Crystal Palace take on Everton in the final Premier League match of Gameweek 16, with kick-off at Selhurst Park at 16:30 GMT.

Patrick Vieira makes three changes from the Gameweek 15 defeat at Manchester United, with Joel Ward, Will Hughes and Odsonne Edouard coming in for Nathaniel Clyne, Jeffrey Schlupp and Christian Benteke, all of whom drop to the bench.

That means influential defender Joachim Andersen remains out, despite returning to training last week.

As for Everton, Rafa Benitez also shuffles his pack. In come Mason Holgate, Fabian Delph and Andre Gomes, with Yerry Mina and Allan missing out completely, while Anthony Gordon is a substitute.

Lucas Digne, meanwhile, is once again absent from the matchday squad.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Tomkins, Guehi, Mitchell, Kouyate, Hughes, Gallagher, Ayew, Zaha, Edouard

Subs: Butland, Olise, Eze, Mateta, Schlupp, Clyne, Benteke, Kelly, Riedewald

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, Doucoure, Delph, Gomes, Townsend, Gray, Richarlison

Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Iwobi, Gordon, Gbamin, Branthwaite, Rondon, Simms, Onyango

        Yes indeed. But what minute for the palace CS wipeout?

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years

          Was that a double-act with that feed line? 😉

        Do you have a crystal ball?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          No, just Guaita in FPL was enough.

  2. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Type of game now Everton could do with Richarlison.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don't know what Benitez I'd thinking taking him out? Maybe already accepted the defeat and giving Richarlison a rest.

    So, when does Guaita lose me this CS? Before or after the 80th?

    1. Kannbury
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Please no!

    2. Sterling Archer

    Antonio to Ronaldo was lined up but looks like I'm waiting to see what happens with the ol' rona

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Antonio is scoring against us in midweek just so you know

  6. Hazz

    EXC: Tottenham returned to training today and Antonio Conte wasted no time - putting his players through a double session. Looking increasingly likely Leicester game should be okay. https://t.co/ZgU58GVZJX

    The United and Villa games are the first two this coming gameweek. That means we OUGHT to have confirmed news before the deadline. Crumb of comfort, there.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same pointage, but less Guaita CS points at least?

  10. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Thank you rondon

  11. Mr. O'Connell

    And it's gone.

    1. Steve The Spud

      Lol

  12. Rainer

    Guaita busted 🙂

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Gahhhhhh nahhhhfeckkkawwwfnoOOooooo

  13. Deulofail

    How long until Ramsdale replaces Pickford as England #1?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don't suspect it'll be before the World Cup. Maybe afterwards.

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

      Hopefully never, don’t like either but don’t think ramsdale is any better

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pickford is trash.
        Ramsdale class (so far this season)

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

          He’s having an ok streak and making some saves, still got howlers in him, they’ll be back

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Dean Henderson is also better.

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Both are equally bad. Best keepers make hard saves look easy, these guys make the easy saves look hard

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        The make the saves anyway, unlike Pickford.

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Agree about Pickford making easy saves look bad, but he has been failing to make easy saves for years now. I don't believe that's true of Ramsdale, even if his style is a little flambouyant. He seems to have the focus and mentality and skill that Pickford doesn't. Lots of great keepers make easy saves look spectacular. I think part of it is trying to dive in a safe way for landing, but not sure.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Look hard*

          Anyway... what Baps Hunter said

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Ramsdale will be found out soon enough. Not sure what it is with English keepers but their mentality is very similar…joe hart shouting and pumped up antics are very similar to how Pickford has behaved in the past and ramsdale is doing now

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Joe Hart, the legendary keeper? Sounds like you just don't like them
            Fair enough, I also don't want Ramsdale to remind me of Pickford, but I don't think that changes his quality. Time will tell, but I think it would be tough for Ramsdale to make as many massive errors as Pickford has over the years. I think it's unbelievable he's still a number 1. Even Kepa is better

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Nothing to do with me disliking them, just don’t particularly rate them as goalkeepers! Also don’t get confused between fpl and real life. Ramsdale is brilliant fpl option.

              Joe hart won 75 caps for England and was very good for a number of seasons. His fall was pretty spectacular and coincided with some strange antics before and during games; antics which Pickford and ramsdale are doing now. It’s doesn’t help them and not what you see the elite keepers do

    Rondon and Rafa haters HUMBLED

  15. OPTA FPL

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gallagher back to 3 bonus but lose cs point

  16. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Guaita to Ramsdale got to be worth at least at a -48 hit

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kind of what I'm thinking at this point.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I am doing it tonight. I have had it.

  17. gart888
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I'd like to go Vardy to Ronaldo on a -4 hit.

    Best way to raise those funds?

    A) Reece James to Dalot (exact money, would have to do it tonight)
    B) Jota to Gallagher
    C) Antonio to someone 6.1 or lower (already have Dennis)
    D) Don't do the move at all.

  18. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    That Guaita buy over Ramsdale has finished me and a lot of others.

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yep...

  19. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    If the spurs game does go ahead,will Son and co be back in contention?

  20. jammie26

    Whats all this about covid outbreak at villa and united?

  21. RogDog_jimmy

    Gallagher backs to 3 baps but loses the CS point - eh.

  22. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gallagher losing points faster than Usain Bolt

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hasn't lost any points. Lost CS point but gained 1 bonus.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        “Hasn’t lost any points”
        “Lost CS point”

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          He was on 10 before the goal.
          He is on 10 after the goal.

          Can you maths?

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            This isnt about maths, its about your abilities to communicate

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 4 months ago

            So by your logic he's also gaining them as fast as Usain bolt?

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Gallagher gains a bap but loses clean sheet !

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        But Guaita loses the clean sheet 😎

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Going Guaita over ramsdale hasn’t worked out too well

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        🙁

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I never seem to get the GK position right!

    5. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ha Rondon finally scores a goal!

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

      Points from goalkeepers that your rival gets seem to be more annoying than other players

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hate it when that happens.
