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.

        I'll probably end up playing the wrong one as per the norm! Haha.

    Struggling to get a Liverpool attacking asset into this. Any ideas? 1FT and 0.4itb

    Pat Hamer

    Haz Rich Madd Martial Deulofeu
    Aguero Laca Arnie

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lac > cheapie, Mad > Mane

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      It's Haz out or get Milner and hope for a penalty.

    3. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maddison to Shaquiri

  4. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) Mitro > Wilson/Murray
    B) Maddison > Felipe Anderson/Richarlison
    C) Save

    Ederson
    TAA Robbo Alonso
    Salah Fraser Maddison Barkley Hazard
    Laca Arnie

    Hamer Duffy Mitro AWB

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

      Mitro to Wilson is probably the safe move but depends if you think Wilson is now too expensive- his form will dry up eventually just depends how soon. Would definitely keep Maddison for this Gameweek though

  5. Pacer.

    Lossl (Pat)
    RAM (Doc, AWB)
    Salah, Mane, Rich, Mad (Hoij)
    Kun, Mitro, Wilson

    1FT, 0.7itb

    I really don't want to bring Arnie in right now as I think hud/MCI/new is a very poorly timed set of fixtures and the cardiff game would be optimal timing, also would love 2FT for the INT break. But I'm going to get thumped two ways for price changes re Mitro and Arnie, aren't I.

    Anyone have any thoughts about other options over those three games?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Might as well sit tight

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Don't overthink it.

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I wanted to save 2 FT for International break too, but I think getting Mitrovic out is far higher up the list of priorities now.

      Likely at least a double price drop coming this week, which kills your ability to replace him with anyone decent without having to take hits.

      1. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I have 0.7 ITB but it's going to zap about 0.2 isn't it, and 0.3 or even 0.4 if I wait on Arnie

        1. Pacer.
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          And it looks like his ownership will be so high that it won't matter if he fails. First early transfer of the season could be incoming

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Cash building is essential 1st half of season but it depends how you want to play - I always move early, take a risk even take a hit if it is strategic

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You cannot forget tv and sv this early in the season or it may cost you later imo. Yes, you are late with Arnie, but things can get even much worse if he scores vs Hud.

      1. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not concerned at all about being late on players. My rank is v high so I've been doing something, well, almost everything right. And my TV is solid at 104 ish. I'm more concerned about whether it'll eat up my ITB over the next few games if I'm even MORE patient moving on Arn

    5. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I’m doing Mitro to Jiminez I think. Seems nailed on and got Huddersfield and Cardiff after International break.

      Likewise can’t take the Mitro price drops.

    6. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I had the same plan and don't know what to do now either. I have 1.0 itb but also have a Knockaert issue. Plan was to replace Knockaert this week, get Doherty week after then bring Arny in for Mitro after City. Mitro has Southhampton after the IB which isn't a bad fixture. However, the value lost will be immense. Need to reassess.

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years

    Fpl have poppies on jersies now. Matic won't be happy.

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      because his country started WW1 ?

      1. Too soon

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Salty Austria-Hungarian?

      3. Meinhoff
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        You say it like that's a bad thing

      4. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        lol just asking

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Good for him

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mitro to Wilson will be my ft I think, just as a blocker if nothing else 32.1 ownership.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      This game is about getting points, not making same mistakes as others.

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

        Eh so who would you recommend instead?

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Wilson pretty good at collecting points ...

  8. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mitrovic to Sturridge.

    Even if Studge only gets a cameo he’ll outscore Mitrovic.

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Lolz

  9. danishdynamite
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Schurrle > Milner?

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rotation threat, no?! Plus uses up a valuable Liverpool spot.

      1. danishdynamite
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Can’t afford anything else, and he seems to get enough minutes to better the dog muck that Fulham are dishing up

        Will WC in 15 so it’s a short term fix

      2. ted mcnure
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I agree, but as a 3rd Pool player he could be worth it..

    3. Taking one for the team
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

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

      Better options like Fraser or deuleufeu than both at that price- Milner will be rotated heavily and get a few one-pointers which kind of makes him a non-option for me

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

    Is there anyone on here looking to bring Mitro in for GW12? And yes I mean IN rather than OUT.

    1. North_East_FF_Pro
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What do you think!

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

        I genuinely thin there is always one...I will make it my mission to see how many transfer him incfor GW12...I just want to find one living example of a human being on here!

        Jeez he is -30 already, thank god the games start tomorrow!

        1. North_East_FF_Pro
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Good luck with that lol

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          There is always one 😉 You in this case.

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

            Haha not me I'm da mug that held him since the beginning

            I need a mug who brings him in now...surely has to be one that exists...

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck finding takers for that one.

    3. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why would we be? I have him+Schurrle and looking to bench next week, play at home to Southampton then bin.

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Score prediction for Liverpool-Fulham?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I reckon it will be close by Fulham's standards, maybe 4-0 or 5-0.

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Salah TC?

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Tempted

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          He's due... And Fulham are very obliging

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      5-0

    4. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      11-0

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Never saw game tonight. They're brutal at the back, yeah?! Mané (c) for me...

  12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    It was a 50/50 choice three weeks ago. Went Zaha > Mitro instead of Wilson.

    Moral of the story: Fixtures < Form

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Went Zaha>Mitro but had Wilson... Arnie said hi at the time...

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wenger to Milan?

    How legit is this guys?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Zlatan and Wenger united at last. Would be very random 😆

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No chance, just rumours

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      These are fake news, there s nothing here in Italy that even mentions that

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No way Jose

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yea and SAF to Napoli

  14. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who is best mitro replacement?

    A...Wilson (don't have Bournemouth attacker)

    B...Jimenez

    Still have wildcard so looking mid term

    Thanks

                Murray interests me....but the fact he play for Brighton puts me off....

  15. tucaoneo

    Really Mitro?Another YC as farewell gift? You broke my heart.

  16. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Next thing you know Mitro gets a brace vs Liverpool 😀

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who do you like more:

    Gray from Leicester playing home against Burnley 5.4m or

    Murphy playing for Cardif against Brighton at home for 4.8m?

    It will be brought via hit.

    Thanks,

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Or maybe Nathan Redmond playhing for Sot against Watford (H) also 5.4m?

      Thanks,

      1. QUEN
        • 7 Years

        Or deuelofeu 5.4m

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

      Long term gray might not be assured of starts, probably the better for this game only. Wouldn’t do either for a hit though-who would you be starting instead?

    3. rojojojo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      none for a hit

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      None for a hit but surely Fernandinho is the best option

  18. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Having Wilson and Arnie already is like having a piggy bank - all those mitro owners are about to put in

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Both could go up 0.3m this week.

      True

  19. TorresMagic™

    Will sort out LMS after midnight.
    Safety score should be in the low 50s.

        Nah, that will happen later in the week. Work and all that stuff.

          Oh have a good one

  20. FPL ZB

    Mitro and Barkley to Jiménez and Lamela?

    Or is Lamela a trap?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sideways

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Jimenez I would do but I'm not keen on Lamela with Alli and Eriksen about to come back into the 1st team

    3. KingOllie

      Hahaha you only just bought barkley. Dont jerk him to lamela now

          Ivanovic and kolorav were gems

      Ha, that's the way it usually goes

    Best way to get a Pool mid here?

    Ryan
    Alonso Robbo Mendy
    Sterling Hazard Rich Fraser
    Aguero Arnie Mitro

    A) Sterling to Mane (c)
    B) Sterling Mitro to Ings Salah (c)
    C) something else

    Not sure I want to commit to Salah long term but next 5 fixtures he could be worth it. Annoyingly .1 off Jimenez in B but Ings has decent fixtures in next 3 and could bench him in tougher ones and play AWB/Bennett.

      I reckon Shaqiri is worth a punt, but probably alongside Mané rather than on his own

        Could be. Just not in a situation where I could consider that imo. Since the Kane move, been playing catch up.

    MITRO OUT

    Mitrovic => Arnautovic?

    Worried I will not be able to afford it by Wednesday evening, I have exactly 0.4 ITB.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      No brainer. But no need to do tonight. Tomorrow after Pool CL game, I would be looking if Mitro is dropping/Arnie going up

      1. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        they seem to be low on the radar for price changes right now after they both decreased/increased last night so I might be ok to wait 2 days?

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I don't have the experience to estimate how long it usually takes but most Mitro owners are getting rid and Arnie should be nro 1 target.

    2. Gudjohnsen

      Yes

  27. Tempestic

    Didn't see the game tonight, guess I should be confident captaining Salah?

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A million percent unless he plays midweek and is rested which I just can’t see

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Perfect game to help catch up on City's goal difference!

  28. Ghost Gooner

    Jimenez I would do but I'm not keen on Lamela with Alli and Eriksen about to come back into the 1st team

  29. Orion
    • 15 Years

    Which playing mid, up to 5.6, you think I should bring in???

    1. QUEN
      • 7 Years

      Deulofeu

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Deulofeu or Brooks

    Can’t remember a season where the most obvious captain picks have paid off almost every week

      I'm loving it so far.
