What it means for FPL managers
The departure of a key attacking player like Johnson may stabilize the attacking line-up, potentially increasing the security of minutes for Strand Larsen. At £6.0m, he remains a budget-friendly asset, but his current form and output suggest he should be monitored rather than prioritized immediately.
- Minutes risk: Nailed starter
- Who gains / loses: Strand Larsen potentially gains minutes due to squad exits.

The FPL verdict
Verdict: WATCHLIST - Strand Larsen is a reliable starter in terms of minutes played, evidenced by his consistent involvement over the last two seasons. However, his attacking returns have fluctuated significantly, dropping from 14 goals in 2024/25 to just four so far this term.
Given his low ownership of 0.6% and a modest next GW projection of 2.0 points, he functions primarily as a budget differential. Managers should keep him on their watchlist to see if the recent tactical shifts at Palace help him recapture his previous goal-scoring form.
