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.

      Well I’d assume they’d keep the same team wins today...?

  6. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    How is that not a card for Lamptey??

    1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A new technique, go to the ground as you have injuried, as Robertson did yesterday, and you will avoid booking.

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

    Maupay close

  8. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lamptey's 20 pointer against West Brom next GW should ease the pain

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

    Maupay!!! Should've passed to Lamptey

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

      yeah, why he didn't pass to Lamptey?

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

    Guaita world class save from Maupay screamer

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes was reminiscent of Zidane in the champions league final

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    No more pen for Zaha it seems

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

    Zaha no longer on pens...

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

      Back on pens

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

        what happened?

        1. Gobigorgohome
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          milo

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

          Miloli was coming on because McArthur injury but he shrugged it off

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

    Next 4 GWs (Son + Salah already in the team):
    A. Double Salah Mane
    B. Double Son Kane
    C. Diversify with Sterling Bruno in the mix

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

      B. Kane & Son link better than Mane & Salah - better fixtures as well

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

      Double Salah and Mane sounds appealing

    3. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Come ooooon. Lamptey !!!

  15. Kay317

    Sorry, bottomed...
    Best R.James replacement? 1FT 8.2 ITB after selling R.James.
    A) Keane and save my KDB buy back money.
    B) more expensive upgrade and figure out the KdB issue later on, if so who?
    Have Robbo, Saiss, Lamp, Mitchell.

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

      Castagne

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

        or Chilwell

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          So you think deal with bringing back KDB later on? Both look very dangerous going forward. Swaying towards chilwell but then he's quite injury prone.

    2. AnfieldLad
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You have 8.2ITB ?

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Well 3.2 but R.James is 5 so 8.2 for his replacement

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

          Telles could be a shout

          1. Kay317
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Need to see him play first but I've got an eye on him

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

    Tottenham lineup anyone?

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 9 Years

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

      Yep

    2. Sim Simma

    4. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years

      lamptey looks class going forward

    5. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Surely you didnt choose Lampty at 4.5 as nothing more than a cheap defender who get mins.......anything more is a bonus.......I dont see lots of flack for all other 4.5m defenders??

    6. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I benched Lamp and played Maupay but I'm happy with them cause they are not that bad even in this difficult fixture and also they have 2 amazing him fixtures comin up

      1. Shark Team
        • 6 Years

    Trossard livelier

    The camera doesn't lie. Just human eyes aren't great at visualising straight lines unless they are actually drawn on the screen. Doesn't help that 90%+ of the time the camera is not exactly in line with the offside line. Not like horse racing where the winning line is fixed so you always get a straight on view.

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years

      What are you trying to say?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That when we see replays it looks onside always because the camera is at an angle

        • The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          He likes horses

        • diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          People think (when they look with their eyes without any lines drawn on) that someone is onside. But they are deceived by a poor camera angle. The only way you can really tell is by overlaying a horizontal line and vertical lines on the picture.

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

            Fair enough

        • BeaversWithAttitude
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          If Batshuayi was in a horse race the horse would win?

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay should have scored

    3. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay is awful at taking his chances isn't he. Looks the type of player who does well on stats and chances but watching him he is massively frustrating

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

        Harsh.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He has 4 goals in 4 games this season already. So as wasteful as he is, he's still doing pretty well.

    4. Steve The Spud

      maupay misses a sitter

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Absolute sitter, no need to keep doing fake shots

          1. Gobigorgohome
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            exactly

        • Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          lamptey assist ?

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            no

          2. Gobigorgohome
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            no

          Just shot at the first place.

      2. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Brighton must be the worst team for missing chances

        1. stat sifter 888888
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Definitely, look no further than the massive gap in quality between their midfield/defence and their attack. Maupay is a very good championship level striker and a decent PL striker but other than that they could do with some new blood in those positions.

      3. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Maupay gets a lot of chances every game

        only if he can shoot better..

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

        Sakho on. Maupay owners start celebrating now
