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.

    Lookman off the other post. He looks so dangerous...

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

    Mitrovic missing open goals now. I thought it couldn't get worse than last week, but here we are.

    How long do you think Kilman keeps his place for?

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

      Until he plays well and they continue to have clean sheets.

    So how was City game affecting fantasy players? How many of them own Foden? And how many went with Aguero and Sterling who blanked?

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

      Only have Foden, so went alright for me.

      1. Essan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        me too

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

      I’ve been thinking about bringing in a defender. I was all set on Dias. Wondering if Cancelo might be an option instead.

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

        I'm considering him after today's performance

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

    I was trying to find a good patch of fixtures on the ticker where I'd bring in Lookman, but I can't see a good time.

    Fulham never play Fulham, so their fixtures don't look as good as the other teams...

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They wont play Fulham every week

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

      When he first joined Everton we saw glimmers of what he could do. Was a shame he couldn't cement a spot - thought he'd do. Potential of of Pienaar

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ended up more like Royston Drenthe

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

          Wow, that brings back memories. I think I jumped on that crappy bandwagon 😆

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

        I heard he was fantastic on loan at Leipzig. Why wasn't he given a chance when he returned?

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Don't think he was right for us - hard to fit into that team, although would have rather seen him off bench over Iwobi/Walcott in recent years.

  9. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I can't wait to get rid of Mitrovic. Going to take some discipline to keep for WBA.

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

      Same. I will keep for WBA but I cannot wait to get rid. Been stinking up my team for too long. Horrific form and Fulham can't serve him.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Are West Brom sh1t at defending?

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

          yes, they're the whipping boys of the league

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            They signed Ivanovic

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

      Same situation. Going to have to hold him. He's been a total disaster.

  10. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitrovic, Sterling & Martinez. This will be a schocker. Will be lucky to get positive points

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    Whenever I try to be clever FPL punishes me. What to do with PvA? Roy doesn’t seem to rate him. Need to ship right?

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He has just returned from a pretty bad injury. His time will come im sure

  12. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Will Mitrovic ever score again?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      no

  13. Drogo

    Sorry everyone for jinxing Mitro. I've had him since gw1

          ?? the point was you had him since GW1. Jinx's are reserved for when you bring someone in that a lot of people have and was doing well prior...

  14. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah cap hattie and TAA assist plus CS needed tonight....

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes please, punish those sellers!

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not seeing it tbh

  15. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    how did KDB play when he came on guys?

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

      Wasn't at his sharpest but still a class above everyone else. Created a massive change that Mahrez wasted

    2. Offside Trapattoni
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A few nice moments, I want to bring him back but with Aguero potentially out, I still prefer Sterling at the 9.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        ‘Still prefer sterling’ lol

        1. Offside Trapattoni
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          If Cancelo could use his left it's a tap in for Raheem..

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

    Night and day difference in how Zaha has looked so far compared to Brighton. Very involved and lively

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Palace are gash at home tbh

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

      Brighton's defence is underrated. They were also set up nicely to deal with the Palace counter attacks with 3 CBs. They always had 3 CBs back to deal with Palace's 2 forwards, so the counter attacks kept failing.

      That pen shouldn't have been given. Felt robbed as a Lamptey owner.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Lamptey deserves a CS for sure, and a an attacking return would be nice

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

    Odds on Mitchel gets YC and subbed at 59 mins.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nooo we want him on for Rodriguez 🙂

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you say this

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Because I started him. I figure I may as well try to bluff fate at this point. Not a lot else working.

    4. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hope not as that probably means PVA coming on ... my best hope is a CS, no PVA appearance and for Kilman to not play

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

        Maybe Clyne will be the one subbed , hasn’t played for over a year?

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

    Mitrovic is absolutely terrible. Elite tier Championship striker but cannot hack it in the PL. After WBA he is never to return to my team.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's already hacked it in the PL before

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Think that a lot of people have Mitro based on his previous PL season and avoid Bamford for the same reason

  19. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Such a shame Antonio is an injury doubt, would have brought him in for Liverpool, without Van Dijk could see him outmuscling them

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same but well I will leave it late and see what happens, maybe he will be fit. I have wood, worst case wood vs Chelsea probably isn’t bad

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

        He is injury doubt.?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

          In general

    2. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years

      Looking after pool game to be honest, good fuxtures after that
      W ham as done well in recent tricky fixtures to !

  21. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    Need a Delap replacement?

    Brewster

    Bamford

    Waiting for Pool game to see Brewster

  22. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kouyatè our best CB now I reckon.

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

      He's been playing there for his country for years

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

      Where is Ward??

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

    I hate refs who give fouls for players who have handled the ball to force the foul. Cowards.

  24. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need PVA to come on at the hour mark and Mitchell hooked.

  25. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do i want Mitchell CS or Mitrovic goal?

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

      Depends if you own them or not

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You can aim to have both, Mitchell subbed after 60 minutes then mitro goal

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

    Come oooon Zaha, we want more we ewnt more 111

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      !!!

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      1 too many

  27. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How about this for a sub, Hertha Berlin player came on as a sub for the 2nd half only to be sent off at 50 minutes mark after 2 yellow cards.

    There must few guys screaming scheisse right now 🙂

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

      Still not as good as the Steven Gerrard special.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jonathon Woodgate debut for Real Madrid was pretty special 🙂

  28. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Joe Bryan being priced at 5.0 is the biggest joke in fpl

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

      Probably a kindness from FPL, as it puts off people who saw the play-off antics.

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably all because of that play off final as well

  29. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitchell is so bad on baps but for 4.2 you could do worse.. Shame he's first on me bench

  30. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    PVA + DCL => TAA + Bamford for 2FTs is too sideways?
