There’s one more Premier League match to go today: Crystal Palace v Manchester City.

Kick-off at Selhurst Park is at 17:30 GMT.

There are two changes to the City side that beat Newcastle United in Gameweek 26, with Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker dropping to the bench.

John Stones and Bernardo Silva come into the side.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira also makes two changes following the Eagles’ 1-0 loss to Aston Villa last weekend.

Cheick Doucoure is suspended and Eberechi Eze has to make do with a substitute role, with Luka Milivojevic and Jeffrey Schlupp recalled.

City won the reverse fixture 4-2 back in August, with Erling Haaland netting his first of four Premier League hat-tricks so far in 2022/23.

GAMEWEEK 27 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita,Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Sambi Lokonga, Milivojevic, Ayew, Olise, Schlupp, Zaha.

    No Kane. Season over.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Good, see you next season.

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Bye

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Rage quit ?

  2. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Tell me haaland replacement for next two gwks ??

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Bench him and sell someone else

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        lol who? Bad advice. You want triple Brighton and Rashford for 29 (+ beyond)... makes way more sense to sell Haaland who only has a SGW even if he could still do well in that 29 game.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          We have no idea of his team though.

          We don't need triple Brighton at all, and selling Haaland to get him back is just burning transfers.

          I would happily sell a blanking Brighton attacker for some one who plays in 28 ... worst case they both get 2 games.

          Haaland, Rashford & Salah on my bench on 28

          Brighton attackers play Brentford defender in 29 too 😉

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Me, no one +4.

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Watkins, Havertz or just jeep Haaland.

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I’m going Watkins

    5. TanN
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Why take him out? Just field 9 or 10 players.

      Could easily bag a hatty versus the scousers

  3. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Kane the rank killer returns!

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Unless you have him 😉

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        I do, just saying...

  4. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    2ney!

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No pens for him today

  5. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Which is a better way to have eleventh player for GW28?

    A. Haaland => Havertz/Watkins GW28
    JWP => Bruno GW29
    B. Estupinan => Chilwell GW28 (frees Brighton spot)
    JWP => McAllister GW29

  6. BoleynWin
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Harrison own goal & yet still max BPS, highlights everything that’s wrong with the current system.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Ignoring his goal and assist?

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      What's wrong with it? He scored a brilliant goal and played well.

    3. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      That’s from Das Triple Capital. right? If Marx played FPL.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      What total rubbish. He got a goal and an assist. If anything is wrong try Mitoma bap with one assist but that's the FPL BS bap system

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Mitoma did create some big chances and could've had more.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Not sure baps for could have had more is a thing. This sh_itty system is what it is though. Back to man in the stand asap

      2. BoleynWin
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        My point being that an own goal should have a much more drastic effect on your BPS than it does, it appears you lose more for failing to convert a pen than putting one in your own net. That to me is ridiculous.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Disagree. Own goals could just be pure bad luck. A penalty miss is poor play as the player should score

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Dude got a goal and assist too. Calm down.

    6. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Stop embarrassing yourself

      1. BoleynWin
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Pot, kettle, black.

    7. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Log off

    8. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Do good stuff get bps
      Do bad stuff lose bps

      Good - bad = overall bps

  7. I Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Arrizabala
    Trippier, Zinchenko, Schar, Henry
    Saka, Martinelli
    Kane, Toney

    Have 9 for next week. Go with that or Haaland to Havertz/Watkins? Don't want to sell my Brighton assets or Rashford.

    1. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I'm in same situation.
      Selling Haaland to Watkins or Havertz, not sure yet which one.

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah basically it comes down to Haaland in one game vs Liverpool against Havertz/Watkins with 3 fixtures. Surely worth it.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Have you 1 or 2 FTs? If one then maybe leave, especially if doing BB in 29

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        I have 2. Plan for DGW29 is Zinchenko + Martinelli -> Shaw + Fernandes. The Haaland move doesn't affect it.

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I’d do it personally. It’s a risk but I like to attack the blanks and doubles and with 2FTs it gives you the flexibility

  8. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    I captained Salah. How did it go?

    1. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      On 0 points, didn't play apparently, who's your VC?

      1. TanN
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        He did play. He missed a pen

        1. Lucky Z
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Thanks cap

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Don't worry your VC will get double now

      1. Our Tiny Windows
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Vice is Mitoma. Lovely.

      2. TanN
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        No he won't

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Woosh

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 19 days ago

            Lol

    3. TanN
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Pretty bad. He played and missed a pen so ended on 0 points

  9. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Dont you love it when people say a player is dropped or benched, when it could conceivably be they are being rested for the champs league midweek game or could be a tactical adjustment

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Benched is still accurate but yes dropped is often incorrect.

  10. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    If Salah scored that, I would be around 17k.

    Be gentle, Haaland, use protection at least.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Yea that pen miss hurt

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Very much 🙁

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Unlucky mate but sounds like you're having a fine season.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah it's fine, but always losing 5-10 every gw on stupid things...

  11. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    I see Maddison subbed quite late in game- was it an injury or tactical?

    1. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Tactical bec Faes sent off, he brought in Evans to fill the CB gap

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Spend very little time on this frivolity these days with a tad more time spent on Fantasy 5 given you can at least win something.
    Anyways, having had a quick look at the fixtures swapped out Haaland for Kane- made him captain as it is an abso no-brainer.
    Waste ye not your time wrangling with bright/brent agents and follow my lead.

    you're welcome!

    Sums the game up really.Why waste your time fretting.

  13. I Member
    • 10 Years

    Someone just told me Toney pulled up at the end of the game. Any truth to that?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah I saw it... pulled up his phone to check his u1.5 G bet.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Bet on himself not to score

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Source?

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Just a friend in a group chat. I was watching the Brighton game so don't know.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I didn't see it but could have missed it. Apparently Mac Allister was in some pain at the end of the game

  14. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Haaland -> ?

    A) Felix - Eve h, Vil h, Liv h
    B) Watkins - Bou h, Che a, Lei a
    C) Any other with 3 games?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Havertz- on penalties

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        I just sold him on WC last week 🙁 and he scored twice in a row

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Why did Felix go off at half time? Was considering him but now leaning Havertz if I go Chelsea.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        He got a few kicks and knocks in the first half. Probably becuase of that. Although Gallagher came on and did well, if it was tactical.

  15. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Cheers Potter for the 4 minute Badiashile cameo, you AH.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      His initials are GP.

    2. noissimbus
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Fofana knock. Might just leave him in for next GW.

  16. raymonds
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Where is March assist?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Didn't touch it

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      What assist?

  17. TanN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    262 points on my bench this season.

    Anyone else think it would be cool to have all 15 players points count, with BB doubling bench points.

    It would make managers be more strategic e.g. can't afford to have just fodder on the bench.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Nope

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Not quite what you're talking about but this is what made Ultimate Fantasy Premier League the best mode I've ever played on this site.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No. I've also benched a lot of points but how does it make it more strategic? All it does it make it so you absolutely need to have a good bench. Whereas now you can choose whether to have a good bench or not.

    5. TanN
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      All I'm thinking is there's no skill in choosing who to bench, often your hand is forced. There is skill in getting a 15 man squad who play every week, with 100mil

  18. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Darwin out for:

    A) Watkins
    B) Havertz

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Them two will be the question of the week 😀

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Thought I should take the lead.

    2. bialk
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Any one, I may go Havertz

  19. Rainer

    Would love a Haaland hatty!

      but we've all got him

      1. Hairy Potter

        we have all got him?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Not many who got Salah's haul last week will have him!

  20. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Watched the whole Leeds Brighton game and I have to say that:
    - Mitoma when involved he creates something special, he is the best asset for long term
    - Mac Allister gets lots of chances but he isn’t as good finisher as I thought, as long as he plays CAM he can score in every game though
    - March is the only one I don’t own and I think he is the most involved in Brighton’s attacks. He is very improved but the areas he receives the ball don’t help him to score more goals as he mainly has an eye for passing/crossing
    - Estupinan gets forward a lot but the other 3 mids I think will all outscore him now and in 29 also

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Nice summary. Still laughing at being told quite often by many that Mitoma was the 'worst' of the three Brighton midfielders.

      You can always tell when people don't actually watch the matches!

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        I agree. Watching him play is a joy - even if the stats don’t back it up he looks really talented

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yep. Stats merchants. March has been unlucky in terms of his lack of returns but at the end of the day quality matters and Mitoma is quality.

        Mac Allister the pick of the lot for me though. Getting in great positions in that #10 role and on penalties.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          It's not even the fact that they're stat merchants. Stats are good - but some of these 'stats' people interpreting very select things & looking at tiny samples. That's not how it (usually) works... Analytics FPL actually isn't a bad thing when used properly.

        2. Shark Team
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I captained Max but what worries me is that he misses huge chances from itb. He missed those vs Palace away and today vs Leeds another one. It’s good that he is involved though

          1. Shark Team
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 19 days ago

            Mac*

      3. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Exactly, there are lots of -so called- “experts” out there who don’t watch the games (a specific one comes in my mind), so don’t trust any but your own eyes

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      March seems like Josh King of last season 😀
      Good xG stats but blanks while Dennis keeps scoring

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yes, a similar situation, although here both are better players but Mitoma is nearly world class the way he plays

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Any goal threat from Dunk?

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years

        He is the one you expect to get a header from a corner (and Brighton won a lot of them) but in general nothing special. I don’t expect any goals from him tbh

    Sold Pickford for Steele, and put Tarkowski last on the bench

    Who is the best striker who plays in 28 and doubles in 29 to replace Haaland? Watkins? Johnson? Someone else?

      Don't understand the haaland out logic.

      Yes he doesn't play 28, but bench him or play him and accept you'll have 10 players!

      He plays Liverpool in 29 who have just lost 1.0 to Bournemouth. So he could easily outscore Watkins. Johnson etc

        Tann I’m just playing with options. I can only get 9 out next week, 8 if Potter benches Badiashile again which I just don’t understand after they’d kept lean sheets. Haaland 1 game versus 3 for Watkins. Liverpool usually turn up in the big games and do well against City. I was just asking for advice, not to be told I have no logic. Be boring if we all picked the same starting XI every week no?

          I'm saying the EXACT same thing about Badiashile, what is going on behind the scenes. Baffled.

            Especially when he’s not registered for the UCL. Unless Potter is looking for continuity. But I think he’s just a bit special! Deluded

        Haaland vs Liverpool or Havertz/Watkins with 3 fixtures. Yes Haaland could score a hattrick but I'm taking the extra 2 games.

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Exactly mate. That was exactly the logic Tann is questioning

      Watkins best replacement if looking for 3 games next two GWs.

  24. JBG

    Wow.... Haaland return will hurt my rank, even this GW. Wtf is going on??? 1g from him will cost me about 10k rank.

    2. I Member

      Well he is the most owned player in the game isn't he?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Ugh.. thought I could finally enjoy his points as a non C. But nope.

    3. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Someone as prolific and dangerous as him, it makes sense to keep and captain him still

    4. Bluetiger1

      how can you tell the number of places until it is finalised?

    Raya 25 BPS and 5 saves. No bonus. Painful waste of saves and BPS.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Would have been a 9 point goal!

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Close to an iconic FPL moment!

    3. Fred54

      Could have done with 1 more save. Blame Dycheball.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1 save would have been 2 points 🙁

    95th Lokonga screamer please

    England being humbled by France , guess it was'nt about Eddie afterall

    1. Fred54

      3 years, 19 days ago

      I literally can't remember a time before him. Don't get to stay that long in a job these days.

      France top three in the world; England barely clinging on to top 10.

      Hardly surprising.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah but expected a little more resistance from them

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      France & Ireland are on a different level to England right now

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yes

  28. ididnt

    No Kane today is going to seriously hurt right?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      He's already played and got 13 points.

    2. The Mentaculus

      I'm on a green arrow without him

  29. Paganoi

    Had the armband on Haaland all week and changed to Toney last night. I'm terrified right now.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Unless he's >100 EO don't need to be too scared

    Behind the couch watching Halland no show. Hopefully!

      You dont need Haaland to blank, you just need your replacement player and rest of the team to make up for it
