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

    I should have played Holebas over Mitro, Fulham are awful.

    1. polis

      Takes a second for that to change. Relax.

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years

      Not even played the first half yet

    I did a stupid -4 move taking out Arnautovic and bringing in Mitrovic. Have very strong feeling it will backfire.

    1. BIG TONES

      Its only been 40 mins, posts like this are cancer

        I hope you are right. It was probably still a bad move since I need Mitrovic to score and Arnie to blank. I know you have to look a few GW forward, but its a bad start so far. And if Arnie scores and Mitrovic blanks, well.... no comment.

    2. Critical Observer

      Such moves usually do.

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

      Will come good next 4 gameweeks

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

      Not stupid. Good move for next few weeks.

  3. The Mandalorian

    8 years, 3 days ago

    Watford bossing this game, Fulham only 1 shot on goal.

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

      Not that surprising considering Watford have conceded the 3rd least shots on target in the league

  4. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Glad I held on to Walcott. One goal tomorrow and a brace next week

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

      yup,same here

    2. polis
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Only a brace?

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

    Shocking to decision to drop le Marchand over Chambers. Chambers by far the worst of the two, really. And to play woeful Mawson in place of him just compunds it ffs .

  6. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Shud be a yellow there
    Diving..b

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

    WTH. That was the clearest penalty ever. Mawson should be off.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Erm no Watford player even appealed for it.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        And how does that change the fact it was a foul?

        1. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          They didn’t appeal because it wasn’t a foul

          1. Pariße
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            correct

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Sorry, just saw the replay, Hughes went down before the contact. Mawson was way off again though, Hughes should’ve taken advantage of that. A bottled tackle and a bottled dive.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      No way, he went down before any contact

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

      Didn’t realise Stevie Wonder played FPL.

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

        Mocking disabilities is disgusting.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Get a grip

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

            Do you disagree?

      2. how now brown cow
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Topical reference! 🙂

        Do people still say that?

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Nope.

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

    Should’ve been a penalty.

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

      Would’ve been:
      Deeney G
      Hughes A
      Masson RC

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Except it was a dive

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

          Dramatised for sure. Mawson nowhere near the ball.

        2. PrettyDick
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          well, no. It wasn't. Mawson missed the ball and took out Hughes, no possibility for him to maintain his run. Clear penalty at least, and could absolutely have been a second yellow as well.

          1. THE Wild Rover
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Are you even watching the game? He went down well before any contact

            1. Ramboros
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 3 days ago

              Doesn't really matter if you are being taken down either way. You can't just expect attackers to injure themselves by standing on their feet when the tackle is coming.

      2. polis
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Guaranteed?

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

          A fair few Hughes Deeney and Gray owners in a few ML of mine.. probably.

          Thankfully I got lucky there.

      3. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Instead it was Zladan BS 🙂

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

      Clear yellow for diving. Ref bottled it.

  9. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mawson deserves a 1/10 today. Penalty and a second yellow, why is the ref affraid of giving it?

  10. nobwak
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Couldn't decide who to captain this week out of Hazard, Aguero and Mane... Felt that whichever one I picked would end up being wrong, so went maverick and captained Lacazette!

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

      Bold

    2. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Love it, almost did the same but chickened out. Hope it comes good though, have him in both my squad and Draft.

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

      Nothing wrong with that mate. Whenever he played 45 minutes or more, he has returned.
      1pts 36 mins
      1pts 15 mins
      4pts 45 mins
      12pts 90 mins
      5pts 90 mins
      Good shout imo

    4. polis
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Could work out for you.

    5. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Same here. Go Laca.

  11. TAT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitro not looking like scoring…

  12. nobwak
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitrovic hasn't scored in the first 40 minutes of this game, therefore he's rubbish and picking him was a mistake...

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

      I concur

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

      It's usually 5 minutes.

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      You're 30 minutes late with that kind of observation!

    4. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Every match day its like this and I always think I'll just stay away from the saltiness, yet here I am again a slave to the drivel 😀

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

      Spot on mate (unironically).

  13. how now brown cow
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Didn't see this Watford form coming at the start of the season.

    Thought they would struggle big time.

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Wasn't this similar to Watford a few season's back when they were fire in the first half of the season, then faded horribly after Boxing Day? Could be wrong

  14. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Sess with potentially match saving block tackle on Holebas.

  15. Goaldigger
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitro so aggravated. Red card waiting to happen.

  16. SirStevieG
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hughes just fell over on top of Mawson, are people blind?

  17. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Richarlison may be a genuine captaincy option next week with how bad this Fulham defence is.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Kun at home to BHA will have 220% EO

  18. Jafooli

    Spell check

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

        So I'm improving.....nice

    2. Rainer

      Don't forget your wand!

    4. Reedy

      Cech

  19. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Is the ref going to give Fulham anything

    1. polis
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Cards by all acounts

  20. The consensus
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    What happens with Holebas set pieses when Deulofeu is back?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Deulofeu needs to earn his starting spot first.

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

      Deulofeu watches Holebas take setpieces

    3. polis
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Not sure Deulo fits the current system. Playing super narrow.

    4. The consensus
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Good points. Cheers.

  21. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Cholevas has lost that early free kick mojo, last 3 have been simple picks up by Bentonelli

  22. BIGREDDOG
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Love Troy Deeney

  23. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Does Mitro usually get hauled off if Fulham are struggling?

    1. polis
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Nope

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

      why would he? He is their main striker

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

    Slavisa needs to calm Mitro down at HT, they can't afford a Mitro RC. Who the he'll are they gonna play, Kamara?

    1. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Needs to pull him off at half time.

      1. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Fnar

  25. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    How’s Mitro looked this half? (I’m not able to watch)

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A bit angry.

    2. The Abyss
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Horny. Needs pulling off.

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

    Last 2 games Holebas' crossing has been awful.

  27. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    that refereeing was terrible

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

      They stopped defending because he blew the whistle...

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        no they didn't, it was about a second later

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

          Check your ears mate

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 11 Years

            check your eyes pal

  28. Solenya
    • 15 Years

    Persistent attempts at simulation from Mitrovic. Disgraceful.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      At being a good FPL pick?

  29. Silecro

    Pereyra close, almost Foster asist

  30. Cok3y5murf
