Struijk returns to Leeds side as Eze starts for Crystal Palace

Fantasy Premier League defender Pascal Struijk (£4.0m) returns to the Leeds United starting XI as they face Crystal Palace in Gameweek 8.

The versatile option was recently designated as the replacement for Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) ahead of a Gameweek 6 trip to Liverpool, only to get substituted inside the opening half-hour after a dismal showing.

However, following a 4-1 home defeat to Leicester, Marcelo Bielsa has turned back to Struijk, who comes into the time in the place of Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m).

The main attention from this game is sure to be on the attacking options though with Patrick Bamford (£6.0m) leading the line and yet to blank on the road this season.

Owned by 33.2%, he is the most popular asset at Selhurst Park this afternoon although Wilfried Zaha (£7.4m) is not that far behind him.

Meanwhile, Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) makes his first start since Gameweek 4.

29% of Fantasy managers come into Gameweek 8 with the out-of-position midfielder, who starts up-front with Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) up-front.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Eze, Riedewald, McArthur, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew.

Leeds United XI: Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Struijk; Harrison, Alioski, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

      so much potential. Palace wasn't the right club for him though, he's being forced to do too much defending.

          well exactly, can't complain if it keeps Palace up. But it's not right for Eze, he needs just to be given a free roaming roll up top.

    Is dcl gonna keep the assist for the Everton goal? I thought it came off lindelof, or did dcl flick it onto lindelof first, so he's likely to keep it?
    Only really saw one replay of it.

      Can we stop this topic? First, it's officially given. Second, I am surprised that so many here don't know football. Lindeloef touched the ball doesn't mean it's not DCL's assist. Come on.

        Sorry if my question bothers you so much! Was my understanding that goals and assists can be changed up to the end of the day until the leagues etc are updated.
        Also understanding the rules of football has nothing to do with understanding fpl points, and I mentioned that I saw one replay, hence the question!

          Kane has rolled back the years, look like he's back to 16/17 form. You can ditch but the risk doesn't outweigh the reward for me.

              I'd want both, not KDB. City will have Foden/Bernardo Silva playing in midfield with KDB for most of the season, so KDB will be playing as an 8 rather than a 10.
