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.

  3. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ok time to hide. Non Salah owner 🙁

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

    Ok all comes down to Salah
    No returns = big red
    7-10 points = average score
    11+ = green arrow

    Let’s go!!!

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

      Opposite for me 😉

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

    SALAH TIME (C)

  6. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best Keeper and Defender combo up to 10.5?

    Rest of defence is James Ayling Lamptey

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

      Martinez and a Soton defender

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

    Need a Salah special to get to 30 points!!!!

  8. aborg
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Lol that Crystal palace goal already saved me 50k places with no Son bps and no cs. Need Kane to lose a bps too now

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

      He wasn't getting any BPs anyway

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

      Son was never in bps, and it's just -1 point for him, is the spurs defenders that hurt

  9. Underdogs11
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hate Mourinho's tactics. Will probably transfer out Son or Kane now.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      do it, I dare ya 😛

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Makes sense..

      1. Underdogs11
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        The problem is I need money to get Kdb or Salah in.

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

    53 with Lamptey and Salah. Took a -4 to cover salah.

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

      Good lord, I’m on 36 -4 with no salah, complete disaster of a week

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

      Wow great score! I'm on 30 points with only Justin Salah left

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      34 (-4) with SalahC & Lamptey.

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      51 with Salah captain to go

  11. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Help me Mo.

  12. Amey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Brace yourselves for a Salah masterclass 😎

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah - he'll only get about 18 points 🙁

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

      Hopefully mate 🙂

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      please don't jinx

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Fine

  13. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Southamton are 3rd though. Hassenhuttl a genius.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Southampton*

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

      Would be top if we hadn't thrown away 3 points against United, that Cavani masterclass was completely out of the blue

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That was a good day for me 😛

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

        I think more we tend to fade as games go on and united the opposite. Dissapointing to lose v united but I wasn’t surprised

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

      Cautiously optimistic we’ll avoid relegation battle

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He's done an incredible job there

  14. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Salah I need you to get manual here

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mental

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No manual is much better.

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          But automatics are so easy

  15. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Jota definitely needs replacing then!

    Zaha or Grealish?

  18. deshawn7
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best 7.0m mid replacement for Jota?

    A) Ward-Prowse
    B) Soucek
    C) Bowen

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen

    2. WVA

  20. djman102
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    And breathe...

    Need Salah to outscore Kane/Son combined. Brace and make 60 with a clean sheet minimum, please!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He'll blank

  21. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Woeful GW. Not a single goal scored by any player. Only Salah(c) left.

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

      Same here, I'm on 30 points with this midfield Salah KDB Bruno Son Grealish

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

    C Palace (1.97) 1-1 (1.44) Tottenham

    😆

  23. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    keep Spurs assets on a wildcard? tempting to get rid.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Keep

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Worth keeping for LEI, FUL, LEE

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Jota >> Bowen the obvious move?

    McCarthy
    James, Chilwell, Cresswell
    KDB, Bruno, Salah(C), Jota*, Grealish
    Bamford, DCL
    (4.0, Justin, Mitchell, Davis)

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yep can’t see much wrong with getting Bowen

  25. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    60 with Justin to play... not quite the heady heights I had envisioned after Friday's win, but a green arrow nonetheless.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Over double my score

    2. JohnnyCroat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Oh, and Lamptey off the bench... 0-0 plz

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

      That is massively heady heights the average is around 40

    4. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      salah will punish you.

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Aye, there is always that risk for sure.

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

      Great score mate well done, Salah will blank too as I captained him

  26. Captain Haddock
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    My only Liverpool player is Robertson. Not sure if I want to watch the game..

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Same here. I need imodium.

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

    Really need salah blank and vardy haul

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

      I need both to haul. And Lamptey.

  28. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What are wildcard holders doing??

    1. Plagued by indecision
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think I'm going to wildcard this week.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They are dead. Surely everybody alive have played it allready in this nightmare of a season?

    3. Steve Chance
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Gonna watch the footy.

  29. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Southampton and Kane/Son made me drop from 500k to 900k. Now Salah(C) and Robertson to take me back to 500k, please.

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

    6 points dropped from Spurs for not believing in their attacking prowess:

    West Ham
    Newcastle
    Palace

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

      Lampard the only manager of the bigger clubs who has shown any tactical nous vs Spurs. Played cagey football and asked Spurs to break Chelsea down. Spurs couldn't do it.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Lol. Lampard's done sh*te

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          ?

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

          How? They are in the Top 4 and still in the title race.

          Man City losing to Spurs was a very poor result, IMO.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thats on Mourinho

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Everton too

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

        Couldn’t even attack that game

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Tbf, they should thank Soton for turning their season around by playing a high line and Mou realizing Son is better playing as a second striker and Kane a playmaker.

    4. Underdogs11
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ridiculous. Maybe top 4 though.
