The Tottenham Hotspur star has a prolific record against the Eagles, recording double-figure hauls in three of his last four home meetings with them.

Son's home form this season suggests that run against Palace can continue. All four of his 10+ points hauls have come at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The South Korean is enjoying his most consistent form of the campaign, scoring in each of Spurs’ last three Premier League matches.

He is named as vice-captain in a Scout Selection that lines up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) handed the armband.

David De Gea (MUN) £5.1m

Manchester United’s goalkeeper has amassed 16 points in his two matches under Ralf Rangnick. De Gea has combined two clean sheets with three bonus points and one save point.

Joao Cancelo (MCI) £6.8m

The Portuguese hosts Leicester City following his season-high haul of 18 points against Newcastle United. Cancelo has been Manchester City’s most explosive player in Fantasy this season, delivering five double-figure returns. 

Reece James (CHE) £6.3m

Four goals, five assists and five clean sheets showcase the Chelsea wing-back’s potential at both ends of the pitch against Aston Villa. James has recorded hauls of 12, 18 and 21 points on the road this season.

Sergio Reguilon (TOT) £5.2m

The Spaniard was a big success in defence and attack in his first three matches under new head coach Antonio Conte before sustaining an injury. Reguilon combined a goal and an assist with two clean sheets, collecting 26 points. 

Son Heung-min (TOT) £10.3m

Son has been involved in 62 per cent of Spurs’ home goals when selected this season.

Riyad Mahrez (MCI) £8.6m

The Algerian has produced a goal, an assist and a double-figure haul in each of his last two appearances. Owned by fewer than three per cent of managers, Mahrez could be a hugely impactful differential at home to his former club Leicester. 

Marcus Rashford (MUN) £9.4m

Listed as a midfielder in Fantasy, the England star has played up front in each of Man Utd’s first two matches under Ralf Rangnick. Rashford has picked up 27 points in his last two meetings with Newcastle.

Bernardo Silva (MCI) £7.6m

The Man City playmaker scored and earned 10 points against Leicester in Gameweek 4. Bernardo has been involved in more goals than any team-mate this term, scoring seven and assisting a further three.

Gabriel Martinelli (ARS) £5.3m

The Brazilian is the most-bought player in the Gameweek, earning over 310,000 new owners. Martinelli visits Norwich City on the back of two goals and 15 points against Leeds United last weekend. 

Cristiano Ronaldo (MUN) £12.5m

The Man Utd forward faces a Newcastle side who have conceded at least three goals in each of their last three matches. Ronaldo is among the key captain picks in a Gameweek where Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) is without a fixture.

Armando Broja (SOU) £5.1m

The Southampton forward has scored in four of his six starts, averaging 6.7 points per match in those encounters. Broja faces a West Ham United side who could be without three of their first-choice back four due to injury.
