Club

8 Sep 2025

With August behind us and the first international break of the 2025/26 season underway, we’re three Gameweeks into the new Fantasy Premier League (FPL) campaign and some Palace players have been stand outs so far.

Top Scorer - Marc Guéhi

Marc Guéhi has made an impressive start to the 2025/26 campaign - both on the pitch and in Fantasy Premier League. Unsurprisingly, the Premier League Player of the Month nominee currently leads all Palace players in FPL points.

The Eagles skipper has racked up 23 points so far. His standout performance came in the commanding 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park, where he earned a season-high 15 points.

Guéhi not only helped secure a clean sheet but also produced a moment of brilliance - collecting the ball just inside the penalty area and curling a superb finish into the far corner to double Oliver Glasner’s sides lead.

He also picked up six points in the opening day goalless draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, followed by two more in the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. Across those matches, the England international has earned a total of three bonus points for his contributions at both ends of the pitch.

Among FPL defenders, Guéhi currently ranks fifth overall - just behind Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi (25 Pts), Arsenal duo Jurriën Timber (26 Pts) and Riccardo Calafiori (28 Pts), and Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah (27 Pts), himself a former Palace loanee. Guéhi was named in the FPL team of the season so far.

Eagles’ Back Line Flying High in FPL - Maxence Lacroix, Daniel Muñoz, Tyrick Mitchell

With two clean sheets from their opening three Premier League fixtures and just one goal conceded - the joint-best defensive record in the league alongside Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham - it’s no surprise that Palace’s top Fantasy Premier League scorers are primarily found in defence.

Captain Marc Guéhi leads the way with 23 points, closely followed by Maxence Lacroix, who has impressed with 22 points. Lacroix delivered standout performances in the 3-0 victory at Aston Villa (11 points, including an assist) and the season opener against Chelsea (8 points).

Notably, Lacroix ranks fourth in the league for defensive contributions, tallying 37 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions, and tackles (CBIT). In FPL, defenders earn two points for reaching 10 CBIT in a single match - Lacroix came close multiple times, achieving 13 against Chelsea and nine each versus Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.

Daniel Muñoz has also made a strong start, accumulating 19 points overall. The Colombian international earned 5 points against Nottingham Forest thanks to a timely assist and a solid defensive display on the right flank.

On the left, Tyrick Mitchell has collected 16 points, highlighted by a standout 9-point performance at Stamford Bridge. His all-action display featured five tackles, six clearances, blocks, interceptions, and five ball recoveries.

Rounding out Palace’s defensive standouts are Chris Richards with 16 points and goalkeeper Dean Henderson with 15 points - both integral to a well-organised and resilient back line that has laid the foundation for the Eagles’ strong start to the season.

Sarr Leads the Line in FPL - Ismaïla Sarr

Ismaïla Sarr is Palace’s highest-scoring attacker in Fantasy Premier League so far this season, having accumulated 18 points across the opening three fixtures.

The Senegalese international earned three points in the goalless draw at Stamford Bridge after completing a full 90 minutes.

He opened his account for the campaign with a well-taken side-footed strike from close-range in the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest - a display that saw him pick up eight points, including a bonus.

Sarr maintained his strong start to the season in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa, capping off the performance with a powerful back-post header to seal the result - earning a further seven FPL points ahead of the international break.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is the club’s next highest-scoring forward with eight points, having contributed effectively across the opening fixtures.
