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.

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

      You can't get 6 points that easy.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          5

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

        Sure, why not. I'll quietly take the 5 points, lol.

      Amy I the only person on here with Vardy? Any news on him playing this evening?

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

        I've got him. Heard nothing about whether he's playing yet though.

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

      Lamptey is pretty bad defensively, always late for tackles.

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

      Mitchell 1-pointer confirmed now...

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

      Silly YC for Mitchell

    6. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey red could be coming here

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

        Wtf

      2. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        don't need that with Mitchell also likely losing place to PVA

    7. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 5 Years

      Kids today!

    8. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years

    9. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How stupid is that from mitchell when he is in a yellow

    10. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kids I tell you 😆

    11. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey and Mitchell red cards would NOT be sweet

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

      Lol @ Cahill holding Mitchell's hand like a little kid.

      Mitchell needs to be subbed by Roy

    13. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey fears no one. All 5ft of him 🙂

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

      Mitchell definitely should be booked for that

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

        He was.

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

          Nope

    15. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will sell mitchell just for sheer dumbness

    16. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How’s Maupay playing ?

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

        Getting chances, can't finish

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        did he start ?

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

          Good one

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

        getting chances but poor finisher
        reminds me of Che Adams

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

      No single save for Ryan, and the unlucky pen killed his points - so frustrating

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Pretty much the worst keeper to have picked the season to start with

        • Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Perks of having Ryan. Never going to pick him again

        • Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          He should have saved that pen at least

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

          He was fine last season ... anyway playing this season will need to forget previous records!

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

        Bissouma so attacking

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          better option than Brewster ?

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

            yes imo

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          More dangerous than Zaha

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

            agreed

      3. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How good is Lamptey!

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

          Completely unmarked this game because of Zaha. Should have been even more involved imo

      4. rdpx
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Werner/Keane in for Mitrovic/VVD -4 is my current thinking

      5. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bissouma isn’t afraid of shooting is he

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

          getting in good shooting positions too

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

        Grrr on top of my non wildcard team being 42 points up, I backed Brighton over palace on wc.

        Stats say Brighton playing well but as usual, that’s not turning into points!

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

          same here

          WC

          played Trossard Maupay
          benched Mitchell

          Mirchell outscoring

          season over

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

            Palace are the worst team to let score first. Happened in saints game, 11 men behind ball and zero ambition.

            Gets points but man is it bad to watch

      7. tiger

        Does it feel like this match has been going on for days to anyone else?

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

          Considering I don't have any player in this game, yes.

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

        So, either play waste of space Ramsdale v Pool next weekend and save FT for following week when I can ditch Ramsdale and Doherty for free, or get rid now with FT.

        Hmmmmmm.......

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

          get rid

          can see liverpool winning by 10- 0

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

          Hopefully son brace and kane red card

        2. Gobigorgohome
