Fantasy Premier League’s top two points scorers are in action at Selhurst Park this afternoon in the second of five matches to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 14:15 GMT.

Son Heung-min (£9.6m), FPL’s newly crowned most-owned player, and Harry Kane (£10.9m) have already plundered 198 points between this season and both start, as expected, in south London.

Jose Mourinho has made only one change to his line-up from the side that defeated Arsenal last weekend, with Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) replacing Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m).

Gareth Bale (£9.4m) isn’t part of the visitors’ matchday squad but Dele Alli (£7.4m) makes the bench, having been out in the cold on the domestic front since Gameweek 4.

Bale is apparently absent through illness.

The Palace team news is even more straightforward, with Roy Hodgson unsurprisingly naming the same starting XI that thrashed West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 11.

Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m) was sent home from training on Friday with an illness and misses out, although the budget FPL defender has only made Hodgson’s 18-man squad once since Gameweek 6 anyway.

Along with Kane and Son, Wilfried Zaha is among the top five FPL players for points per match.

The Ivory Coast international averages exactly 8.0 points per game in 2020/21, with three double-digit hauls to his name already – although all of those have come away from home.

A further 287,699 FPL managers brought Zaha into their squads ahead of Friday’s deadline and the Palace talisman is already the most-bought player of Gameweek 13, too.


Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Clyne, Kouyaté, Cahill, Van Aanholt, Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Eze, Zaha, Benteke.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

      unlikely

    4. Positive vibes

      No

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

      It was a guaranteed cleanie. Nice one.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Camzy!

  6. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane is just going to go ahead and hatty while everyone's brought Salah in for him.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Probably lol

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I need both to haul.

    3. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    4. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A surprising amount of Kane (c) in my MLS, so not thank you

  7. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha will cause serious problems for Spurs

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Blank incoming

  8. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Happy to get something from ings and Southampton look on the up, would be happy to hold any of the defence or either forward atm

  9. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I’m sensing a sneaky 1-0 palace smash and grab here

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Seems like the perfect time for an unexpected result like that

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        They’re an awkward team to break down and have some threat on the counter. Easy win if spurs score first but longer it goes 0-0 or if they Knick one then going to be a long afternoon

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It's Guaita he will concede for sure

  10. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hopefully Palace play with a very low block and don't commit any players to attack. Then let Zaha and Eze do the damage with their individual skill i.e. rely on a moment of magic

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hodgson's been doing it for the past decade, he can try and do what Burnley and West Brom were so nearly successful at.

  11. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Prediction:
    MU 0-0 ShU
    Saves: De Gea 0, Ramsdale 13
    BPS:
    Ramsdale 3
    Telles 2
    Maguire 1

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Fernandes being rested so doesn’t matter

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Would be funny if FPLGeneral finally sells him for a hit and this happens

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I started the season with Ramsdale too (don't have him any more) - and last season I started with Foster. Wonder who I will pick next season?

  12. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Surely this is the week to get Bruno in?

    Werner & Grealish > Bruno & Bamford?

    No other way of getting him in without losing Grealish.

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm very scared he'll be rested but he's a must. EVEN without penalties he always has the potential to haul, and he has pens too!

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Why would he be rested when the game is in thursday

        1. The Senate
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He looked knackered and MU have to play Sunday and Wednesday after that. plus it's only ShU

        2. TomSaints
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          1. Carrying a knock
          2. Easiest fixture on paper
          3. Crazy Christmas period starting

          He’s going to get a break (everyone will) over next few

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Wouldnt a break the following midweek make more sense

            5 fays rest then starts vs shu and leeds then a week rest

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    29 wuth hust Son Salah(c) and justin left

    End this gw already. Disaster

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah it’s a low scoring week and you’ve got salad so it’s fine

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Same except I've got Gabriel also.

      Salah could change things significantly.

    3. Gross Blank Point
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've got a green arrow so far on 28, don't worry.

    4. Bielsa Murderball
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I have got 32 from 10 with salah c left to make you feel better 🙂

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      26 with the same three, FML

  14. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain starts today?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Unlikely to start. Could be on as a sub.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I am just trying to freak out Salah owners here Dreams. 😉

        1. Dreams
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I am also a Salah owner. Your trick worked. 😆

  15. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Tot vs Palace at selhurst park always reminds me of Soldado 9 points on his debut

    The only time he delivered in fpl

  16. Saka_me_sideways
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Assuming my position behind the sofa for this game...

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

      At least I have Son. But the Kane hat-trick is coming. And I pray it isn't until GW16 when I plan to get him back.

      1. Saka_me_sideways
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It’s already looking ominous lol

  17. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mahrez or Bruno captain?

  18. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    lol son

  19. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Guaita masterclass incoming...

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He your cappo Chuckles?

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        😛 need him to stop casuals with kane and son from getting lucky again..

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, jammy double uppers.....

    2. Kannbury
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Great save there from him!

  20. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Chanced Bruno gets rested for the SHU game?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Low as they need to win which they can’t without him

  21. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Seems incredible there was ever a time when Brewster seemed like a useful bench option (not to mention Kilman)

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Out for Welbeck

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Had him for many weeks but I never start him

      useful as an enabler

      my front 7 is

      KSB Son Salah Bruno Soucek
      Adams DCL

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don't understand why Wilder is not playing him. Club record signing up-and-comer with a decent goal scoring record can't get into a team who desperately need goals ahead of the likes of Burke, Sharp, McBurnie and McGoldrick.

  22. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Do us a favour. Wilfried, Christian and Roy, please.

  23. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    this could get ugly

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bloodbath incoming?

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I fear the worst yeah

  24. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Owning Guaita makes me feel like I'm fielding 10 players every GW.

  25. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Nobody in this game so can't find a big enough sofa to hide behind.

    Last week Son and Kane were a large part of why I dropped over 1mil in OR in one day. Can't have a repeat of that so if ever I needed and unlikely 0-0 Woy masterclass, now is the time please!

    1. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Haha same, worst feeling in fantasy when you have to hope highly owned players don't score.

    2. Harn1
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No Kane or Son here so I've put a few (responsibly sized) bets on them both to score anytime, 2+ and hattrick. Makes it feel slightly better (until Spurs win 4-0 and they've both assisted all the goals but not scored).

  26. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    This will end 0-0. Well done sellers.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, Zaha will punish me for selling

  27. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    0-0 written all over this

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      So easy to read a whole match after 5 minutes.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Well that one went well.

  28. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Never felt more comfortable selling a fit highly owned big hitter than Kane today.

    Hopefully palace make no fouls in the box

  29. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Do not fear people, I sold Kane so expect a mega haul!

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Youve made the right call
