Re: Crystal Palace
The way I look at it is that RLC's potential is wasted as a first sub so I'd like to give him regular starts now Hodgson also has given him a advanced position in first eleven. I eagerly admit I was strongly suspecting that at the time of Roy's appointment.
Other options on the side of M4 that would grant RLC a regular starting position in a fantasy team are 352 or 451. In both of these the forwards occupying bech carry some extra budget compared to sub 4.5M middlefielders and defenders.

The stats are dark and full of errors.
Re: Crystal Palace
I think he's played on the right of midfield, so whilst a great option as a 4.5 mid (and a huge amount better than a normal 4.5 mid), I don't quite know if he has the numbers to justify a starting slot, especially as he looks more the assister than the goal scorer in his Palace career so far.
As with all things in FPL though it rather depends what you can do with the rest of the money, and I totally get the strategy of playing him if not all the time, then in rotation with the cheaper defenders. A 343/433 hybrid is perfect to pick him in, if it's a 343 then I find myself with money in the bank that feels hard to spend. The question really for me is not is he a good 4.5 mid, but is he a formation busting type of player, and I'm not too sure that he's gonna bring enough points to gain favour over a 6-7m mid in the 4th midfield slot.

Re: Crystal Palace
I'm looking to start RLC most weeks in a 3-5-2, it didn't take the England game to convince me he's a 6.5m value player priced at 4.5m.

Re: Crystal Palace
I think 6.5 might be a bit much but definitely value at 4.5 and if things start going his way he could prove to be a key player given his price. A few post hits or fluke saves have stopped him having any decent returns so far

Re: Crystal Palace
Benteke is now fit according to Hodgson.
He's 0.8 more expensive than Zaha but a decent option for those of us who can't really squeeze in Zaha?

Re: Crystal Palace
I'm assuming he means can downgrade A3 (firmino, vardy etc) to benteke but don't have free cash for say gross to zaha

Re: Crystal Palace
I *think* Sammy means that there are a lot of teams who can’t afford Zaha as their third/fourth mid or simply don’t want him because they have some combo of Sterling/Richarlison/Choupo-Moting/Gross.
Whereas the third striker slot seems to be more fluid.

Re: Crystal Palace
Yes exactly that.
With three 8.0+ midfielders, Gross who I picked up at 5.4 and RLC being an excellent 4.5m enabler I couldn't justify Zaha. Those with Richarlison in M4 will have the same problem.
So Benteke is the easiest way into the Palace attack for their nice run.

Re: Crystal Palace
I have Zaha due to CP's fixtures, but something tells me he won't score good at all...
Benteke might be a good option... or a defender.

Re: Crystal Palace
Has anyone been eyeing CP lately? How has Jeffrey Schlupp been doing? He has a history of being utilized in more advanced positions and lately he has taken van Aanholts spot as a left back. With remotely cheap 4.7M price tag and some attacking promise could here be a way to Eagles' enhanced defence?

Re: Crystal Palace
I am craving some news on Speroni/Hennessey. I currently have 2 FT, not many changes needed other than having Elliot and a price dropping D Silva. Pope is my starting keeper and wanted to get in a cheap second. Both Hennessey and Speroni fit this bill but I have no idea to guess who will play since there is no Hennessey injury update and the fact that Speroni came back for a monster 11 points. Maybe he's won his place back for a few games?
Elliot not in immediate threat of going down but Speroni should go up tonight. Paying for my sins in trying to be cheap rather than just spend a little extra and get Fabianski.
