Crystal Palace’s convincing victory over Nottingham Forest has given Fantasy Premier League managers several Eagles-related decisions to consider before Gameweek 7, with Brighton & Hove Albion next on the schedule at The Amex.
Yéremy Pino (£5.5m) led Palace’s Gameweek 6 points haul after scoring in the 3-1 win and collecting all three bonus points, finishing on nine. Daichi Kamada (£5.0m) and Jefferson Lerma (£4.8m) were just one point behind him. Kamada scored his first league goal of the season, while Lerma also opened his campaign with a goal and added two Defensive Contribution points after recording 12 qualifying defensive actions.
Adam Wharton (£5.4m) and Quinten Timber (£5.0m) each returned seven points after providing an assist. Wharton claimed two bonus points, while Timber earned two additional points for his defensive contribution. The scoring display underlines the range of Palace midfield options available to FPL managers.
Strand Larsen is another player attracting attention. He has collected 15 points across Gameweeks 4 to 6, with only Kamada scoring more for Palace during that period. The Norwegian has one goal and one assist this season, while his 1.93 expected goal involvement is the highest among Palace players. He has taken nine shots, level with Anan Khalaili (£5.0m), and leads the squad for shots on target with six. With ownership listed at just 0.7 per cent, he could provide a differential for managers willing to take the risk.
Brighton’s leading FPL scorers this season are Maxim De Cuyper (£5.1m) and Pascal Groß (£6.0m), who have 13 goal involvements between them. The Gameweek 7 deadline is 11:00 BST on Saturday, 17 October, and managers with a strong squad after using their Wildcard may also want to consider the Bench Boost chip. Chips renew after the Gameweek 19 deadline, giving managers an opportunity to use Bench Boost during the first half of the season if their squad is well placed.
Season Ticket+ Holders and Gold Members can also join Palace’s official 2026/27 FPL mini-league, which offers monthly and seasonal prizes.
