Triple up on Crystal Palace? The FPL talking point

Is it time to combine your fantasy Premier League team with Eagles assets since Oliver Glasner’s FA Cup-winning Crystal Palace are a force to reckon with?

Although Palace is 10th in the Premier League, a favorable schedule of games will be played in November.

Before visiting Wolves and Manchester United, they play Brentford and Brighton.

Is there a chance the Eagles manager will need to switch teams now that Glasner’s side is competing in the Conference League this year and has reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after beating Liverpool on Wednesday?

Triple Palace is a case of “excellent value for money.”

FPL Heisenberg: Crystal Palace have excelled under Glasner, and this is the right time to invest. In their next four games, they will travel home three times, and they won’t face a top-six team in any of their six gameweeks.

My top three picks for the Crystal Palace assets are Daniel Munoz, Ismaila Sarr, and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who are all excellent value for money.

No defenseman has contributed more goals to Munoz’s last two seasons, which makes him incredibly attacking. In nine games so far this season, he has one goal and three assists.

He scores those points in three of his nine games this season, which is impressive for an attacking wing-back.

Sarr, a midfielder with a brace at Anfield this week, shows his potential. With three goals and one assist in seven starts, he has also had a solid league start.

I’m backing him to improve on these numbers now that the fixtures are getting better.

The case against the accumulating items

FPL Heisenberg: Despite all the competitions they are competing in, Crystal Palace will struggle to keep their squad balanced. They will also compete in both domestic cup competitions because they are still in Europe.

Overall, it’s still worthwhile to choose the triple, with their main men unlikely to miss any Premier League games, Munoz, Sarr, and Mateta.

Statman Dave: Because there is no rotation at the moment, my only concern with Crystal Palace is the Conference League and these cup competitions. On Thursday and the weekend, Oliver Glasner will play his first XI, which will be followed by his final XI.

The wing backs and central midfielders, who play twice a week, are very energetic, which is a bit of a problem.
