£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.

    need Holding to get a cleanie too!!

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This so much but not happening

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Even as an Arsenal fan, I'll be gutted to miss out on another cleanie since I own Gabriel and sold Bellerin before the cleanie last GW.

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

      Bellerin A and CS pls.

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes please!

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

    Yuk, so many jammy bench points this week. None for me as usual,

    Martinez
    Dallas Coufal Holding
    Salah KDB Bruno Son Grealish
    DCL Bamford
    Johnstone KWP Taylor Brewster

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

      Your bench doesn't even have points

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Haha nope

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

      I feel you. You should probably have more dodgy picks in your starting 11 and strong bench

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

      Power 5 + Bamford + Martinez + 8 fodder

  3. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How did Sheffield United become this bad? Surely can't be all Ramsdale's fault?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I was wondering this

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

      Lundstram sindrom

    3. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You'd be surprised at how much confidence a team gets from a solid goalkeeper. Feel like the Sheffield defence don't trust Ramsdale at all.

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

      Strikers who can't score

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Jack O'Connell injury the biggest one - last season weakish going forwards but rock solid in defence

      More impacted by fans than other teams I think

      Mousset injury and Lundstram contract situation (both were involved in a high % of goals last season)

      Poor recruitment over summer (Ramsdale, Brewster etc.)

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

      Didn’t strengthen in key areas during pre season and difficult fixtures at the start of the season killed them

  4. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    With Kilman benched, just need Neto (16% TSB) to keep quiet and our rank won't hurt much from this game. Brighton/Wolves players very low owned.

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

      How did Neto become that highly owned wtf

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I know, very surprising. I think when he was at 5.5m lots of people jumped on.

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

          "pro pundits" hyped him up

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

    If I use my FT now and play my FH for GW18 will my FT stick, or will it be revoked going in to GW19?

    Feel I should know this given how long I’ve been playing this game, but confused.com

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Becomes part of the FH, so you lose it

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I feared that was the case. Thanks for clarifying

  6. C_G
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mitchell is closing in on those BAPs

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

  7. Dog and Fox
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    66 with robbo, holding and salah left, has to be green arrows, right? It's been a long time since last time, so i hope it's approved to boast!

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

      Pretty average score here

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Yep, congrats mate

      1. Dog and Fox
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Dias or Cancelao

        1. TyroneGAA
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Aww man

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No chance Mitchell actually plays next week when I need him is there?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He will play. He's been superior to PvA defensively and Palace fans love him. Woy will stick with him.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Winning team rule

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

        Lol just noticed your name. Love it.

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

      Good chance he does with a cleanie here

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

      As said last week, Mitchell will keep his place now. Roy really rates him (as do we)

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Quick turnaround in games meant I didn't do enough research really. Should have started him regardless as a cameo was always unlikely.

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

    Kilman benched. Hopefully he doesn't come on and I get 'jammy' Coufal points to stun the haters.

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

      He could come on, that Wolves bench is filled with names I never see before.

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

        Yeah wouldn't be surprised but fingers crossed.

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

    Come on Didzy, do your thing!

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

    could do with neto somehow not playing

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

    Guaita trying so hard to get booked for time wasting

  13. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Have a strong feeling Holding is gonna score tonight, I even put a small bet on it.

  14. TorresMagic™

    3 - McArthur (28)
    2 - Ward, Tomkins (22)

      Mitchell fail

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

        3.9m fail 😀

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

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

      1 goal from Mitchell is a 9 pointer!

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zero points for Eze's wonder goal and McArthur gets 3 for assisting it! 😀

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

      0?

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

      Who gets the 1 BAP then?

      1. djman102
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If two share 2 there isn't one.

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

          Ah of course

    7. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Depends on who you want to bring in instead

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm planning on Kane to Vardy and Son to KDB looking at Spurs' fixtures long term but I am a bit loathe to rid of Son

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

    Sub Mitchell off Roy ffs

  17. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What to do here for he 18? Do I need to FH?

    Martinez
    Taylor Holding
    KDB Bruno Son Grealish
    DCL Brewster
    Johnstone Bamford Salah KWP Coufal Dallas

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

      Who are you missing that you want?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kane Rashford Dias etc

  18. Sherif halawa
    • 5 Years

    Nothing worse than getting brewester than getting him an autosub every week

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

    Ward blocking the Guaita save damn

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

    Looks like it's going to be a late, late goal then to deny us jammy mitchell owners a CS

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      this.

  21. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can someone please clarify for me as I always forget how exactly EO works, Salahs EO for my rank is 96%, so any points he scores wont hurt me right?

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

      Correct

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

      Yes, but it depends at the EO at your current ranking.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you have him, yep. His points are pretty much irrelevant (and slightly negative if he assists or is assisted by players like Robbo who are well owned)

    4. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you have him

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

      Hardly any change.
      Still need to compare to top 10K/100K ownership as that's your likely goal.

    6. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thinking of preserving my FH, this good enough for the blank week?

    Martinez
    Dias - Mitchell (Robbo, Coufal, Dallas)
    El Ghazi - Grealish - KdB - Bruno (Raphinha)
    Kane - Wilson (Bamford)

    Much will depend, of course, on which City players are out...

          Goes to the halfway stage I believe. For villa their 19th game is in GW20, so if hes booked in that he'll be banned for Gw21. Yellows don't carry over from FA Cup
