Crystal Palace have three low-owned Fantasy Premier League options worth considering before Gameweek 6, with Chris Richards, Yéremy Pino and Ismaïla Sarr all identified as potential differentials. In FPL terms, differentials are players owned by fewer than 10% of managers and can help teams gain ground in mini-leagues.
Richards is Palace’s equal-fourth-highest scorer this season with 14 points, despite being selected by only 0.6% of FPL managers. The defender recorded 11 clean sheets and 128 points last season, while also scoring once and collecting five bonus points. He has continued to earn defensive contribution points in 60% of his appearances this campaign, and his goal for the United States during the international break could further increase interest.
Pino has also collected 14 points and is Palace’s second-highest-scoring midfielder in FPL. The Spaniard has registered two assists, putting him equal-second among Palace players for goal involvements. His ownership stands at just 0.3%, while his six shots and nine touches in the opposition box underline his attacking involvement.
Palace’s No. 10 has created five chances, including three classified as big chances, placing him joint-top for that statistic within the squad. He also leads the team for successful passes into the box, with eight, and is averaging a shot every 51.17 minutes.
Sarr made his first league appearance and earned his first FPL points of the season in Gameweek 5 after returning from injury. His ownership is currently 0.6%. Across 24 starts last season, the midfielder scored 117 FPL points, making him Palace’s top-scoring midfielder in both FPL and the league. He scored nine goals, supplied two assists, produced two double-digit hauls and collected bonus points in four matches.
The 28-year-old ranked first among Palace midfielders last season for shots, efforts inside the box, shots on target, touches in the opposition area and big chances. He recorded 48 shots, including 40 inside the box and 21 on target, alongside 99 touches in the opposition box and 19 big chances.
FPL managers have until 11:00 BST on Saturday 10 October to finalise their Gameweek 6 teams. Palace Season Ticket+ Holders and Gold Members can also enter the club’s 2026/27 official FPL mini-league, which offers monthly and seasonal prizes.
