Zaha and Lamptey fit to feature as Mitchell keeps his place at left-back

Crystal Palace face Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park in the second of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off in the M23 derby is at 14:00 BST.

All four of the players who have double-digit ownerships from these two teams start this afternoon.

Three of them were doubts for this fixture, be it through injury or rotation risk.

Tyrick Mitchell (£4.2m) sees off the challenge of Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) at left-back for now, with the fit-again Dutchman only among the substitutes.

Tariq Lamptey (£4.7m) and Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) were both flagged with injuries in Fantasy Premier League but the pair are passed fit to feature.

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m), Albion’s most-owned FPL asset, is between the posts again as expected.

Crystal Palace have made four changes in all to the side that were thrashed by Chelsea before the international break.

Gary Cahill (£4.5m) is back after a long-term lay-off and replaces Mamadou Sakho (£4.5m) at centre-half, while Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m) is in for Eberechi Eze (£5.9m) down the Eagles’ left flank.

Jordan Ayew (£5.8m) isn’t in the Palace squad, so Michy Batshuayi (£5.8m) joins Zaha in a two-man attack.

The injured James McCarthy (£4.5m) is replaced by Jairo Riedewald (£4.4m) in the middle of the park, while new signing Nathaniel Clyne (£4.5m) is on the bench.

Brighton make two changes to the team that lost 4-2 against Everton last time out.

Dan Burn (£4.4m) and Adam Lallana (£6.3m) come into the visitors’ starting XI, with Steven Alzate (£4.5m) and Aaron Connolly (£5.5m) dropping to the bench – possibly as a result of their exertions with their respective countries over the international break.


Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Cahill, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp, McArthur, Riedewald, Townsend; Zaha, Batshuayi.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Webster, Dunk, White; Burn, Bissouma, Lallana, Lamptey; Trossard, Maupay, March.

      A RC each would be nice. But I think you will get some returns out of at least one of them.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

    2. MagicMessi

      Yes like that, but wait for GW to end first

  10. puhd

    Mitro ffs!! Missed a pen!

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      dial up?

    2. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think he'll score it.

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dont worry. There's still plenty of time left to score.

  11. tiger

    Mitrovic -11 BPS

    Some achievement that

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think it's a record for a striker

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He is special

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They should bring in minus BAPS. Bottom 3 bps in a match get -1, -2 -3 respectively.

  12. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Will wait until after the games but who's the better to have?

    a) Trossard

    b) Antonio

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B for me

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A for now, get Antonio for Fulham in a few weeks

    3. Latetotheparty
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey already looking lively for me

  14. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Just watched Sheffield get ripped apart for extended periods of a match by... *checks again*... Fulham?!

    Salah (C).

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Edit: TC

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah (C) best bet next GW.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I won't be surprised if he blanks to be honest. it is that kind of a season

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      They'll park the bus against liverpool

      1. Emp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Oh ye and that tends to work out well for teams lol

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        SHU almost always plays the same way, tbf. Just not good enough

    4. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Actually I'm very excited for Robbo in that game, huge potential for an attacking return and a CS

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I agree, but I'm not confident with VVD and Alisson out

        1. NULL-X-VOID
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          well give the state of SHU attack, I still think it's a huge CS chance.

          1. NULL-X-VOID
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            given*

          2. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Lmao

  15. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    had a silly casual question. If one of my Def doesn't play, and I'm playing 343, and my first bench is a mid, so in sub, my second sub which is a def would be chosen, right?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Y

      1. NULL-X-VOID
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        cheers Daniel.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, the 1st defender bench player..

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yup. "Minimum 3 defenders" rule will be enforced

      Minimum 2 mids. Minimum 1 forward

    4. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      cheers lads.

    5. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I don't know why but Ronka played Brewster and benched KDB

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Well KDB was announced out so that's why he's on the bench.

        Brewster over Lamptey/Mitchell was the call. Obviously betting on a differential scoring, but didn't pay off.

        Not that hard to figure out.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Mitchel and Lamptey def a better call than Brewster imo

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good decision. 1 is better than 0

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kdb injured that's why

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Better than getting Pulisic I guess

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Magnus got Pulisic though . see below

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB was definitely out
      Brewster would have scored if he started today IMO

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        probably he already took a hit and din't want -8?

  17. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha no longer OOP... Useless pick

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes he is OOP they play 3 5 2 with 2 upfront no?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He's out wide lefr
