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.

    Egan to Chilwell this week looks like a nobrainer.

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

      Should have been done 3 weeks ago

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

        Had more pressing transfers

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

    Where is PVA playing since he came on, given that Clyne at RB was subbed off?!

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

      left back, mitchell switched to right

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

      LB. Mitchell has been shifted to RB.

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

    Good PVA coming on for a blank, while Kilman sitting on first bench, if wouldn't have played Dallas CS teed up. Well Roy just killed my GW.

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

      Was hoping Mitchell off!
      Clyne hardly played so spose he was obvious one for pva
      Clyne cs though! Fpl for ya !

  4. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lovely, chilwell at lwb.

    Come on chels!!!

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

    If only I had 1 extra transfers every week to transfer in defender against Fulham

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

    With Zaha bringing points, a Mitchell cleanie would be absolutely insane for me. Is it time to spam HOLDDDDD yet? 😀

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Clean sheet already confirmed mate 😉

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

        Let's hope so...

        "POINTS BETWEEN YOU AND TOP10K 1"

        Nosebleed territory

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

    Remember when Mitrovic scored 2 against Leeds. I remember

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

    Don't tell me this means Werner is on the wing again. F off Lampard

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

      I think Werner will drop left and Havertz will come up center with Puli covering the right and coming in center

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

      Lampard has no clue what he is doing frankly

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

        Neither does Ole to be fair. Battle of the clueless managers

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          yeah, looked pretty clueless at PSG on Tuesday didn't he

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

            Mate I'm a United fan but don't get why Greenwood, Tuanzebe, VDB, Telles are all on the bench

            1. Mambino
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              me too - but I'm trying to keep the faith

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

          True, like two drunks scrapping

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

        I see what you did there.

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

          😀

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

      If it's 3-5-2 I would have thought Werner and Pulisic up front, centrally, with Havertz the #10 and the most forward of the five in midfield.

    4. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Werner at left wing back to feed Chilwell as he attacks

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

    how is kouyate not listed as defender

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't think so

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

        He's the only nailed palace CB, who would even buy him at all if he was a mf.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Never mind, reply fail from me

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

    Mitchel looks as nailed as it can be

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

      I’d nail him

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

      The new AWB

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

        Man U will pay 50 mil for him and try get him to hit crosses into the box when he is useless at it?
        Sounds about right

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

      With Clyne coming in are you sure?

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

        This.

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

      Ferguson

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

    That Chelsea line up is quality. I won’t talk about United’s

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I can talk about United. That lineup does not look quality.

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

        People were saying that before PSG.

        Fred, McTominay, Bruno, Mata tend to work well together - when Mata comes inside they'll make a strong diamond. Then Rashford and James' pace ahead of them.

        Should be a good game.

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          When does Mata ever play with those names? He is bench fodder mainly.

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            he's been one of their best players so far this season

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

            Not often, mainly in cups. But he has amazing linkup with Bruno whenever they've played together.

            1. Tinkermania
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              He was awesome against Luton

              1. Tinkermania
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                This match is the MATA derby, so he could be fired up.

    2. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like it should be, but hasn’t been yet

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

      Mata is still decent

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not decent enough for Ole. No teams interested either.

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

    Van de Beek must be thinking 'WTF'. Cannot get a start, with Mata, Fred and James ffs ahead of him.

    Must be wondering why he bothered signing and why Man U went and bought him.

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

      It must hurt to be that far down the pecking order

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

      His agent has made the same claim.

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

    Wait a min has Mitchell shifted to RB to accommodate PVA as LB?

    If that's true then I don't think he's nailed, Clyne would take a priority at RB and PVA would be at LB

  14. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lads, in which minute of injury time will Palace concede? I have Mitchell so want to prepare myself mentally for the let down.

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

      92

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      6th minute

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I was minute out with my prediction - obviously losing my touch

    3. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’d usually say ‘bloody hell how did you predict that?’

      But this season just keeps giving doesn’t it, awfully unlucky.

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same. I 100% knew this would happen

  15. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mahrez owners, what are you doing with him?

  16. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Got a headache to bring in Chilwell into my Def...

    TAA, Digne, Saiss, Lamptey, Mitchell

    Seems I don't want to give up anyone...

    1. Tired and weary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would drop Digne of that bunch

  17. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years

    Cmon Fulham get some late jam in

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

    2 game weeks ago, grealish over zaha seemed an easy choice

    3pts v 23pts

    Sod this season

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

      Stay positive. Grealish will score more than Zaha if you keep faith

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

        Not sure he will

  19. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Van de Bench....

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's so unlucky not to start.

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

        He must be livid......join Utd to sit on a bench with Poggers....

  20. Hazz

    Twitter lineups aren't a bible, but here's the lineup for the Sevilla match, where Werner started CF.

    https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1318616680411680771?s=19

    Here's the lineup for today.

    https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1320024752673738753?s=19

    Havertz is listed in the position where Werner was for the CF.

    In all. Honesty it'll be fluid regardless, but Havertz may be playing the CF role today?

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

      I have the same thought. Werner would drop left.

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

      Lampard is a troll and a clown

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

    Fulham still whipping boys, I thought they improved

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

      relegation for sure

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

    Got to be a red card

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

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

  25. ivantys
    • 3 Years

  28. Steve The Spud

    3 bps confirms for Zaha

  29. Tony Two Tone
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    James on the right of the three behind Werner? It might be a one off given that Ziyech will be hoping to cement his place there, but interesting none the less.

  30. denial
