Struijk returns to Leeds side as Eze starts for Crystal Palace

1,030 Comments

Fantasy Premier League defender Pascal Struijk (£4.0m) returns to the Leeds United starting XI as they face Crystal Palace in Gameweek 8.

The versatile option was recently designated as the replacement for Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) ahead of a Gameweek 6 trip to Liverpool, only to get substituted inside the opening half-hour after a dismal showing.

However, following a 4-1 home defeat to Leicester, Marcelo Bielsa has turned back to Struijk, who comes into the time in the place of Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m).

The main attention from this game is sure to be on the attacking options though with Patrick Bamford (£6.0m) leading the line and yet to blank on the road this season.

Owned by 33.2%, he is the most popular asset at Selhurst Park this afternoon although Wilfried Zaha (£7.4m) is not that far behind him.

Meanwhile, Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) makes his first start since Gameweek 4.

29% of Fantasy managers come into Gameweek 8 with the out-of-position midfielder, who starts up-front with Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) up-front.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Eze, Riedewald, McArthur, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew.

Leeds United XI: Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Struijk; Harrison, Alioski, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

      When PVA came on against Fulham, Clyne was the one who made way, and Mitchell moved to RB. Roy likes Mitchell, so who knows...

          It's not like Mitchell is burning a hole in our budgets.

    If Man Utd and Man City win their games in hand, the top half of the table will look very familiar. Other than Southampton, it will be the other 9 teams people expect to be in the top half being the Big 6 + Leicester, Wolves, and Everton.

      So you're saying that there is more than one to play it, that form isn't the only criteria to play it, that you can play it by fixtures but if you don't it's because you don't 'understand' upside chasing?
