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.

    Ayew will get away with that miss as long as Brighton don't score

      Very nice and I love the Vardy pick. What's your bench like?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Foster, Livramento, Williams and Douglas Luiz

  6. Rainer

    3 YCs from a ban... Time to avoid Gallagher?

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

      In danger of missing GW8

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You'll have to take it with him, he gets booked a lot for silly fouls, simulation, pretty much anything anything can think of

  7. FOO FIGHTER

    I want to se a 'OMG Gallagher' post.

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

      After his second yellow?

  8. Camzy

    Gallagher gets booked every game for the stupidest things. An annoying trait.

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

      Slides like he's at an amusement park

  9. HODGE
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Trent injured for Porto maybe out the weekend

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

      Nothing stated that he is injured. He was in training today.

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

      Read beyond the headline

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

      Not traveled dosen't = injured

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

      Rested and injured aren't the same thing

    Brighton start the week with a chance to go top but will end the week level on points with Arsenal

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

      Bold shout, Brighton away ain't easy.

      10x better team than the last 3 Arsenal have played.

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

    Guaita is a solid choice of keeper. Are you lot going to listen yet?

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

      He is. But Brighton are toothless.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'm just going to try find a way to Martinez, but Palace do look like they still have good defensive performances in them

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Oh sorry, Trent is basically a midfielder and so worth every penny above the other actually goal scoring defenders!

    4. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think I’ll be him on wc7/8. Wondered about Ramsdale but can get white at 4.4

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

      Prefer Raya from GW9

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

      guaita would be my second choice but ramsdale is clear for now

    Tonight is showing exactly how fake news spreads

    You read a headline that's clearly clickbait, don't bother to check for sources or the origin, and repeat it as fact

    It gets repeated enough times, people take the "There's no smoke without fire" approach... And suddenly, it's the reigning fact

    All from clickbait

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

      did he travel then

      1. HODGE
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No he didn't travel and Tuesday champions league game then playing Sunday be no need to be rested

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

      Fake news

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Did you just go fill up by any chance?

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

      TAA didn't travel. Is that fake news?

      Anyone have the article?

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

        Camzy, he's on about people already suggesting it's an injury when nothing has said that yet.

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

        He didn't travel. This is the fact

        The clickbait is that he's injured and likely out for the weekend... Because no given source has said that. All that's known is that he isn't at the hotel tonight, after being seen at training. It's a guess by a journalist, spreading like wildfire with no origin

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

          That's smoke. I do actually think he's likely either sick or injured.

          This isn't the sort of game they'd 'rest' TAA for.

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

            I didn't say there's no smoke. The fact I'm referring to, which is already spreading like wildfire in the FPL community, is that he's injured

            It's a guess, not a fact. But it's spreading like a fact. The smoke itself gets consumed by the imagined fire, and snowballs into a collectively agreed upon fake fact that Trent must definitely be injured right now, not just "Trent isn't at the hotel tonight"

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

      You can't say there isn't smoke. There's smoke, it just doesn't mean he's injured and out of City.

      Unknown either way till tomorrow...

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

        I didn't say there isn't smoke. I'm saying the fire spreads in news like it's as certain as the smoke, when the smoke is all we can see right now

        The real news: Trent isn't at the hotel tonight, after being in training today

        The fake news: Trent is injured, and is likely to miss the weekend

      Welcome to 2021. It takes more effort. Just take solace in the fact that most sheep don't make the effort to check. I know it's super depressing. The internet has only revealed how stupid the human race is.
