Gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at Selhurst Park this evening, with Crystal Palace hosting table toppers Manchester City at 20:00 GMT.

Pep Guardiola sticks with the same XI that beat Manchester United so convincingly in Gameweek 28.

That means Joao Cancelo recovers from illness to feature at left-back, while Nathan Ake also returns to the matchday squad as a substitute.

Further forward, attacking trio Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden all start in Pep’s usual 4-3-3 formation.

Ruben Dias, meanwhile, misses the trip through injury as expected.

As for Palace, they are unchanged from the side that beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 last time out.

Nathaniel Clyne retains his place at right-back, while the returning Joel Ward is named as a substitute.


GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Kouyate, Schlupp, Gallagher, Olise, Zaha, Mateta

Subs: Butland, Matthews, Ward, Tomkins, Ayew, Eze, Benteke, Edouard, Riedewald

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish, Foden

Subs: Steffen, Carson, Ake, Sterling, Gundogan, Jesus, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Mbete

    Title race WIDE open now

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Only if Liverpool win at Arsenal

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Or at Etihad

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          that will be tough

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Be some game, they’ll be proper fired up

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        They always win there, comfortably too usually

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Arsenal in great form now

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            This is true, and tightened up at the back too

              If my maths are correct, then Man City might not be top when they start their next league match.

            Form goes out the window when you play Liverpool

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      They would have to beat Arsenal first, tough game for them

    What option to take for next GW?
    A) Maupay/Weghorst -> Toney (FT)
    B) Take a hit to get 8 players?
    C) FH (have 2 still)
    D) another option?

    Currently have this for Gw30 (with 1 FT and 1 mill in the bank) :

    Ramsdale
    White
    Son Kulu Coutinho Saka

    Not playing: Gunn; TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, T.Silva, Salah, Maupay, Weghorst, Broja

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      C in your position.
      Same as I'm doing, and I can put out 8 without hits, albeit with Digne and Hwang amongst them.
      Aim to use the 2nd FH in 33 I think, as 36 will probably involve most of the big names we all have anyway.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Freehit. Your team looks like a half baked cake

    Any news on Salah?

    Hoping as an Arsenal fan and Kane capper that’ll hell miss this one but back the next game.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Think he will start for sure now after tonight’s result.
      Klopp smelling blood

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Unfortunately I agree

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          No one knows

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

  5. The Reptile

    Did Cancelo to Doherty for a hit... Too scared to watch the match only just saw the score and 3 baps for Cancelo - always intended to keep Him but gambled near the deadline

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      kept him but benched him. doh.

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Well as they say in the Paddy power ad. Please gamble sensibly 😉

    will give me following team for this week:
    Sa
    Kilman White Dohetry Digne
    Raphinna Saka Ramsey

    (Foster TAA Salah Mount)

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years

      I would.

  7. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is there anything worth a transfer here? Or just field 9? 0mitb

    Could do rudiger / video and broja to arsenal defender and toney - 4. Not sure it's worth it though

    Thanks

    Sa (Dubravka)
    Saiss doherty (Taa vvd rudiger)
    Coutinho ramsey kulusevski saka (Salah)
    Kane laca (broja)

    1. Haalander

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You have the big hitters so I’d say you’re good to go

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers.....vvd - not video!

    Is Amartey’s time up too soon to make it worthwhile transferring him in for 30 and for Leicester double games ahead?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve put him in

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Fofana will be eased in with sub apps after long term injury. Amartey should be fine for 30, I wouldn't be confident as we head towards the end of the season unless BR reverts to 3ATB

  9. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years

    Ben White or Luke Thomas?

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ben white

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      White.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      White

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Never lei defence

  10. Hint
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Ramsey and Cancelo to Kulu and Doherty for-8 going great so far

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      would you have played ramseu though?

      1. Indpush
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Good question. I have him third on bench.

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Another 5-0 for spurs and you’ll be a happy camper

  11. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Probably going to WC in 31, 32 at latest so is
    Salah + Weghorst > Maddison + Kane (-4)

    worth it?

    Cheers everyone!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      As long as you have a plan to get Salah back then yeah it's decent moves for this GW

  12. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Why did Sterling not start or even come on?
    Weird how Pep goes through his weird little stages of being adamant on refusing to start better players

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He has been rubbish this season imo.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Better than Sterling!

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Oops I mean better than Grealish

  13. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Cancelo to Doherty went well, would get him back after next gw at least

    Hey you CHE fans or anyone else with knowledge...is Azpi likely to start vs LOSC on Wed? Surely he will be over his stomach cramps by then?
