Yohan Cabaye, Nine Points
When Cabaye rolled up in south London after hopping across the channel to join Palace from Paris Saint-Germain, many an eyebrow was raised.
The Frenchman had been the target of many bigger clubs throughout his career, and a transfer to Selhurst Park was highly unlikely in wider opinion.
However, the diminutive midfielder has continued to show the consistency and form he harvested at Newcastle United, and he has become a valuable asset for Eagles manager Alan Pardew.
The player grabbed nine fantasy league points for his efforts on Sunday afternoon, including two marks added through the bonus point system, and he will surely now come to the attention of many fantasy league managers as they look to shuffle their options.
Cabaye's performance sees him as one of the better total midfield points scorers of the season so far, above the likes of Arsenal's Mesut Ozil and Arsenal's Theo Walcott.
He is also ranked higher than one of last season's mid-priced recruits, Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson, costing almost a million pounds less than the Liberty Stadium talisman.
Palace are riding a crest of a wave this term, and supporters will be getting used to the winning ways Pardew has installed at the club since his switch from Newcastle.
Signings of the calibre of Cabaye have installed a new confidence at Selhurst Park, with Pardew tipping his cap towards the Frenchman for his cool finish against the Hornets, per the Premier League:
Cabaye's all-round game is always going to make him a candidate for bonus points in fantasy football, as he accrued on Sunday, with Sky Sports highlighting the defensive dynamic he has to his game:
Football blogger Matt Whitehouse complimented Pardew and Palace for the strides they have made this year, with the likes of Cabaye improving the team's stock:
Scott Dann, Nine Points
Experienced fantasy league managers will know the impact that well-chosen budget defenders can have on their weekly points totals, and Scott Dann is proof of this.
The Palace skipper was named Man of the Match after Sunday's game and collected maximum bonus points for his efforts and clean sheet.
At £5 million, Dann is an excellent squad option for most fantasy league teams, especially as Palace's form continues to bear fruit.
Dann now enters the top 10 best defenders for fantasy football scoring with the addition of his bonus points, and he is a much better valued talent than many of the fringe players at bigger Premier League teams.
Opta highlighted how lethal the Eagles have become on their travels, with Dann now captaining Pardew's men:
Dann has provided the leadership they need at the back, and his partnership with Brede Hangeland gives the team a rock-solid foundation against most attacks.
The work of Cabaye in front of the centre-backs makes Pardew's core economical and limits damage, making all three players interesting picks for fantasy football in the coming months.
