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.

    Did the match start early?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      19:45 Kick Off

      1. tm245

        6 years, 4 months ago

        Ah, cheers.

  2. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy to Rashford worth a FT?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I would rather Tammy.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

  3. FPL FREAK
    • 12 Years

    Good cheap defender for playing 11...?? Budget 4.5...

    Needed to replace lescalles...

    WC TEAM:

    Gazzaniga. Button.
    Lescalles. Lundstram. Rico. Kelly. Reid.
    Mane. KDB. Son. Alli. Hayden.
    Vardy. Abraham. Rashford.

    ..

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

      Anyone...??

      1. norab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Targett

  4. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Remember when Benteke was good? I wonder what happened to him?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He used to be amazing.

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        0 confidence.

  5. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Got my eye on Kelly as a first time owner. He’s a bit crap isn’t he?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good in fpl terms though, 4.3m getting 4.5ppg.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah he’s poor but at CB at RB doesn’t help.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thought he looked tall for a fb

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      20 PTS over the last 3 games is not that bad, better when CB than covering as RB like he is now.

  6. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha and Tielemans need to leave my team.

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Offside should save Palace from conceding a pen.

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

      Or not 😮

  8. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thought that was a pen.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Amazed it wasn’t as I sold Montoya for Kelly this week

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He did catch him

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    2nd Guaita.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Getting peppered?

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

        Nah, 2 in a minute. Montoya falling shot & tame Dunk header from the result corner.

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Nice 2 quickfire saves for Guiata

    7 more Vicente - you can do it

  11. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Gas having 2 famous people duking it out for FPL glory. Nick Tanner will be hoping this game finishes 0:0, with 3 defensive assets.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Famous? I’ve only heard of them because of FPL 😀

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

        This haha

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        😆

      3. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Magnus possibly greatest ever chess player, Tanner, played under Souness!

      4. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Bit ridiculous that Magnus is only now getting headlines due to fpl, at this rate the winner should feature on SPOTY.

  12. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    GW18 is a terrible set of fixtures

    Could be a good week to unearth a few good differentials

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      100% I'm looking at Kane and Rich in

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah no clear winners for a drumming which ruins the FH for that week.

      Grealish could be the hidden jewel.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Grealish is certainly a good pick given his next 4 fixtures and should hopefully start all 4 games

    3. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Looking forward to getting some of my bench points on the pitch

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Ings, Pukki, Fleck and Shelvey the only attackers below 7m who have a Form of 5.0ppg or more - I guess we are getting what we pay for this holiday season.

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

    Pope / Button
    TAA / Aurier / Lund / Soy / Rico
    Mane / KDB / Maddison / Alli / Cantwell
    Vardy / Tammy / Jimenez

    2 FT
    0,1£ ITB

    Guys, any advices - what to do? Thanks!

    Like lose TAA to Kelly.. And Cantwell or Maddison to Grealish.. But don't know if I want to lose TAA or Maddison (season keeper?).

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Team looks pretty good to me.

    2. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Im almost in the same spot as you are. I did Maddison to Grealish. But im a villa fan so bit biased!

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

      Pope --> Ramsdale?

  15. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Makes my life easier to do Zaha to Alli when he plays so poorly right now

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Ah what happened to Cahill I only brought him in this week?? Aurier ahead of Rico on the bench too of course.

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

    Pepe is better than Zara, Pepe... what was I thinking.

  18. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I need someone to score. Cup rival has Ryan and Kelly. I have no players left but I am leading by 14 points. If this ends up a nil-nil tie I can see him getting those points with a few save and bonus point 🙁

  19. michaelington
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Are Crystal Palace the dullest premier league team?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Currently injury riddled, but probably up there.

      Don't care once they get that cs though!

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They have so many injuries, I don't blame them for playing conservatively.

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not when we have all our players fit and firing on the counter attack. Really patched up now on bare bones.

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Just after Man Utd.

  20. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Son in for FT and (c) GW18 & 19 - short term two GW rental for Mo

    Mo back in and (c) for GW20 & 21

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I would

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yesterday I was in the space of flogging Pulisic, now I’m thinking the bigger payback might be from captaining Son

        No guarantees Pulisic even starts v spurs after that recent run though

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Or possibly even worse, starts vs Spurs, blanks then benched for CHO against Southampton after you've been tempted into keeping.

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Save point 😎

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Already! What an FPL legend

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Disgusting.

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Legend

  22. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is it time to get rid of Mount?

    Worried he will be benched against Spurs with Chelsea playing Kovacic, Kante and Jorginho. They have done this in several big away games.

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      If you got him for 6 or so, he's not bad value. Depends on your team, but it probably is, yes.

      1. CFC1990
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I have 8 decent attackers. Will downgrade one after Christmas period. I got him at 6m so unsure really.

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Get a sh!tter and spend elsewhere if you have 3 good strikers

  23. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    (C)?

    Richarlison
    Son/Ali
    Jimenez

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      B or C

    2. lindeg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      jimi

  24. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Only a matter of time for Brighton here, but hey, Guaita on 3 saves already

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      In line for bonus even if they concede in fairness

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        They prob will, but I'll take the saves

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Guiata save point #1 in the bag before he 30 minute mark 🙂

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Haven't actually watched many Palace games, but he seems like a competent enough keeper

  26. Lumberjack
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Need to get rid of Tomori - is Soy still the best replacement?

    £5.1m max, also have Lund/Rico/Kelly/TAA and Hendo in goal.

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He was, but the kind fixtures have come to an end. Not bad long term, of if you got early

      His price will probably stabilize but Aurier is probably the best bet for sure

  27. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I am at a loss as to why the season ticker have rated games against Arsenal as difficult.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Scouts trying to give themselves a boost in OR by giving bad info.

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Colour coded system is broken this season. It's well off

      Same with Pool, City, Chelsea and Man United

      Not many cs's for any of them

  28. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    LMS safety score currently 49

  29. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford or Jimmy?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Either is good

  30. Ho Ho Hotamendi
    d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Xmas differential anyone?

    Ill start...

    Nicolas Otamendi

    Price: 5m!
    Ownership: 2.3%!

    Fixtures:

    LEI, wol, SHU, EVE, avl, CRY, shu

    Pros:
    1. Good for bonus when City keep a CS
    2. Big goal threat from set pieces - He has the second highest goals per minute ratios of all defenders that have played a significant (800 +) amount of minutes.
    3. City possibly over their rough patch?
    4. Decent run of games after Leicester.
    5. Nice timing for those jumping off Liverpool assets due to the blank

    Cons:
    1. We've been here before, it didn't end too well
    2. Is he nailed on?
    3. City have struggled for CS so far (who hasn't though?)
    4. Cheaper players such as Rico, Kelly probably better value (but high ownership)

    Opinion:

    I like it, not many defenders come with a goal threat like his, With City surely its only a matter of time before they click back into gear (signs maybe already). I also think he has a chance to hold off Stones who has been extremely poor and Pep appeared visibly upset with him in the game against Man United. If they can put a run of CS together i think he stays. 5m makes him a fairly low risk punt imo.

    What do you think?
    What differentials do you like for the next 6 games?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Gylfi Sigurdsson

      Absolutely nothing to back this up other than he has a great pedigree, would be back on set pieces with Digne crocked, and Ancellotti might like him

      Much better price at 7.4 than the 8.0 he started at too

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Baines on set pieces though?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Would Siggy not take them if he was on the pitch... he was missing through illness v utd

      2. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Siggy better than Richarlison for 0.4 less?

      3. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Siggy always has a spell at some point.

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pukki

      Odd really that no one has been mentioning him

      1. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Once bitten etc. Not sure if convinced that Norwich are truly out of the woods. Likewise with Otamendi, Perez etc. needs time to rebuild the trust

      2. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        6 years, 4 months ago

        4 attacking returns in last 5 i think. Nice

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Actually thinking about Mousett > Diogo Jota to go along side Jimenez for Norwich away.
      If not him Traore.

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Jota has looked great on the eye of late imo

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          The only thing making me hesitate is there following two fixtures City and Liverpool. Although Wolves are usually good against harder opponents the double up might be a little too much .
          Could get Jota in then move Jimenez the week after.

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Shhhhhhhhhhh dont let anyone know....

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      If Martial were to get injured.... sorry let me start that again

      WHEN Martial gets injured - surely Greenwood has a good case for a start at 4.3?

      That would be a hell of a differential right there

    6. Lokomotivvv
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lucas Moura anyone? 3 goals in last 5 at 7 millions.

    7. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Shhhhhh this was my transfer on Friday assuming no midweek injuries

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        yeah same - going TAA to Otamendi on Friday

        1. Winners900
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          same, great with other having same thoughts

    8. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sold Ota for Rico which has gone someway to funding Alli coming in. I'm doing Mane>Mr Punty this week whoever that ends up being, then will prob bring Salah back. My team is ticking nicely and with only 0.2 ITB my hands are tied even with 2 FTs and a wildcard! Don't want to mess things up!

    9. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Be honest Luke, the main reason you suggested this is because you wanted to use Ho Ho Hotamendi as a hot topic title 🙂

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yep =)

    10. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Had him for his 15-pointer think it was but then he didn't play for me for ages so a bit bruised from that experience. Could do it again though. Security of starts the big one. Pep kept playing him in CL and ditching him for PL

    11. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy, followed by Traore will rip Ota apart in the next 2 games.

      I'm looking at defensive resilience. At the expense of attacking, Palace and Bournemouth are doing great jobs at organising their patched-up defenses. In addition, Pearson's Watford defended magnificently, rather overlooked in their comically hapless finishing. I can see a Watford cleanie and naff all to Rashford on Saturday.

    12. Dananz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Does anyone else think that Mendy kind of looks like half the player that Otamendi is?...

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

        Or am I the first person make this lame joke?

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

          (I've been dying to for ages.)

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

            Go on, have an upvote!

    13. Sir EFO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw ... good fix, attacking potential
