Crystal Palace begins its European campaign: what to consider ahead of the match against Dynamo.

According to The Sun: GAMEWEEK 6 is already on the horizon, so we've highlighted five important topics that Dream Team managers should pay close attention to.

These issues will significantly impact the league table in the coming days.

Euro Eagles

Crystal Palace actively begins its campaign in the Conference League, competing against Dynamo Kyiv next Thursday.

Oliver Glasner's team defeated Fredrikstad in the playoffs, allowing them to qualify for the group stage. Although these matches did not affect Dream Team's display today, it is worth noting their importance.

Since the establishment of the Conference League, matches in this tournament have become a reliable source of points, providing hope for similar results in the future.

Marc Guéhi (£4.3m), Chris Richards (£4.1m), and Daniel Muñoz (£5.7m) are already among the top ten defenders, alongside Tyrick Mitchell (£4.5m) and Maxence Lacroix (£4m).

Considering the additional European matches, a strategy focused on defense from Crystal Palace may prove successful.

But before the clash with Dynamo, the 'Eagles' still need to tackle a challenging task — a Premier League match against Liverpool.

All or Nothing?

This weekend, the focus is on Erling Haaland (£7.7m).

He is expected to deliver a lot in the match between Manchester City and Burnley at the Etihad, having already scored seven goals and earned 67 points over the first five game weeks.

However, Pep Guardiola noted a slight back injury for his star forward.

If Haaland doesn't step onto the field against Burnley, it would be a big surprise, but even the slightest doubt will cause many managers to worry.

If you are among the 51% of managers who have Haaland, you probably planned to give him the captain's armband, as City also plays against Monaco midweek.

This still seems to be the best option, but the question of his availability complicates the situation.

A clear update on Friday would be very helpful, Pep...

Chelsea's Arrow

What's happening at Stamford Bridge?

Kole Palmer (£5.8m) is raising serious concerns after being substituted in the 20th minute of the match at Old Trafford last weekend. Attention should also be paid to some restrictions with Moisés Caicedo (£4.7m).

Currently, João Pedro (£4.9m) is also a problematic player, as Enzo Maresca confirmed the Brazilian has been feeling discomfort since the beginning of September.

The former Brighton player is likely to play against his former club this weekend, having missed the Carabao Cup, but remains the most transferred player before Gameweek 6.

However, Pedro is still fourth among the most popular players in the game, with an impressive ownership level of 38.2%.

If something happens, many managers will be left disappointed.

Chelsea will face Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Shared Responsibilities

Were you disappointed when Hugo Ekitike (£5m) thoughtlessly took off his shirt in joy after scoring against Southampton, receiving a warning earlier?

The Frenchman is the fourth most popular forward in the game, so many Dream Team managers will have to make a serious decision ahead of Gameweek 6, as the 23-year-old will miss the match against Liverpool at Selhurst Park.

Alexander Isak (£6.3m) is likely to start on Saturday before Ekitike returns to the field against Galatasaray in the midweek.

The variety of attacking options for Liverpool is a luxury for Arne Slot but a puzzle for managers.

Both players, Ekitike and Isak, could become key assets as guaranteed starters, but their value decreases when they share playing time, making Gameweek 6 an interesting case.

Half-Time Change

The next round will be a serious test for Jack Grealish (£3.8m).

On loan at Everton, he has achieved good numbers, scoring 42 points solely from four assists.

His popularity has risen to 41.3% — only Haaland and Mohamed Salah (£7.3m) have higher numbers at this moment!

Everton will play against West Ham on Monday, which looks promising given the recent form of the 'Hammers.'

But while his rivals will be increasing their points in European matches, Grealish will be watching it all from the comfort of his sofa.

The English midfielder still looks like a good option, but over time it will become harder for him to control rotation.

It is quite likely that he will lose positions in the rankings in the coming weeks, although it is not uncommon for players to maintain high performance without European duties — examples can be Brian Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha from recent seasons.

Whether you own Grealish or not, Gameweek 6 will be a learning experience.
