Struijk returns to Leeds side as Eze starts for Crystal Palace

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.

    Typical Bamford never scored for us, was a cert to score against us!l though!

    2. Bada Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Apparently his arm. Fake offside like Mane vs Everton.

      1. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Like fake handball for Everton vs us

      2. ivantys

        What's surprising lol we've seen armpit offside as well

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

    Low-key annoyed with the advice that was given here for Bamford before the PL started lol

    1. Legendary!
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hard same. Turned me off a bit but I am ultimately responsible for my own decisions

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same, a tad. All I heard was that he can’t hit a barn door (maybe that was true last year).

      Tbf I did also expect Rodrigo to be their new focal point when he signed, and have just never found the FT to hop on the bandwagon since.

    VAR sucks.

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It’s great

  13. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane Podence to Bamford Bruno. Leaves 1.4 ITB too

    Why am I tempted

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Get Antonio

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Injured, isnt he? If fit I’d take Antonio in that move instead yeah

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Expected to be back

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Daniel says he's fit after the international break.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Same knee jerk idea here 😉

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Antonio + KDB/Sterling could be better move

  14. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Got to love VAR!

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years

      Very much so. Unless UTD are playing then it works differently

  15. Salan

    PL VAR is disgusting.

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nah

  16. Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I dont have Bamford....but this is 100% bulsh*t

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No it’s not.

  17. Pavsboot
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need Bamford bad regardless of that. He seems the one to have in a Leeds side that'll obviously do well this season.

  18. beric
    • 12 Years

    Hahaha thats never offside. Lovely

    1. Gudjohnsen

  21. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Of all fixtures, is this the one where Guaita hauls? 😀
    My gut weirdly says yes

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford has ARS eve che next so I think I'll continue to be an ostrich for now...

    1. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years

      i went Watkins, for the fixtures comming up.

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would be fuming if I was a Bamford owner.

    The English don't know how to use VAR

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't even know why that was given, they did it so quickly as well. His arm was obviously off, but that doesn't matter. Joke.

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    FPL is so much more boring with VAR. Goals can’t be celebrated anymore.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It’s happened to my players 8-10 times so far. Getting used to it. VAR broke football.
