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.

    Yeez, Spurs are so boring though!

  5. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This Spurs defensive stability has convinced Jose that he can now park at 1-0 instead of 2-0 or 3-0.

  6. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Jota not even on bench means he is really put for two months?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes 6-8 weeks no surgery

  7. deshawn7
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Best 7.0m as Jota replacement? Already have Grealish and Zaha

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      "Downgrade" to Soucek and spend elsewhere

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’m doing this

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane scores one, Salah takes one pen ... if some bonuses go to Kane then it could be easily stalemate

    5. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      0-0 written all over that game

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Any midfielder you want, its your team.

  10. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Why have I brought in Mane over Salah. Scary times

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You'll be fine

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have Salah, but I think Mane will outscore him today

  11. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How does Lloris always end up in bonus? Does he always complete 30+ passes every game?

  12. toerag
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah OG please 😆

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Missed penalty more likely

  13. Party time
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What has happened to football for ffs. Spurs last goal against was in gw 7

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Bunch of bus parkers

      2. Gobigorgohome
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        and I think it was a pen

    • JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dropped from 140 to 230k after this game and I still own Son. Unbelievable

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

        Makes ya think what’s even the point

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Dropped 500K from not owning SOU def nor Kane/Son

        1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I've dropped 200k with no saints or kane. Just son, need haul from Salah (c) to avoid red arrow.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Think that the consecutive games instead of parallel makes it so dramatic ... normally if games run in parallel those with Salah, Vardy etc. will get points at the same time

      3. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I have both Son & Kane...FFF showing a increase in rank of 316,000....albeit to 1,298,000.

        Come on boys, need another 1 or 2 goals/assists

      4. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I don’t want to look...

        No Spurs, no Sou...

    • Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Think it was Pat Bonner on here who said before that this is why other assets are slightly more worth it over Spurs assets like Salah and KDB/Bruno, Spurs just sit back after going a goal up instead of going for more. I agree.

    • MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dier misses Regullion assist from Free kick

    • Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wow that could be an easy through ball to Son there from that free kick!

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Completely unmarked on the edge of the box

    • Azzastaan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jota out for who next week?

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

        Should be

    • Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Glad I bit the bullet and took a hit to get rid of Jota now, I was planning on doing it eventually so at least I have it done with now and can hope for a lot of goals between Brighton and Leicester

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I took a hit and got rid, my rivals all kept and started him and they have been rewarded by getting Soucek from the bench

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          That's rough I was convinced I put Dias in for Justin but I must have never confirmed it so I missed out on that, hopefully your replacement does something!

    • Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mendy
      Chilwell-Lamptey-Konsa
      Son-KDB-Salah-Grealish
      Werner-Bam-Wilson

      1FT 0.8 ITB

      Which moves please

      A) Son +‘ Werner > Bruno (c) + Ings(-4)
      B) Grealish + Werner > Bruno + watkins/Welbz
      C) any other ideas?

      1. Azzastaan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        A

    • Cruyff Turn
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Never understood the "jammy" bench points arguments... in a game dominated by randomness, having a reliable bench is good insurance. Your playing 11 points are as "jammy" as your sub's points.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        think it’s just a joke but there is argument that getting a dodgy goal from defender that you never start for a late injury to a decent player is a bit fortunate

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          This, you have to be very lucky for one of your players not to feature at all and then for your bench player to return that week the odds are low

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Its more jammy as the chances of getting a player off the bench the one week they score is very low

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

        A lot of good players have weak benches for the most part because money maximised in first 11 is usually better. Having a playing sub is often all you need... i'm content with 2 points from my bench. If they score more it's jammy when that's the one game you need for them to come of the bench to get the points

    • thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This is the problem with Spurs & their assets. Maureen is just this kind of manager.

      If Klopp or Pep’s team were playing this game, they would be going all out for a second, then a third and so on.

      Maureen’s sole focus is on keeping that 1-0 now. And unless Son bursts with the ball from his own half or Kane picks him out with a beautiful ball, they probably won’t score again this game.

      It’s frustrating as F$&& in FPL

      1. Cruyff Turn
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Solution: Get a Spurs defender.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        own a defender too then ?

      3. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You know it going to happen. Embrace it.

      4. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Still hurts even at 9 and 6 points respectively. Even I knew they won't blank, it still hurts.

      5. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        This is why you pick 1 as a set and forget and don’t captain.

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Still not worth having even one

      6. Isco Disco
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well this is the exact reason why you should always own 1 defender at least from a Mourinho side challenging for title. CS points almost guaranteed in every game

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, I’ll probably get Reguilon in for Cancelo

    • Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs are so lucky ffs

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        This

    • Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years

      Tottenham, a prime Burnley with son and kane

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. And bloody good at it.

    • Tango74
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      As we thought

      BREAKING: Diogo Jota is out for six to eight weeks, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed—he has already scored nine goals for Liverpool since his summer move.

    • 1984 TC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If London teams play each other, can fans of the visiting team attend the game?

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nope.

          Cheers!

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He turned into the best player in the world v my goalie last week, bit like Cavani when he came on against us, so annoying!

    • NABIL - FPL otai

      Fellow Kane owners, we don't have to be so greedy. Points will come, though 🙂

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’m patiently waiting for his Christmas presents to me. I feel he will be extra generous this year.

    • Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      One more Kane and Son combo please!

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Kane peno would be lovely but and hand ball causing it.
