Mitchell retains left-back berth as van Aanholt named among Palace subs again

Tyrick Mitchell (£4.2m) has held off the return of Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) once again as he starts at left-back for Crystal Palace in Gameweek 6.

The youngster has recently made the spot his own in the absence of van Aanholt, but the Dutchman is now back on the scene following a long-term injury.

Mitchell’s 26.7% ownership had feared that Gameweek 6 would spell the end of his viability as a Fantasy Premier League asset but Roy Hodgson has afforded him at least one more outing.

In fact, his one change to defence comes on the other side of the back-four as Nathaniel Clyne (£4.5m) comes in for Joel Ward (£4.5m).

And the returning key man comes in midfield rather than at left-back as the penalty-taking Luka Milivojevic (£5.7m) makes his first start of the campaign.

It will be interesting to see whether or not he will take spot-kicks back off Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) at the first time of asking. He starts up-front with Michy Batshuayi (£5.8m).

Alexsandar Mitrovic (£5.8m) is still the main Fantasy focus at Fulham, owned by 10.3% of managers.

For the second match in a row, the Serbian international is flanked by new signing Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), who scored on his full debut and will be under the microscope for managers looking for value in midfield.

Fulham XI: Areola; A Robinson, Ream, Adarabioyo, Aina; Lemina, Zambo Anguissa; Lookman, Loftus-Cheek, Cairney; Mitrović.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Schlupp, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Batshuayi.

    Everyone gangsta until Bamford turns up....

    PVA on for a late cameo, then starts the next one imo. It was a good run, Mitchell

        a nice parting gift. How about throwing in an assist too

  5. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years

    Dunno why, I see a Zaha brace. And no, I don't have him.

      Fulham might win tbh

  6. Salah(c)

    Who would you look to ship out of this team?

    Pickford macey

    Saiss targett ayling justin mitchell

    Son salah sterling hamez podence

    Kane dcl brewster

    Im thinking podence and pickford and the rest are worth holding until proven otherwise?

    Ah balls, just realised Mitchell first on the bench....chances of a Hamez no show?

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well, he’s been training. Can’t see why he wouldn’t start.

    2. Goodricke
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dallas first for me. Take a break Hamez!

    City mids right now don’t look worth the money you have to shell out for them.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB is always worth it

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Paid 6.5m for a goal and I'm happy with that

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Fair play.

        I sadly own Mahrez.

        I know what happens the moment I sell him, too....

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

          Fellow Mahrez owner. Tough call whether to hold.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      GW10 looks the best time to invest.

      They'll probably sort themselves out by then. And the fixtures look so good it might be worth a double up.

        Pep

    3. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes confirmed injured.

  12. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitchell first on the bench, haul imminent.

  13. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zero baps for Foden :/

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He is ticking on withpoints though

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I've noticed this season that baps change after the final game of the day. He could still sneak in

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Aha. Still a small hope then.

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

      He played only 45 minutes thaz why

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

      could be worse for a 6.5

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        True. I'll take the points since he didn't start.

  14. stat sifter 888888

    Had a shocker and forgot to confirm Zaha as my captain this week. Hoping that I can fluke it and Salah will out-score him but a setback most definitely.

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

      You were going to skipper Zaha over Salah?

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

    Liverpool apparently playing a 4-2-3-1 with Jota, Mane, Firmino and Salah. Very intriguing.

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Whos the one playing in the middle of the 3?

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

        Has to be Firmino, I'm more interested in whoever's at ST. Mane did so against Everton in the last 10, Salah's played there plenty, Jota has too but with a partner next to him.

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

          Probably Mane since Jota plays LW

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

            Hope so 🙂

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

            Mane plays RW too, more likely to be there. How annoying

      2. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        You'd think Jota, but will be interesting to see.

      3. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would guess Firmino with Salah upfront if true

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      With no VVD they will be even more open doing this

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Will have 70% possesion so Sheffield will not have The ball AT all

    3. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Condiment?

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

      Good. They don’t need 3 CM’s vs Sheffield

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

    0-0, possibly 1-0 or 1-1 coming up

    But we'll still hope for a Zaha haul

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No we dont

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

      Hope... Yes, but Mili is on pens now imo

  17. Pegboy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Coufal in for Semedo after next week looks very likely.

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

    thanks for the heads up on Ward, Roy!

    Not like I was planning on starting him in the easiest game of the season

    Pep confirms aguero injury

  22. Steve The Spud

    Aguero bandwagon stopped before it started

    1. Flair

      Thoughts for those who went Aguero > Kane

  23. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wow I can't believe Palace fixtures. I know they don't score much but surely with those fixtures Zaha is worth consideration?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wolves and Leeds next 2 after this Fulham game...

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

        agree with joey, I'm tempted to get rid if he blanks today, only problem is there isn't many good options to go to without taking a hit to free funds for bruno, puli, Rashford etc

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Someone like Cahill may be better if fit. Nailed for a few cleanies and the odd attack points

    3. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah have him and keeping for next few

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

      I own him, and he scored in last match, but other than that, they had zero shot. Don't remember stats like that.

  24. Ginkapo FPL

    We have nine players out self isolating. As a resut weve resorted to putting Granville on the bench as one of only 3 subs.

    Pray for Barnet this afternoon

    QUIZ! Talking of penalties, name one player to have a 100% PL penalty conversation still intact. They need to have taken over 10 or more penalties in total.

    1. Duke Silver ☑

        1. Brosstan

          Miloli has missed one but still has 95% or something

    Am I the only one to think that Pep’s continuous spitting is disgusting and he should be warned or fined for it?

    Was having my lunch and he made me lose appetite.

      If you hit him while he's doing it, he'd be gob-smacked...

      I've yet to find something that puts me off food. Anne Widdecombe could be having a dump in front of me and I'd still be able to enjoy my food.

          It would disgust me, but I don't think it would put me off food. It's not like the taste would change.

          But I'm not willing to put it to the test 😆
