Marc Guehi: Profile, form and what to watch

Marc Guehi is a Chelsea academy graduate who moved to Crystal Palace in 2021 and has become a regular centre-back for club and England youth teams. If you follow Premier League defence or England prospects, Guehi is one to watch: solid on the ball, strong in the air and dependable in one-on-one duels.

This page gives you clear, useful updates: how he plays, where he fits in Palace’s system, transfer talk to watch, injury notes, and quick tips for fans and fantasy managers. No fluff — just the facts and what they mean for the team.

Playing style & strengths

Guehi reads the game well and likes to step out of the back to close space. He’s comfortable receiving the ball under pressure and linking play from deep, which helps Palace build through the centre when needed. Expect good positioning, reliable tackling, and solid aerial ability on set pieces.

Weaknesses to watch: he can be slow to recover after being drawn out wide, and pacey forwards can test him in transition. That makes team shape and support from a defensive midfielder important when Palace faces quick attacks.

Form, injuries and squad role

When fit, Guehi usually starts for Palace. His form often shows in stats like interceptions, clearances and aerial duels won. If you follow match reports, look for consistency across these numbers rather than one standout game. Clubs and managers value steady defenders — that's Guehi’s profile.

Injury updates matter. A minor knock can drop him to the bench because Palace usually prefers a full-strength backline. Check club reports and pre-match notes for the latest on fitness before making lineup or fantasy calls.

Transfer rumours pop up each window. Scouts like Guehi for his age profile and England youth experience. If stronger clubs show interest, expect Palace to demand a premium. For now, focus on his current performances — form usually affects transfer value more than rumours do.

Fantasy tip: Guehi isn’t a guaranteed source of attacking points, but clean sheets and bonus points are realistic when Palace defends well. If your league rewards defensive actions, he becomes more valuable after a run of good fixtures.

For fans: expect a dependable defender who improves with experience. Guehi fits best in teams that protect the back line with a compact midfield. Coaches who like to play out from the back will also favour him for his comfort on the ball.
