Everton Vs Crystal Palace FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Everton 2 Crystal Palace 0 — Dewsbury-Hall hauls, Muñoz blanks Hill Dickinson Stadium, 22 August. Dewsbury-Hall scored, played 90 minutes and took all three bonus points. 11 points. He costs £6.5m. About 3 managers in 100 own him. That is the line from this fixture.
Behind him, the returns stacked up. Ndiaye assisted, cleared the defensive contribution line and banked 9 points at £6.0m — he is the one Everton player managers already hold, roughly 1 in 6. Barry scored on 78 minutes for 8 points at £5.5m; about 1 in 100 own him. Armstrong assisted and added defensive contribution points for 8 at £5.0m — ownership is close to zero. Pickford made four saves behind the clean sheet for 7. Tarkowski, Branthwaite and Mykolenko took 6 apiece.
The blank managers came for: Muñoz. £5.5m, owned by about 1 in 10. He played 54 minutes, produced nothing and left with 0 points. No red card, no goal conceded before he went off — but 54 minutes and a blank is what the record shows. Kamada was booked. Guessand and Strand Larsen each played 27 minutes for Palace and returned 1 point.
For Everton, note the substitutes: Alcaraz played 1 minute, Garner 11. Neither collects clean-sheet points at those minutes. The clean sheet paid the men who started.
What the facts say for the deadline. Dewsbury-Hall played every minute, scored, took maximum bonus and sits in almost no squads at £6.5m. Ndiaye returned points through an assist and defensive work — that is two routes to a score, and it repeats more often than goals do. Armstrong is the £5.0m version of the same profile at zero ownership. One match is one match; we do not predict. But a midfielder who plays 90, contributes at both ends and costs £6.5m with 3-in-100 ownership is a buy on the evidence in front of us.
The call: buy Dewsbury-Hall. Ndiaye holders keep him. Muñoz owners hold — one blank on 54 minutes forces nothing.
