Crystal Palace face Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park in the second of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off in the M23 derby is at 14:00 BST.

All four of the players who have double-digit ownerships from these two teams start this afternoon.

Three of them were doubts for this fixture, be it through injury or rotation risk.

Tyrick Mitchell (£4.2m) sees off the challenge of Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) at left-back for now, with the fit-again Dutchman only among the substitutes.

Tariq Lamptey (£4.7m) and Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) were both flagged with injuries in Fantasy Premier League but the pair are passed fit to feature.

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m), Albion’s most-owned FPL asset, is between the posts again as expected.

Crystal Palace have made four changes in all to the side that were thrashed by Chelsea before the international break.

Gary Cahill (£4.5m) is back after a long-term lay-off and replaces Mamadou Sakho (£4.5m) at centre-half, while Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m) is in for Eberechi Eze (£5.9m) down the Eagles’ left flank.

Jordan Ayew (£5.8m) isn’t in the Palace squad, so Michy Batshuayi (£5.8m) joins Zaha in a two-man attack.

The injured James McCarthy (£4.5m) is replaced by Jairo Riedewald (£4.4m) in the middle of the park, while new signing Nathaniel Clyne (£4.5m) is on the bench.

Brighton make two changes to the team that lost 4-2 against Everton last time out.

Dan Burn (£4.4m) and Adam Lallana (£6.3m) come into the visitors’ starting XI, with Steven Alzate (£4.5m) and Aaron Connolly (£5.5m) dropping to the bench – possibly as a result of their exertions with their respective countries over the international break.


Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Cahill, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp, McArthur, Riedewald, Townsend; Zaha, Batshuayi.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Webster, Dunk, White; Burn, Bissouma, Lallana, Lamptey; Trossard, Maupay, March.

    Lamptey most overrated pick this season?

    Already risen twice in price. Owners dont want to bench him. Plays for brighton

    And has a grand total of..

    Wait for it ..

    11 points from 4 games

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      6 years, 11 days ago

      one of those funny players favoured on here

      another one is Ryan

    2. Hulk Smash
      6 years, 11 days ago

      It's more than most defenders who started at 4.5. If they ever manage a clean sheet his attacking potential makes a haul likely.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      IMO FPL should deduct a point for giving away a penalty too

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        6 years, 11 days ago

        This was the case before if I'm not wrong

    4. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Lol just looking at points is silly, he hasn't had a cleanie due to minutes

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I have him and think he's overrated. Would not have bought him if I didn't manage to get him for 4.5m on WC.

    6. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Tbf 0 was unlucky last week, and the only other game I had him for he got an assist and could’ve got more. Already forced a goal line clearance in this game

    7. S.Kuqi
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Any better options for 4.5?

      1. Obi wan Iwobi
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Ward and Konsa have fixtures

    8. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      It's almost as if the number of FPL points scored so far has absolutely no bearing on what might happen in the future. Anyone can pick all the players who have already scored lots of points and spend the whole season chasing. The skill is predicting where the points are coming from next.

    9. ReindeerHotdog
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Nobody is comparing him to defenders 5.5m and higher.

      His worth comes in his relative pricing combined with the position he plays.

      CS potential seems low this season for whatever reason. Having cheap defenders who are attacking players seems like a good approach.

      The main benefit resides in the fact you can reinvest that saved money to strengthen your team. He's not an overrated pick because nobody is expecting anything other than relative worth/returns.

      1. FPL Daniel
        6 years, 11 days ago

        he is not overrated imo

    10. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 11 days ago

      3rd defender rotation option

    11. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He's looked great though if you actually watch the games, almost scored already and getting lots of crosses in. Defenders ain't for clean sheets this season if you hadn't noticed.

    12. Brosstan
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Good pick for those who got him at 4.5. would rather pick dallas/Ayling now

  2. Don Kloppeone
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Wilf is going to haul now isn’t he...

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Actually looks like he could, palace looking miles better after that

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      i think so

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Lets hope so

      1. Don Kloppeone
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Let’s not!!

        Unless you meant Maupay 😉

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          6 years, 11 days ago

          No, I meant Zaha 😉 would never sell him before playing Brighton

          1. Don Kloppeone
            6 years, 11 days ago

            No I agree but I never had Zaha in first place.

            Got Maupay in on my WC this week...

  3. Jimmy Boy
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Worth keeping Trent for one more GW? Got the double up with Robbo but seems wrong to get rid of a Liverpool defender before they have arguably the easiest fixture on paper at the moment.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      6 years, 11 days ago

      depends what you do with the money but would hold for SHU

    2. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I'd keep

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Just 1 more, sell after that.

    4. Holmes
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I would like to get rid asap but not enough transfers

    5. The Mandalorian
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Keep

    6. Shark Team
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Ofc keep

    7. F_Ivanovic
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Only reason to get rid would be so you can immediately use the money elsewhere but I wouldn't be doing it for a hit so it would have to be when I have 2 saved transfers or before they play City.

  4. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Lamprey almost scored earlier?

    Cmon lad you got this

    1. Rogue Todd
      6 years, 11 days ago

      A lamprey is an eel

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Whoops

      2. Brosstan
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Slippery fella

  5. Botman and Robben
    6 years, 11 days ago

    18.1% of the top 100K own Zaha.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 11 days ago

      That's higher than I thought.

    2. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Most in top 100k are casuals who already had him thats why theyre their

    3. Make United Great Again
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Ffs

  6. The Mandalorian
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Slight brag but on 19 points with a minus 4 and four players left.

    1. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Thats not a brag thats a poor score

      1. Niho992
        6 years, 11 days ago

        hello mr. obvious, u dont say

      2. ReindeerHotdog
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I think he might have been joking.

    2. Hulk Smash
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Save some points for the rest of us

    3. Andre W
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Nice, I'm on 19 with 3 left

  7. ivantys
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Brighton are one of the whipping boys this season, not sure why ppl even sell zaha before this fixture.

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      looks like they play open game

      1. ivantys
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I'm not an owner but just amazed ppl are selling as one of the defence I'm targeting is Brighton's this season

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Because he was an injury doubt 🙁

  8. Niho992
    6 years, 11 days ago

    From 200 K to 800 K. What a GW, and it's not finished yet

    1. Don Kloppeone
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I would pay to be up at 800k!

      At 3.2M for me 😆

      1. Niho992
        6 years, 11 days ago

        hahaha, i hope you will get green arrows mate soon !

        1. Don Kloppeone
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Thanks mate. You’d hope they’d be coming!

          First season in last 4 that I’m even outside the top 300kcat any point. Weird start to a season!

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Luxury! We have it tough down here at 4.9m (live rank 5.0 million)

        1. Don Kloppeone
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Luck will turn mate. Guaranteed!

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Cheers mate - I wish that I shared your sense of optimism! 🙂

            1. Don Kloppeone
              6 years, 11 days ago

              Although saying that, I’ve never been this low before!

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      6 years, 11 days ago

      same wtf

  9. Rogue Todd
    6 years, 11 days ago

    The person doing the fake crowd noise is having a shocker

    1. The Mandalorian
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They've got a sore throat

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Lost his sense of smell too?

  10. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 11 days ago

    come on Trossard score a worldie with Lamptey assist

  11. mdm
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Keep or sell Werner?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Keep for United game then see

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      depends who is in your strikeforce

      1. mdm
        6 years, 11 days ago

        DCL and Jimi

        1. FPL Daniel
          6 years, 11 days ago

          sell for Kane

    3. have you seen cyan
      6 years, 11 days ago

      keep

    4. Hulk Smash
      6 years, 11 days ago

      If you've held this long you have to keep him

    5. Jay Jay Okocha
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Can't believe anybody would consider selling after seeing full strength Chelsea attack

    6. Holmes
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Keep now that he will finally play upfront

  12. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Son will make or break this for many people, with the armband for me no less. Currently at a 13pt deficit on my moves this week, with only him to help that

    1. S.Kuqi
      6 years, 11 days ago

      3 pointter coming unfortunately

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        It’s inevitable isn’t it? Finally had enough of Werner so ditched him for DCL and used the funds for Foden to Son

    2. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I captained him so a blank is coming for him

    3. Niho992
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He will score hattie surely. I was between KdB to Son (C) for free and KdB and Adams to Grealish and Kane (C) for -4. Ofc i chosed 2nd option

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I’d be more comfortable with the latter ngl. Despite the Adams haul for you obv, I’d love to have Grealish

        1. Niho992
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Almost everyone have Son (C) in my ML so....

  13. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Benched Justin for Lamptey. Was it the right call?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 11 days ago

      nk

      1. FPL Daniel
        6 years, 11 days ago

        what nk means?

        1. Gobigorgohome
          6 years, 11 days ago

          no obviously

          1. You've got red on you.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 11 days ago

            No Kobviously

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      We soon shall see. I hope it was the wrong one, sorry Dan.

      Leicester defence decimated w injuries also, may struggle to hold an in form Villa out. Wish I could’ve got Grealish in

      1. FPL Daniel
        6 years, 11 days ago

        thanks lads. thanks TLD, well said, no hard feelings. cheers

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Justin also big attacking threat tho ofc so if he gets people on the end of his crosses....

  14. Don Kloppeone
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Close Maupay!

    1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      6 years, 11 days ago

      The ball flied 5 meters above the goal.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I guess I was too subtle in my sarcasm!

  15. Gobigorgohome
    6 years, 11 days ago

    May be I am not that good at FPL 🙁

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      it's still early. 5 GWs in a COVID situation. Of course you are good at FPL

      1. Gobigorgohome
        6 years, 11 days ago

        thanks.. it really lifts me up..
        playing this game for 9 years now and not enjoying this year yet..

        hope it will get better...

    2. S.Kuqi
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Thinking the same. I used to be good at this. Should have retired

      1. S.Kuqi
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Altough all the veterans and managers who I rate in my ml aren't doing much better.

        1. Gobigorgohome
          6 years, 11 days ago

          yes.. most decisions not going our way it seems

        2. Make United Great Again
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Been a dreadful start for many experienced players

    3. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Probably many of us have left behind, need to look at it as a new game.

  16. Shark Team
    6 years, 11 days ago

    That wasn't a pen but I have to say that Maupay already has more goal attempts than any other fwd who played against Palace away so far this season

    1. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Wow really
      Remember che adams missing lots of chances

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah, shame most of them barely had enough poke to even get over the line

  17. The Mandalorian
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Bringing in Antonio for that LPool game looks like it's got goals in it

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I have him and starting him

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Could be my Jimenez replacement should the Mexican fail again

      1. The Mandalorian
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Yeah I think wolves attacking stats are down from last season

  18. Werner Bremen
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Best Spurs DEF?

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Dier or Reg

    2. DAZZ
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Doherty or Reguilon

  19. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Mitchell mega haul incoming while 3rd on my bench. Wanted to play him but was told he wouldn't start because PVA is back.

    1. Garlana
      6 years, 11 days ago

      dont allow yourself to be told 😉 ....but you're right, it was expected PVA would play over him.

  20. Make United Great Again
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Currently ranked at 3.5m. Worst start ever ffs

    1. Botman and Robben
      6 years, 11 days ago

      33 more GWs to go.

    2. Flynny
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I'm at 4.5m and having another awful week.

      Its soul destroying isn't it.

      1. Make United Great Again
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Nothing is working!! 🙁

        1. Flynny
          6 years, 11 days ago

          No....every week I convince myself next week will be better - but its always worse!

          Son captain could change things today but scared at not owning Kane

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      5.4m but actually having an OK week, might even pass 40 points

    4. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 11 days ago

      from 200K to 1.5 million in 3 GWs

      played WC this GW

      sold Bruno Che Adams and they scored big.. 🙁

    5. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      How can we all be doing so awfully? Someone must be doing well???

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Can anyone who watched the Chelsea game let in on how it went for their popular assets?

    How was Havertz? Just got him as my KDB replacement so will take a goal ofc, but was it a fluke or was he decent?

    What about Werner, more of a viable option now? Or was that game a lot to do with Saints awful defensively

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      The attacking players that have been talked about were all most excellent! Definitely all good fpl options. Only problem is knowing which one will get the points each week. Could see them sharing the points around too much.

      Defensively atrocious though.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 11 days ago

      No one really played well, Werner just had a bit of luck and should have been tackled for both goals.

      Havertz had a tap in, didn’t do much either

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 11 days ago

      The 4 up front had no fixed positions they kept rotating and running around. It's hard to predict who's gonna score the goals from them.

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Saints arent bad defensively, but they play a high line. A high line is suceptible to fast attackers. Werner is a fast attacker.

  22. The Mandalorian
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Klopp is full of praise for DCL big season for him.

  23. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Zaha gonna troll me regardless of my decision.

    Get him in = blanks

    Don't get him in = goals

    Think maybe he exists cross dimensionally, trolling both owners and non owners simultaneously.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah certain players I don’t remember ever doing well for me, so I just kinda don’t have interest in. Zaha one of those, can be so streaky.

      Aubameyang always trolls me too, almost without fail.

      I don’t remember when I last owned Son...

    2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He is a definition of a non consistent player who blanks and returns as he wants.

  24. socho
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Palace is such a defensive minded team. Final score 1-0

  25. Joey Tribbiani
    6 years, 11 days ago

    I want jammy pens for my players too!

    1. Niho992
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I wont tbf. Already had Mitro

  26. Jay Jay Okocha
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Have 2 FT, would you rather turn Jimenez into Pulisic or DCL?

    1. Make United Great Again
      6 years, 11 days ago

      DCL. He won’t stop scoring

    2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Well done on selling a player that scored 22 goals last season and was already on 3 from 4 this season.

    Zaha, Schlupp, Lamptey. There's a lot of pace down that side of the pitch.
