Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have long been able to turn to Crystal Palace’s defensive assets for cheap returns.

The Eagles, marshalled by veteran Roy Hodgson, have hit double-figures for clean sheets in the last two seasons, and also carried set piece potential.

But this season, the well appeared to have run dry, with Palace only recording three clean sheets thus far.

More worryingly, the Selhurst Park outfit were also on the end of two Christmas stuffings, losing 7-0 to Liverpool and being outplayed by 10 men in their 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

But since the Villa defeat, Palace’s defence has shown signs of recovery, with encouraging performances against Leicester and Arsenal.

We are taking a deep dive into the stats to see if Palace can once again be relied upon for cheap defensive returns.

As this article uses extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

It seems perfectly fine to be in a position where you have to start 1 of ESR and Soucek every week
Right?

I mean, we can make a case of starting either of them week in week out atm I guess...

    They seem both assured starters at the moment at least and even better both have attacking returns in them. You won’t get a regular scorer or assister at 4.4m !

Don't know if this is only readable with a subscription but a good read of an article from The Athletic on the title race, each team's flaws and issues this season:

    Honestly I think their sports journalism is top notch - they've managed to hoover up all the best journos and produce some excellent insightful content.
    
    I managed to sign up on a special offer so got for cheaper - but still may be worth it tbh

  It's a little too surface level for me.
  
  I much prefer the team deep dives on the Athletic. The ones that looked at Liverpool's recent problems was good.

Does the potential of city have doubles in 24, 26 and 27 warrant getting Dias over Cancelo (already own Stones) simply because of his security of starts? Is this enough to nullify potential gains from Cancelo's attacking upside?

I was initially considering to bring in Cancelo for a free this week, but should I be reconsidering?

    His stats are crazy, and he passes the eye test with the crosses he whips in and shots...however, City haven't been finishing these off due to Sterling etc being a bit off (he plays off Sterling a lot)- It feels like a haul is imminent...If he was nailed-on I'd have him over Dias any day

      I think if you’ve got stones already, then It gives you the licence to a bit more of a risk with Cancelo.
      Like you say... he’s due.

  hard to say, I'd guess Barkley if he's on the pitch (not sure his record though?).
  
  Jack has never been first choice (took and missed one last season). Watkins took no pens in his 26 goals in champ last season and 1 from 2 for us this year so far.
  
  Conor would have been an option if he made it onto the pitch but we've loaned him to Swansea this afternoon

      after this round a few more games will be confirmed due to teams knocked out, and as the 5th round draw already taken place you can make educated guess on remaining blanks. Ben Crellin spreadsheet on twitter has all the info i think

Is it right to still target Fulham fixtures?
Tottenham and Chelsea struggled against them and with Lemina and Loftus-Cheek back into midfield for Man Utd game to add to Lookman, Anguissa and Cavaleiro I think they can cause problems for them.
