FPL’s most-owned player in action as leaders Spurs take on unchanged Palace

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.

      OGS' plan for Sheff Utd will be to start Bruno, get two or three goal lead before 60 mins, then take him off. Probably along with Rashford and one of the full-backs.

      If you get the "Super Six" of Salah, Bruno, KDB, Son, Grealish, Kane but would also have to play Brewster every week, would you?

      Defence would be McCarthy, James, Targett, Lewis and the rest would be fodder.

        No. Because you could probably sacrifice Kane and Brewster for say, Robbo and DCL and that would be better in the long run.

        I am almost there (KDB, Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Vardy, Brewster on the bench) and I think it's too much. I will probably downgrade Vardy soon. Thing is, they need to haul every week, or you're just falling behind with other getting regular 6-8+ points from Chelsea, Liverpool, City and Spurs defenders. This week in particular, one City def scored as much or outscored Bruno and KDB combined.

        I have a similar setup but I downgraded Grealish to afford Soucek and Adams and have the rest and Brewster. Defense is similar too with McCarthy and Targett. Have Cress and Balbuena right now but Cress will go for someone soon.
