Oliver Glasner (£0.5m) is among a Crystal Palace triple-up named in the Scout Selection for Gameweek 27 of Fantasy Premier League.

The Eagles’ boss delivered a 20-point haul against Fulham last time out, thanks to the table-bonus element of the Assistant Manager chip, which is active for over 1.5million FPL bosses in Gameweek 27.

And Glasner can earn table bonus once again this Gameweek when Palace welcome Aston Villa to Selhurst Park.

Palace duo Dean Henderson (£4.5m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.4m) feature in a 3-4-3 formation, with Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) retaining the armband and Cole Palmer (£11.1m) picked as vice-captain. 

FPL GW27 Scout Selection
Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace) £4.5m

The Palace goalkeeper has stepped up his output recently, producing four of his eight clean sheets this season over the last six Gameweeks. The Eagles host an Aston Villa side who have struggled on their travels, scoring only four goals across their last seven away matches.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) £7.4m

Liverpool’s right-back sits at the top of the defender standings after blanking just ONCE over his last seven outings. One goal, two assists and four clean sheets during that spell highlight Alexander-Arnold’s all-round potential at home to Newcastle United.

Gabriel (Arsenal) £6.3m

The Brazilian has helped Arsenal to back-to-back clean sheets in away matches ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest. Gabriel has also been far more reliable for attacking returns on the road, too – indeed, all three of his goals this season, and his two assists, were recorded in away contests.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham) £4.4m

A home meeting with Leicester City gives the West Ham United full-back the opportunity to extend his improving form. Wan-Bissaka has supplied two assists in six outings under the Hammers’ new head coach Graham Potter, claiming a bumper 12-point return at Arsenal last time out.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) £13.7m

His goal and assist at Manchester City on Sunday took the Egyptian to 285 points for the season - 108 points more than any other player. Salah produced 18 points in his previous outing versus Newcastle and retains the captaincy once again for Gameweek 27.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £11.1m

The Chelsea playmaker’s record at Stamford Bridge suggests he can rival Salah for the armband at home to Southampton on Wednesday evening. Palmer is the second top-scoring player in home matches this season, producing eight goals, four assists and 96 points across his 12 outings.

Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £8.3m

His record against promoted clubs at Old Trafford this season looks encouraging for the Manchester United star's prospects against Ipswich Town. Fernandes amassed 21 points across his last two appearances with such opponents, thanks to a goal, two assists and five bonus points.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) £7.3m

The West Ham talisman has scored and earned 10 points against both Chelsea and Arsenal over the last three Gameweeks. Bowen now faces a Leicester side who have conceded a league-high 32 goals in away matches this season.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) £7.4m

Palace’s forward enters a home encounter with Villa on the back of just ONE blank across his last seven appearances. Mateta has produced seven goals and an assist during that spell, earning 56 points in Fantasy.

Matheus Cunha (Wolves) £6.9m 

The Wolverhampton Wanderers star is the most-bought player in the Gameweek, earning 281,000+ new owners after scoring for the fourth successive match in all competitions last weekend. Cunha was a huge success in his last meeting with his Gameweek 27 opponents Fulham, scoring twice and supplying an assist to collect 17 points. 

Yoane Wissa (Brentford) £6.4m

The Brentford striker boasts strong home form ahead of his encounter with Everton. Wissa has scored eight of his 11 goals this season in such contests, averaging 6.4 points per match. 

Watch out for Blank Gameweek 29, when Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace won't have a Premier League match!
