Crystal Palace's 22/23 FPL Season Review

First-team

6 Jun 2023

With the dust settling on the 22/23 Premier League campaign, we take a look back at some of the Palace stars who lit up the virtual world of football in Fantasy Premier League.

Top points scorers

Ebere Eze - 159 (17th overall)
Michael Olise - 132 (47th overall)
Jordan Ayew - 104
Vicente Guaita - 99
Marc Guéhi & Wilfried Zaha - 95

At the top of the points table is Ebere Eze. The midfielder tallied an impressive 159 points in 22/23 to become Palace’s top scorer, with 10 goals and five FPL assists.

He comes in at 17th place overall with his points tally, ahead of the likes of Miguel Almirón and Heung-Min Son.

Eze also had a knack for picking up bonus points, with 21 to his name - the highest for Palace and 10th highest overall, level with Marcus Rashford and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Not far behind Eze in terms of overall points was Michael Olise. The 21-year-old midfielder accumulated 132 points, with 2 goals and 11 FPL assists.

His tally sees him rank 47th overall, level with Brentford’s Mathias Jensen and Manchester City captain İlkay Gündoğan. He also earned 15 bonus points, the second-highest in red and blue.

The third and final player to rack up over 100 points for the Eagles is Jordan Ayew. The Ghanaian is classed as a midfielder in FPL, and managed four goals and three assists.

Rather fittingly, both Ayew and Eze were ever-present in this season as they managed to rack up the points.

While the attacking players grabbed the headlines, goalkeeper Vicente Guaita came agonisingly close to earning 100 points. The Spanish shot-stopper fell just short with 99 points, registering six clean sheets, 85 saves and 10 bonus points.

Fellow defensive partner Marc Guéhi also fell just short of the 100 points mark, with 95 to his name. Guéhi finished level on points with Wilfried Zaha.

Rewatch Sam Johnstone's Saves against Leeds

Player of the Week is the highest scoring player in that specific Gameweek's set of fixtures. If the players earn the same amount of points, the player who has the lower price wins the award.

Eze managed four appearances in the Team of the Week - the most out of any Palace player. He was closely followed by his fellow England teammate Sam Johnstone, Olise and Ayew.

Defenders Joel Ward, James Tomkins and Tyrick Mitchell, along with Vicente Guaita, all earned a Team of the Week spot once.

Overall, it’s been a strong season in FPL for Palace’s players, who are priced relatively competitively between £4.5-£7m. The Eagles’ options may prove to be decisive differentials in the season ahead. All the latest info regarding the 23/24 FPL game will be announced in due course.
