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.

      Could lead to a lot of easy saves, cs and baps with the bus parked :/

      Hopefully not though

    Football is finished if that’s a red card.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      Even Roy didnt argue it tho

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

        Adam smith made an absolute meal of it.. I'm surprised he still has a leg based on his reaction.. 60 secs later he is 100%.

    2. hsakrujd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's red, not intentional, still red... And not for a further ban

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I’m not arguing it’s not a red by the book. I’m saying the book is wrong.

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

          Book's wrong long time...

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Red to me.

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You honestly think that should be a red card?

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

          Honestly yes. I'm bad at words but his foot trajectory wasn't helpful much to give it the benefit of the doubt.

          1. Ozzy smith
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            So red cards need to be dished out for players kicking the ball and grazing an opponent with the studs as they kick through. Garbage sport at the moment.

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

              That's was just him flying

      It’s an obvious red

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Like I’ve stated above, the current interpretation of the law is wrong. I’m not saying the ref made the wrong call.

  11. jason_ni
    • 8 Years

    Never a red..

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years

      Agree. World's gone mad,.

  12. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Let's hope this is bad for the Kelly owners too

      And Guiata ofcourse

      1. teneighty

            So true. 😉

    Thanks Sakho. That's my Guaita cleanie gone.

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

      Not necessarily

  14. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bournemouth to commit more players forward. Zaha train in full force, steaming out the sides.

  15. Tempestic
    • 5 Years

    Glad I invested I palace...

  16. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    C Wilson hasn’t scored for 7 games and Solanke for 7 years. No Fraser or King and loads of Zaha buyers. Amazon’s first game ever is a sure 0 - 0 even with Palace down to 10 men

  17. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    C.Wilson to finally break his lull? Rico cleanie??

  18. F4L
    • 9 Years

    wasn't even a tackle, was just clearing the ball.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      doesnt matter, high contact, studs up. thats a red every day of the week

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Wrong

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        contact was initiated by Smith just as much as Sakho.

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly.. he caught him slightly on the knee.. with his other leg.. where is var

  20. Rainer

    Has anyone bought Callum Wilson in the last 3 minutes?

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

      Apparently rival kept him because he had "other transfers" to do 😀

  21. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Guaita will get 1 or 11 points after the red card.

  22. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years

    I am cursed in this game, Holy ****

  23. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Don't sub Jayew. Don't sub Jayew.

  24. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    People saying that's not a red, studs up at knee level & actually catching him. He gave the ref no options...

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly any force in it.

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's not.

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's his dangling leg.. not the one used to clear the ball.
      Yes.. if a player goes in studs up agressive anywhere it's a red.
      That's should not be a red card.

  25. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years

    A red wow? Seen allot worse this season.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      just because theres worse, doesnt mean its not a red....

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

      Bias against such a small club.

    4. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      It your studs are up there you are likely to go whatever the force.

      Mepham hand ball, Guaita save to be removed?

    CPL train derailed then. Looked like such a promising train with their average defence and awful attack

  28. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I know there’s ages left but did anyone who also got Zaha regret it before they even made the move !

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

      Martial out.. so I'd make the same move again.
      Bad enough being a utd fan, but having their fantasy assets just compounds the pain when you watch them(unless its rashford!)
