Tyrick Mitchell

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Tyrick Mitchell is a defender for Crystal Palace, age 26, £4.5m. The Premier ranks him 71st overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#57, 155.0 points) with the consensus of 5 other boards (64.0). Last year's Sleeper line ran 7 spots ahead of the expert/FPL mix. The third list keeps some of that production bump and refuses to throw the other boards out. That is the whole point of not just republishing The Pitch.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 36 starts and 3253 minutes, 1 goals and 3 assists, 12 clean sheets, 47 goals against, 100 tackles and 145 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 135 points (3.6 per match) with 8 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 155.0. Defenders get 10 a goal, 7 an assist, 6 a clean sheet, and −2 a goal against. CBI at 0.4 and tackles at 1 are how a centre-back cracks the overall 50.

Underlying: 1.59 xG, 2.53 xA, 4.12 xGI. The defensive events are the floor: 100 tackles, 145 clearances/blocks/interceptions, 12 shutouts. Sleeper is built to notice that. ICT and xGI boards are not, which is why a centre-back's spread on this board is usually ugly and still informative. The friendliest board is Premier League Scout Club Picks at 8; the coldest is FPL xGI at 128.

Market: £4.5m, 10 boards on the file. That is leftover money for a Premier-ranked name. If the minutes hold, this board already voted. FPL's own EP-next is 1.7. ICT 136.0.

Instruction: deep-league starter, shallow-league watchlist. The 2025/26 line got him onto the 400. A role change gets him off it. Watch minutes, not vibes. Nearby on The Premier: Marcus Tavernier, Adrien Truffert, James Garner. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #57), the hybrid moves him down to #71. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 26, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age defenders get ranked on what they just did and whether Crystal Palace still gives them the ball. 3253 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£4.5m) is the app's guess at whether that continues. The Premier is the blend of that guess and the box score.

Full-backs and centre-backs separate on this board by attacking events. 1 goals and 3 assists are how a defender outruns his GA column. Without those, you are betting 12 clean sheets and the CBI stream (145) against 47 goals against at −2 a piece. Crystal Palace's 2026/27 defensive shape is therefore half of this player's rank. The other half already happened, across 36 starts.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #57 there). The Premier is the 50/50 with every other board we track. Attack, Midfield, Defence, and Keepers re-rank the same Sleeper table by position. BK Value on this page follows The Premier when you are on the hybrid calculator and The Pitch when you are on the Sleeper calculator. Same curve either way - 12,000 at 1.01. 6 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
