£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.

    Cant believe this game week. Starts so well but then its just a hidden Bruno (C) fail and every casual pick hauling.

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years

      You should go to casuals forum not pro

    I've got this lot playing in gw18 + 2 FT. Any advice what to do?
    City and Utd players too expensive and I'm not keen on Burnley attack at all so I guess I should target Villa players? Wish I hadn't sold Grealish on WC in gw16 now

    A) Bamford & Soucek > Watkins & McGinn
    B) Vardy & Soucek > Watkins & Grealish
    B) Vardy & Soucek > Martial & Traore/El Ghazi/Neto
    C) Bamford > Watkins + save?

    Martinez
    Dias Dier Holding Lowton
    Bruno Son Saka
    + (Salah Vardy Robbo Soucek Adams Bamford Johnstone)

    2. Superflymonk

    Decent FH?
    Leno
    Dias Cancelo/Stones AWB

  21. Sun Jihai

    Palace CS's with Mitchell playing: 2 in 8
    Palace CS's with no Mitchell: 0 in 9

    Stick with him Roy!

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

      He will

  22. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who is more likely to play in GW18. Ampadu or Lewis. Need to burn a transfer. Planning to transfer in Mitchell.

  23. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Does Sheffield Utd look like they can ever score?
    Newcastle defensive double up on FH?

    1. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wilders should have quit when they paid $30M for Brewdog - back in September

      “See ya fools”

      He would be coaching Arsenal in January

    2. Superflymonk

      Wow. Probs, depends iff any of his players have played yet.

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

        He has Aguero (C), Auba and KdB.
        Aurier only player so far but no show

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

          They I should say, shouldn’t assume they’re male

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years

    4. Party time

      McArthur 3
      Tomkins 2
      Ward, Guaita 1

      Both goal scorers and Mitchell zero

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

        Disgraceful

      Sheffield United are the team that keep on delivering for FPL managers this season 😀

    7. tom_p77

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mitchell is 3rd on my bench behind:

      1) balbuena (didnt play)
      2) antonio (scored 1)

      I have Cancelo who is rumoured to be out tomorrow - will Mitchell come in if he doesn't play? (I probably don't deserve the points for lack of knowledge....)

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

        Yes, because you always need 3 defenders

        1. tom_p77
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers - just wanted to make sure if wouldn't nil off.

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

        Yes, you have to field at least 3 defenders so since balbuena out, you will get Mitchell in if noshow Cancelo

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

        Why even have mitchell in your team if you won't play him against the worst attacking team in the league? smh

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

      Would you save your FH if you had this lot after making a few transfers (4pt hit) ahead of the BGW

      Dias Stones Wan-Bissaka
      Son Bruno
      Kane Watkins
