Odsonne Edouard - Awaiting hamstring scan Edouard has yet to be assessed after suffering a hamstring issue against Fulham on Saturday, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "We haven't had a chance to assess it yet but he defi...

Impact It's unknown why Edouard hasn't been assessed yet unless he has some swelling, which would be a bad sign for this injury. He won't play in the midweek Cup match and Hodgson figures to have a firm timeline for the striker in his next press conference. At this point, it's unlikely Edouard will start Saturday, with Jean-Philippe Mateta expected to take on the starting role.

Eberechi Eze - Active display versus Fulham Eze had three shots (one on target), created three chances and sent in six crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Eze was Palace's biggest threat, showing his flair and skill on the ball, creating a lot for teammates and finishing several plays himself. Despite having just one goal and no assists so far in six outings, the attacker is still being a positive fantasy contributor, putting up nice stat lines game after game.

Marc Guehi - Logs six clearances versus Fulham Guehi made one tackle and six clearances while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Guehi returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous game and was a key part of a Crystal Palace defense that shut the opposition down, pacing all players in clearances and not showing any signs of rust. Alongside Joachim Andersen, the center-back makes a very competent partnership at the heart of the defense and the team will need both to be at their best during next Saturday's visit to Manchester United.

Joachim Andersen - Puts up another solid performance Andersen had one off-target shot, made one tackle and four clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Andersen was a solid presence for Palace as he helped his team keep a clean sheet and was composed on the ball. His stat line wasn't as brilliant as it's used to be but the center-back's fantasy floor still leads to decent numbers. With 22 clearances over his last four starts, Andersen will probably have his hands full during next Saturday's visit to Manchester United.

Sam Johnstone - Keeps clean sheet versus Fulham Johnstone made five saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Fulham.

Impact Johnstone was the star of the show for Palace as he denied Fulham any chance of scoring with several fine saves, including a brilliant one to stop a shot from Andreas Pereira in the first half. This was the second clean sheet of the campaign for the goalkeeper, who will need to be at his best during next Saturday's visit to Manchester United.

Odsonne Edouard - Potential hamstring issue Edouard is a doubt for Tuesday's clash with Manchester United due to a hamstring issue, manager Roy Hodgson told reporters. "In defence, we have options, which is good, but when yo...

Impact Edouard has seen major minutes in the opening stages of the Premier League and Crystal Palace are struggling with a thin squad. With that in mind Edouard will likely be rested for Jean Philippe Mateta on Tuesday even if the hamstring injury proves to be minor.

Jordan Ayew - In XI to face Fulham Ayew (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Fulham.

Impact Ayew had already resumed training despite suffering a dead leg, and he seemed to be fit enough to retain his place in the XI. The veteran has started in all six games for Palace this season and provided two assists.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Guehi - Starting against Fulham Guehi (hip) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Fulham.

Impact Guehi had already returned to training with no problems earlier this week, so his presence in the starting lineup isn't surprising. The defender will play alongside Joachim Andersen at center-back, sending Chris Richards to a bench role.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jefferson Lerma - Sidelined Saturday Lerma (hamstring) is out for Saturday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "Shorter-term, the players we have out are James Tomkins, Jefferson Lerma and Naouirou...

Impact Lerma is set to be sidelined for Saturday's match due to an ongoing hamstring issue. Still the injury was deemed short term meaning Lerma could be an option potentially as soon as a Sept. 30 trip to Manchester United.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James Tomkins - Remains out Tomkins (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "Shorter-term, the players we have out are James Tomkins, Jefferson Lerma and Naoui...

Impact Tomkins is set for another match on the sideline but his injury isn't considered long-term. The defender will hope to recover from the injury during the additional week he has before a Sept. 30 clash with Manchester United.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Naouirou Ahamada - Picks up ankle issue Ahamada is out for Saturday's clash with Fulham due to an ankle injury, manager Roy Hodgson announced. "Ahamada, who has sprained his ankle. It was a freak one during training, whe...

Impact Ahamada can't catch a break since making the switch to London. The midfielder suffered the injury with nobody around him in training and could be set for a period on the sideline. His next chance to return will be a Sept. 30 trip to Manchester United if the ankle sprain is deemed minor.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Ayew - Training ahead of Fulham match Ayew (undisclosed) returned to training ahead of Saturday's match against Fulham, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Ayew came off in the first half last match, but it was believed to be minor at the time it happened and there's a chance he remains in the starting XI Saturday. Hodgson also could mix things up and give Jean-Philippe Mateta his first league start of the season, as he and Odsonne Edouard have played well together in limited minutes.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Guehi - Back in first-team training Guehi (hip) returned to training this week and is expected to be an option Saturday against Fulham, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact It's a positive update on Guehi, who wasn't expected to have suffered a severe injury over the break. His likely return to the starting XI means a return to the bench for Chris Richards. Guehi had missed just three matches the prior two seasons and is expected to keep that going in the current season despite already missing a match.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Olise - Suffers hamstring setback Olise suffered a setback in his recovery from his hamstring injury, reports The Athletic.

Impact Olise had been ramping up his training in recent weeks and unfortunately he pushed it a little too much. Hamstrings are fickle things and even if Olise was feeling well enough that he could push it a little more, he clearly went too far. This likely adds another couple weeks to his return and there's no reason not to expect him before the October international break.

How Crystal Palace almost escaped the weekend when everything went wrong Missing their manager and several key players, it would have been easy to cave at Villa - instead, Palace's spirit gave real encouragement

Eberechi Eze - Active in loss Eze registered four shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 17t...

Impact Eze didn't have his best match but also didn't have his worst, registering four shots, three crosses and one tackle in his 90 minutes of play. The English strikers role at the club this season is clearly being the main playmaker but he has only been able to register one goal contribution in his 450 minutes of play thus far. He has already started all five matches this season and should remain in that role pretty much every game this season.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Notches another assist Mateta assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Aston Villa.

Impact Mateta had another great game despite starting as a substitute, assisting on Odsonne Edouard's goal to open up the scoring while also contributing one chance created, one cross and a tackle. He has now assisted in consecutive games and has three on the season. The 26-year-old has only appeared in three matches this season after missing the opening two games and has only been used as a substitute in all three matches. He could break that pattern soon and earn a start after posting this type of production in his last couple of matches.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Odsonne Edouard - Scores in consecutive matches Edouard scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Impact Edouard opened up the scoring in Saturday's match after finding the back of the net in the 47th minute. The forward has been excellent this season, netting four goals in five matches and now scoring in consecutive matches for the first time this year. He has started all five games this season and seems to still be in great form despite the two-week layover due to the international break.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Johnstone - Rough day in net Johnstone recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa.

Impact Johnstone held a clean sheet in Saturday's match going into the 87th minute but failed to hold that clean sheet after Aston Villa poured on three goals in the final minutes of the match. He was unlucky on the second goal, as he had to face a shot from the spot after a penalty was called. The goalie has struggled since registering a clean sheet in the first match of the season, allowing seven goals and only six saves in the four games to follow. He could rebound and ultimately earn a clean sheet in his next match when Palace takes on Fulham.
