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.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A few but the aren't proud of it

  2. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo would you do?

    A) VVD and Bennett

    B) TAA and Doherty..

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

      B

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

      Neither for me. TAA rotation and VVD no attacking returns.

    Blog up if anyone fancies an early morning read.

    Bit angry this one, apologies. Wretched week.

      Surely that’s not your team fella

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

      Always an amusing read

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hughes has annoyed me disproportionately for someone who mainly just sits on my bench. Going the journey for Martial or a cheaper magic bean after the internationals.

    4. Typo

      Very good, lock up!

    5. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      That Jack Stephens review nails it

      Awful team mate, sorry but I would be angry too.

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        This is not my actual team you maniacs

  4. Evla5000
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Martial been racking up the pts, when does he become essential?

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

      You will know it when the ownership % shoots.

      Untill then, follow your gut and bet on the differential.

    2. bigbudgie
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Still don't trust United's attack or Martial's temperament.

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ridiculous form. Have owned 2 weeks and loving it.

    4. Catsandhats
      • 7 Years

      Hard to ignore at 7.5, I’ll be bringing him in next week after city

    any good argument in favour of one?

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

      Jimmy from above options.
      I would get Wilson if i don't have him.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        i have fraser, and doubling up with their fixtures seems a bit much.
        also considering murray.

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

    D - Brooks

    1. gergin
      • 8 Years

      D, B close.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      None tbh.
      A if have to choose since it gives 1m in hand

    4. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      thanks both leaning towards B too to be fair

    5. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      D

    6. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B

  11. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Which midfield you predict for City - Shaktar ?
    For sure will play Bernardo Silva ?

    1. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      And Sterling ?

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

      Sterling and dilva imo

      1. Jebiga
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        thanks

  12. balint84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    drop Schürrle and buy Jimenez?

    1. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      How that is a direct swap?

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        should downgrade Schürrle and upgarde Kamara

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

    Who would you sacrifice to have alonso
    A) robbo
    B)mendy

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

      Someone else. Robbo if I had to choose.

    2. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo, because you have TAA for 5.1

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

      Neither tbh.
      Coin toss if have to.
      Both equally dangerous.
      Robbo can also cross the ball beautifully.
      And can score
      Remember last years second last fixture?? 21 pointer

    4. Win'dian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mendy, if Sane keeps his place, and this week fixtures. Robbo is due anyways.

    5. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B. Because mendy has higher potential of rotation then robbo

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

      Thanks guys. Would ideally want for balbeuna but funds

  14. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Schmeichel (BUR)
    Alonso (EVE) Robertson (FUL) kiko(sot) *
    Mane (FUL) Salah (FUL) Hazard (EVE) Fraser(new)
    Vardy (BUR) Arnautovic (hud) Wilson(new)

    Sub: Patricio (ars) Ward(BRI)* Doherty (ars) AWB (TOT) 0.4m itb

    Any ideas how can I use my 2 Ft this week??
    I thought to upgrade Kiko to Duffy or Ward to other midfielder up to 4.8 mln (probably Diangana) and leave second FT for the international break..thoughts??

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

      Keep>> fabs and keep the change!!

  15. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you play for GW12?

    Balbuena or Holebas?

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

      Balb.
      CS

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

    A lot of words and phrases added to the English dictionary from FPL but what about:
    Martial> Essential Differential!

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

      After city !!!

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

        Fake News! (smile)

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      4 weeks ago!

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

        Essential Differential?

    3. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I like the idea of adding new words.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He's already in there
      Meaning - trap

  17. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Have no Liverpool but have just had my best GW so far this season. Only 1FT, to get any in would require big changes and hits.. Should I just ignore them, hope for the best and go into International Break with 2FTs?

    Lossl
    Mendy - Alonso - Yedlin
    Hazard - Ozil - Barkley - Richarlison
    Kane (c) - Aguero - Arnie

    Patricio - Obiang - Bennett - AWB

    1FT, 0.0 ITB

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

      That is a hard one mate.
      The reason for your best week was no Pool.
      The worry is this week no Pool worst week

      1. GoonerByron
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Think it’s worth using my Free Hit to load up on Pool?

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

          Not really. -4 maybe to get Kane Firmino and Ozil to Mane or Salah if you can afford him.

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

      Very different team.
      You can climb if pool attack fails.
      But can get hurt equally.
      Save imo

    3. Win'dian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No point saving ft and regret later when you can nail it.

      1. GoonerByron
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not sure what I’d even do with the FT though?

        Haz or Kane out could fund Firm or Mane but not sure I want to lose either of them?

        1. Win'dian
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          It's okay then. Its just hard for me to watch pool run riot against Fulham and then nothing for 15 days. Brought sterling and captained this week for a hit and bringing in mane (have Salah) this week.

  18. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mitro to Murray?

    6.7m to spend, if not Murray.

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

      I do think Murray is worth a punt
      but after next week Wolves have hud CAR
      Got my eye on Jiminez for that
      Wilson definitely best but the fixtures just stink!

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson
      Murray has been scoring every shot recently which can't continue

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Even with those fixtures?

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

      Jiminez and bank / upgrade elsewhere?

  19. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Reckon I can get away with saving FT this week gentlemen?

    Pat (Hamer)
    Mendy Robbo TAA Yedlin
    Salah (c) Hazard Richarlison Fraser (Cairney)
    Aguero Arnie

    King/Cairney/AWB will be the benching order if King is not fit. Really need 2FT to deal with King permanently.

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

      Easy save. Good team

    2. Up the tics
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Save

  20. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts please? Transfer suggestions?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robertson, Balbuena
    Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Madd, Rich
    Kun, Wilson

    Hamer, Holebas, Bissaka, Kamara

    1FT 0.2 itb

    Thanks!

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

      Save this week.
      Next week holebas to Doherty

  21. mike09
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Should i do Barkley, Ings > Kayal, Arnie this gameweek?

    Got 2 FT and 0.2 ITB.

    Patricio
    Alonso - Robbo - Mendy
    Salah - Hazard - Barkley - Richa - Maddison
    Aguero - Wilson

    Martinez - Ings - Bennett - AWB

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

      Arnie yes
      Kayal No
      Stretch to diangana if possible imo

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

        This

      2. mike09
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        That was my plan but since Ings dropped I can only afford Arnie and 4.4 mid.

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson went from -40 to -80 overnight

    Salah (c) locked in but from next week:

    a) Mane-Martial-Richa-Jimenez
    b) Salah-Barkley-Camarasa-Murray.

    A wins right?

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

      Thats the thing about salah.
      He is way to expensive this season

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

        A wins

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

      Ease A

    3. ritzyd
      • 6 Years

    Any chance Mitro will drop to 6.4 or 6.3 over next few weeks? I'd consider getting him back at a bargain price for that run of nice fixtures over Christmas if Fulham get a new manager.

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

      They won't imo.
      And instead of mitro you can have jimmy who has okay..ishh fixtures in December

    3. Holmes

    Forgetting the Fulham performance last night.
    Anyone impressed with Huddersfield? I was. I have watched them 3 times this year and they have been good but unlucky in all 3

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

      Look relegation fodder to me

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

      Defense is the value for them in fpl.
      Thinking of getting one for4.4

    crzay to see people selling the likes of Maddinson Ings and firminio ahead of their asty fixtures

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

      you will get used to it by next year

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

      Firmino is playing so deep so i can get with that
      Maddison agreed
      Ings moves seem to be to either downgrades or upgrades

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

        Not many good alternatives at his price. Plus he has got 2 good fixtures and on pens.

      If Maddison doesn’t deliver home to Burnley he’ll be shipped for Richarlison or Martial

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years

        agree, looking at maybe bringing in Siggy for him myself.

    Patricio - (Hamer)
    Robertson - Mendy - Pereira - Lascelles - (WanB)
