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.

    Should Dias not have been booked there?

  2. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    We really do need a Haaland haul just to keep the season honest

  3. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Predictions for this match? Foden is the man in form- I reckon he’ll be in the goals

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1-2 city, Zaha pen

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

        1-1

    2. noissimbus
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      0:1 is my pessimistic prediction.

    3. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      0-0 - Man City to continuously pass the ball, do nothing with it and bore the pants off everyone.......

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m doing Mee -> Chilwell

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No way I would sell Estupinan

      1. Plumbers Pan
        • 3 Years

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted as I worry about the Australian trip in the IB a bit

    5. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Henry to Chilly

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This is what I’m looking at, dgw 29 not great for Brentford

  5. I Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bus captained for next week Kane or Saka?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka, I don't trust Spurs.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kaka

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

      100% Saka

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier maybe

    5. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might think about Chilwell

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane - double

  6. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Should the Leeds own goal have been awarded to Solly March?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years

      Possible yes but have to go with ref

    2. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

  7. BECKS TO THE FUTURE

    Every Haaland point drops me 25k. (State) Ownership ruining the game smh.

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How is that working? If you, for example, have 70 points without Haaland and the average is around 50, then it doesnt matter if you have him or not, does it?

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I have no idea 🙂 I barely know how to pick a captain, let alone xEO Delta.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Every Haaland point gives me a rank gain of 10 places 😮

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hahah marginal gains are all the rage.

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It will only be 50k then

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      how can you tell what points you are with others until finalised for GW?

    Haaland asking for a yellow

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Change name to Andy Carrol and he would.

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

      Would love it, but still not clear.

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Commentary suggests it was Messi. But Brighton won't care.

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

        Lol!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Sarcasm? Fair if so 🙂

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

            No I liked your joke. ‘The goal is messi’

            1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Haha thanks. It was the honest enthusiasm that made me wary.

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is is possible they could change?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Looks like he scores there.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ugh, that is close!

      Fact it was reviewed and changed, they won't go back to it...

    5. AC/DC AFC

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        To me in slow motion it looks like March, but too late now anyway

  9. Bobby Digital

    Salah to Saka nobrainer?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years

      A brainer IMO

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      depends when

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years

        GW28

  10. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years

    Bad luck with Mitoma today...should have had more bonus, very close, and assists

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      12 points with a game to go. Happy days!

  11. Digital-Real

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle have only won 2 league games since the restart!

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Newcastle have only been beaten by Liverpool and Man City in the league this season.

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        To be fair, they were only not beaten by Arsenal and Man Utd due to refereeing errors

        They are widespread this season though

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Lol

    For those who might have some lingering interest in the weather in Leeds. It's snowing again here.

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

      I miss the weather forecasting service we’ve enjoyed in the last 24 hours. I was als disappointed to lose the regular updates on the Stevenage match

  13. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I see that Leicster again created 2.0+ xG today vs Chelsea.

    How did Nacho go? Will be he dropped, he missed a few vs Saints.

    Would love to get him for the double if his place is secured.

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

      “The Nigerian striker did not find form during the fixture. Leicester got the player involved frequently enough to impact the match as the forward links up well with rushing wing-backs and the ever-present English attacking-midfielder. However, Iheanacho did not score despite a chance and sometimes chose the wrong pass crushing an opportunity.”

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I own him. Not too confident that he’s deserving to retain his place but he’s had 6 in a row now

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Must have been tough to watch vs Man united and Saints

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

          Got him on WC last week. He’s racking up a solid 2 points each match and a heap of unfulfilled promise. I’m hoping for a haul soon

  14. Jässi
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Didn't see the Brighton game. How did Steele play? Could he have saved the goals? Any chance Sanchez gets his spot back now?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      First took a deflection which took it away from him, second he could have done better - not like Sanchez definitely would have...

      They were very persistent with their passing from the back, which he did fine in bar one pass.

      It would be weird for RDZ to put Sanchez back in now, wouldn't be too worried if I owned.

      One very good save!

    2. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did what was expected from him by manager - played very well with his foots and also did his job in goal

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      One very good save. Alisson would have saved the second goal but most goalies wouldn't. He's fine.

  15. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This sofa isnt big enough

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Neither was the goal for Haaland.

  16. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland big chance

  17. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lol, Haaland misses open goal

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Selling him tonight

  18. The Senate

    Sitter that

  19. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Has Haaland been kidknapped and replaced by his twin brother since the world cup?

    2. Hooky

      Mikkel Beck returns

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      or PL have worked out during the World Cup break how to stop him scoring

    4. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same thing happened to Dele Alli when he went to Spurs.

    5. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wasn't that good before either, but he scored. So people didn't watch how he plays. Lukaku like, bad first touch, clumsy and static. But he do have extreme qualities in front of goal.
      Watkins would have had 20 goals plus too, if he played for City.

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    LOL

    Haaland sellers get that lottery ticket bought ASAP!

  21. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If I find one fwd who I think he gets 15+ pts in 28,29 then I’m selling Haaland.
    Else I don’t think I’m selling for 11.8 to buy back on 12.1 in 2 gws time

    1. DMP
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Insole him for Kane this GW. Already on 13 points.

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Watkins / Nacho / Johnson ?

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watkins, Wilson or Havertz should get 15+

  22. Tcheco
    • 8 Years

    There's a champions league game in a couple days Pep take your striker off early
