Bissouma absent as Edouard makes first start for Palace

In the final match of Gameweek 6, Crystal Palace host Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park in the M23 derby.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) makes his first start for Palace, having scored twice as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 4.

Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m) also features in the starting XI, with Cheikhou Kouyate (£4.5m) and Christian Benteke (£6.3m) dropping to the bench alongside Jeremy Schlupp (£5.4m), who has recovered from a thigh problem.

Eberechi Eze (£5.9m) and Nathan Ferguson (£4.5m) remain sidelined.

As for Brighton, a win at Selhurst Park tonight would see them go top of the Premier League.

Robert Sanchez (£4.6m) and Shane Duffy (£4.3m) – who are currently owned by 25.4% and 22.5% of FPL managers respectively – both start, but Yves Bissouma (£4.6m) misses out with a knee injury and is replaced by Pascal Gross (£6.0m).

Dan Burn (£4.4m) is also in for Solly March (£5.4m).

Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m) again makes the bench, with Graham Potter stating last week that they will carefully manage his return to fitness.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Milivojevic, McArthur, Gallagher, Ayew, Zaha, Edouard

Subs: Butland, Kouyate, Kelly, Clyne, Schlupp, Hughes, Olise, Mateta, Benteke

Brighton XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Duffy, Burn, Cucurella, Gross, Lallana, Trossard, Maupay, Welbeck

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Connolly, MacAllister, Moder, Alzate, March, Roberts, Richards

    Hi all,

    Would you take Jota or Greenwood out? (Got Bruno & Salah)

    A:Looking at Jota/Greenwood & Jiminez ---> DLuis & Lukaku

    B: That or I take Bruno & Obefemi out and Put Lukaku & Smith Rowe?

    Thank you

      I'd take Bruno out , he's been rubbish after the opening week

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Lies.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Blanked 4 out of 6 mate.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Looking past the points he’s been great. Awfully unfortunate at the weekend

            1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Kane on the other hand has been admittedly s***e

            2. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              In FPL terms he has been turd.

              1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Often translates into points soon enough.

                E.g like how Grealish is being looked at by many

      2. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure about rubbish.

        Feels weird having niemther Bruno and Lukaku haha

    2. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Personally I think Bruno is 4th on the list of premiums behind CR7, Kaku and Mo. So I'd look to shift him.

    3. Cruicky
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B. Sort out the actual issues first.

      Selling Jimenez who just scored and plays a Newcastle team who are 19th for goals conceded, total shots conceded, shots on target conceded and xG-against, and have conceded the most pens in the league is just negligent.

      Getting rid of an underperforming premium and a player currently playing in the Championship for two players with good fixtures is good business.

      1. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That's a pretty impressive reply. Probably the best I've had on here.

        Appreciate you taking the time.

        I do like a gamble, if you want to call it that. Greenwood seems to be getting very unlucky at the moment considering his involvement.

  2. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Can someone post a WC team with Sanchez in it!

  3. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Funny old game.

    Dropped from 80k to 400k last week then back to 150k this.

    Can’t quite remember a season with such polarising scores week to week.

  4. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which one?

    A) Vardy, Lukaku, Cancelo
    B) Lukaku, Ronaldo, Manquillo

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The Lukaku one looks better.

    3. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  5. TorresMagic™

    Last Man Standing GW6 (2538 teams)

    Safety score = 37
    Top score = Tom Pitcher with 87
    LMS average = 49.32 (-0.76) = 48.56

    153 teams to be removed, 2385 through to GW7
    Congrats to all the survivors

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks!

      In an extremely poor gameweek, this comp was the only thing keeping my interest. Squeaked above the line thanks to the Gallagher assist.

  6. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I got a green arrow purely on my own decisions this week. Feels really good.

    Picked Foster over Sanchez and capped Antonio over Ronaldo.
    Got 51 and safety score was 50.

    I got lucky though to be honest. Bring on next week!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Picking Coady over Veltman got me a red.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think Ronaldo was the bigger decision. But hey, you win some, you lose some.

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very well done.
      Great on that Antonio decision! Capped Antonio was well and that 6 point although not huge was pretty nice to have.
      Antonio once again had the highest XGI and could’ve easily hauled on any other day.

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Do you not normally make your own decisions?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        *Team selection decisions rather than transfers. You know what I mean.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Well done on getting those calls right. Fine lines in this game but getting those 50/50 calls right are main difference I think in having a good season

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hhhmmm...

    4. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5. Steve The Spud

  7. winchester
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years

      2

      1. winchester

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2. Alonso had price rise last night so you can wait until after CL game as probably won’t rise again before then

      1. winchester
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, sounds legit

  8. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years

    Shaw to Rudiger for free ?

    Yay or nay?

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Y

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes 100%

    3. winchester
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw might play?

  9. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start Gray vs United or Sissoko vs Leeds?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gray, going to run United ragged

  10. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    Team for this week, GTG?

    Worth a 4.9 to Rudiger -4 or stick?

    Cheeky Alonso C?

    Sa
    Trent, Alonso, Tierney, Semedo
    Salah, Greenwood, Saka, Gray
    Lukaku, Antonio

    4.0, Siss

  11. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    2 FT but team is a mess with Shaw, Jota, Greenwood and no Chelsea. Any ideas?

    Pickford

    TAA Marcal White

    Salah Jota Greenwood Raphinha

    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    Subs: Begovic, Livra Gilmour Shaw

    1. Bobby Digital

      Wait until Friday, will be much wiser then.

    https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alexander-arnold-liverpool-news-breaking-21693434.amp?__twitter_impression=true

    The fact that Liverpool aren't being forthcoming with info on this worries me. =o/

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Blimey, this could force me for a WC ... only defender is Digne 🙁

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There's nothing to be forthcoming about this night after he trained earlier today. Clubs don't send out announcements the day things happen

      There'll be two Klopp press conferences before GW7. All we know is that Trent isn't at the hotel tonight. Everything else is a guess

      It could just as easily be a family emergency or bout of food poisoning that kept him at home after training

      We'll know from one of Klopp's pressers before the deadline

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trent was in training. Klopp will clear things up in his UCL presser.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The quotes on Fan Forum say he was deemed not fit to fly so possibly related back to his illness rather than injury

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Repost

    Who's the most likely to miss out (selling for Rudiger & will WC GW8):
    A. Shaw
    B. Ayling

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for Ole UCL presser

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else holding show? Looks like he might drop but I think it’s worth the risk on the chance we find out tomorrow he’ll be ok for weekend, Everton at home is a great fixture

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very itchy to get rid of

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Transfer on fridays after all midweek games. Yes will cost more

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Fully expecting a CS, 2x assists for Ronaldo and 3bps this weekend (+ Alonso benched)

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Banish him.

    5. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leaning that way

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captaincy has been wide open a few times already this season, and GW7 could be yet another tight race

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo vs lukaku for me

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I am ggoing Ronnie

    3. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cristiano.. because after this gw he will be put on my WC8

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If I bring him in this week which is like 75% chance, I will cap Lukaku.

  16. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Did Snachez sneak in a bonus point?

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez might have

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

    3. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, he Snached one Bap

  17. Ruffio
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best site for price change prediction? Looking to wildcard and thinking only Rudiger goin up tonight?

    1. Gunneryank

      I use 2. Fantasy football fix, and fplstatistics.co.uk.

    I’d appreciate any thoughts on my wc

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Cancello TAA Azpi Veltman Liv
    Salah Raph Townsend Benrahma Brownhill
    Jesus Antonio Lukaku
    .3 itb

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd add some Wolves

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Who Semedo?

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. I’d personally get grealish over Jesus and smith Rowe over Townsend

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jiménez over Jesus and spend more in midfield or another premium defender- Rudiger over Veltman- also would consider Saka and Gallagher over Benrahma and Townsend

  19. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    As a pleb near 800k, i am celebrating the last 2 dumpster fire GWs that have somehow kept me in the top 1m.

    TFW your score and the safety score are the SAME number.

    Get in!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Still a long way to go. Not that bad a rank for this stage of the season

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years

        Cheers. Thanks for the encouragement.

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      I am not to far behind you at 959k.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. I honestly thought you were further up. I follow your insight and transfer moves as you seem to have a good grip on what's happening.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's higher than I was at this point last year.

      I didn't exactly recover either but still early days.

    4. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have heard the idea put out there that the game gets harder and harder as the collection of info gets disseminated into a larger player pool. The actual talent rises to the top.

  20. West Hammered
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On wildcard last two spaces pick one from each

    1) Benrahma, Toney or Saka
    2) Gallagher, Doucoure/Townsend, Mbuemo

    (If I keep Benrahma I can’t afford Gallagher by 0.1)

  21. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How? Currently have Semedo

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Was this a fail?

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It was lol

  22. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Small red, 100 or so places, but I am livid beacause I lost small green AFTER the game ended. Not to mention Veltman 7 pointer on the bench.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Let me guess, Sanchez?

      Ha ha

    ederson or mendy ? thanks

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ederson.

      I have Mendy but looks like Tuchel will play roulette with Kepa every now and then.

      I am switching to either Ederson or Alisson.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        may as well keep sanchez one more week then as have jota and salah so will be hoping for plenty pool goals.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Salah can score vs anyone 🙂

    Season falling apart and yet again like every season it seems, I'm playing catch up. Absolute turd. Anything FPL related has had the light switched off until next Saturday. Just can't be bothered.

      Keep the faith mate. Last season i made a terrible start. I was 3.5m OR by gw 8 . Played my wc in gw9 and steadily climbed the rankings. Finished 300k which was a poor season for me but still respectable giving my start.

        oh yeah for sure, there is certainly no giving up. I just find that I have no interest in looking at anything to do with FPL when I'm having a bad time until the next gameweek starts. Normally when things are going ok for the standards I set, I enjoy spending time in between gameweeks talking FPL with others, plotting future potential transfer strategies and listening to FPL content etc but at the moment I have no enthusiasm or interest in it.

        I have a youtube channel and the most challenging things I'm finding as a content creator is having the motivation to keep producing content when I'm having a bad time with my own team.

          I think you just have to take the bad weeks on the chin. The bad weeks certainly make all of the good weeks you experience all the more worth it. Also a couple of bad weeks doesn't define your season. Its a marathon not a sprint.

    After my first real disappointing gw what would you say is the priority here?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Semedo, Shaw
    Salah, Benrahma, Barnes, Greenwood
    Toney, CR7, Antonio

    Steele, Tsimikas, Amartey, Glimour

    2FT 1.1m ITB

    Any suggestions?

    1. FOO FIGHTER

      Shaw to CHE defender.

    2. West Hammered
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Surely Barnes must go? Maybe Shaw to Chelsea def also

        2 years, 6 months ago

        Would you do Barnes out tonight to avoid another price drop?

        1. West Hammered
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah go for it!

    3. FPLMACKEM

      Cheers, Shaw and Barnes are currently the ones in my thoughts. Raphina and a chelsea defender are the ones i was thinking. Lukaku might have to wait one more week.

      1. West Hammered
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds like a good plan

    Do people actually think Ronaldo is a better captain than Lukaku this week or just trying to rationalise not making that transfer?

    1. Goooo Rickie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Flip a coin.

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd argue either way

      Both gonna smash it

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have both, but I'm slightly more confident in capping someone facing Everton's occasional clownish defence than current S'oton

      Then there's the fact that Man U is a kamikaze attack team, caring more about glory and goals than, ya know, defending as a team

      Still, Lukaku should get at least two big chances by bullying those centre backs. I think both will score. It's a question of who'll score more

      Might come down to a coin toss

      I’m slightly Rose tinted but saints have been solid defensively.

      Kept united and city largely out and wolves offered nothing bar a good Jiminez solo after Bednerek messed up a simple long ball.

      I don’t expect to get anything from Chelsea but feels like a 1-0 or 2-0 win

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Where as I can see a big united reaction and 4-1 win.

        So thinking 12-13 points for Ronaldo and 8-9 for Lukaku.

  28. Stupendous

    All set? 0ft .1itb

    Sanchez
    Rudiger Taa Cancelo
    Salah Sarr ESR Raph Gray
    Lukaku(c) Ronaldo

    Steer Livramento Manquillo Scarlett

  29. Goooo Rickie

    Azpi worth the extra .4 over Rudiger?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rudiger should be .4m more than Azpi

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Considering this.
      More reliable over the season and usually offers more attack

  30. thirddimension

    Is Ramsdale first choice now? Worth switching from Sanchez on a wildcard?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I might use a free to do that switch
