Crystal Palace crush Liverpool: Sarr returns from injury and scores.
Sarr's Return
According to The Sun: Ismaïla Sarr (£4.3m) dazzled with his return to the pitch after nearly a month-long absence. On Saturday, he started for Crystal Palace again and quickly scored a goal in the match against league leaders, Liverpool.
Dream TeamSarr played 75 minutes in the Eagles' impressive 2-1 victory over Arne Slot's team and earned 10 points for his efforts.
The Senegalese international will get a chance to increase his tally in Gameweek if selected for the match against Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League on Thursday evening.
High Efficiency in Play
Sarr's return is a good signal for Dream Team managers, as it's hard to deny that he is currently one of the best options in midfield. He scored three goals in four matches this season, with an average of 7.5 points per game. Only two players in his position can boast better stats (minimum three appearances): Daïdaon Anthony (£3.4m) and Diego Gomez (£3.1m).
GettyThe 27-year-old Sarr also showcased good form last season, but he was often overshadowed by Eberechi Eze (£5.2m). Now that the Englishman has moved to Arsenal, Sarr is undoubtedly in the spotlight among Crystal Palace midfielders for managers.
Why not?
The well-organized South London team has not lost in 18 matches across all competitions and currently sits third in the Premier League table. In light of several favorable matches in the Conference League before the Christmas holidays, Dream Team managers can expect significant points from Crystal Palace assets in the coming weeks.
Players like Dean Henderson (£3.7m), Marc Guéhi (£4.6m), and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£4.6m) are already drawing attention, but currently, Sarr's ownership stands at just 2%. This is due to his recent injury, but attentive managers could gain considerable benefits if they sign him before others notice.
Upcoming Matches and Chances
Glassner's team is preparing to play against Everton in Gameweek 7, followed by three consecutive double Gameweeks after the international break. Crystal Palace will face Bournemouth, AEK Larnaca, Arsenal, Liverpool, Brentford, and AZ Alkmaar in just 19 days. More matches usually mean more points, presenting a real challenge for the team.
While it may not be entirely realistic to expect Sarr to maintain his level of 7.5 points per game, he certainly has every chance of significant returns.
