Crystal Palace has shown a significant improvement when Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are both fit and playing together. The duo’s partnership causes significant problems for opposing defenders. This was evident in their recent match against West Ham, where Palace secured a 5-2 victory. Eze and Olise both registered a goal and an assist each, contributing to a swashbuckling attacking display.
While the midfielders received much praise for their performance, it was striker Jean-Philippe Mateta who reaped the most benefits. Mateta scored two goals and provided an assist, earning a total of 17 points in the game. This made him Gameweek 32’s top performer, with Eze and Olise also featuring among the top performers.
Unfortunately, injuries have limited Eze and Olise’s appearances this season. However, their statistics when available speak for themselves. Olise averages an impressive 8.7 points per game, which is only surpassed by Erling Haaland. In just 14 appearances, Olise has accumulated 122 points through seven goals, four assists, and 28 bonus points. Eze, on the other hand, has played more frequently but still benefits from playing alongside Olise. He has eight goals, six assists, and 41 bonus points to his name.
Mateta has had his best season in a Palace shirt, scoring 12 goals so far compared to just two last season. He has been Dream Team’s most in-form forward recently and shows no signs of slowing down.
Looking ahead, Palace’s remaining fixtures include matches against Fulham, Manchester United, Wolves, and Aston Villa. Many Dream Team managers will be interested to see where Eze and Olise will end up next season. Even if they stay at Palace, they are likely to be popular selections from the start.
In conclusion, Crystal Palace’s attacking prowess is greatly enhanced when Eze and Olise are both fit and playing together. Their partnership, along with Mateta’s goal-scoring form, has proven to be a winning formula for the team. With upcoming fixtures and the potential for Eze and Olise to shine next season, they are certainly players to watch out for in fantasy football.
