Updated 20 September 2026 after Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace.
Tyrick Mitchell’s FPL case improved without an official attacking return. Crystal Palace kept their first clean sheet of the season and Mitchell had a goal disallowed because of an offside earlier in the move.
That gives two useful signals: Palace defence finally produced a shutout, and Mitchell is still arriving in attacking positions.
The clean sheet matters
One 0-0 does not turn Palace into an elite defence, but it proves Richards, Canvot, Mitchell and the goalkeeper can return together.
The disallowed goal matters too
Disallowed goals are not FPL points, but they are role evidence. Mitchell reaching a scoring position reinforces the attacking wing-back profile.
Latest FPL news
Chilwell competition remains real
The previous article highlighted Ben Chilwell. That concern has not disappeared. Mitchell can be a good FPL role while still carrying some minutes competition.
GW6: Nottingham Forest at home
This is the biggest reason to keep him. Forest just lost 1-0 at home to Coventry, while Palace arrive with fresh clean-sheet evidence.
Mitchell vs Richards/Canvot
Mitchell has more attacking upside. The centre-backs have stronger DefCon floors and potentially safer central minutes. This is ceiling versus floor.
Mitchell vs Bogle
Bogle goes to Arsenal while Mitchell hosts Forest. That makes Mitchell more attractive for GW6 even if Bogle has stronger season-long points.

BUYABLE if expected minutes look secure after the international break.
OneFPL verdict
Mitchell is no longer only an attacking differential. Palace now have a clean-sheet result to add to the case, while the disallowed goal shows his ceiling remains higher than a basic centre-back route.
