Zaha self-isolating as Eze and Taylor shrug off yellow flags for Burnley v Palace

939 Comments

Wilfried Zaha (£7.4m) has been omitted from Crystal Palace’s matchday sqaud as they travel to face Burnley in Gameweek 9.

Roy Hodgson revealed on Monday afternoon that the midfielder is self-isolating, although it was not yet confirmed that he was doing so because of his own positive coronavirus (COVID-19) test, or because of someone he was in contact with.

Michy Batshuayi (£5.8m) comes in for Zaha, starting up-front alongside Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) in a 4-4-2 formation.

There is slightly more encouraging news for Palace fans as Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) has overcome his muscle injury to start on the left-hand side of midfield.

Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m), who has the best minutes per shot of any Palace player since Gameweek 3, is at left-back once again, this time rooting Tyrick Mitchell (£4.1m) to the bench, who finally returns from his knock.

Charlie Taylor (£4.5m) has shrugged off his yellow flag to start at Turf Moor, the Burnley defender behind only Nick Pope (£5.4m) for points per million spent among his colleagues this season.

Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) starts alongside Chris Wood (£6.2m) up-front for Sean Dyche’s men, relegating Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) to the bench.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Brownhill, Westwood, Gudmundsson; Rodriguez, Wood.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyate, Clyne; Eze, Riedewald, McArthur, Townsend; Ayew, Batshuayi.

          Tonto is a fictional Native American(70's cowboy movies); as John Wayne would say 'an endian'. Partner (not to be confused with life-partner) of the Lone Ranger. Tonto Murphy is a character from an Irish/Native American anecdote, of which there are not many; some would say too few. Look it up - quite funny and complementary to both sides of the equation 🙂

    Jota has started 4 PL games, including one where Mane had COVID and one where Salah had COVID. Firmino has never been benched.

    In the 2 games where all 4 played (Sheff Utd + Man City), Liverpool played 4-2-3-1 with:

    Jota --- Firmino --- Mane
    ----------- Salah -------------

    Do Liverpool fans think you switch to that formation going forwards given Jota's form and Firmino's importance to the team?

      No livpool fan.
      But either way it will go, I just cant see Klopp benching Firmino.
      So it will depend game by game I guess and available personnel to see which formation he plays.

      Not fan, but perhaps/probably imo they will try something like that again. Very difficult to see any of those four being dropped. Yet the formation may actually be fluid.

    After getting Lamptey rc pts from bench and no info how long Zaha is out and Barkley with hamstring injury, this isn't looking fun at all. Planned transfer was/is Kane to C Vardy. If I don't do that, I have 1 ft and exact money for
    Barkley to Jota
    Zaha to Torres

    Nothing can go wrong here... No matter what I do this looks like the most difficult situation to solve ever 🙁

    Hmm. Have no pressing matter really BUT. Like Matin Luther King said "I have a plan" (or dream). My midfield/frontline is this atm:

    Grealish Bruno Son Zaha
    DCL Kane Watkins

    I have 1. FT next week. My original plan was and still is Son --> KDB. Need a City asset the next two games.
    But... now with the Zaha situation, i was wondering about Zaha --> Ziyech... But then I cant afford KDB (Unless i take a -8, and change Kane to Vardy). And now with the Lamptey red card - I don't have a good sub-option (Only Mitchell Bisouma)

    So..
    1. Do nothing for now. Wait and see about the Zaha situation and do Son --> KDB as planned
    2. Do nothing
    3. Do something else

      I have similar situation but worse:
      Barkley, Zaha, Bruno, Rashford, Salah
      Kane, DCL, Brewster

      You can easily do Son to KdB and Zaha to Jota for example, it's only -4.

      Think you are likely to get a CS, and I think KDB could go big next GW.
      90 minutes of shots outside the box, dangerous passes, corners and free kicks should/could return more than 1 attacking return.
