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.

    Nice Zaha like some early points

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

    What was Zaha thinking, Batsman wanted to assist his goal...

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

    Resolute defending, and a strong counter attack. Palace at their best. Good goal.

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Shame that you can't tell which defenders will play!

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

        I've stuck with Mitchell for now. Not getting rid until I actually see him dropped. Roy loves him.

        It is possible PVA plays LM when he's fully fit with Mitchell keeping his spot...

    Imagine all the folks planning their Grealish to Zaha moves right now. RIP

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Did the opposite last week because zaha was doubtful 🙁 would have kept otherwise

        1. DMP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeap. One goal and one assist since then.

    2. George Agdgdgwngo

      No pressing transfers 2.0m itb

      Do I ditch Brewster for Bam Bam?

      Plays every week, Leeds are up for scoring lots of goals. Where as sheff Utd look limited with goals and Brewster has competition for places

      1. Hazz

        Don't think we can recommend that without knowing the rest of your team.

          Martinez

          Saiss, Robbo, Lamptey
          Salah, son, Hamez, Bruno

      Having a nightmare start to the season, never been this low before.

      Martinez Steer

      How would you sort out this mess?

      Thanks

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

      Lookman off the post. Looks really good once again.

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

        Would you take Soucek out for him?

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

          Probably not.

          West Ham's fixtures get good after Liverpool, and Fulham's decline after West Brom.

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

            Thanks

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

          Consider that you'd be dropping Soucek immediately before the good fixtures, when you've kept him through the tough ones.

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

            But is he sort of player to really prosper in easier fixtures?

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

              Sounds like you're looking for an excuse to get rid.

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

                It’s a tough one for sure.

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

              Hes not effected either way by fixtures imo

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

              The more possession West Ham have in the final third, the more crosses they'll put in the box.

              He's not a player that thrives on the counter, he enters the box in the final phase of the attack. So he should do better against easier opponents when West Ham's attacks are able to fully develop more often.

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

                Good reasoning, thanks will keep for now. Just debating what to do with 2FTs

    7. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      BUMFORD speaks French, Got straight A's and a couple of B's in his A levels and turned down an offer to study Business at Harvard. Baller on all fronts.

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

        there is a contradiction in your statement

        but yes he's a rennaisance man

      2. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And plays a few classical instruments

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

        The first time I saw him play was against Aston Villa when he pretended to get punched in the face, writhed on the ground and had El Ghazi sent off as a result. Unbelievable punk move. Could never respect a player like that.

    8. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Have a pretty solid situation for next week, but with 2 FTs, i have to spend at least one, any advice on where?

      Martinez
      TAA/Chilwell/Dallas
      Salah/Son/Pulisic/Grealish
      Wilson/DCL/Jimenez

      Button/Lamptey/Ward/Gordon
      0.5 itb

      Maybe just Wilson > Bamford due to form? (if Callum blanks, of course)

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

      Wilf looks in the mood tonight

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

        Surprisingly yes!

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

        What’s he doing tonight?

    10. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Think it’s time to jump on the Bamford bus. Maupay > Bamford looks an easy switch.

      Yes or no?

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

      Zaha misses absolute sitter...

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

        Was probably going to be shoulder offside anyone

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

      Was that offside anyway?

      El Clasico has been immense.

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

        Only casuals watch el clasico when a PL game is on

        1. Isco Disco
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          You’re a noob and an amateur FPL player...I can see that

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

            And you're a casual fpl manager if you are watching anything other than the PL

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          No FPL pro would think twice about spending the £14.95 'box office' fee.

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years

          You are a bit tiresome with this crap, you do know people can look at your posting history and see what a muppet you are?

      Zaha giving me headaches every season. Grealish Zaha debate here was 95% for Grealish, really foolish from some of you.
