Wednesday team news: Debut for teenage Palace goalkeeper

Double Gameweek 27 comes to a conclusion this evening as Brighton and Hove Albion entertain Crystal Palace and Southampton face Brentford.

Kick-off in both matches is at 19:30 GMT.

Virtually all of the Fantasy focus will be on Brighton in the M23 derby but the headline-grabbing team news comes from the visitors, who are without a recognised senior goalkeeper tonight.

Vicente Guaita has picked up a late injury so, with Sam Johnstone already sidelined, it’s 19-year-old youth product and debutant Joe Whitworth who will be between the posts at the Amex.

In Patrick Vieira’s two other changes, Cheick Doucoure returns from suspension to replace Luka Milivojevic in midfield and Odsonne Edouard starts up front in place of Jordan Ayew.

Brighton make two changes to the side that began the 2-2 draw at Leeds on Saturday, with Danny Welbeck and Levi Colwill coming in for the benched Adam Webster and Evan Ferguson.

In the other game, Southampton recall Mohamed Elyounoussi and Ibrahima Diallo at the expense of Romeo Lavia and Theo Walcott.

Brentford’s only change sees Mikkel Damsgaard drop to the bench and Kevin Schade given his first start since his January move.

      There's a reasonable chance he'll collect another Yellow across his next three games.

      Hold for GW28 and make your call before DGW29.

      His fixtures in DGW29 aren't that great anyway so I'll probably transfer him out then.

      He's a decent shout, especially Whislt Silva out (although if we play 3 ATB he still starts).

      Our defence is a bit ropey, but he does at least have some arieal threat going for him. He's quite strong in the air. Had a few headers on target/in the back of the net already.

    Kepa
    Schar Trippier Zinchenko Henry
    Saka Odegaard Rashford**
    Kane Toney Haaland**

    Raya Mitomo** Estu** March**

    A) GW28 Haaland to Watkins + play 10 GW29 Odegaard + Zinchenko to Bruno + Shaw so 13 DGW players GW30 Toney to Haaland
    B) GW28 Play 9 avoid transfer then GW29 Odegaard + Zinchenko to Bruno + Shaw so 13 DGW players
    C) GW28 Estu to Chillwell 10 players GW29 Odegaard + Zinchenko to Bruno + Shaw so 13 DGW players

    Really interesting week in many ways. Didn't punish any group in particular.

    Didn't matter which Brighton mid you got, they all did well.

    Didn't get multiple Brighton mids? That's okay, they didn't go crazy.

    Captained Toney instead of a Brighton mid? Basically the same score.

    Brighton and Brentford both kept clean sheets, so didn't matter who you backed.

      I'm not sure why Estupiñán is such a priority sell for loads.

      Last 10 matches:
      7, 1, 6, 8, 7, 6, 9, 6, 2, 0
      (Bonus on 4/10)

      Sure Brentford have 1 extra game this next GW but have the been that convincing at the back really?

      30-32 is a bit iffy for Estu but you can bench him if you've just WC'd. Surely...

      I'd rather move on a Brentford defender.

            I have been set up with Brighton and Brentford early since before FH25 which enabled me to have pretty much the same squad as all those who have been using their WC. You're saying it's worth others having to use a FH just to keep Estupiñán instead of Mee?

              It sounds like you are answering the question for your specific situation.

              Which is fine. I'm just arguing there's nothing wrong with Estupiñán's returns when he does play.

              Aks yourself how many CSs is Mee likely to keep too.

              There's no right/wrong answer - just playing devil's advocate in not selling a player who has been doing great.

                It seems you are incapable of seeing any reasons given in answer to your question "I'm not sure why Estupiñán is such a priority sell for loads." I made three points. You ignored the first two then asked me if I had a FH - to which I gave you a specific answer.

          I'd base the decision on how much risk you need to take to get a haul (double-digit points) to catch a ML leader.
          Chilwell is the safer option for 6 pts at home to Everton. While he scored last week, you can't count on him doing it again. But a good chance of 6pts.
          Maddison is more likely to get 10+ pts than Chilwell but also get 2.

    Who are the key MID players for GW28, excluding arsenal?

    - Maddison?
    - Almiron?
    - Who else?

    I have a Mahrez shaped hole to fill which will ultimately end up as March/MacAllister for DGW

    Hmm, Steele at 3.9m with more DGWs ahead looks pretty interesting

      Surely Estu, Mac and Mit pay off more than GK though, despite his price.

      -Plays in 28
      -Double in 29
      -On set piece
      -Directly involved in 4 of Chelsea's 6 goals in the wing-back system already
      -4 of the next 5 fixtures are at home - where Chelsea's underlying defensive data is strong
