With no matches this week, it's the perfect time for Fantasy Premier League players to take a step back, reassess – and tweak their teams!
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 11 deadline is after the international window – falling at 11:00 GMT on Saturday (21st November) – so be patient with those transfers!
When looking to invest in players in FPL, the underlying data can give good insight into the players who are about to start returning points in FPL or who are already looking like great buys.
Daichi Kamada (£5.0m) is Palace’s top FPL points scoring asset. The midfielder has registered 36 points this season. Kamada’s points have come from a goal and three assists as well as a clean sheet point, two Defensive Contribution points and a bonus point.
All outfield players can register two Defensive Contribution points each match. For defenders they need to register 10 or more defensive actions – clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles won. For midfielders and forwards, they need to complete 12 or more defensive actions – clearances, blocks, interceptions, tackles won and ball recoveries.
Chris Richards (£4.9m) is top across the entire game for Defensive Contribution points this season, having returned 14 so far. He was also unlucky not to register the points in the Gameweek 3 victory over Fulham where the defender completed nine defensive actions, just one short of the threshold.
Axel Disasi (£4.4m) has also performed well for Defensive Contribution points with eight so far and Jaydee Canvot (£4.8m) has returned six. A further seven Palace players have also registered Defensive Contribution points this season.
Yéremy Pino (£5.5m) is top for shots in the Palace team this season with 15. Of those, seven have come from inside the box and three have been OPTA-defined 'big chances'.
Pino also leads the way for crosses in the Palace team with 36, as well as for successful crosses, chances created and big chances created. The midfielder’s potential for goal involvement both through chances created and shots means that he is also top of the expected goal involvements (xGI) charts for Palace.
Adam Wharton (£5.3m) leads the way for expected assist (xA) at Palace this season. Wharton has created 13 chances for his Palace teammates and of those four have been classified as OPTA 'big chances'.
Wharton has registered one assist so far this season – however, the data suggests more could be on the way after the international break.
Walt Sins leads the Premier League's official Crystal Palace mini league, after registering 789 points in the current season.
As well as sitting first in the Palace league, he is also 15th in the world. Walt has used all of his first set of chips, playing the Bench Boost in Gameweek 1, the Triple Captain in Gameweek 3, the Wildcard in Gameweek 4 and the Free Hit in Gameweek 5.
Jo Payne sits second in the Eagles' league with 761 points, 28 points behind the leader Walt. Like Walt, Jo also played the Bench Boost in Gameweek 1. Jo also used the Wildcard in Gameweek 3 and the Triple Captain in Gameweek 7, but they still have their Free Hit to play. Jo is placed 500th in the world after the opening 10 Gameweeks of the season.
Omar Al Othmany sits third in the Palace league having only registered one red arrow all season! Omar, like Walt has also played all four chips. The Bench Boost in Gameweek 1, Free Hit in Gameweek 3, Wildcard in Gameweek 4 and the Triple Captain in Gameweek 7. Omar is three points behind Jo on 758 for the season and currently sits 637th in the world.
