£3.9m defender Mitchell keeps van Aanholt on Palace bench for Gameweek 17

Budget Fantasy Premier League defender Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m) could be a viable asset once more as he starts against Sheffield United this afternoon.

The left-back lost his place to Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) in Gameweek 7 and went nine league matches without registering a single minute before deputising during the Christmas crush of fixtures.

However, Mitchell is making his second successive start in Gameweek 17, suggesting his return to the side was not entirely a result of Roy Hodgson’s festive rotation.

Should the player impress today, he is likely to become a popular asset in the Fantasy community once more considering his price.

James Tomkins (£4.5m) made his first start of the campaign during the Gameweek 16 draw with Leicester and is back for the second time of asking too.

Hodgson has paired him with Cheikhou Kouyaté (£5.0m) at centre-back while Joel Ward (£ returns at right-back, making his third start in five.

Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) joins van Aanholt on the bench as Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m) and Andros Townsend (£5.7m) staff the flanks of midfield either side of Wilfried Zaha (£7.4m) and Christian Benteke (£5.5m).

Interest in Sheffield United players remains extremely low, Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) the most popular at 6.8% ownership.

However, as we have become accustomed too, the former Liverpool man is on the bench today while Oliver Burke (£4.4m) is absent from the matchday squad.

That means the most-fashionable starters for the Blades today are John Egan (£4.7m) and Aaron Ramsdale (£4.7m), selected by just 2.2% and 2.0% respectively.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Tomkins, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, A Townsend; Zaha, Benteke.

Sheffield Utd XI: Ramsdale; Stevens, Egan, Basham; Osborn, Fleck, Norwood, Ampadu, Bogle; Mousset, McGoldrick.

    After using my 2FT (Salah+Lamptey>KDB+Dias), I will have the team below for BGW18. Anybody worth a hit to bring in?

    Martinez
    Dias Dier
    KDB Bruno Son Grealish
    Kane Wilson

    Forster KWP Dallas Coufal Bamford Raphinha
    ~1.1 ITB

    I will bring back Salah and not use BB in DGW19 btw.

      Looks fine, maybe a city def for KWP if you can afford.

      1. Runaway
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I can bring Stones only but then I have to bench Dallas in DGW19.

  2. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Of course my cup opponent has Alderweireld 🙄

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Haha who even has him 😀

    2. I Must Break You

      I hate when that happens

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mine TC'd Bruno.

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oh, and Bruno and Soucek

      I’m out

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Did he get him this week? If yes, that's a shrewd move.

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

    FH this lot? (-4)

    Martinez
    Dias Holding Mitchell
    Bruno Son Grealish KDB
    DCL Brewster

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What would be the difference outside 4 points?

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Mitchell off. I have Dunne atm and want to get rid.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Hardly worth a chip.
          Would you change forwards, defenders etc?
          Guessing the mids wouldn't change much.

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would not

    3. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tbf that looks fine not to FH

    4. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No need to fh that

  4. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best differentials for next 5 gws?

    Sterling, Rashford and ManU defence. Anything else worth considering?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Auba

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

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

      I’m biased, but I like martial. Low ownership and if united click he could explode.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could option but will share gametime with Cavani

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He won’t. He will start and he’s right he could bang he always does well vs Burnley

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Martial will have to play cups now
        Cavani back for the next GW to ruin plans

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He won’t he probably will be City but Greenwood/Ighalo will play ST vs Watford

  5. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone thinking of getting Sterling instead of KdB for the DGW? Just not sure if he's as likely to play both...

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely a bold choice

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking about both even though they are bilge so far this year

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

    Salah >> Kdb/sterl this week 18 and then Kane/Son to Bam/Salah for -4 ?
    Or
    Save transfer and do Kane /Son to Kdb/ Bamford. For free In gwk19 ?

    Meslier
    Cancelo. Diaz. Mitchel. Holding
    Bruno. Grealesh. Son SmithRowe
    Kane. Watkins.
    ///Salah Antonio Ogbonna

    Thanks

  7. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Free hit draft, thoughts?

    Leno
    Dias, Cancelo, Maguire
    Grealish, Bruno, Son, KDB
    Kane, DCL, Wilson

    Macey, Kilman, Mitchell, Smith Rowe

  8. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cup victory basically coming down to mahrez as my rival has him with souceck first on bench! Hopefully he gets a 1 pointer

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

      Now pep has read that he won't bring him on even for a cameo.

  9. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can I get away with not using fh 18? Could do Salah to KDB then get Salah back for -4 over son for dgw?

    Martinez
    Dias Mitchell*
    Bruno Son Grealish KDB?
    Kane DCL

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

    My cup opponent is still on zero points but has Aguero (C), KdB and Auba :O

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How did he qualified is the real question

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

        VC doing his job well.

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

          Yup, Nick Pope his vice and Trent/Robbo saved them

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      AGuero 5 goals incoming.

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

    Would it be too much to ask for a Mitchell assist and Zaha goal?

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

      I'm happy with a CS, so HOLD!

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone going to play Son or Kane (shu) or even both DGW19?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Playing son just can’t let him go

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

    ffs what the hell made me play Holding, TAA and Justin over Mitchell and Cresswell?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Common sense

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

        not so sure about this ... 🙁

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fixture, pedigree and attacking potential.

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

    Benteke grab a goal match Kane points !!

  15. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on whether this is worth a FH

    FH Team - Cancelo, Maguire, Kane, Neto
    Current Team - Mitchell, Grealish, Brewster(-4)

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

    Mitchell nowhere to be seen in the BPS what the hell

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

    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I'm probably going with:

    Darlow
    Dias Stones Wan-bissaka Fernandez (Douglas)
    Grealish KDB Bruno Son (burke)
    Martial Kane (Brewster)

  26. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    *Bottomed
    Does this team look good enuff for the DGW (TC) barring injuries. All players have double apart from sonny and good quality imo.

    Mcc
    Robo Diaz Coufal Dallas
    Mo KDB(TC) Bruno Son Grealish

  27. Pukki Party

    Read somewhere that Ramsdale got most saves from all PL keepers in 2020. Surprised as he never seems to save anything

  28. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow what a goal

  29. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  30. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can I get away without playing FH, don’t think so?

    Martínez
    Stones
    Grealish, Bruno, Son
    Kane, Watkins

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes, main players
