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.

      Mine was :
      Fab fodder
      Alonso Mendy digne Doherty tripps/bellerin
      Haz rich siggy/martial iwobi diangana
      Kane laca arnie

      U have 4 cap options nice.I have 3 to 4 (depends whether u consider siggy as a cap option in easy home fixtures) and decent bench

  2. TherryOnWii
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Considering how awful Fulham is, would you do Sterling to Mane for -4 (Already have Salah), then get him back the next week?

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Could be well worth it

    2. Tokosbobet88
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      wow! haven't thought if anyone could even think of it. lol

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldnt.. for all we know Mane could get a rest or blank. Sterling is redhot at the moment and you would waste a transfer getting him back as well

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Shaqiri plays this week.Dont rush itt

  3. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    To go along with Salah + Hazard + RAM, who would you get if on WC?

    A. Sterling
    B. Mane + cash itb to get Sterling in few weeks
    C. Both Mane + Sterling, sacrificing RAM

    1. TherryOnWii
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      D. Both Mane and Sterling, sacrifice Salah.

      Unless you're captaining Salah week in week out (which I assume you won't since you have Sterling and Hazard), I think Mane cover should be enough and Salah fund can be spread out elsewhere?

      However if you insist on only A B C above, I would do B.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Im toying with this. But waiting a couple of weeks to see how things play out

      2. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Will captain Mo at least for the next 2 so he stays.
        Could downgrade him gw16-17 onwards to have Sterling + Mane

        1. TherryOnWii
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          B it is

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I would get Aguero. Nailed and due a hatty

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Jesus can't make the assists that aguero did, pep knows that. So aguero is the most nailed

  4. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hennesey
    Alonso Mendy Trippier
    Salah Hazard Rich Maddi
    Aguero Arnie Jimenez

    Hamer Doherty Obiang Peltier

    1 ft 0.2 itb

    A) Hennesey -> Fabs
    B) Hennesey -> someone else
    C) Save FT

  5. Tokosbobet88

    Best striker to own for gw12 mitro for sale
    Have arnie and kun

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Best options in that price range are Wilson (Newcastle Away), Murray (Cardiff Away) and Gray (Southampton Away)

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Patricio Fabianski
    Alonso Robbo Doherty Yedlin AWB
    Salah Hazard Richo Fraser Hoj
    Aguero Arnie Mitro

    1 FT, 0.6 in bank

    a) just Mitro out (for who)
    b) a hit
    c) something else

    Cheers in advance.

    1. Tokosbobet88
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      just mitro for wilson - form of his life.. hha...and so does the entire cherries team!..

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably save. Unless you're desperate for Mané v Fulham?

    3. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Either Mitro > Wilson (I think fixtures are not that bad) or save FT and enter IB with 2FTs if you don't mind losing value.

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson obvious replacement but save is a tempting option.Maybe bench that Muppet and play doherty

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I was probably playing Doherty over Yedlin.

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Fine then think I would still save .2ft over ib could be crucial with injuries and if u want to change formation

    5. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Mitro and switch to Zaha in 2 weeks time.

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all.

    7. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hamer Same
      Same Same Same Mendy Same
      Same Same Barkley Same Seri
      Same Same same

      SAME BOAT AS YOU. Not a clue what to do

    8. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Can you do Mitro down to fodder, and Rich to Mane and play 442?

      Fulham look in shambles.

      1. GoonSquad
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Otherwise I'd do Wilson vs. NEW

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nope.

  8. Klein
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone know the dates of international match for sterling and mane? Will they have enough time to start the match after?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Think England are playing at home twice...so getting back to Manchester should be alright.

      Senegal have only one game in Equatorial Guniea in the middle of the break. Should be fine as well.

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Some Brazilian and English players will be benched in the GW.

  9. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one:

    1. Richarlison (che)
    2. Fraser (new)
    3. Maddison (BUR)
    4. Ings (WAT)
    5. Arnie (hud)

    Best kind of nightmare

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ings

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Richo

      1. Beard of Bees
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Rich

  10. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    105m and still playing like this? wow

  11. french holiday
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Forget Wilson or Jimine. In 2 weeks the likes of Zaha and AWB will be essential.

  12. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard to Sterling and Aguero to Morata could be an option. Hmm..

  13. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Am I losing my mind or has this article photo changed. Was sure it was Mitrovic looking at me last night so its these two lovebirds.

    I need to go back to sleep...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Magic 😉

  14. smix
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mitro,Aguero & Maddison to Salah(c), Arnie & Success for a -8?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Post ur team

    2. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Only if WC following week.

  15. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Foster.
    Robertson, Alonso, Trippier, Laporte.
    Salah, Mane, Hazard, Rich.
    Arnie, Mitro.
    Patricio, Success, AWB, CHO.
    1ft, 0.2m. WC still available so emphasising short term.

    1. Save the FT for the Inter break. (Possibly Sterling + Doherty in next GW for Salah + Trippier etc).

    2. Change Mitrovic right now. Who would you go with? Maybe Jimenez?

  16. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah to Mane,
    Mitro to Vardy or Lacazette -4
    Y or N

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I am pretty sure Salah will score 3+ against Fulham.

    2. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      no chance.

  17. space
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Think I might as well remove Mitrovic before he drops again?

    Fab Pat
    Mendy Balbuena Duffy Luiz Doherty
    Madd Haz Salah Rich Kenedy
    Mitrovic Aguero Arnie

    1FT 0.1m ITB

    a.) Mitrovic to Ings
    b.) Mitrovic to Jimenez
    c.) save ft
    d.) something else

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Have similar trouble for king replacement and not totally convinced by both ings and Jimenez .Might as well save as ur team has a lot of good fixtures

      1. space
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah maybe you're right as there's no obvious move and that was my original plan

    2. Beard of Bees
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Could be chasing points but mitro to Wilson?

      1. space
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm it's an option, but not one that fills me with joy :-/

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Murray has the best fixtutres. Worth a punt I would say. Mitro already -70%. I have already lost a point on him and don’t want to lose any more.

          1. space
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Good fixtures yes, but not sure if he's a good choice. His age is putting me off a bit tbh, means he's more likely to be rested in next few weeks

  18. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mid max. 5.4....

    A. Brooks or
    B. Deulofeu or
    C. Someone else?

    Thanks.

    1. Beard of Bees
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      maybe kenedy or the 4.5m west ham mid

    2. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Xhaka

  19. Beard of Bees
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah to Anderson and mitro to any other affordable forward

    1. Beard of Bees
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Reply fail to big Mac sorry

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What forward you think?

  20. SlowStart
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Play Laporte or Duffy?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Laport.
      United concedes set piece goals

  21. Nigawan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Foster - Patricio
    Laporte - TAA- Alonso - Bannet - AWB
    Maddison - Salah - Hazard - Fraser - Hjoberg
    Success - Laca - Aguero

    I took a -4 hit to for Laca and TAA ( selling vardy and trippier )

    a) stick with this
    b) use WC for others

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Stivk with it.
      I would have done Arnie + robbo with the funds

  22. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    All Huddersfield has to do this week for me to win my head-to-head was concede. It didn't matter who scored or when, just concede. Despite having the most FPL points in the league, I find myself in 11th place because of the league points I have won (or not). Last few weeks I have scored an average of about 75 points a week and still have be missing out by 1-2 points to my rival for the week. So frustrating.

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      h2h sucks anyway its pointless

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I don't like it but it gives me bragging rights.

  23. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who are the set piece takers for Cardiff?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Camarasa i think.
      He hit woodwork last game from direct freecick

  24. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this 4-4-2?

    Patricio
    Alonso VVD Duffy Jonny
    Salah Sterling Hazard J.Murphy
    Arnie Aguero

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nice. 3 big hitters !!

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Aguero doesn't count now?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Ohh. Sorry mate.
          4
          Lol.

          1. Delhidynamo
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            haha cheers mate!

    2. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fodder bench?

      I hope you have rotation planned for Duffy, Jonny amd Murphy.

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Billing AWB Kamara

        not too shabby

  25. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    The week hasn't even started and some folks here have already concluded that Mane will be benched against Fulham. Nostradamus must be smiling somewhere.

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Who does Shaqiri usually displace?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Last time he started a game, one of the central mids dropped out. Firmino dropped deep behind Salah with Mane and Shaqiri flanking him.

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I thought so. I think I'll leave my transfers late this week to get the most info - I have no Liverpool attack!

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Don’tbuy Firmino whatever you do.

    2. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Now we just wait for him to out score Salah this weekend.

  26. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    so for 1-week punt, Mitro to:

    A. Ings (WAT)
    B. Murray (crp)
    C. Perez (BOU)

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I like Ings. Gives you more money and more flexibility next week also, I assume you already have Wilson?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        nope, was trying to pick someone with higher potential since its for only 1-week

        if king is not back, then I might go for Wilson

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          so you are using a transfer to get him out again? or benching him?

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            no, WCing next week

            1. BIGREDDOG
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Wilson for sure!

        2. Amey

    What are Vardy owners doing? I know if I sell him, he will haul. If I leave him in, he will blank.

        I am debating Wilson but King is back now and Vardy has Burnley

          Vardy has lost the finishing prowess this season i think.
          Never look like scoring a goal.
          Also i am convincing myself that upgrading to pool attacker is must !!

    Aguero Arnie

    Patricio; Success AWB Bennett

    Solid team on paper and haven’t taken any hits but continue to get small red arrows.

    Any ideas what to do with this lot?

          Storngly recommend you to get a Pool attackers. No Pool asset at home against the worst defence is suicidal. Realistically can see double digits haul for both Mane and Salah.
