Kelly starts again as Gameweek 15 gets underway

The first midweek Gameweek of the season is underway as Crystal Palace host Bournemouth.

Their match kicks off at the unorthodox time of 19:30 GMT as Amazon Prime broadcast the Premier League for the first time.

It means that their team sheet has dropped 45 minutes before Burnley and Manchester City’s as they kick off at 20:15 GMT at Turf Moor.

The key piece of Fantasy news so far is that Martin Kelly (£4.1m) has started for the second Crystal Palace match in a row after an injury to Joel Ward (£4.5m).

That suggests that the defender will hold down the right-back berth for the upcoming run of positive fixtures in the place of Ward – good news indeed.

The only change made to Roy Hodgson’s side following their 2-0 win at Burnley sees Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) come in for Scott Dann (£4.3m), which may also boost the Eagles’ clean sheet potential.

Meanwhile, Dominic Solanke (£5.3m) starts up-front for Bournemouth, alongside Callum Wilson (£7.6m).

Harry Wilson (£6.0m) and Arnaut Danjuma (£5.8m) have been selected on the flanks of a 4-4-2, consigning Ryan Fraser (£6.9m) to the bench.

At Turf Moor, Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) comes in for Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m) in the Manchester City attack.

While Fantasy managers are usually left somewhat perplexed by Pep Guardiola’s tactical decisions, it’s Sean Dyche, typically a 4-4-2 no changes man, who has named a pragmatic line-up.

Burnley have fielded a 4-5-1 featuring a midfield trio of Jack Cork (£5.0m), Jeff Hendrick (£5.4m) and Danny Drinkwater (£4.4m) behind centre-forward Chris Wood (£6.2m)

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Kelly; Townsend, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur; Zaha, Ayew.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; Rico, Mepham, Aké, A Smith; H Wilson, Lerma, Billing, Danjuma; C Wilson, Solanke.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Drinkwater, Hendrick, Cork, Lennon; Wood

Man City XI: Ederson; Angelino, Fernandinho, Otamendi, Walker; de Bruyne, D Silva, Rodrigo; Sterling, Jesus, B Silva.

      The only perk of being ranked far down I guess

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably wont take it off Vardy.

      KDB or Sterling probably the best bets.

      Name I got given on here when I triple captain Kolorov few years back so had to keep it.

    Vardy EO of 181 is about the highest I can remember...

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Blank imminent

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        with that EO it doesn't matter

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yup, and for some strange reason I capped Salah...

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm sure it's been higher with Salah before.

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah

  7. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Son or Alli (ignoring price) and why?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli, cheaper.

      1. manu4life99
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lol ignore money (pre wc punt and has no impact on rest of squad plans)

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli stats so far looks appealing, no 10 position and praised by Jose ... and yet still picking Son

    3. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli. Mourinho comments regarding him. Also watching the last three games he's going to run the front four (Kane, Son, Alli & whoever plays on the other wing). He'll be central to their attack and everything will go through him.

    Thoughts on best use of 1.6m here

    Heaton -- Pope
    Taa Lundy Tomori -- Rico Lascelles
    Mane Kdb Pulisic Mount -- Cantwell
    Rashford Vardy Ings

    A: Mount >> Zaha (depending on how he does tonight)
    B: Lascelles + Mount >> Hanley + Alli...expect hanley to be fit by gw18
    C: Mount + Rashford >> Alli + Tammy (-4)
    D: Mount + Rashford >> Son + Pukki (-4)
    E: Mount + Rashford >> Jwp + Kane (-4)
