Bissouma absent as Edouard makes first start for Palace

In the final match of Gameweek 6, Crystal Palace host Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park in the M23 derby.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) makes his first start for Palace, having scored twice as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 4.

Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m) also features in the starting XI, with Cheikhou Kouyate (£4.5m) and Christian Benteke (£6.3m) dropping to the bench alongside Jeremy Schlupp (£5.4m), who has recovered from a thigh problem.

Eberechi Eze (£5.9m) and Nathan Ferguson (£4.5m) remain sidelined.

As for Brighton, a win at Selhurst Park tonight would see them go top of the Premier League.

Robert Sanchez (£4.6m) and Shane Duffy (£4.3m) – who are currently owned by 25.4% and 22.5% of FPL managers respectively – both start, but Yves Bissouma (£4.6m) misses out with a knee injury and is replaced by Pascal Gross (£6.0m).

Dan Burn (£4.4m) is also in for Solly March (£5.4m).

Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m) again makes the bench, with Graham Potter stating last week that they will carefully manage his return to fitness.

    Are you guys certain Sanchez didn't save the penalty?

      In an alternate universe maybe

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It's called string theory

  2. Hazz

    In fairness to Brighton they've conceded 5 goals and 2 of those are penalties.

    Clean up your act non-Sanchez players!

      I like Sá

  3. Stupendous

    James and Gray
    To
    Rudi and Gallagher

    For free?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gray has a dodgy fixture run and Gallagher is too hard to resist I think now

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gray going rip De Gea apart

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ok

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          The cheap three mids are combining great for Everton

    Trossard self destructed

  5. Cok3y5murf

    Where are the experts who put Sanchez in the GW1 template? Ruined my season...

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wrong account, FPL Virgin...

  6. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Oh pi** right off Tossard.

  7. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Serious question: why so many wishing to bust Brighton cleanie? Just so many managers with Palace assets, or ML rivals with Brighton defense, Duffy, etc?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Brighton Def double up.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Big Brighton defense ownership

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Brighton double ups. I even played Foster this week so I was doubly rooting against it.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Their defensive EO is ~100%

      A Brighton CS would add 6 points to the average, before bonus. Sanchez was on for 10+ points.

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mixed emotions here as i started both Gallagher and Duffy.

    6. OLEgend
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ML rivals with Sanchez and Duffy, I would love another Palace goal.

    7. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 6 months ago

        As everyone has noted, lots of double ups

    8. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha may just enter my team sooner or later.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I know right? In what world do we go mad for Torres yet overlook Zaha in an attacking Palace side. On pens too.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Great price as well for a player on penalties 🙂

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You misspelled Saka. ;D

    9. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who would you rather have on GW8 WC?

      A. Ronaldo
      B. KDB

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not even close

        Ronaldo

        Kdb is the most overpriced player in the game

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Sterling*

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        A

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Neither

      4. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Seriously?

      5. dshv
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nobody!

    10. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Best pog replacement? Other mids are salah, benrahma, gray, allan

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Saka/ESR, Gallagher.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          How did I forgot King Raph, wait for his update though...

      2. OLEgend
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Raphinha,Gallager

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Saka, look at the fixtures ahead for weeks.

      4. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Raph or Saka

    11. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheap midfield carrying my expensive forward line. C'mon Connor!

    12. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I should never have got my hopes up with double Brighton defence grrrr

    13. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gallagher looks very involved but off set pieces with Mili on the field 🙁

      1. OLEgend
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        But finding himself in very attacking positions

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Mili's corners have been awful tbf, mightnt be gone forever.

      3. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He lost all corners?

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          yep. maybe viera puts him back on though cause mili hasnt been very good

    14. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Zero threat till Tossatd did that

    15. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pick 2 out of these
      1. Raphina
      2. Sarr
      3. Gallagher
      4. ESR
      5. Gray

      1. OLEgend
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        1 3

      2. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        1 and 3

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Raphinha Gallagher

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Gallagher better than Gray and Sarr?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yes imo. The stats say he's better and by a fair margin.

            1. OverTinker
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Yes but the upcoming fixtures is the issue

      4. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        1,2. There's gonna be goals in that game.

      5. Predator
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes currently on this

      6. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        1 & 3

      7. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        1 and 3 because they have returned this week

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          They all did

          This feels like GW4 with CR7 and Lukaku

          It's the best week for all the cheap mids. But just like the GW4 threemium, it most likely won't define the season

      8. Cruicky
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This week only 1 & 2.
        After GW8 - 1 & 3.

    16. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Did Torres to Zaha, feeling pretty smug now, not gonna lie.

    17. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That gallagher luck..

    18. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hmmm keep Greenwood for now or get rid for a hit?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Keep this week, especially if he gets another UCL rest.

        You surely have bigger fires this GW.

        1. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Done Shaw to Rudiger so either I get rid of Greenwood for a hit or keep him.

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not for a hit, but soon. United look disjointed and have a terrible fixture run soon.

      3. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t wait to get rid but other priorities

    19. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's clear pen because I have gallagher, no BHA def

    20. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Walker or Laporte?

    21. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I am in head-to-head match with a mate and I'm leading by 8 pts, with Guaita to go.
      He has Gallagher ofc. Why on the earth had to be him involved ffs?!

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha my brother had Guaita, and I helped my Dad with his team this week and brought Gallagher in for him!! Wish I’d id brought Traore in now!! Hehe

    22. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      As if Gallagher got another assist, literally every player I don’t have scores points

    23. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leicester, and both Arsenal (rejuvenated), and City away in the next 4 for Palace

      Hardly inspires excitement to me.

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I think it's fine to wait till GW11 before jumping on Gallagher or Zaha.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Same. One less team to focus on for now
          Ta

      2. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Leicester (home), Arsenal (away), Newcastle (home).

        That is not bad. I own Schmeichel (dno what I am doing at this point tbh), and I will most certainly field Gallagher next GW.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah it's not bad, just not must have either.

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            No I agree. But handy player if going for the TAA, Salah, Lukaku and CR7 quadro (even with Antonio too).
            Just felt the poster was somewhat misleading people a bit on here since Newcastle at home was left out 😀

    24. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raphinha misses out GW 8 right?

      Brazil game too late for a GW 8 start I guess

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If he even goes with these injury problems

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Then he won’t start GW 8 as well

          Brazil medical staff to ascertain if he’s fit enough to participate

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Sounds ridiculous tbh, will wait for some official
            Info.

            1. pundit of punts
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              I’m talking about the club claiming injury after gw7. In that case Brazil conducts a check and decides

              Nothing to wait on that bit of info

              1. Atimis
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                But it’s not like Leeds will say that he is injured and Brazil will say nope, he is good to go.

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I wonder if he withdraws from the international matches to get some rest??

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It’s his first ever call up

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Oh is it, didn’t Know that, he’ll want to go then!!

          2. Utopsis
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            T'was his first call up in the previous window and he chose not to go then

            1. Cruicky
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              no, the PL/FA stopped the Brazilians from going - as Brazil is on the red list so they'd have to quarantine upon return. this time, it seems they'll relax that to allow them to play.

      3. Cruicky
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        that's the thing, he'll want to go 100% after last time, so he can't risk injury GW7. However, if he misses this weekend, will Brazil still select him? Tough spot.

        I'd still keep/get him in for WC. Best player at that price point, nice GW9 & 10 fixtures.

    25. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ditching Bruno and Bamford. Have 3.0 itb bank
      Lukaku up front.
      Leaves 11.1 for a midfield slot

      Who would you go for?

    26. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1 more save and Sanchez is on 5 points

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That turns me on a bit to be fair

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Don't tell me anything more!

        2. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          😀

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        he'll lose bonus if Palace keep a clean sheet past 60 minutes

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          As long as their is CP own goal during extra time rhe situation at 60 mins doesn't matter 😉

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Won't be once the Palace CSs roll in.

        1. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          still possible, probably needs more than 1 save

      4. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        45 mins to go, going to be picking ball out the net again.

    27. Offside Trapattoni
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Minutes and performance expectation from Hause moving forward?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He has a low ceiling

      2. soup natsi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        None and none, Tuanzebe is preferred afaik

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        Tuanzebe on loan from United, couldn't play vs them.

        Hause might keep his spot after the CS but he'd be first to drop out for Tuanzebe and he's 4th choice CB if they moved back to a 4.

        Avoid.

      It’s not all bad, Sanchez has got Norwich in his next four games….

      … along with Arsenal, City and Liverpool

          That is why I have moved to a premium GK but have not owned Sanchez. Ha ha

        I reckon there's a surprise haul somewhere in there.

          Probably against Arsenal since it’s their second coming apparently

        The Arsenal that smashed Norwich and Burnley Arsenal?

      I’ve already done Torres > ESR, someone talk me out of taking a -8 and doing Jota & Bamford > Gallagher/Sarr and Lukaku…

      Sanchez
      Trent - Rudiger - Marcal
      Salah - Jota - ESR - Gray
      Antonio - Bamford - Cr7

      Bench: Steele - Livra - Sissoko - Williams

      Sky commercials are fun for us yanks. Weetabix is a delicious treat for you Brits? Looks yummy.

        You have to make sure you finish it, otherwise it turns to cement.

          Americans do that anyway.

            Exactly the reason I wrote it.

        Basicly wheat and sugar bars.

        Nice thing to have for breakfast but they are no substitute for porridge.

          Sounds like frosted mini-wheats, which is lovely.

            There are reasons why Americans are THE sickest creatures to EVER walk the face of the Earth.

            There are similar reasons why Brits aren't far behind.

            There are a few listed here.

            At least Frosted mini-wheats have a nice taste for people to get a craving for (like all junk!)!

              I mean...our junk food is better at least. 😀

                I don't know about that.

                Your chocolate is simply awful, and British sweets/candy, is a mile ahead.

                You've got more processed crap sure.

                I'd take the British poison over the Yanks

                American fast food isn't even as good as British either tbh.

                Indian, Chinese, kebabs, fish and chips over your burgers, pizza and similar versions of "Asian" food.

                  Maybe. You may have not had American fast food, but maybe you have. The best of it is amazing. We may not have Indian and Chinese the way it should be, but real hamburgers and pizza are mana from heaven. Still junk food mind, but elevated to an art form.

                  Plus our trump card is hispanic food. I won't piss on the Indian cuisine you may boast, but you haven't lived until you've had our street tacos. Just saying.
