‘Out of position’ Zaha scores as £4.0m defender Mitchell helps Palace to clean sheet

Crystal Palace 1-0 Southampton

  • Goal: Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m)
  • Assist: Andros Townsend (£6.0m)
  • Bonus: Vicente Guaita (£5.0m) x3, Townsend x2, Scott Dann (£4.5m) x1

Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) bagged the winning goal, but none of the bonus points, as Crystal Palace returned to their roots to grind out a win over Southampton.

The Eagles managed just one win in nine as they lost their way post-lockdown; a fact that must have irked boss Roy Hodgson. After years spent perfecting his kindly owl image, he was clearly busy this summer rebooting his touchline persona.

And for much of the match, his new scowling sunburnt tourist look suited the quality, or lack thereof, on the pitch as play was broken, passes went astray and chances were scarce.

An early burst of Southampton attacking intent culminated in a Jack Stephens (£5.0m) header forcing a routine save from Vicente Guaita (£5.0m) – the first of five stops from the Palace keeper that earned him the maximum bonus award for his 1.8% Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownership.

At 24.4%, his opposite number, Alex McCarthy (£4.5m), came into the match as FPL’s most popular stopper, but hopes of a clean sheet were dashed after just 13 minutes when Zaha volleyed sweetly home from Andros Townsend‘s (£6.0m) pin-point cross.

The problem for managers who have a keeper playing against Palace is that if they don’t get the shut-out, then save points are unlikely to soften the blow. Hodgson’s side managed just 118 shots on target last year – only Sheffield United (110) had fewer – and they seemed content to live on attacking scraps once they were ahead yesterday.

By the time the game was up and the three points tucked away in Hodgson’s back pocket, his team had worked McCarthy just twice.

The story was markedly different at the other end.

A dour first half clearly led to some pointed dressing room comments from Southampton coach Ralph Hasenhuttl because his players came out swinging after the restart.

Che Adams (£6.0m) set up Nathan Redmond (£6.5m), whose weak shot from inside the area went straight at Guaita. The 13%-owned Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.5m) then put in a low ball that eluded everyone as Southampton’s high tempo start to the second half threatened to pay immediate dividends.

That tempo, ultimately, proved to be unsustainable – perhaps a sign of early-season fatigue – but not before Adams forced a truly brilliant save from Guaita, who reacted instinctively to beat out the striker’s well-hit volley.

It was the closest Adams got to a goal from a generally underwhelming performance. Some 4.8% of FPL managers had hoped he would offer the same sort of attacking threat as his Southampton strike partner Danny Ings (£8.5m) for considerably less money.

Neither, as it turned out, could find a way past Guaita, with the (then) 25.7%-owned Ings denied three times, most notably in stoppage time when his header, from a Walker-Peters cross, was well saved by the Palace keeper.

That capped an eventful day for the Southampton right-back, who had earlier been dismissed by referee John Moss for a high tackle, only for VAR to suggest the official might want to review his decision on the pitch-side monitor. That he did, red became yellow – rightly – and Walker-Peters’ ownership had to be grateful for one point from a match that could have seen him walk off with a negative score.

Hasenhuttl’s side still have a solid early-season schedule to come – one of the reasons Ings is so popular – but the knee-jerkers are already busy and the striker is currently the second-most sold player heading into Gameweek 2.

The opposite is not entirely true for Zaha, however.

The midfielder, who played the match out of position as a second striker, should have walked away with more than an eight-point haul from the match.

Twice he was sent clean through on the counter as Southampton chased the game. He scored from one of the breaks, only to be denied by a marginal, if correct, offside call, and could only find the side netting from the other.

That profligacy hurt his bonus point standing and a tough immediate schedule – Manchester United and Chelsea away over the next three Gameweeks – is not helping his popularity in the transfer market either.

That could all change from Gameweek 5 onwards, when Palace’s fixtures improve markedly. But only if he’s at the club at all.

Hodgson remained unconvinced post-match.

Let’s see what transpires. For me, hopefully nothing. The fact is that every transfer window I’ve been involved in, Wilf has made noises that he would like to play for a club that plays in the Champions League.

But for anything to happen, a club has got to come along and pay the market price. We’re expecting him to accept the situation for what it is and keep playing his best football.

A lot of Palace’s best football was reserved for their defence who, despite numerous injury concerns, kept Southampton at arms length for much of the encounter.

Bargain basement left-back Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m and 13.7%) looked solid, although he offered little in an attacking sense, while veteran defender Scott Dann (£4.5m) helped makeshift centre-half Cheikou Kouyate (£5.0m) look the part while the likes of Mamadou Sakho (£4.5m) edge closer to a return.

Patience will no doubt inform Hodgson’s game. That is a luxury Hasenhuttl knows he can ill afford.

We had a difficult pre-season with players not with us and we couldn’t work for two weeks on what we wanted to do. You can see it will be a tough season and we must step up immediately.

Based on yesterday’s evidence, that step up will have to be a fairly big one – the Saints entertain Tottenham next.


Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; Mitchell, Dann, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp (Eze 81′), McCarthy (Milivojevic 74′), McArthur, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew.

Southampton XI (4-4-2): McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek (Vestergaard 45′), J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Smallbone (Djenepo 77′), Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond; Adams (Long 85′), Ings.

    How does Alli ➡️ Fernandes and Bowen ➡️ 4.5 for the bench sound? would end up with Soucek as 4th mid until potentially being up graded.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah looks decent, hopefully Bruno makes up for having to play Soucek.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Or Alli ➡️ Rodriguez and Bowen ➡️ Greenwood?

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

          Not this until we see Greenwood, IMO.

          1. In a Rush
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            That’s a fair point he could be in the dog house maybe van de Beek is a shout

          2. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Agree.

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I support it, but Soucek upgrade needs to stay front burner thereafter.

      Can you get Havertz or Puli without the hit? If that’s an option could wait to see how they do tmw.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes I have .5 Itb but not sure I want a Chelsea double up against pool even though they conceded 3 against Leeds!

    3. Obi wan Iwobi
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is why I think TAA breaks team structures, assuming you have him. Switch for a 5m and you have Willian or Ziyech there instead, and you have flex to go to Foden, Greenwood, or Hamez.

      TAA will get you 200, but you can cover him and some with good choices IMO

    Wow, that tennis game, has completely flipped on its head. Lovely stuff!

    1. dunas_dog

      Got to laugh- put £50 on Thiem to win - 4/1. Could have cashed in for £180 before final but didn’t- then when Thiem went 2 sets down looked no chance of coming back as he was out of it so cashed in for £50 as thought at least got stake back.......

      1. Pratik
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        oh shucks!

      2. Victor6359

        Bloody cash out, hate it.

  3. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Everyone rushing in UTD assets when Palace were solid at the back and City vs Wolves away?

    Accidents waiting to happen?

    1. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I want a Man Utd player but to be fair I’m wary of this as well

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I have a week to ponder my Alli to Donny move. The more I think of it the more I should save my FT to have 2 for GW2...

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think Palace is a good fixture still, after that not so much

    3. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not so much rushing in, we all had MNU assets in our teams before fixtures were released. Sticking to the plan.

    4. Hospital Pass
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe, but wondering about home/away with Palace. Home to Southampton is one thing, but not so sure about their defence at OT.

  4. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    don't rate my team, just wanted to post it because it looks very nice:
    Mccarthy/Button
    Lewis/Mina/Shaw/Pieters/Mitchell
    Sterling/Auba/Pulisic/Rashford/James
    DCL/Rodrigo/Mitrovic

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No Salah no nice.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Or Trent,I do like the look of the midfield but I’m a salah fan too so it wouldn’t be for me.

      2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.

      Do you have rose-tinted glasses?

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years

        I do Lennon style ones

  5. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jose subbed off Dier early in a game last season and played him the next game. Likely that he does the same with Alli.

    1. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That’s true I forgot that but still think I’ll get rid

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What's your transfer plan?

  6. Man Chest Hair United

    Bests option here

    A Ings to martial for free
    B Ings to DCL Alli to Rashford -4
    C Alli to James for free
    D Ings to martial and Alli to James -4

  7. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I'm suspicious that the price rises are moving so slowly on fplstats. Maybe predictions out of whack because of usual new season FPL algoriithm changes?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1st week is always slower.

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The prevailing thought is that the algorithm is a function of net transfers vs ownership %, as well as number of active FPL managers. At the start everyone is active by definition (because you actively entered a team), so price changes move slower than later in the season, when some astronomical number of teams are ghost ships. This is just a theory of course, but it seems reasonable to me based on observation over the years

  8. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I am willing to give Mitro one more chance, but those price rises/falls are so crucial at the start of the season. Ugh.

    1. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe give him Leeds then sack him off

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Leeds and then home to Villa

  9. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ings > Wilson is too kneejerk, yes?

    Really wishing I hadn't made that switch after seeing Palace's injury woes. Alas, Wilson allows for funds ITB, which I don't have, and he's at home. Maybe I'm just trying to over-justify it...?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely. Keep Ings.

    2. One Man
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ings to Wilson is prob okay

    3. Hospital Pass
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ings out sounds sensible (£8.5m seems high for the same price as Pulisic/Havetz). Wilson is the tricky bit for me
      .

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Suggestion on replacement? I'm open. Doesn't have to be Wilson.

        1. Hospital Pass
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Depends on the rest of your team, I'd probably save the transfer. Next week looks better for Wilson, but GW3 and 4 are far better for Ings.

  10. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What are Nketiah owners doing?

  11. olly:)
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    what to do with Saliba? not going to eat a drop on him so wait as long as possible then move him on hmmm, annoying. That switch from Holding > Saliba saturday morning hurt...

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      just sell him, there is plenty of other good 4.5's around

  12. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Just spotted a team in a cash league that has bench boosted with Pope + 3 x Man United players on the bench 😆

    Surely they could have found something better to do with their money!

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Omg. Can I join a cash league with them?

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      A fool and his money are soon parted

  13. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) how important is it to get a utd or city asset in?
    B) does Alli need to go?

    Had a terrible GW1 (no salah) but thinking it might be better to save a maybe mini WC after GW2 if necessary rather than knee jerk now

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A) city not as urgent, i'd say united is pretty important. I'll be going Salah - Bruno myself this week. Then Auba - KDB for gw 3
      B) No, it was a tactical sub and honestly they looked even more toothless without him.

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cool thanks mate. Original plan was ings to martial but not sure right now

  14. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I hope Havertz and Pulisic stay quiet.
    I want to hold off on
    Alli and Barnes to
    Pulisic and Foden til GW3 and do it for free.
    Better to wait til GW3 if not forced to move by price changes. Barnes I don’t mind holding even if his shooting wasn’t the best. Alli is a bit more concerning. Thoughts?

    1. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking of doing a similar move this week in Saka & Son--> Pulisic/Havertz & Foden

  15. One Man
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I'm going to sell Ings for Wilson as need to funds to get either Salah or KDB. should I just do it now, as Ings has Spurs next ?

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If not for a great save by Guita Ings would have been on the score sheet. That being said, Salah and KDB are huge and if it means losing Ings than do it.

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs D on the road not much to write home about. Same exact strength rating (1,100) on FPL API as Brighton on the road, whom Wilson plays next. If it looks like prices will change before GW2, go for it. Otherwise I might want Ings for one more game, as opposed to Wilson, and then drop him for an Away match at Burnley in GW3. But either way is fine IMO if you want to make the play now.
      Not sure there's a rush to get Salah nor KDB at this exact moment given fixtures through about week 10 or so. Just my opinion.
      Another factor to consider: Jimenez might be who you want come WK3 instead of Wilson anyway (ignoring the part about wanting to free up funds). 5 matches away with defenses rated 2 in FDR. 3 of the 5 at home.
      Good luck.

      1. One Man
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Valid points, helped focus my mind. My plan was to take Fernandes out in gw4 as he has Spurs, Che, & Ars in 3 out of 4 games there after. I planned to shuffle between Salah and KDB for those games as I need a Captain option. But Maybe I could use Jimmy and Werner for my captain option's during that period instead if I take in Jimmy like you recommended. Son or Kane could also be captain options during this period.

      2. One Man
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Salah in gw4 for Villa, Everton, Sheffield & West ham ?
        Then Fernandes back in from gw8 on for Everton, West brom and Southamton, to take me up to my wildcard ?

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ings could return against Spurs.

  16. King Sheep
    • 7 Years

    Safe to wait another day or two before pulling the trigger on Son>Bruno?

    1. TorresMagic™

    Would you do the following for a -4?

    Auba > KDB and Son > Bruno???

    Or just Auba > KDB and hope I’m not priced out of Bruno GW 3.

    Cheers

    1. King Sheep

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Was also thinking that too. Just means I’ll be priced out of KDB by GW 3,

      2. I Must Break You
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

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

      Keep Auba against the Hammers & then look to move on next GW against Liverpool.

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Auba for at least one more GW. West Ham is prime for points

      I will probably get Foden for GW3 but I will have a bench.

    how did Harry Kane do today? Had Vardy and Werner in the premium forward slot for awhile but opted for Kane in the end

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not very good, like any Spurs player.

    2. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      xG 0.17, with 1 shot on target. I didn't get to watch but reports don't sound inspiring

    3. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs just created nothing. Could have been played in one time for a likely goal but Son went with Alli instead. Almost got on the end of a Son cross, any touch would have put it in. Did very little but could have still easily grabbed a goal.
      Probs not good value tho

      Dont be silly, stick with it, at worst, save your free transfer this week for a -4 mini WC GW 3.

      With three left to play? Not until after tomorrow night at the earliest.

        Yes stil left with egan james and werner.

        But i will need manutd assets for gw2?

          It doesn't look worth a wildcard to me, as GW1 is always a bit weird and the template team is far from known. Utd at home seem likely to beat Palace, but to thump them like Salah against Leeds seems a long shot with the makeshift Palace defence not awful and Bruno/Rashford unlikely to be at top speed (assuming they both play the full 90).

    What's the deal with Saka? Think he'll play next game?

      What's the rest of your team if you have £10.5m up front and £1m in the bank...?

      Get DCL and upgrade your mid

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years

      Get Martial and upgrade midfield?

    4. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who are your other forwards?

      I'd personally ditch him.

    Anyone know who's on pens for everton?

    1. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sig is our pen taker, no one knows when he's not on the pitch. Maybe James; no one in the starting lineup today has taken a penalty for us in an offical, DCL took one in past for England U21s i think and Richarlison took one for Brazil in copa america but genuinely unsure.

      It could even be Digne, but he's only ever scored 1 professional penalty before, it might be Richarlson, but then he did this before:

    thoughts on Doherty after today?

    1. King Sheep
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should've scored, looks a threat, keep.

  26. DOCLES

    Tempted for a Leeds midfielder for next week against Fulham, who looked good?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Harrison

    2. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Harrison and Klich both seem good

      1. DOCLES
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Was actually considering Costa, or did he have much involvement?

  27. Bruno Bruno!!

    Pretty crap GW 33 with only jiminez and Werner left.

    Moving onto GW2, how is the team looking:

    Johnstone
    TAA Taylor Dier
    Rashford ASM Son Aubameyang Periera
    Jiminez Werner

    Button Mitchell KWP Davis

    1FT 1.5m itb

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be tempted by Pereira to James

    2. Hospital Pass
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be worried about Son a, but who to? New look Chelsea may answer that tomorrow.

  28. Henryyy

    Good to go?

    McCarthy
    TAA Ayling Justin
    Salah Auba(c) Havertz Soucek
    Werner Mitro Martial

    4m - Taylor Bissouma Mitchell

  29. SoapAFC

    Very tempted by Digne, everton have nice fixtures as well, anyone else?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very

      1. SoapAFC

        3 years, 6 months ago

        I remember the start of last season everyone had him in but he didn't perform, didn't see him in many teams this year

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I was one of em lol

          Everton should be a much better team this season

    2. JM11
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can't afford him sadly, but I think I may go for coleman at 5.0. Didn't have great stats, but saw him pop up in the box a few times.

    3. DOCLES
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very happy I picked him for GW1! Get on board, quality player!

    4. Hospital Pass
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very much so. And anyone else in the Everton backline, unless Digne/DCL are going to make a habit of that.

    I should be fine to hole transfer for ings to martial after tomorrow's games right?

    1. Henryyy
