 🧠 EXCLUSIVE: Q AND A EXCLUSIVE 🧠

Q: Thoughts on taking Crystal Palace players out for hits? 🤔

Palace’s rescheduled game in Gameweek 37 is on Tuesday, three days after they play Manchester City in the FA Cup Final. We obviously expect the Eagles to play a full-strength side at Wembley, and we have no way of knowing before the deadline whether that match will go to extra-time/penalties etc.

It is reasonable to assume that we will see some rotation for their league home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday, irrespective of how the final goes.

Oliver Glasner has managed Jean-Philippe Mateta’s (£7.6m) game-time over the last few weeks, so it would be no surprise to see Eddie Nketiah (£5.9m) start against Wolves. Similarly, Ismaila Sarr (£5.6m) has seen some rotation over the Double Gameweeks earlier in the season, so he could also make way for someone like Justin Devenny (£4.5m).

Eberechi Eze (£7.0m) is a bit trickier. He has been one of the best FPL picks since the international break and it’s always risky benching such an explosive player. Just because of the sheer potential of the player, I would be tempted to keep and start him.

With Daniel Munoz (£5.2m), he is a fitness monster and seems to start every game, irrespective of fixture congestion. With none of the other defensive assets particularly appealing, I would keep and start Munoz. 

So in short, Mateta and Sarr are a sell, in my opinion. That being said, if you are inclined to sell any of them, I wouldn’t put you off – it’s only two weeks to go and anything goes, especially with Liverpool in Gameweek 38. 

Q: Thoughts on Kevin De Bruyne’s chances of a start on Tuesday? It’s his last home game, so you’d think he’s nailed to start. But we have the cup final in the way first – there could be an injury or even 120 minutes of football. It’s tempting to move back to Cole Palmer and captain him versus this Manchester United shambles.

Q. Is it worth moving from Kevin De Bruyne to Cole Palmer with my one free transfer, then Palmer to Bukayo Saka in Gameweek 38? Or should we save two free transfers for Gameweek 38?

Kevin De Bruyne (£9.6m) was benched for Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest and I expect that to be the case again this weekend, with Pep Guardiola showing loyalty to players like Jack Grealish (£6.4m), who have helped the Cityzens reach the final. De Bruyne can come off the bench if needed, for 30-60 minutes. 

While I wouldn’t be comfortable captaining De Bruyne for Gameweek 37, I think starting him is still a good play. However, if you need a captaincy option in Palmer and don’t want to sell Salah, I wouldn’t put you off it. I still think Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) is the top captaincy pick this week, though. 

Also, if you can find an alternative captaincy option, I don’t like the idea of De Bruyne to Palmer this week and the move to Bukayo Saka (£10.3m) the week after. Both De Bruyne and Palmer could score similarly this week and having two free transfers on the final day is always fun. 

Q: Who are the best Jean-Philippe Mateta replacements for people already on triple Aston Villa?

A: I think my top picks in order of preference would be: Yoane Wissa (£6.8m), Chris Wood (£7.2m), Evanilson (£5.8m) and Matheus Cunha (£7.1m). Evanilson would have been in second if not for the matchup against Manchester City this week and I don’t trust Cunha’s gametime as much as I did earlier. Jamie Vardy (£5.3m), if you’re in it for the vibes!
