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.

    Is Grealish a better choice than KDB this round?

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

      No

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

    So Cahil relatively long term injury (minor operation), should i start Dendoker or Soyuncu instead?

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

      Dendo

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      What's your source for the Cahill injury? I've not seen any info yet

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

    One of Grealish Richa Zaha for next few games?

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

      Rich

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

      Zaha

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

      Richarlison

  4. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Hendo, Button
    Rico, Cahill, Pereira, Lund (TAA)
    Maddison, Son, KDB, Traore (Mane)
    Vardy, Abraham, Mousset

    As Mane is dropping tonight I want to switch him for one week as can't see any other options. Who best to jump to?

    A) Grealish
    B) Alli
    C) Sterling
    D) Richarlison
    E) Martial
    F) Moura

    Or any other suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers

      Ali has a good history vs. Chelsea

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Even if I have Son already?

  5. Spacemonkey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    If you don't have exact funds for a super in-form player on whom you will be out priced soon, would it still make sense to postpone your transfers till Friday night? Are you prepared to miss price change or two?

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

      For me, not this week. If it were Champions League instead of just some cup games where there will be heavy rotation, it might make more sense to wait.

  6. aree036
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    How's this for a hard one:

    A) Kane + Madison

    B) Rashford + Ali

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

      Easy. B

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

      B

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

      Easy B

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

    Bottomed
    For a - 4

    Mings/Pulisic/Mousset OUT

    Aurier/Grealish/Jota IN??

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

      Yep i would

    2. aree036
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure you need to rush Jota in, Mousset has two more decent fixtures

    3. sozopol
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Can you do Mousset/Pulisic to Grealish/Jota for free?

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

        Yep. But forced to play Soy v City coz Mings injured and benching 2 Pool..

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

      Maybe just the first two and avoid a hit
      Mousset vs. Brighton is a decent fixture

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

        How about instead for 2fts..

        Pulisic➡️Richarlson

        Tieleman➡️Grealish?

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

    People selling Mané? And to who?

    1. sozopol
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      See below haha

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sold him for Son yesterday.

  9. toystory2wasok
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    play
    A) soy (mci away)
    b) greenwood (wat away)
    ?

    feel like soy is going to get 2 points against MCI on a good day, but greenwood could sneak a goal.

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

      Sell TAA.

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

        Why? It won't be easy to bring 7m defender back in once you spread the funds

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

      Have the same dillema.
      Currently playing Greenwood

  10. Wrong Captain Again
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Million dollar question for me...

    Abraham + Jimenez OR Rashford + Jota?

    1. Going To Win This Year
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      First one for me tbh.

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This

  11. sozopol
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Mane --> Son, for free. Done.

    A week ago I was thinking it would be KDB out, but nah. I still have TAA and another free transfer, and 4.2 itb. Whee! Other problems to solve include Mousset and Pulisic...

  12. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Any WC to Copy hehehhe
    FOR upcoming 3 Fixtures ?

  13. nibby
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Need some help fellas. What would you do with these lot?

    Guaita (Button)
    Maguire Lundstrom Aurier (Soyunco TAA)
    KDB Maddison Son Alli (Cantwell)
    Maupay Tammy Vardy

    Got 1FT. Which move makes more sense?
    A) save FT
    B) Tammy > Rashford
    C) Maddison > Grealish
    D) other
    Currently thinking doing C. Thoughts? TIA

    1. Going To Win This Year
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I would keep tbh. Madlad always a threat, especially through set pieces. He's been unlucky not to have a couple goals last 2 games.

      Save FT

  14. Going To Win This Year
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Puli out. 2.2 itb

    Anyone thinking moura as a differential over Alli?

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

    get the feeling a lot of free hits (and -4/-8) hits will be taken next GW

    people panicking and overreacting about having Liverpool assets on the bench

    could be a week where 45 points without a hit is a good score

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I think you might be right, think I am content using my one FT.

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

        I'm even thinking to save

        Gundo to Grealish possibly as a free, after CC QF this week

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

    This sub 5.5m defender is a conundrum alright.

    A) Maguire
    B) Evans (double with Soyuncu)
    C) Otamendi

    Very tempted to go Otamendi haha but then again you all laughed at Maguire....

    1. nibby
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I am thinking Otamendi with stones out till new year and fixtures look decent for city. Plus goal threat!

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

      Think Maguire as United have good fixtures over Xmas period and Maguire come close to scoring a few times

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

      go cheaper and spend money elsewhere

  17. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like Mane will drop today, bought I’m at 12.1, which combo would you choose?

    A) Sterling & Jiménez (sell Mane)

    Or

    B) Ings & Grealish (keep Mane)

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Also will play WC next week/week after

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for warning. I could afford Pulisic to KdB, but Mane to KdB for -4 seems to be an option now. (I already ditched Robbo).

      Very tight call and worth asking. You should have other better options imo. What is your team?

  18. nibby
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    If you are playing WC this week, what would your defense look like?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Template, 3 cheapies and 2 others.

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

      My active WC has

      Guaita Button
      Aurier Lundstram Söyüncü Kelly Rico

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

        Same here except I’m keeping Ryan

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

        Prefer Ramsdale over Guaita.

        That 0.5m is useful and Ramsdale's fixtures are better for longer.

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

      I am on WC this week.

      Lundstram, Soyuncu, Rico, Kelly, Otamendi

      Only that last slot is still up in the air.

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

        Otamendi?

        1. nibby
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I am fixed on Lunds Kelly Soy. Considering Baldock, Targett, Otamendi for other 2 spots

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

        Aurier over Ota, both will concede. Aurier better going forward

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

          Can't get Aurier. Maxed out on Spurs and I like Gazzaniga.

          1. nibby
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I have Alli and Son atm. Might bring in Kane after chelsea game so dont want Aurier tbh

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

    For free..

    Pulisic➡️Richarlson

    Tieleman➡️Grealish

    Nice and simple..

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

      Tielemans to Grealish

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

        Both for my 2fts I mean....

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

      B is safer and better, Tielemans vs City unlikely to punish.

  20. 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)

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

        Oui

  21. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance that Salah will drop this week?

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

      Unlikely I think, I'm guessing that a lot of his ownership are dead teams and weirdos that did Mane > Salah this GW.

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Doesn't the threshold also go through the roof when a team has a blank GW? Seem to remember this from last season.

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

          I have no idea actually, coincidentally that's my Christmas catchphrase.

  22. Monya Meow Meow
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Who is Kelly (CP) replacing and is his spot safe for the next few weeks at least?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He's fine until mid Jan or so. Ward is out.

      1. Monya Meow Meow
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Bobby!

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Props to anyone who said that I should play Pukki over Kelly this past GW.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      *everyone

  24. Ojpsan1
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Greenwood to Rashford for -4?

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

    For a 1 week punt GW (or possibly 2) 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.

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

      I like 4

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

    Thoughts on this WC? Left enough in bank for Richarlison to Salah/Mané in couple of weeks

    Ryan
    Aurier Lundstram Kelly
    Son KDB Alli Richarlison Grealish
    Vardy Rashford

    Button Rico Martinelli Söyüncü

  27. doppelganger
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1FT

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

      Ok

  28. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    For those who still own a WC, when would you play it?
    This GW or 20?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Still undecided. Probably GW20.

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

      Now. GW 20 you only have 48 hours to use it. Fewer price rises, less time to plan and adjust.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Depends how your current team would look in GW18 and 19 against how your probable GW20 WC team would look in GW18 and 19. If your current team looks easily better, save for GW20. If it is close or your GW20 WC team looks better, may as well just pull the trigger now.

    4. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Next week to reset after Pool blank.

  29. Going To Win This Year
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I'm not one for taking hits but

    TAA + puli to Aurier and Kdb?

  30. doppelganger
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1ft

    Pope Schmeichel
    TAA Lund Pereira Aurier Rico
    Son Mane Zaha Pulishit Cantwell
    Vardy Tammy Ings

    Puli + Tammy to Rashord + Grealish or something else
    Yay or nay?

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Puli to Grealish is enough, but wait until he's got through the cup game.
