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

    So played my WC dropped Salah and BSilva got in David Silva. I get feeling Salah gonna go mad get 4 goals and make my last 4 games weeks pointless.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Why didn't you give Salah one more week, though?!

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I went for balance also got rid of Mendy

    2. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling. Can't believe everyone has overlooked him.

  2. FPL Touches

    Puel you slut!

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

      1. FPL Touches
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Pereira.

        1. GinjaWhinja
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Blessing in disguise. You can swap for Holebas next week.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

    Just seen Wilfried Zaha have to leave the prematch warmup to receive attention for what looked like a shoulder injury. He didn’t look happy

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      WHY

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Right, this is just such bollocks

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Like actually fook off.
        Biggest differential in my H2H’s you have to be kidding

    3. Fantastisk

      Cat. Pigeons.

  4. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    All the media hated Mitro at Newcastle and now he’s darn sarf they all love him

    1. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Stupid comment. He has scored a load goals = good press. He was barely playing at Toon = bad press.

  5. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Triple bad news on David silva benching.
    1) miss his points
    2) who the hell is going to create for (k)Un
    3) now peltier comes off the bench. Why are you playing this week, peltier? Minus points incoming.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If Peltier he’s minus points then Kun has hauled so stop whining

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm, other people can score though. Think it will end up as more of a wingers game without David.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      silver 1 pointer off the bench?

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That's the dream 🙂

    3. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He'll get 20-25 mins I suppose.

    4. LD
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      City are a fluid attacking team, Dilva isn’t the only one that creates

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        With Mendy out, Sane's gonna run riot.

      2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm, I'd be worried about who is going to play those balls through to the wingers though for their cutbacks.

        I'm feeling grumpy, please don't detract from that with reason :p

  6. Neevesy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    BPS Capoue

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mitro monster numbers again 😮

  8. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Frantically checks if Westwood 2nd sub started

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yay! He did!

  9. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha -> Mitrovic for a -4?

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wait.

    2. olidooley
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It’s a new GW. You have a free transfer

      1. Stokelona
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Unless he’s already used it!

    3. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jam if Zaha really is out
      ...premature joy if he’s not

  10. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Not sure if I ever saw non-defender player with no attacking returns with 3 bonuses.

    But that match was a masterpiece for Capue.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep bonus system works

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        If it did Doucoure would get some

    2. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Kante during Leicesters title year. It is very usually all right though.

      1. Halftime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Autocorrect fail, it's unusual I meant to say.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Gross masterclass at OT last year.

      Low quality game, CM completed his passes, didn't lose possession = BAPs.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Gross got 3 bps in some game last year with no attacking returns.

      1. Ramboros
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Against United.

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes yes, right

    5. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Assume that the caveat is that the match had goals (wasn’t 0-0)
      ...it is rare, but can & has happened

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, especially when there are goals

  11. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    The Baps system may be flawed but at least it is transparent

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Is this an assist jab?

  12. Busterroo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha injured during warmup. Went down the tunnel holding his upper back

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He’ll be fine

      1. Busterroo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He’s back out on the pitch now. Still holding his back, he’ll be fine alright I reckon.

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      How can you hold your upper back

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    With the news above, who do Zaha owners have coming on from the bench?

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Billing

    2. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Boly!

    3. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Tomkins.

    4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pedro, Westwood, Bennett.

    5. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mendy

    6. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hughes, who has 6 points, so not the worst thing

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        only 5 I think as so many have 2 baps.

    7. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No one as I have Dunk in for Pereria and AWB covering Mendy. May well hit WC if rest of weekend goes like this.

    8. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      People have subs this week?!

    9. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      would be billing but Zaha seems fine now

  14. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    now lets see how bad my Silva to pogba non move punish me.

  15. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Great... first Tomkins injured in warmup, now Zaha apparently. Bloody great.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Were they doing the Aussie cricket team warm up?

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Really? What mad warm ups does Roy make them do?!?

    3. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      WTF Tomkins too?

    4. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Tomkins injured?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No that was last month. Poster just drawing it in as evidence

    5. Monya Meow Meow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think he meant previously re Tomkins

  16. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ahhhh Mark Hughes... the most uninspiring manager within the Premier League

  17. LSP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Licking my lips at the thought of Mitrovic against Everton next week. An added bonus if that backline is still injury ravaged.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Should end about 6-6

    2. BON
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mitrovic doesn't believe in added bonuses.

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Also Richarlison v Fulham.Should be a cracker.

  18. Patty
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    "Zaha is back out and doing exercises one-on-one with a trainer while the rest of the team does passing drills"

  19. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If Zaha misses this match, time to ditch him.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He’s out once I downgrade Salah to someone. He’ll go up to a 10/11m striker I think.

  20. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha had a problem but is now ok and will play - BBC 5 Live sport.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      5 points guaranteed then.

  21. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Target OOP LW?

  22. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Pereira transfer went well.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Feel your pain. Is that him out of the team then from now on?

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No idea. I was trying to be too clever, second guessing the Chilwell mob. Cover for Mendy, now covered by Wan-Bissaka. Waste of a transfer, I suppose. Could be worse.

    2. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      kept Davies and now Davies --> Pereira

  23. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wow mitro up to 2 bonus 🙂

  24. aborg
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    and another Holebas fail !! Thanks for nothing Mitrovic...Holebas was on 3bps before goal ! 🙁

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mitro will prob drop to 1 BAP...

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Hes now on 4 YC's too.

    3. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Should have had an assist but for poor finishing and is still on all set pieces. Still decent value

  25. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha shoulder injury? Was he practising his diving?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Carrying too many chips

    2. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Newcastle players will target that after his comments last week even if he gets out.

  26. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Yeah someone mentioned FFS' coverage of lineup news and here's my opinions. Not criticising just suggesting 🙂

    -Firstly it should contain all the benches not just the Starting XI.
    -Also it should be a hot topic instantly - makes it really easy to find. I know sometimes it gets turned green but doesn't become a hot topic? The pages move fast so unless it appears on Hot Topic it's hard to find.
    -Also all lineups should be done in one tweet rather than several for each team.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      FFS itself doesn't do the the 'coverage', the users do. I prefer it this way, more organic.

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That's fine also - just make it a hot topic so i can get to it quickly and not search for it 🙂

  27. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If Salah fails again it’s an easy FT out at least

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      for who? if got haza

      1. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Son.

  28. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mitro 2 baps

    1. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Can it still change?

  29. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who was it that sourly said Mitro bonus points are gone? haha

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      This is how it works:
      Mitro no bonus= BAPS system bad
      Mitro bonus= nothing wrong with the BAPS system

  30. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would love my Sane punt to get some double digits now especially with my other City mid benched.
