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.

    Imagine dropping Zaha to get Grealish last GW... 😐

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I get picking him over zaha, not sure I would have removed zaha if already owned him with those fixtures

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish could have had a haul last night.just bad luck.

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

      Imagine owning either. Pure trash

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

        Brought Zaha in on wildcard this week, with their fixtures and so much play coming through him it was a no brainer.

    1. Piggs Boson

      Red was a little harsh imo. Accidental.

    AK47 hunning down Fulhams chance of a goal

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

      Who and why are they called AK47 btw?

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

        Aboubakar Kamara, shirt number 47

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

        Kamara chose 47 as his shirt number as his initials are AK

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

          Ahhhhh I see, thanks

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Chilwell and James both OOP and wing backs. Great choice by Lampard

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

      Havertz striker and Werner wing very great choice by Lampard. Has no idea

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

        Why is that a bad idea?

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

        I think Havertz on the left?

    Premier league refs have to be up there with the worst in the world....no idea how to use VAR, had the decision right the first time and felt he had to change it because they asked him to look. No way that’s a red

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

      EPL is ruined by the worst refs, but just have a look for what Sergio Ramos got a penalty against Barca... Sad to say it, but VAR is a cancer

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

      He was going for ball, no way that's red

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

      It was a red all day.

  6. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Clumsy red card

  7. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mata to boss the game tonight.

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

    Mitchel first on the bench. I am set if anyone doesn't play.

    I think it's 3rd time he delivers on my bench or so

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

      Same except I have no chance he comes on for me. He never nets when I start him. I dared not double palace today so I benched him.

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

    PVA on pens right?

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

      Zaha has done well on pens and Milivojevic on pitch so no

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

    Guess I'm holding on to Reece James another week.

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

      Why?

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

      I'm tempted myself, as Chilwell is who might replace him... but there's always the chance he drops out again next week.

      The extra £ Chilwell costs might be worth it for the peace of mind.

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

      Will be back on the bench next week

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

        It's not a guarantee that he is but therin lies the problem.

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

          Won't be playing 5 at the back every week

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

      Hmm he’s still a massive rotation risk. Playing today because of the 3/5 at the back which I don’t think they’ll play normally

  11. villa_til_i_die

    14 jorghino points on bench a few weeks ago, 17 Bamford points on bench this week. Those 30+ points would be so nice. Bench is killing me this season.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I had 43 in one week last season!

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

      I mean you benched bamford against the worst team in the country

  12. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fulham are absolutely hopeless.

  13. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fulham are horrendous

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    C'mon Timooo, let's goo!!

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

    Zaha disallowed goal

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

      Would have been a PVA assist

  16. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    RM 3-1 Barca

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      RM was terrible against Shaktar... How do they beat Barca?

      1. NULL-X-VOID
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Barca is worse atm

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

        Barca are terrible too

      3. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        By playing better

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

        They played the B team against Shakhtar. Took the game lightly. Zidane was focussing on the bigger picture...El Clasico

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

      Modric goal to make it 3-1 was class composure

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

    Come on Mitchell, keep that bap!

  18. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Croatian Joe Allen G

  19. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wtf that replay showed no offside on that 3rd Palace goal?

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

      Yea that was weird why they didn't check car anyway

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

      That freezeframe was not correct. The passer delayed his pass. And he was thus offside

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

    What was wrong with that Zaha goal? Is it not VARs job to look at it?

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

      PVA was offside.

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

        Watched the replay, and im not so sure about that. Would like VAR to use their lines and armpit measuring on that one.

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

      yea ridiculous that!!

  21. Autopick XI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I got PVA in on a wildcard last week but it looks like it’s Mitchell’s spot to lose now. Total of 1 point over last 2 GWs.
    Sell or keep hold?
