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.

    assume large chunk are doing Mane to Son given where the price changes are at.

    Is this to maximise the blank then you'll reverse the transfer or keeping Son from now on....?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Many people are making the transfer with no real plan on how to get him back in...
      I’m holding personally

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

      Probably a bit of both depending on his returns and/or your team reshuffle

      Also depends on what price you got Mane in for

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

      I did the move yesterday, makes total sense... son has high ownership and good potential to haul...

      Can easily use your FT to get Mane (or Salah) back in the following week, or if you are willing to risk it, Son has Brighton whereas Mane has Leicester...

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

        I'm also contemplating Salah on wildcard this week
        or as you said use FT to bring back
        Also own Ali

        1. FCSB
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          yep I have Alli too... hoping double spurs pays off... a goal fest v Chelsea would be nice

          we are in the same boat with wildcard too... what week do you think you will use it?

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

            using wildcard this week. too volatile with the short turn around time in gw19/20
            will be a busy week moving several pieces around and having a rough plan for short term transfers if i want to get Mane or Salah back
            really want to avoid hits afterwards

            1. FCSB
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              interesting... i was tempted to wildcard this week but would only be changing 3 players so holding til 19 or 20...

              whats your wildcard team?

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

                Good self control, I've just hit the button

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

                draft team: I am around 40 points from 50k so looking at how I close that gap with wildcard / short term moves.

                Guaita (or Ryan)
                Heaton (will replace)
                Robbo to Aurier
                Soyuncu
                Lundstram
                Kelly
                Tomori to Dunk/Targett
                Mane to Son
                Kdb
                Ali
                Tielemans to Martial (also want Richarlison)
                McGinn (will go not sure who for yet)
                Vardy
                Jimenez
                Ings

                Moving parts
                whether i keep 2m itb for mane/salah. keep jimenez for next 2 or move on wildcard
                keep or upgrade Ings. replace mcginn at similar price or 5 strong midfield....

                1. FCSB
                  • 10 Years
                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  lovely mate

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

      I made that exact move, loose plan is transfer Son to Salah after 'Pool face Leicester.

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I have that plan too, or Mane... will be risky not having either for that game though

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

      I sold Mane (bought for 11.7) on a WC last week for Salah. Salah will go for Rich or Alli this week and I'll get back one of the Liv boys in a couple of weeks after the two tricky fixtures. Points over pounds.

  2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha or Grealish?

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

      Probably Grealish from those two

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

      I'm keeping Zaha till the end of the great fixture-run. I'd be looking at getting Grealish as well tho, as Villas fixtures are pretty good

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

      Grealish

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

    Mane > Son? Bought at 12.1 and have 2FTs

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

      Yep, did that myself yesterday.

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

      Y

  4. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I know -8 are usually frowned upon though I'm liking this as I have the exact money

    TAA Guendouzi Pulisic > Aurier Son Grealish

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

      Done a -8 last week and got a green arrow

      It's not all doom and gloom with the hits

      Not sure selling TAA is great unless you wana get him back eventually, but alright moves

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Pulled the trigger instantly losing TAA sucks but they got some big games. Can spread moolah elsewhere

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

          Yea fair enough

          If it feels good do it

          His price won't get too crazy and investment is minimal

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      i think you could make your points back... but i really dont like hits myself

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah same, only taken 1 or 2 all year. At the end of the day, I'm not going to finish 1st, just hoping to make some gains in my MLs

    3. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      That wouid work Greasy on 4 yellows is my worry

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

      It's a yes, but you'll have to be conservative with hits for a while for it to pay off.

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

    2 FTs:
    A) Mane & Pulisic to Son & Alli
    B) TAA & Pulisic to Aurier & Son

    With B, I'll start Cantwell (WOL) this week to cover Mane.

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

      Toss a coin, but probably A.

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

      no question, A.

  6. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Gaz
    Rico Lund Kelly (Soy)
    Salah* Son Alli Cantwell (Mane)
    Tammy* Vardy Jimenez

    Salah & Tammy -> KDB & Rashford?
    WC intact

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

      I'd just do Salah to KDB and then Jimi to Rash next week

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm not sure whether to worry about Tammy not playing the Boxing Day game or not (given Bats is a decent stand in)

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

      Jim Vardy Tammy

      1. ted mcnure

    1.Pulisic + tomori to Richarlison+targett

    Thanks!!

  9. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Which? (My def. Soy lund taa aurier kely)

    A) start 2 of dendo soy aurier & roll ft
    B) taa to def. For gw18-19 then WC gw20 will get him back
    If b) which def. To get?

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

    Which move:

    A) Cantwell and Salah for Alli and Rich
    B) Salah and Tammy for Alli and Rash
    C) Salah and Tammy for Rich and Kane

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

      Definitely not C, B tempting but I think A is the sensible move.

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

        I know Kane isn't a 'popular' pick on here but does have the fixtures to make a run of it. That being said, your comment is fair.

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years

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

    Post fail.
    Richarlison (c) anyone?

    Just did Mane to Rich for a 1-2 week punt

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

      Depends on your other options.

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

        On paper, kdb seems to best option. But this gw seems to be a better week for a punt, albeit a risky one

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

          I think you're right on being the week for a punt, I also have KDB but will probably captain Jimenez.

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

      Like the Richarlison punt, was thinking about it myself.
      Don’t understand everyone getting Son this week.
      Next week I get.
      Nice to see something different

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

        Well i already have Son. Rich is someone whom I have sights on due to the Arsenal fixture at home and with a new manager imminent.

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

        if on wildcard would make sense if you don't want to bench liverpool

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

          Yes I have a wc for 19-20

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      could work

      must have better options

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

      I was thinking of this. I'm about 75% sure I'll do it, however if Arteta is appointed before the weekend then the risk becomes too great and I'll still bring him in but play it safe with a Son or KDB captain.

  12. dunas_dog

    A Keep Söyüncü

  17. rodragon

    Is targett a good replacement for tomori?

    1. yakirh

      Aurier best replacement

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      i went for Aurier

    3. Phil's Stamps

  18. ☈☾

    Which would be a better duo till GW25

    1. Moura + Targett
    2. Grealish + Aurier

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years

    Which ? (My def. Soy lund taa aurier kely)

    A) start 2 of dendo soy aurier & roll ft
    B) taa to def. For gw18-19 then WC gw20 will get him back
    If b) which def. To get?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B to Targett and upgrade Dendo

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

      Considering Dendo's fixture you can probably get away with A (bench Soy). I think a lot of people will be holding on to their Liverpool assets and playing Dendo this week.

        either want to sell my team, delete it, or go wild with it as nothing is working sadly.

          Looks good, be patient. Maybe lose TAA this week to get KDB in for puli?

            yeah could do, that would leave 4.9 for a defender, but would also cost a -8 this week. Planning to just not care now and build a stellar idfield, wanting Salah as well.

              That’s not really a bad team at all. Be patient. This week might be difficult but it gets better after that.

                Thank you, i'd of been much happier not changing anything as i had salah and kdb not long ago, but neded to takes some risks. Suppose this GW has just been harder to swallow because apart from those two, nobody else really made up the difference.

    Would you play WC this GW or 20?

    1. Tsparkes10

      20

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

      With that team,

      I think you can hold until 20

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

        Was thinking to ship out Mount at least

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

          Wouldn't WC just for that

          Maybe sell for a hit, or next week

    Will probably sell Mane. Not losing value if he drops tonight anyway

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      It's impossible for him to drop tonight, the price drops happened 19 minutes ago.
