The penultimate match of Gameweek 15 takes place at Craven Cottage, with Fulham entertaining Crystal Palace.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

The headline team news is that Daniel Munoz is absent for Palace with a minor knee injury.

Nathaniel Clyne takes the place of the Colombian, who was transferred in by over 377,000 managers for Gameweek 15, while Eddie Nketiah also comes in for Jefferson Lerma.

The latter alteration will presumably see Daichi Kamada move into central midfield alongside Adam Wharton.

As for Fulham, Ryan Sessegnon is missing and Sasa Lukic drops to the bench. Timothy Castagne and Samuel Chukwueze, who scored a brace off the bench in midweek, replace them.

Emile Smith Rowe continues in the ‘10’ role, with Josh King benched.

LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne, Iwobi, Berge, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze, Jimenez

Subs: Lecomte, Cuenca, Diop, Lukic, Cairney, King, Adama, Kevin, Kusi-Asare

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Clyne, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Nketiah, Pino, Mateta

Subs: Matthews, Benitez, Lerma, Uche, Hughes, Esse, Canvot, Sosa, Devenny

    Does Mateta always look so sluggish?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Heavy bottom

  2. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Please avoid a silly yellow Guehi

    Just tuned in now. Wow. I get senesi 8 pointer!

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Munoz might get some pointers as well.. about behaviour

  4. Brosstan

    I did some research on 29 year old internationals based in London (regarding the arrest news).

    Arsenal: Mikel Merino
    Chelsea: None
    Spurs: Vicario, Bissouma
    Palace: Daniel Munoz
    Fulham: Sasa Lukic, Alex Iwobi, Joachim Andersen, Adama Traore - All are present in today's squad though which would indicate its none of them.
    West Ham: None
    Brentford: Mathias Jensen

    Disclaimer: I used AI so the results might not be 100% correct but I went through each club looking for 29 year old non Brits.

    So there are some players it could be other than Munoz. But not that many and him missing out with a random injury the same day as the news breaks makes you wonder.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Interesting

    2. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      As a non-owner hopefully it is Muñoz, looks distinctly possible

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Hell be back next week even if it's him

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      BBC sport said Munoz missed out through a knee injury jury

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        If he was arrested, would they say the truth? Man United didnt say anything about Mason Greenwood for a long time even though everybody knew it was him. Same with Benjamin Mendy.

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          Same for Partey, Arse kept it a secret, despite the secret being out.

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Could be from using his Tiger Knee special move

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Bissouma is a bit of a naughty boy, and been out of favour. Could see it being him.

      Could be a Championship player

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Bossouma is in trouble again but for entirely different reasons

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          Yeppers. That's why I said what I said.

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        I thought the news said Premier League footballer but you are right. That makes it a fair bit less likely its Munoz.

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      There's also international players in the Championship tbf.

    6. wiseguy
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Wouldn't have thought he'd have been out in London at 1am the night before a game.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        News report read like a domestic incidence to me.

  5. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 29 days ago

    Palace is by far the worst team to watch in the league, holy crap...c'mon Fulham

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      lol yeah right 😀

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Yeah watched them a couple of times, since I was a Sarr and Mateta owner. Really not entertaining

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Sure they have some decent attacks now and then, but overall zzZzZzZ

        1. Zalk
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          Yep, a big snore fest. It's like watching Stoke back in that Shawcross/Delap era.

      2. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        haha, I mean they play a 5-5-0 right now when defending.

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Surely joking. Man United are far worse.

  6. Sergio Giorgini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 29 days ago

    De Cuyper got me 8 pts today, happy with that esp as a differential. Any BHA fans in here, how nailed will he be going fwd? Got him as a bit of a punt for a couple of weeks. Been fun but not sure what I'll do with him once Mitoma etc back

  7. Absolutely Muñozed
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Seems like West Ham defense has improved - just before my Haaland TC

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Yup

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        This is the way.

        It will be Foden highest scorer in that game anyway!

      3. mookie
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        That's why you should've used it against Leeds like me. Missed opportunity.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          lol!

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          The only recent Gw not on Haaland captain was midweek for me.

    • FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      What a goal by Wilson, only just seen it

      1. Sergio Giorgini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Certainly was, like a work of art

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Yeah fabulous goal. He’s on fire right now.

    • Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      I bought Mateta for the defcons

    • MOZIL
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      a) Gordon or BrunoG?
      and
      b) Gakpo or Szobozlai?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        BrunoG & Gak for higher ceiling or Szob if you prefer safe & solid.

        1. MOZIL
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          why BrunoG over Gordon?

      2. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        c) None of the above.

    • Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 months, 29 days ago

      Munoz still safe to bring in?

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Wait for post match pressers.

        1. mookie
          • 12 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          At least.

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Not if he’s going to jail

        1. Jet5605
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          Potential bummer for those who brought him in last night for Virgil

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          Any jail time would be in a long time. Him being out on bail already means the offence isnt serious enough to keep him in custody until a trial.

          The biggest risk for any player (and FPL owners) is if the offense is so bad that the club feels pressured to distance themselves from the player (like with Mason Greenwood).

      3. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Once he's let out

        Likely this afternoon if all true

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 29 days ago

          The player in question is already out on bail.

      Mateta = 10 blanks in 15
      Bruno G = 5 blanks in 13

      Dropping that third striker slot like a hot potato

        Giui has been my 3rd striker for ages

      2. RICICLE

      My first time watching Mateta. What should I expect?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 29 days ago

        Blanks for weeks and then lots of goals
