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.

    Selling James was a terrible mistake. Sake.

      As soon as I buy him back he gets benched again. I can feel it.

      VAR checking this. Could take a few months.

    Casuals with jorginho punished again...

    Zaha so frustrating to own. Blanks and hauls when you don't expect him to. Almost captained him this week

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

      Wouldn't ever captain him but with his/Palace's form he's looking a real nice pick.

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

      4th best midfielder at 7.4m, I would take that. Frustrating? No.

  11. Duke Silver ☑

    A 1-0 to Chelsea with Chilwell winner will do.

    1. Chucky

      this

    Just one more return from Zaha, and I'm a happy chappy... would be nice to have a shot at Fantasy5 too, like... Mount up next.

    Werner on Pens

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

      Yes

    2. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He would be even in Jorginho played btw - he's now first choice

      1. MarcusAurelius
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I saw midweek. It sealed the Jimmy to Werner transfer this week tbh. It’s just nice to know it’s guaranteed with Jorginho on bench.

        1. Saka Punch
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yup, Chelsea gets so many pens so fingers crossed we get another couple this week 😉

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

  27. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Reluctantly have to bring James in now don't i. Fair play, ill eat my words on this one.

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

      My hope (probably misplaced haha) is that he gets to a point where he's as likely to get rested as Chillwell with Azpi filling in at either side from time to time.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Azpi always will be a threat but looks like he has taken the spot for now, sadly.

        1 pointer would be nice here though

  28. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Reece James to outscore Chillwell please

  29. Dynamic Duos
