Zaha absent for Crystal Palace as Alli returns for Spurs

Wilfried Zaha (£6.8m) will take no part in Crystal Palace’s meeting with Tottenham Hotspur this evening after being absent from the matchday squad.

That news comes after Roy Hodgson revealed in his press conference earlier in the week that he had no fresh injury concerns ahead of Gameweek 12.

The Eagles’ back-four remains unchanged but it looks as if they are lining up with a 4-2-3-1 in Zaha’s absence. Jordan Ayew (£5.8m) looks set to lead the line.

Meanwhile, Dele Alli (£8.9m) returns to the Tottenham starting line-up for Spurs the first time since Gameweek 4. Fantasy managers hoping to invest in Spurs’ appealing schedule around Gameweek 15 or 16 will be looking for a strong performance from the England international.

Erik Lamela (£6.4m) starts a third match in a row with Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) named on the bench.

Crystal Palace XI (4-2-3-1): Hennessey; Van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka; Kouyaté, McArthur; Townsend, Milivojevic, Meyer; Ayew.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris, Davies, Foyth, Alderweireld, Trippier, Wanyama, Sissoko, Alli, Moura, Lamela, Kane.

    What's happened to international England goalkeepers Heaton and Pope?

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hart dragged them them down with him.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hart ain't too bad as long as he doesn't have to use his feet.

      I expect Rondon pricw rise tonight

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Rondon's price does not rise, every other player's price must fall.

  14. child of God

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

  15. Meinhoff

    Kenedy 1 bonus point, noice

  16. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I was settled on Salah and Fraser to Mane and Sterling during IB, but Fraser is consistently getting points.
    Would you do that trade?

  17. Ógie

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years

      Scrappy goal

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No matter what else happens, Danny Ings has won GW12

    Hattrick v Fulham coming up next

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If he plays. He's had a problem with persistent injury before. Could be worrying.

      1. french holiday
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Atleast he got replaced sooner before it got worse

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Should be back from a knock during the international break

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      GW12 only consists of this Saturday?!

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmm. I should really learn to read.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        The first part of the sentence addresses the GW status

        I don’t care if Salah scores 7 goals v Fulham, Ings has still done better

  20. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Got the form player in Wilson over likes of ings/Jimenez/rondon

    Never falling for form trap again. Will always prefer fixtures from now on

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      One game...

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      Exaxtly Form is overated

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Have always been fixtures over form but one bad game shouldn't force you to change your methodology. Stick with what has been working for you

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Wasn't expecting Palace to start off by dominating Spurs, but here we are.

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs to win by a handful then if their season is anything to go by

    2. Piggs Boson

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years

    2. Hooky

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't have the greatest game versus Palace & played the full 90 versus BATE. I think he'll start on the bench, but who knows.

      Bet he'd love to score versus Everton, though.

    Foyth is a calamity!!

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Proper Brucie bonus for the opposition when he's playing.

    2. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years

      You wonder how some of these players attain the levels that they do.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        If he weren't Argentinian, would Poch have him anywhere near this team? Probably not.

  28. Klein
    • 8 Years

    Whats the story of rondon? Been poor or not getting game time? Lucky today or played well?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      He's shite so must have been lucky.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      His shots are headers. Headers are difficult to predict will they get in

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      10 men Brighton helped.

      If he sticks to form he shouldn't score again this side of Brexit.

      1. Hooky
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Has he moved to Cardiff?

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Not yet 😉

          I'll go with what Epic said, cause mine was a Fail.

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years

    Out of these 4.2 or below defenders who is most likely to feature the most? Discounting Awb and Bennett

    A) Yoshida
    B) Daniels
    C) Cunningham
    D) Long
    E) Mariappa
    F) Peltier
    G) some one else

    1. Carlton P

      Is Daniels 4.2? He could feature now. Smith injury didn’t look good at all
