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.

    Why do CPL persist with Milivojevic?
    He's well past his sell by date.

    Worth doing Gallagher > Smith-Rowe or keep Gallagher for now?

      Why would sell Gallagher? You just bought him recently, no?

      1. Twisted Saltergater

        He’s not fit to lace ESR’s boots, tbf. Totally understandable move.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Just wait until ESR is benched for Pepe one of these weekends.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 15 Years

            You’re getting confused with Saka 🙂

            1. Gunneryank
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              On current form you think Arteta will sit Saka? No chance. Pepe will spell the front 3 for rest imo. Maybe I'm wrong. Pepe needs to get up to speed with the main group. Maybe he does. I dunno.

              1. Twisted Saltergater
                • 15 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                I’m just winding Camzy up tbf.

                Both ESR and Saka are great picks.

                1. Gunneryank
                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Oh ok lol. I've heard the legends of Camzy's uh, hyperbole let's say? I'll back a man who believes what he says when backed up by facts. I get the impression he's rubbed many here the wrong way due to the strength of his conviction.

            2. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              I think ESR gets dropped before Saka. They'll just play Saka LW.

              1. Stupendous
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                ESR has just about nailed down that no.10 spot imo

                Can't possibly fathom Arteta dropping him soon

              2. Gunneryank
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Agreed but ESR is playing to good to drop atm, wouldn't you say? Or no?

                1. Camzy
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Yeah he's good. They're both good picks. Nothing to argue here really.

      2. Robson-Canoe
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Brought him in on WC last GW yes, but ESR form and fixtures look hard to ignore. Palace are meh and their next two fixtures don’t look great.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ESR plays for a more attacking side, and is growing in confidence week after week. But Gallagher has shown he can contribute.

    The sub is subbed

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      and is subdued

  4. Budweiser
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I have Kouyate just seen he's been dropped.. Was he rested, injured, poor form??

  5. Hy liverpool

    Palace fans are awesome

    Taa out of Porto game. Hopefully nothing serious

      This was posted by the Anfield Edition Twitter account 15 minutes ago...

      Trent Alexander-Arnold participated in training today, but was deemed not fit enough to fly and won't feature tomorrow against Porto.

    scout picks choice of defenders this week was rubbish

  8. Dannyb
    • 7 Years

    Thoughts on Zaha and Gray to Rafinha and Gallagher?

  9. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Trent trained today but then didn't travel with the squad to Porto. Hopefully just a reoccurrence of his illness and nothing serious happened during the session...

    Would make it even harder to hold off the WC till GW8.

      Rested for city calm down

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They wouldn't rest him for this game. It is a bit worrying...

        1. soup natsi
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          why not

          1. Rainer
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            He rested vs Milan.

            Tough group, don't rest key players away from home.

          2. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Because it's the champions league and Liverpool have a pretty tough group. TAA wouldn't get rested for this one I'm sure of it.

      2. BrockLanders
        • 9 Years

        Echo suggesting he could be out on Sunday

    2. Flair

      Wonder who had TAA, Shaw and James this week. I can cover 2/3 of that dream trio.

      1. soup natsi
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        3/3

    3. FOO FIGHTER

      Saw him in of the training pics. He looks fine to me.

      Looks ok. Could just have been given the week off.

    5. Podge
      • 13 Years

      Sold him 3 weeks ago for his 12 points, brought him back for 2 now maybe 3 blanks 😆

  10. Flair
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would love to hear Jota thoughtsWorth it long term or better alternatives due to nailedness? How nailed would you consider him, 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 maybe?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would welcome the chance to bench him, tbf.

      But he’ll start.

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’s been training Klopp just doesn’t want to risk him.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Headline grabbing, nothing to go on only the fact TAA hasn't travelled

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Solves my benching headache for me

    5. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Think I'd transfer him out if he's out for a while tbh. There are other assets which could cover nicely.

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was that a Sanchez key pass?

  12. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Alonso Tierney (Livra Williams)
    Salah ESR Sarr Townsend (Allan)
    CR7 Lukaku Antonio.

    I know the midfield is weak but they’re performing. Exact money itb to do it

  13. BeWater
    • 4 Years

    Hopes of a 3rd Sanchez save receding by the minute.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He'll definitely get a chance to make it.

    A Gallagher goal should shoot me in to the Top 100 OR. Come on fella!

      Where’s your Patreon account so I can throw money at you?

        I dunno what that is but if money is getting thrown, I might want to be there!

      Just seen your team. So similar to mine now. Midfield seems so weak doesn’t it

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It definitely reads weak on paper but honestly they're all such good value picks (aside from Gilmour). There might be better Everton options but I don't want to make a sideways move.

        Well done on the Salah captaincy btw. Bold move, paid off!

      Just do it imo.
