thanks.

    A - Abraham (TOT away, SOU home, ARS away, BHA away)

    B - Jesus (LEI home, WOL away, SHU home EVE home)

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not really high on Tammy right now, but Jesus will lose playing time as it looks like Aguero could be back this weekend. So A if those are your only options.

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, yeah i just checked Aguero news and looks like could be back as you say so A it is!!

  30. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    A. Taa ings to Aurier Rashford
    B. Taa Mount to Aurier Alli

    2FT. Either of these worth it?

    Pope
    Lund - Kelly - Rico
    Son - Maddison - KDB - Mount
    Vardy - Tammy - Ings

    Button Soy TAA Mane

    1. Luton_Fan
      • 16 Years

      B
