Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest brings Gameweek 35 to a close this evening.

Kick-off at Selhurst Park is at 20:00 BST.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner assured us that he was going to go strong with his starting XIs in the run-up to the FA Cup final in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

He’s been as good as his word this evening, naming an unchanged side from the one that beat Aston Villa 3-0 at Wembley just over a week ago.

Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has made two changes from his side’s 2-0 defeat by Brentford on Thursday.

One is enforced as Callum Hudson-Odoi misses out with a hamstring issue.

Ryan Yates also drops to the bench as Nicolas Dominguez and Ibrahim Sangare come into the side.

Both sides have aspirations of European football next season, although Palace’s best hope of UEFA Europa League football is likely through winning the FA Cup and Forest’s pursuit of a UEFA Champions League qualification place is faltering.

Even a win for the Eagles tonight would still leave them five points adrift of eighth place.

Forest, meanwhile, will still be outside the top five even with a victory this evening (unless it’s 10-1!), although will at least be level on points with Newcastle United and Chelsea above them.

LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Sarr, Eze, Mateta.

Subs: Matthews, Lerma, Nketiah, Franca, Clyne, Hughes, Esse, Chilwell, Devenny.

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Anderson, Sangare, Elanga, Gibbs-White, Dominguez, Wood.

Subs: Miguel, Morato, Awoniyi, Toffolo, Silva, Yates, Sosa, Danilo, Boly.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Not really

    2. Mr. Eko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      AB

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      raya to sels
      rogers to elanga
      munoz to sess/ran

      or none if you want rogers for 37 and raya for 38. i mean munoz might not get another cs this season, so i guess he might be the one to go

    4. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Raya and Kerkez are probably the ones that stand out to me most, I'd lean towards prioritizing taking out Raya personally. Good team & player though so it can quite easily backfire

  10. g40steve

    Eddie G offside

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years

    nketiah offisde goal

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Would have been Eze A

  12. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Forest defence have 1 more chance for me next week.

    That late goal conceded against Everton was a killer. Been so leaky since

  13. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Nketiah should stand next to the GKer next time. Horrible awareness

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Glad Forest lost out to Palace

  14. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Sarr looks like he's playing in wet cement.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Eze has looked instead... But Sarr and Mateta I have.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Good...

  15. adrianh2024
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Munoz, Sarr, Mateta -> all a disaster. Mateta for the chop this week - either Wood or Wissa is coming in

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Worst thing is I could have already taken a hit this week and benefited from having KDB over Sarr or Wissa over Mateta, I went dull somehow…

    1. Mr. Eko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Don’t Think about hits now and attack

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yeah I took that gamble with about 15 seconds left before the game locked. Did Sarr > KDB (C) for a -4. Paid off nicely.

  17. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    This look ok for next week? Move is Sarr to Eze.

    Sels
    Gvardiol Dias Munoz
    Salah Saka Mbeumo(C) Eze Rogers
    Isak Marmoush
    Raya Mateta Konsa Saliba

  18. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years

    pretty decent result tonight largely as a neutral with only Munoz

  19. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    that a save for sels? please

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      *hasnt gone down as one 🙁

    2. nanxun
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      looks like just cutting out cross

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      think he just got a point

  20. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    I don't like how easy Palace players are going down and how the ref reacts to this.

  21. Eightball
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Not going to play Mateta regardless but cant make up my mind if I want to get rid of Marmoush (I have 3 city) and play Frank AM or play Pep AM.

    1. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I will be getting Wood in for either Mateta or Marmoush.

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Wood tempting against Leicester

  22. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Isak or Marmoush >> Cunha (c) next week?

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I like it

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Marm plays Southampton

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Isak has pens & scores against anyone

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Yep I’m keeping both

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Marmoush has been diapointing .

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              1 year, 2 months ago

              Agreed. But very risky to sell when he plays one of the worst teams in PL history

  23. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Sarr and mateta to Bowen and wissa -4?

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yes.

      Between KDB & Bowen for myself.

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        I got kdb already

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I’d only remove one Palace player this week. They play Spurs.

    3. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yes

  24. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Waste of time.

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Palace created a lot of chances. I enjoyed it.

  25. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    They really screwed the baps up this season didn’t they

  26. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Raya, Ederson
    Munoz, Gvardiol, Saliba, Livramento, Cucurella
    Salah, Trossard, Eze, Murphy, Asensio
    Marmoush, Mateta, Watkins

    3FT, AM + BB

    A) Would you go BB36, AM37-38 or AM all three weeks?
    B) Who is your best tip for AM?
    C) What player is most important for the last three?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      For A,. BB36 for sure. Max you're getting from AM in 36 is around 10.

      1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Isn't that also what the BB chip has produced?

  27. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    As a Glasner AM owner I feel like 9 points is a loss. Lucky deflected goal. Cross bar and a just offside goal. what can you do

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yeah we didn't get much luck tonight.

  28. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    If Forest weren't playing Leicester next...

    ... I wood sels.

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Aina more accurate statement

  29. putana
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    yawn another penalty deciding who gets all the points. Very little reason to not just fill your team with pen takers. Really hope Mark fixes this problem next season

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Fairly happy with just Mitchell from this game

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      The other week I had Asensio and Eze (c) and they missed 3 pens between them

  30. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Would you do Moyes to Frank for a hit?

    Had AM on Moyes but EVE couldn’t beat IPS at home and there is no table bonus vs FUL now
