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.

  4. WVA
    • 7 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You've employed more effort commenting that it wasn't the right ID than just changing it. I'm strangely annoyed by this string

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Then fella get a grip with your life and stop getting mad at irrelevant and minuscule things like this.

              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                I’m allowed to brag aren’t I? No?

                I wanted to see how well I do from gameweek 8 onwards...is this an issue?

                1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

            Weekly prize team. Cheat

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Not a cheat at all. I have one team and have created it for this week onwards to see how I do? If I was looking to win the total as mount of points surely I’d use a chip?

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Amount*

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

              to be eligible for a weekly prize, I believe you have to have had an account for longer then a week. AFAIK, pretty sure they changed it this season to counter people doing this.

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno [C]?

    8. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      lol 7milth entry

    9. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This is the most annoying string posted by the most annoying commenter of the season so far

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I got 46 from 3 - this is a correct statement.

        I created a team this week - this is a correct statement

        This is a cheat team for one week - No this is incorrect. If I was looking to get the max points this week surely I’d have used the TC chip or something? I wouldn’t have captained Fernandes either lol

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You're weird

  11. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I am ditching one of these, which one?

    A) Zaha
    B) Guaita

    Thanks

    1. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd keep both for upcoming schedule, but if you have to choose one, definitely Guaita. Martinez is probably who you want right now

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Surely not gonna sell Guaita before facing 3 of the worst attacks. Since you've already kept him for so long might as well.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely don't waste a transfer on a GK unless your team is perfect

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha (bur NEW wba), anyone else better at that price?

  12. Sun Jihai

    Brewster to score his first goal today

    1. FPL Daniel

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

    Facts - Everton have NEVER won a PL game without Richarlison featuring since he joined the club in 2018.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wow

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

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

      Crazy eh, they have had some draws at points but never a win without Rich

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane and Stephens out BAM bam and Bruno in?

    Or sell the injured Antonio to Bam Bam and Son to Bruno?

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane hasn’t even played

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not important.

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He has to score a hattrick for me to even consider not selling him.

    Evening guys. Been out all day but how did Hamez Rod play today.....got 3 nice fixtures but can see he was subbed of early ??

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The whole front attack was a bit meh. Didnt realise his impact but they clearly miss richarlison

    Werner has been scoring as striker: why has he been moved to wide?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Because I brought him in on FH

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Because Havertz and Pulisic are out
