Crystal Palace face Liverpool at Selhurst Park on Sunday (8th November, 14:00 GMT).
This season, we have teamed up with Fantasy Football Scout to help bring you hints, tips and advice during the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season.
Scout will be using their expertise to provide advice and gameweek tips which should prove useful in ensuring you win your mini-leagues.
Remember that the Gameweek 10 deadline is at 18:30 GMT on Friday (6th November) – so make sure you have made your changes ahead of time!
Adam Wharton (£5.4m) was the highest-scoring Eagles player in FPL in Gameweek 9 at Tottenham. He earned two Defensive Contribution points alongside two appearance points for the match against Spurs, giving him a total of four points.
Two Defensive Contribution points are awarded to midfielders in FPL when they hit the threshold of 12 defensive actions (clearances, blocks, interceptions, tackles won and ball recoveries) in a single game.
Defenders are also awarded two points for completing these actions but only need to make 10 as they are not rewarded for ball recoveries as one of their metrics.
Continuing this theme, defenders Axel Disasi (£4.4m), Chris Richards (£4.9m), Jaydee Canvot (£4.8m) and Tyrick Mitchell (£4.5m) all scored three points by gaining Defensive Contribution points alongside their appearance points for each playing the full 90.
They completed 14, 15, 14 and 14 defensive actions respectively. Richards has now registered 14 Defensive Contribution points this season which is more than any other defender in the game.
Dean Henderson (£4.9) was back in goal on Saturday evening at Spurs. The goalkeeper made seven saves, resulting in two additional save points as goalkeepers earning an extra point for every three saves they make in FPL.
Forming the backbone of an Eagles defence which kept 12 clean sheets in the league in 2025/26 season, Henderson finished that season with the sixth-most points amongst ‘keepers in FPL, tallying 131 points in total.
On his way to this number, Henderson made 106 saves, preventing 26 big chances from opposition players finding the net, which was third-best in the league, only missing out on top spot for this metric by two saves.
The Englishman earned himself save points on 20 occasions in the previous campaign, with his highest number of saves in a match being the nine he made against former club Manchester United in Gameweek 28.
This term, Palace’s No. 1 has carried on where he left off, earning save points in every league game to date. If he and his Eagles colleagues can resume the successful shutouts in the league again, Henderson will have a big part to play and FPL returns will surely follow.
Jan-Paul van Hecke (£5.0m) was the top-scoring player in Gameweek 9 with 15 points. Hull City’s Oliver McBurnie (£5.5m) scored 12 points thanks to a goal, an assist, and three bonus points against Ipswich Town.
Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen (£4.6m) was benched by 1.6million managers for his Gameweek 9 fixture away at Man City. Those managers regretted that decision as the goalkeeper scored 11 points consisting of two appearance points, four clean sheet points and the maximum three bonus points.
Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) also scored 11 points thanks to an assist, a clean sheet and two bonus points versus Manchester United.
Crystal Palace take on Liverpool in Gameweek 10.
Their leading scorer in FPL is forward Alexander Isak (£9.2m) with 53 points. So far, he’s scored six goals, been awarded 14 bonus points and registered one double-digit haul.
As we approach another international break, it’s a great opportunity to use the pause in the fixtures to revisit your strategy for the coming weeks.
If you still have chips left to play for the first half of the season, when will you play them? Which players do you trust to avoid rotation over the festive period? And will you bank some transfers to make a larger number of future moves? All those kinds of things are worth considering while you have the time. If you have your Wildcard chip remaining playing it over the international break could be the perfect opportunity to target fixture swings, manage out of form players as well as any injuries or flagged players in your squad.
