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

    Were Trossard and Russell Howard separated at birth?

  2. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Alzata brought on to do a job on Gallagher?

  3. Revival

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Burn owners just got.... ahem....burned!

  4. soup natsi
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Azpilicueta is a better FPL option than Rudiger, especially short term.

    Change my mind.

    1. Andy_Social
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no

      1. soup natsi
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yes

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      also more expensive

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If your thinking just cause James is injured there won't be rotation in the Chelsea defence I would disagree with that

      1. soup natsi
        5 years, 1 month ago

        without James he'll surely get more game time then he would otherwise. I agree there will be rotation but not sure if Rudiger is more nailed on than Azpilicueta.

    4. TheBiffas
      5 years, 1 month ago

      6 mil for the same job

      1. soup natsi
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Do you see the same attacking return potential? I think Azpi is clear.

    5. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If it was 2015 sure maybe.

      1. soup natsi
        5 years, 1 month ago

        averaging 5 assists and 1.5 goals a season since.

    6. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Points per start this season

      Azpi - 4.4
      Rudi - 5.67

      Shots this season

      Azpi - 1
      Rudi - 4

      Price

      Azpi - 6
      Rudi - 5.6

      Looks a no brainer tbh

      1. soup natsi
        5 years, 1 month ago

        xA paints a different picture. Also Rudiger's career average is 2 goals and assist as season, Azpi has way higher ceiling.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That’s fair, you seem convinced on paying the extra so go ahead

          1. soup natsi
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I'm genuinely looking for a reason to not pay the extra, take the safe route, and get the price rise tonight.

  5. Kodap
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed:

    I’ve already done Torres > ESR, someone talk me out of taking a -8 and doing Jota & Bamford > Gallagher/Sarr and Lukaku…

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Marcal
    Salah - Jota - ESR - Gray
    Antonio - Bamford - Cr7

    Bench: Steele - Livra - Sissoko - Williams

    1. OverTinker
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why not just captain Ronaldo?

      1. Kodap
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well I am going to, what if Bamford can’t play?

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Trossard been up too late playing FIFA with Tsimikas.

  7. OPTA FPL
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gervinho forehead give up this game?

  8. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What's the situation with the South Americans for the upcoming international break? Are they allowed to play?

    1. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They're just gonna settle it with FIFA Pro Teams.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt PL would allow any Brazilians to leave after the fiasco

  9. pundit of punts
    5 years, 1 month ago

    GW 8 WCers, what’s the plan with Raphinha if he goes away with Brazil? He will miss GW 8 then.

    Keep on WC and bench or get rid?

    1. Rainer
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Livramento vs a Raph-less Leeds at home covers well.

      1. pundit of punts
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Leeds have enough firepower without Raph to put a few past Southampton though

        1. Rainer
          5 years, 1 month ago

          A worthy comprise for one week to save a transfer?

          Livramento fairly handy attacking wise and Leeds awful defensively.

    2. Ze_Austin
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's one game in a run of 9. Just like Antonio last week: bench him

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anything else happening. Waiting for my Gallagher goal.

  11. OPTA FPL
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Milivojevic terrible form

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is he eating his soup with a dessert spoon?

  12. Ze_Austin
    5 years, 1 month ago

    There's something a bit surprising about the returns of Foden and KDB

    They haven't threatened Grealish. At all

    Foden's been a direct threat to Torres at false 9, and KDB threatens that Bilva/Gündo AM axis

    Seems it's Grealish + Jesus nailed with Sterling + Mahrez as second tier

    Which is rather weird, because Sterling and Mahrez were first choice for so long

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mental that Mahrez hasn't started any of the 6 Prem games. Superb player!!!

      1. Ze_Austin
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He started the first, and probably benched himself (in Pep's eyes) with his performance in that loss

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          One thing: Jesus. He's been so good as a right winger and now scored such an important goal. It will be very hard for Mahrez to dislodge him.

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      4-4-2 that City employed to press Chelsea could be just one off. Nothing certain there yet, though I agree that Mahrez and Sterling are second string now. Surprising for Mahrez, but Jesus put up some good performances. Sterling is not part of the best City 11 since the spring, imo.

      1. Ze_Austin
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, 4-4-2? It's posted as the usual 4-3-3 in most places:

        Ederson
        Usual back 4
        B. Silva Rodri KDB
        Jesus Foden Jack

          1. Ze_Austin
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Oh. It's been a fluid front 5 from Pep since early last season. Bilva or Gündo recycling (or arriving late), four other attackers all flowing in the box

  13. TheBiffas
    5 years, 1 month ago

    zaha punt finally something good this gameweek, but how's gallagher looking?

  14. Pep Roulette
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez wanting the save poio

    1. Pep Roulette
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Points*"

  15. Big_Andy_GAWA
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Does that count as a save if the flag goes up?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If he gives the free kick then no

    2. Rainer
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      nope

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Does count as him giving the ball away though

  16. Duke Silver ☑
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ah just give him the save

  17. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    WC feast:

    1. Walker/4.5 mid
    2. Livramento/Gray
    3. Livra/Gallagher

    TY!!

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      5 years, 1 month ago

      3

    2. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      i went 3 on WC a few weeks ago and pretty happy, neither need to start so have good rotation options

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks more like a famine

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Actually needed to Google that word 🙁

        Sanchez (Foster)
        Rudiger Alonso TAA (Livra Duffy)
        Salah Ben Raph ESR (Gray)
        Lukaku Antonio Jesus

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          As in opposite of feast

          1. MIGHTY JOE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yes yes, I know. Google told me.
            Would have made me chuckle normally!

  18. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez, Foster
    Trent, Digne, Shaw, Livra, Manquillo
    Benrahma, Salah, Greenwood, Raphinha, Bissouma
    Ronaldo, Toney, Antonio

    Dumping Digne (finally), but who else? 2FTs, 1.0itb
    1) Shaw
    2) Bissouma
    3) Greenwood

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw & double Chelsea

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That what I was thinking, in fact. Thank you.

  19. Duke Silver ☑
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Agent Andre Marriner definitely doesn't have Sanchez in his team.

  20. Stranger Mings
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Walker best Man City defender for 5.5?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks I am thinking getting GW8

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's still Cancelo for attacking threat but I like Walker quite a lot with Cancelo double. Means at least one will play surely.

      1. Stranger Mings
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Prefer cancelo but can’t afford if go for Christensen this week

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        5.5, Camzy

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I know he's 5.5m. But he plays almost RCB for City. He feels like the 'Christensen' option for City.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            5 years, 1 month ago

            He’s an absolute BAP monster

      3. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cancelo is too expensive, I'm guessing. They asked about 5.5

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not much of a question is it if it's limited to 5.5m.

          That's like asking what City striker to buy? Jesus at 8.6m?

          1. JariL
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Laporte an option too surely?

            1. Ze_Austin
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Walker is safer

          2. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Laporte and Stones are the same price range so there are a couple of options, but you're not wrong. Its an easy question

          3. Flair
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Question should be Laporte vs Walker.

            1. Stranger Mings
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Sorry guys for confusion and thanks for all replies but my budget would be £5.5 but agree cancello more attacking

  21. BeWater
    5 years, 1 month ago

    TAA hasn't travelled to Porto. Livramento I might need another miracle clean sheet this weekend.

    1. Ze_Austin
      5 years, 1 month ago

      There'll be two press conferences before that game

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Oh ffs, I need another wildcard

  22. FCSB
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you start out of:

    1. Ayling [if fit] (WAT)
    2. Veltman (ARS)

    Thanks

  23. Flair
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hold the CS Guaita!

  24. Esalman
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Saw on the news that non-league football matches are being postponed due to fuel crisis. What are the chances it will affect PL too?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Almost zero I recon, Jimmy and Bob driving up to the duke of York away on a Sunday is a bit different to a PL game

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs vs Chelsea was the net Zero game.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I hope the Spurs owner slept well that night in his super yacht knowing that the plebs were drinking out of paper straws from reusable cups.

      First covid and now this. 😕

      1. Esalman
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well it is a byproduct of covid, at least indirectly.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Covid is a factor for sure but also cuts in oil production by western country's to satisfy carbon emissions standards along with over regulation and underpay in the haulage sector are playing into shortages also.

          1. Esalman
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Ah carbon emissions. Can't live with it, can't live without it.

  25. Steve The Spud

    My arrow will turn red on 60 mins

    It’s been nice knowing you fellas

    1. Esalman
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have 11 points coming off the bench.. it'll be pretty lame to still get a red arrow.

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am right at the safety at the moment.

    3. Steinburg FC
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Come on Gallagher! one more return and it might be just a small red arrow!

      1. grumpyman
        5 years, 1 month ago

        LOL I’m in the same boat. A brace might just about give me a green 🙂

  26. JariL
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Could I keep Greenwood or Jota up until GW10? I won't have enough FTs to ship both. Otherwise I could consider Jota to Raphinha (if fit) for -4 this week.

    1. gart888
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What's the rush to get rid of Jota? He's been good.

      1. JariL
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Mixed fixtures and Firmino's return makes me feel like it could be time to ship. But maybe I could hold on and possibly sell Greenwood for GW8.

    2. Flair
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'd rather have Raphinha despite the -4. Raph could make that up this week.

      1. JariL
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. I'm tempted by sure. It would be my first hit of the season!

    3. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ship Greenwood. Fixtures take a huge dip after GW 8, plus he isn't the same after Ronnie arrived.

  27. Gunneryank
    5 years, 1 month ago

    That's not David Luiz on the left of Brighton's midfield is it?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's David Luiz's and Benoit Assou-Ekotto's love child.

    2. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No, it's Sideshow Bob.

  28. Twisted Saltergater

    5 years, 1 month ago

    What minute will Lallana go off injured?

    a) 68
    b) 71
    c) 76
    d) he’s been taking horse placenta supplements, he could do extra time

  29. gart888
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Bamford or Reece James?

  30. TomSaints
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I’m wildcarding next week.

    With that in mind, thoughts on a Salah and Shaw to Rudiger for -4?

    Everton have been a bit rubbish and can see a big united response

    1. TomSaints
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rudiger and Fernandes even!

    2. Dannyb
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Seems a bad swap....

    3. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno is balls...only returned in 2 games so far.

    4. grumpyman
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t take a hit the week before you wildcard, it doesn’t have enough time to pay back.
