Mitrovic the most-owned asset in Monday’s match despite mass exodus

The Premier League’s least-effective attack takes on the division’s leakiest defence in the final match of Gameweek 11, which kicks off at 20:00 GMT.

Huddersfield Town haven’t scored in any of their five home fixtures this season and indeed going back to March of this year have only found the back of the net on one occasion in ten Premier League matches at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The Terriers have registered fewer big chances and shots on target in 2018/19 than any of the other 19 top-flight clubs.

Fulham’s defensive problems this season are well-documented and the Cottagers have shipped more goals (28) than any side in the English top tier – despite playing one fewer match than all teams bar Huddersfield.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.7m) has delivered an attacking return in three of Fulham’s five away fixtures this season but plenty of Fantasy managers have lost faith in the Serbian striker, who is without a goal since Gameweek 6.

Mitrovic was the most-sold FPL forward of Gameweek 11 and has also been transferred out by more Fantasy bosses than any other player in the run-up to Gameweek 12, with the Cottagers in action against Liverpool next Sunday.

Only two forwards have registered more attempts on goal than the former Newcastle United target-man this season, but his attacking KPIs have taken a nosedive in recent weeks with even team-mate Aboubakar Kamara (£4.3m) having racked up more shots than Mitrovic from Gameweek 8 onwards.

Andre Schurrle (£5.9m) is the next most-owned FPL asset of the players starting tonight.

Just two FPL midfielders have registered more shots on goal than the former Chelsea midfielder this season.

Slavisa Jokanovic has made one change from the strong starting XI  that was beaten 2-0 by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last Thursday, with Maxime Le Marchand (£4.3m) replacing Tim Ream (£4.3m).

Ryan Sessegnon (£6.0m) is once again deployed at left-back, while Tom Cairney (£4.8m) gets his first league start since Gameweek 3.

David Wagner has made three alterations to his starting XI, meanwhile, with Terence Kongolo (£4.3m), Florent Hadergjonaj (£4.4m) and Steve Mounie (£5.8m) replacing Erik Durm (£4.4m), Isaac Mbenza (£5.9m) and Laurent Depoitre (£5.2m).

Durm misses out with a minor groin problem.

Huddersfield Town XI (3-5-1-1): Lossl; Zanka, Schindler, Kongolo; Lowe, Billing, Hogg, Mooy, Hadergjonaj; Pritchard; Mounie.

Fulham XI (4-3-3): Rico; Fosu-Mensah, Odoi, Le Marchand, Sessegnon; Cairney, Anguissa, Seri; Vietto, Mitrovic, Schurrle.

    Is Fabianski a trap?

    1. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      you can transfer him out easily

    2. Pierce34

      Very much so (long-suffering owner).

      West ham do seem to have the knack of being slightly crap at least for a period in a game and giving the odd goal away.

    Wow every time I look at the status page there has been another 5000 transfers of mitro all heading to arnie and Wilson

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fulham and mitro belong in the championship.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        And come 38 they shall

  4. stamboy
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fraser and Aguero to Sterling and Firmino for -4 or wait

    Other possibility is Fraser to someone else perhaps Milner, Shaq or ANOTHER?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Crazy talk - Firmino really?

    2. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Looks solid to me.

      I was pondering this and can see sterling easily outscoring Aguero this season even if he misses a few games.

      1. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        That said can see better option than firmino.

    3. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino POO, out of form, subbed 60/70 min... Poor pick

      1. stamboy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Who instead then Morata, Vardy?

    4. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No

    5. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Just realised can't afford would need to be Martial not Fraser

  5. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How many points will the bottom three score next GW?

    1. Diangana
    2. Brooks
    3. Doherty

    1. The Train Driver

    Best 4.5/4.6 GK?

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fab/Ryan

  7. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Mitro is just a Serbian Lukaku

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      When Newcastle don't want you, you know it's not going well.

    2. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Pavel Pogrebnyak all over again. 3 weeks of kind FUL fixtures and a MNF all for 7 pts and a couple of price drops whilst Arnie moved the other way and did more in 1 GW. Cheerio then. Now on the list of Never Agains.

  8. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    play Richa
    and
    Bench: Kenedy, Success, WanB

    Correct order?

  9. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who is best for set & forget GK?

    1. Ryan
    2. Fabianski
    3. Patricio

  10. Infamy, Infamy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    With Shaqiri not travelling for Champions League, chances he starts at weekend? Very tempted by Maddison to Shaqiri.

    1. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      My thinking too, Fraser in for Shaq. Longer-term thinking Milner

      1. stamboy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I mean Shaw in for Fraser LOL

        1. stamboy
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          SHAQ even, damn predictive text !

  11. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard captain this weekend?

    Everton defence is still dodgy

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mane (TC)

    2. Olee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      As I dont own any offensive Liverpool assets, Im thinking the same!

  12. Olee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Early thoughts on this lot?

    Patricio (Button)
    Alonso-Robertson-Laporte (Doherty-AWB)
    Sterling-Hazard-Maddison-Richarlison (Hojbjerg)
    Aguero-Arnie-Wilson

    1FT, 0.0ITB
    No offensive Liverpool assets scare me, but not sure how to fit them in?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Madi and agero out to Salah or mane and whatever money you have left for a.mid prices striker maybe?

      1. Olee
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Is that really worth it though? For 1GW?
        Want Aguero long term tbh, his numbers are very good still! No mid price strikers i want really

        1. Tommyg
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          One of my rules is to only take a hit for a captain. I think your right to be worried. Salah against Fulham....at home. Your shout though. You can have everyone can ya, and personally think that sterling is gonna outscore Aguero so I think the gamble is worth it.

  13. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bring in Firmino or Aubameyang?

    1. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Could be Gold

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      No

    3. noquarternt

      Auba hands down

  14. Ye
    • 13 Years

    Stuck on what to do with my team, any suggestions? Want to make a change but not sure where.
    Got 2 FT. £0m in the bank.

    Ederson
    Alonso Gomez AWB
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Lacazette Aguero Arnautovic

    Subs: Hamer Hojbjerg Bennett Stankovic

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You could downgrade keeper and upgrade defence.

  15. dan_247
    • 7 Years

    Are any salah and hazard owners considering swapping Hazard > Mane this week?

    Have a plan for getting hazard back for Fulham at home

    Which of these two options would you do lads?
    2FT’s

    A) Sterling & Mitro > Salah + Success

    B) Maddison + Fraser + Mitro > Mane + 5.4 mid + Success

    Team is:

    Ederson
    TAA - Alonso - Robertson
    Richarlison - Sterling - Hazard - Maddison
    Arnie - Aguero - Mitro

      Get Salah for gw 12.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers bud, think i’m gonna do that

        1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Salah can easily downgrade to Sterling again or even Mane if needed. Will be lots Salah C in gw 12 and can be rank killer if he haul. And even Mitro is out of form so A.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Oh, forgot, can afford up to a 6.4 mid, not a 5.4 🙂

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Scrap that, that’s if i did option B haha

    Button, Schindler, Højbjerg, AWB

    1FT, 0 ITB

    A.) Sterling > Mane
    B.) Sterling > Salah, Laca > Wilson (-4)
    C.) Sterling > Mane, Doherty > VVD (-4)
    D.) Save

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      D

      Wouldnt sell Sterling

      1. AFC49
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Going to regret not having a Liverpool mid

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Sterling averaging 13pts at home and united have been poor at the back. No Pool is a risk...

          Maybe downgrade Kun to Jimenez/Ings and upgrade Murphy to Mane?

  22. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Keep Firmino or transfer him to Lacazette?

    Already own Mane

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably keep for Fulham at home. He is also a differential at this stage so could pay off to hold this week.

  23. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anything needed here or is it a save ft? 2.0itb

    Patricio
    Trip, Robbo, Alonso, Mendy
    Mane(c), Haz, Rich
    Aguero, Arnie, Ings

    (Balbuena, Hojberg, Neves)

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Salah is needed vs Fulham, but that is no news 🙁

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Just dont think I can rip up my team for him! Was contemplating selling Aguero but there's nobody really I want instead, it would leave me with no City attackers and I certainly want to keep Mane, Rich and Haz.

        Cant have 'em all I guess.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Aguero to Kamara (best u can afford) and Neves to Salah would be the move. Then reverse it later, but don't get Neves back.

          Hard to say whether it's worth it though. Coin toss.

  24. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Doherty a goal due?

    Will he score against Arsenal?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If he was to, no one can say they didnt see it coming

      The guy is very attacking and certainly due a goal

      Yes

    5. Bob B
      • 10 Years

      Had an assist vs Tottenham which was wrongly ruled out

  25. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Sanity check 😉

    A) Kun + Hughes > Wilson + Mane (-4)
    B) AWB > TAA

    Will have to wait for Kun to rise .1 in price and Wilson is needed to start for one gw only. All chips intact. Will naturally wait what happens in midweek match. A or B and why?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kun has a decent record in Manchester derbies, don't sell for a hit

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thx, just forgot this is a special match and they want to smash it 😉 And with Utd defence everything is possible.

  26. AF90
    • 11 Years

    Mitrovic to:

    A) Jimenez
    B) Murray
    C) other???

    I own Arnie & Success, don’t want to get Wilson & double B’mouth although that may be foolish!

    1. Bob B
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jiminez for fixtures (& price) but I'd rather have Wilson independent of whether you have any other Bournemouth players.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kamara is cheap now at 4.3...

  27. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Am I too late to come on and slag of Mitrovic and share bitterness over giving him an extra week instead of getting Arnie?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Never too late

      Vermin deserves every ounce off it

      Plagued my team the rotten apple

  28. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Chances of Richarlison rising tonight? Also Mitrovic dropping (no joke)?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Possibly
      Unlikely
