Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta combined for 46 points against West Ham
CRYSTAL PALACE are a completely different side when Eberechi Eze (£4m) and Michael Olise (£3.8m) are fully fit.
When the talented duo play in tandem, unhampered my knocks or niggles, they cause huge problems for opposition defenders in a stylish manner.
As West Ham found out the hard way on Sunday when they lost 5-2 at Selhurst Park.
Both Eze and Olise registered a goal and an assist each in what was a swashbuckling attacking display from Oliver Glasner's side, particularly in the first half.
While the midfielders caught the eye with their familiar swagger, it was striker Jean-Philippe Mateta (£2.8m) who ended up as the chief beneficiary.
The 26-year-old banked 17 points via two goals and an assist, two more than Eze and three more than Olise.
The trio combined for a whopping 46 points to dominate the weekend's action.
At the time of writing, Mateta is Gameweek 32's top performer with Eze joint-second and Olise in fourth.
Dream Team managers who took a punt on one (two or all three) of the Palace stars have already been handsomely rewarded with another fixture still to come in midweek - Newcastle visit Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.

Unfortunately, gaffers have been deprived of Eze and Olise for much of this campaign because of injury setbacks but their stats when available are undeniable.
In fact, the latter averages 8.7 points-per-game this season - only Erling Haaland (£7m) boasts a better rate among all players.
He's racked up 122 points from just 14 appearances having scored seven goals, provided four assists and earned 28 bonus points.
Eze has been available more often but he's also been restricted to 27 outings; it's clear he gets a boost from playing alongside Olise.
The England international has eight goals and six assists to his name and his tally of 41 bonus points is only bettered by eight other assets in his position.
As for Mateta, he's enjoyed his best season in a Palace shirt by a considerable margin.
Last term, he mustered just two goals in 32 appearances but he's scored 12 goals this season and seems well placed to add to that total before his summer break.
He's statistically Dream Team's most in-form forward right now, just ahead of Alexander Isak (£4.6m), having notched 29 points from his last three games.

From Gameweek 33 onwards, Palace's remaining fixtures read: Fulham, Manchester United, Wolves, Aston Villa.
Many Dream Team bosses will be interested to see where Eze and Olise will end up next season and even if they stay in South London, they may be justifiably popular selections from the get-go in August.
