Fulham take on Watford at Craven Cottage as Gameweek 6 gets underway at 12:30 BST, with three players on show who can boast a double-digit ownership.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.9m), Jose Holebas (£4.9m) and Roberto Pereyra (£6.3m) are owned by 24.3%, 19.6% and 16.7% of Fantasy Premier League bosses respectively and all three start – as expected – in the lunch-time encounter in west London.

Watford indeed are unchanged for the sixth match on the spin, while Slavisa Jokanovic has made two alterations to his Fulham starting XI, both of which come in defence: Denis Odoi (£4.5m) and Cyrus Christie (£4.4m) make way for Calum Chambers (£4.4m) and Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) respectively.

Ryan Sessegnon‘s (£6.2m) much-hyped Fantasy potential continues to diminish, as the youngster lines up “out of position” at left-back for the second week in a row.

Only Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) has had more efforts on goal than Mitrovic (20) this season, but no FPL forward can match the Serbian’s tally of ten shots on target.

The Cottagers might find it hard to break down their visitors this afternoon, however: only two clubs have allowed fewer shots on target than the Hornets, who rank fourth for least amounts of efforts on goal conceded in 2018/19.

No FPL defender has created as many chances, registered more assists or fired over as many crosses as Holebas this season, meanwhile.

Fulham XI (4-3-3): Bettinelli; Fosu-Mensah, Mawson, Chambers, Sessegnon; Seri, McDonald, Johansen; Schurrle, Mitrovic, Vietto

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra; Deeney, Gray

    Feel sorry for anyone who went with triple Fulham defence on wildcard. 😆

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Surely nobody did that

    2. Rsforstar
      • 8 Years

      *on new account

  2. NABIL - FPL otai

    First time owning Mitro here. For a hit. Nervy times..

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Same, Arnie-Mitro

  3. Differential C (Mark)
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Fulham full-on attack activates. Come on Mitro!

  4. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    The 4-4-2 suits mid-table sides well. They keep it tight at the back, and hit on the counter. 43.6% possession this season. Watford using the Leicester model to great effect.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Watford play a narrow one too. No natural wingers. Seems to work welll

    2. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Watford are in the top 4. Not midtable. 😉

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    8 years, 3 days ago

    Aguero(C)vs Fulham locked

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      That ship sailed

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    I would laugh at Fulham defence, but this place would ban me for it, so...

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Imagine owning Fulham defenders 🙂

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        You wouldn't though - no clean sheets and no prospects of any.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Pretty sure Mark owns their other goalkeeper

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Maybe try something like 'laughing out loud at Fulham defence' 😛

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        They’ll ban for that too. Remember some guy saying his lmao post was deleted too. Ridiculous site these days.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Get off it then

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            After your embarrassing “value” post, I wouldn’t bother commenting mate 😀

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 days ago

              Only thing embarrassing is your history in FPL

        2. Oven Glover
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          And yet, posting false lineups doesn’t get people banned. It’s a joke.

        3. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Didn't know that. They really seem to be a little too officious.

    3. Dokdok666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      It is possible to express ridicule by using many other words than the childish "LOL" that some seem to prefer

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Variations of laughing are deleted too, as I said above. Not sure which variations exactly, but even the mods aren’t clear about it.

  7. aborg
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Wow Watford scored after just over a min

  8. Point-one short
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Come on Mitro, time to score

  9. Rsforstar
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    i got the wrong watford forward it seems lol. reason i got one is this fulham defence, so tempting

  10. Texas Pete
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Predictions:

    Watford will concede.
    Mitro won't score.

  11. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Score check

    9 from 2. Any good?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Red arrow as other games don't matter

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        And once again in english please?

  12. aborg
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Basically for me Salah is the key to take me undisputedly on top of my mini league table if he hauls since nearly all of my rivals have Hazard and not Salah !

  13. Camzy
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    *Checks who Fulham play next* - Richarlison IN

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Salah > Richarlison next gw.

    1. BON
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Same as me.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Got R in for Mkhi this week with next few GWs in mind.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Huh?

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    I guess the Joe Bryan purchase for Fulham hasn't worked out too well.

  16. Podge
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Who scored for Watford?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Gray

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Hughes assist

  17. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Chambers has been stealing a living for years, not sure how Saints got so much cash for him

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Was a decent RB back then, but his mangers kept playing him CB.

      1. Rsforstar
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        +1

  18. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Have no one in this, so left debating the important fantasy aspects of who would win in a fight between Deeney and Mitrovic

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Deeney flattens everyone in the PL.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Don't know. Growing up in Serbia is sure to toughen you up a bit.

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Id bet a house on Deeney.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Deeney

    4. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mitrovic by first round ko via headbutt.

    5. FlockofSeagulls
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I'd back the Serb.

  19. Francescoli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    the columns holding up the stand at Craven Cottage must be frustrating for those who buy tickets to the game

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      More fustrating if the columns were removed and they were all crushed under the roof.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Hahaha

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        😆

  20. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Grey G
    Hughes A

    2. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Apologises, my entirely legal stream is a bit slow

  21. Texas Pete
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Am I seeing things or does Holebas have Cholevas on his shirt?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      He does. It's his name.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      his real name is jose cholevas

    3. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      His actual name is apparently José Lloyd Cholevas

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Lloyd?! Lol!

    4. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Always bugged me this. There should be standardised rules on which name you have on your shirt.

    5. Texas Pete
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      FPl have a character limit then?

    6. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      It would make more sense if his lastname is actually Cholevas.. It sounds more Greek to me.. He was born in Germany from Greek father and Uruguyan (damn i am sure i got the spelling wrong) mother. His Greek must be limited as i have never seen him chanting the national anthem when he was playing for the national team.

  22. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Watford are looking like they could be one of the story's of the season.

    At this rate they will be gunning for that UFEA cup slot.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      It'll never last!

      1. FC Barkerlona
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Leicester says hi

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      They'll do a Leicester

    3. Camzy
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I think Wolves are better.

  23. Differential C (Mark)
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    All those defensive signings
    Rico
    Fabri
    Fosu Mensah
    Bryan
    Le Marchand
    Mawson
    Chambers
    Seri

    Hasn't gone so well, has it?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      They were never going to be that team

  24. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hughes seems like a nice option but don't like 3-5-2 with all the cheap fwd scoring

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Wondering who's the Vardy and who's the Okazaki between Deeney and Gray.

  25. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Sessegnong not classified as a def blessing in disguise for us FPL players...

  26. Make United Great Again
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Big chance for Fulham. Lots goals in this!!

  27. BIind Moth
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    If I was still a betting man, I'd have money on Watford to score again before HT.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Both will. At least 5 goals over 90 in this.

  28. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitrovic not much liked by the refs :/

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      He comes from Serbia
      He'll f*cking murder ya

  29. Waltomade
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    trippier or doherty for Mendy??

    1. Óró Sé…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I’m going Doherty. Bank the 2.2m (for me) for a midfield upgrade next week

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Tripps

  30. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Watford are going to get to 40 points in record time, and then lose every game for the rest of the season

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Pulis has dibs on that strategy, but yeah, something like it.
