Why Mitrovic is a mid-price FPL forward to consider over Christmas

Our Gameweek 13 coverage ends with this regular look back at a player, team and discussion point that attracted our interest in the weekend’s matches.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is suddenly en vogue again after his two goals against Southampton and has currently been bought by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any other forward in the lead-up to Gameweek 14.

Crystal Palace‘s awful run of fixtures finally came to an end at Old Trafford, where the Eagles demonstrated their defensive aptitude with a well-earned clean sheet to take into their more attractive matches ahead.

Finally, we also look at a busy week ahead and potential rotation as FPL managers face their first midweek deadline of the season.

The Player – Aleksandar Mitrovic

From Gameweek 7 to 13, Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.6m) suffered over 500,000 sales in FPL and saw his ownership cut by almost a third.

The Serbian striker’s form mirrored that of Fulham’s overall as they slumped to six successive defeats and sank to the bottom of the Premier League table before Slavisa Jokanovic was deposed as head coach. Mitrovic, indeed, didn’t score in any of those losses.

We wrote after Gameweek 11’s meek surrender to Huddersfield Town that the appointment of a new manager could have a galvanising effect on Mitrovic and help force him back into the reckoning from a Fantasy perspective, and given what transpired in Claudio Ranieri’s first match in charge at Craven Cottage on Saturday, that may have well just happened.

The “new manager bounce” is one of those mystifying, unquantifiable factors and the Cottagers were certainly revitalised against Southampton, recording their first league win in three months with Mitrovic grabbing a brace.

The Serb had more efforts on target in this match than he had managed in the previous six Gameweeks combined, with no FPL forward having more attempts on target than Mitrovic this weekend.

Only Burnley’s Chris Wood (£6.2m) had more shots in the box in Gameweek 13 among players in Mitrovic’s position, meanwhile.

The switch of formation from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-1-1 perhaps helps Mitrovic, with Ranieri stating after the game that he has instructed his wide players to provide as many crosses as they can for the Serbian forward:

For me, Mitrovic is one of the best strikers in Europe. When I say in Europe, I say all the world.

He’s only 24 years old, he’s a fantastic player and is important to give the ball to him because he can play as a platform but also as a goalscorer when the ball arrives in the box, always there is a goal or very close.

I asked my team to make a lot of crosses for Mitrovic because he is amazing in the box. He can do everything in his career.

That is important to give him a lot of chance to score.

Those words suggest Ranieri is a big fan of the former Newcastle striker and is perhaps building his team around him for the time being.

Both of Mitrovic’s goals came via crosses from Fulham’s overlapping full-backs, Maxime Le Marchand and Cyrus Christie (both £4.2m), which underlined this approach.

The impact of a fit and firing Tom Cairney (£4.8m) can’t be underestimated, either, with the Scottish midfielder renowned for his passing accuracy in the Championship last season. Cairney was stationed in behind Mitrovic on Saturday, freeing him up from the added defensive responsibilities than playing in a central midfield three comes with and allowing him more freedom to create.

Cairney’s inclusion in “the hole” came after Ranieiri’s comments on Friday about not being able to find a strike partner for Mitrovic in his squad, despite having vowed to do so when he was unveiled as Fulham boss.

That in itself bodes well for Mitrovic’s security of starts going into a festive period when we Fantasy managers yearn for as many assets as possible who are largely immune from rotation.

Luciano Vietto (£5.5m) and Aboubakar Kamara (£4.3m) would seem unlikely to lead the line by themselves, so with Ranieiri unable to dip into the transfer market until January, Mitrovic appears to be his only hope for goals in attack.

Fulham have no EFL Cup or European commitments in December either, which will surely help with Mitrovic’s recovery in between Premier League matchdays.

Speaking of the festive calendar, Fulham have one of the best runs of fixtures over Christmas: West Ham (h), Newcastle (a), Wolves (h) and Huddersfield (h).

While Fulham’s next three matches are fairly unappealing, their attractive run of games from Gameweeks 17-20 coupled with Mitrovic’s talismanic status could see interest in him spike again among the Fantasy community.

One large caveat, of course, is the fact that the Serbian striker sits on four yellow cards and is only a booking away from a one-match suspension. Prospective Fantasy owners may indeed be hoping that he picks up a caution in the coming two Gameweeks, meaning he is a risk-free purchase by the time the Hammers visit Craven Cottage.

The Team – Crystal Palace

One Premier League club who have largely disappeared from these pages over the last couple of months are Crystal Palace.

The Eagles have endured the trickiest run of matches of any top-flight side from Gameweeks 7-13 – at least, according to our Season Ticker – but the clean sheet they picked up at Old Trafford on Saturday ahead of their fixture swing in Gameweek 14 possibly bodes well for the “easier” games ahead.

Fantasy investment has understandably been limited over the last seven Gameweeks, with even Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.2m) taking a tumble in price despite being eminently benchable during this tricky run.

Palace’s goalscoring record has been poor all season but even their clean sheets had dried up before the trip to Manchester, with Saturday’s shut-out their first in the Premier League since the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United in Gameweek 6.

Next up for Roy Hodgson’s side are Burnley, Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham United and tenth-place Leicester City, with a home match against Cardiff City to come in Gameweek 19.

A couple of clean sheets over these five fixtures is a very real prospect, given that the Eagles have already recorded three shut-outs in five encounters with sides currently sitting in the bottom half of the table.

Palace are one of only four teams to have faced at least five of the “big six” in the opening 13 Gameweeks of the season – the others being Newcastle, Huddersfield and West Ham.

Despite this, Palace are ranked a respectable ninth for fewest shots on target and attempts in the box conceded in 2018/19.

Having all four of Wan-Bissaka, James Tomkins (£4.3m), Mamadou Sakho (£4.9m) and Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) available seems crucial to their defensive solidity: all four of the Eagles’ clean sheets this season have come when that backline has lined up together.

Indeed, Palace only conceded to Spurs in Gameweek 12 after Tomkins had limped from the pitch on 59 minutes.

Tomkins and Wayne Hennessey (£4.5m) were particularly excellent on Saturday, while in Cheikhou Kouyate (£4.7m) Palace have an in-form defensive midfielder stationed in front of the back four who has been key to their recent rearguard efforts.

In Burnley, Brighton, West Ham and Cardiff, Hodgson’s side will face opponents who rank in the bottom half of the table for shots in the box, big chances and efforts on target.

Further forward there seems less cause for optimism: no club has scored fewer Premier League goals this season (eight) than the Eagles.

Only four clubs have mustered fewer big chances than Palace, who rank 15th for shots in the box attempted.

The calibre of their opposition in recent weeks has to be taken into account, but then again the Eagles have also failed to score against Newcastle, Southampton and Wolves at Selhurst Park this season.

Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) would appear the only Palace midfielder or forward who would be remotely interesting to FPL bosses and the Ivorian was a bright spark as a central striker in a 4-4-2 on Saturday.

Given the number of alternatives available in the mid-price forward bracket and that Zaha is without a goal in seven matches, however, there may be a limited number of takers initially.

The Talking Point – Gameweek 15

The first set of midweek Premier League fixtures of the season takes place next Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving Fantasy managers with precious little turnaround time between Gameweeks.

Gameweeks 14-16 are almost a “mini-Christmas” with regards to fixture congestion and we will surely see some form of rotation from a number of sides over the coming 12 days.

Liverpool assets perhaps look most at risk of bench duty over this period, given that the Reds have the quickest turnaround between matches: only five days and 20 hours separate their kick-offs against Everton and Bournemouth in Gameweeks 14 and 16, with a trip to Burnley sandwiched by those matches.

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Fulham are the other four sides who face a Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday schedule next week.

Those kinds of schedules are nothing to clubs such as the title-chasing quartet mentioned above, of course, though Chelsea and Arsenal have been able to rotate more comprehensively this season given that they are “only” in Europa League action.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have the kindest schedule, given that almost nine days separate their clash with Cardiff City this Friday from the Gameweek 16 encounter with Newcastle.

Watford, meanwhile, have also been dealt a favourable hand with a Saturday-Tuesday-Monday timetable.

In this corresponding set of fixtures last season (Gameweeks 13-15, with Gameweek 14 being the midweek set of matches), Sadio Mane (£9.9m), Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Leroy Sane (£9.3m), David Silva (£8.6m), Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) and Callum Wilson (£6.8m) were all dropped to the bench for at least one of their respective clubs’ fixtures.

Eden Hazard (£11.1m) was a substitute in one of Chelsea’s games too, though was playing under a different manager.

However, Sergio Aguero (£11.5m), Raheem Sterling (£11.3m), Harry Kane (£12.3m), Christian Eriksen (£9.2m), Dele Alli (£8.9m), Paul Pogba (£7.9m), Anthony Martial (£7.6m) and Richarlison (£7.0m) were among the many players to have started all three games.

The circumstances for many of the above players this season will, of course, be different this time around, be it fitness, form or increased competition for their places.

Fantasy managers also have to ask themselves if one potential rest is enough to dodge an in-form asset such as Sterling, given how explosive he could prove to be in the other two fixtures.

As ever, a strong FPL bench would seem the key to navigating the forthcoming three Gameweeks.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years

      What makes B a strong MID team? An out of form Hazard, inconsistent Mane and Richarlison. That's 3 out of 5 mids that I don't fancy.

      1. arkom

        Well then it's easy A.. 🙂

      2. JELLYFISH

        Inconsistent Mane? He’s delivered a good return in recent games....a season keeper for me

  2. Je suis le chat

    Now that Magnus has got the minor distraction of the chess out of the way, will any of us stop him winning the double with the following crown?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years

      Fpl crown. Damn autocorrect.

      1. g40steve

        Got a link to his team?

          1. Rash
            • 6 Years

            That defence looks very weak

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

              And TC burned, but he's still tearing it up week after week.

  3. EL tridente
    • 6 Years

    A) D Silva and Laca
    Or
    B) Sterling and Mitro

      B

  4. My Name Is Pepu

      Nice, just transferred in Terence Trent.

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

        Same, double up with Robbo.

      2. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’m Wishing you Well with that transfer..

  5. stat
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have been analyzing how consistent and explosive a handful of premium assets have been since the start of 17/18 until GW 13 of 18/19. I have only considered their games against the Bottom 14 sides (i.e. everyone apart from the "Big Six").

      You can check the results here: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1067848972038012933

      (P.S. Auba's record is insane considering how little he's played per game)

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Stats all good for Auba.

        Just feels wrong having an out of position forward with a big price tag and limited minutes and who barely touches the ball in a game.

        1. stat
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed. Difficult to fit him in, and there's the cheaper, more nailed (but less explosive) option of Laca.

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

          Interesting.. thanks STAT

        3. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          That actually points to owning Aguero, Salah and Sterling tbh.

          1. stat
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Difficult to fit in all 3, especially if you have a premium defence
              I'm probably going Salah + Sane + Kamara for Aguero + Hazard + McTominay, and captaining Sterling/Salah

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

          So we’re dumping the highest performing, top scoring centre forward, playing at the best club in the league for someone who is more expensive and not doing as well?

          Count me in!

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

            The kind of decision that can bite many on the ar*e. Becomes a bit easy for me since I don't Aguero in the first place.

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

              Very much so

        5. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Wow Poch!! Eriksen and Son on bench for perhaps their most important game of the season so far!! 😮

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

            He probably doesn't rate his team's chance to go through.

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

              After the way they played against Chelsea, I'm shocked with this team selection tbh. Unless its a case of injury with both because they really haven't played all that this season so far so fatigue should ideally not be an issue

          2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years

            woww

            Ericksen should play the next two then. Was looking to bring alli in bt now I don't see myself going through with it

          4. THFC4LIFE

              • 7 Years

              Will find that pretty soon!

            The guy believes in his players. Spurs had the best start to any season without the likes of Alli and Eriksen

          6. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Still think Eriksen has this 'chronic' stomach injury which is going to limit his minutes for the rest of his career.

        6. Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I think TAA being benched is good for us owners, even if he plays Everton, I was strongly considering to bench him anyway. So then he should play the following week.

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            3/5 games against big teams after GW17 doesnt bode well though...

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

              Just the Man City game looks like a difficult fixture on paper.

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Less about the fixture than who the left winger is imo.

                Martial/Rashford and Aubameyang. I’d rather Gomez.

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

                  Funny because TAA has started against Arsenal, Spuds and Chelsea so far this season.

                  1. Wilshere Knowledge
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    Pretty sure Lovren was injured for all of them.

                    He could play of course, but it’s evident his defensive ability is in question against the better sides.

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

                      No, he was injured only for the Spuds game. 🙂

                      1. Wilshere Knowledge
                        • 10 Years
                        5 years, 4 months ago

                        Wasn’t in the squad for either game?

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

                          Played full 90 mins vs Chelsea in the cup game. Clear signs that he wasn't going to get the league game.

                          Was fit yet didn't make it to the bench against Arsenal.

                2. kalmoffit
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Bernardo isn't that level.

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

            Why would you ever bench a premium defender? Especially when he's up against a mid-table side. Few benched him and Robbo against Watford too. They either start the game or don't feature at all. And if they do start, the ceiling is quite high.

            1. Garth Marenghi
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Derby game, less predictable, don’t really think they’ll get a clean sheet. Rest of my defense is good enough.

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

                You must be having 4 Alonso's in your team then.

              2. Garth Marenghi
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Just 1 Alonso and 1
                Laporte, both with good fixtures so for the defense I’m already okay with. For a 3rd defender it’s either AWB, who’s home to Burnley, or Bennett away to Cardiff. Either are good enough picks for a 3rd defender. I value clean sheets more than defender assists

          3. George James
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Makes no sense

            1. Garth Marenghi
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              If TAA plays this weekend=that’s fine, I’m probably benching anyway.

              If TAA doesn’t play this weekend=that’s fine, he’s then rested and more likely to play against Burnley, and I’ll start him.

          Hazard to score 5 goals and aguero to score 5 goals for all you owners this weekend. Everyone to blank.

        8. Chenku╰☆╮

          Winning with Lamela and Lucas in the team looks highly impossible.. lets see if poch is brilliant or downright overrated nutter.

            • 10 Years

            Hard to imagine why he'd play his two top scoring mfs.

              Lloris is an interesting idea. Wouldn't have Hazard, Mane, Arnie or maybe Rich in a wc team - but many would disagree and if you like that's all that matters.

              Resting Son and Eriksen for the weekend match. Kane to be rested on Sunday?

          3. KGFC

            With Haz not be 100% fit, would Pedro be a safe bet for this GW?

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

              Sarri has commented that he should be ready to play by Sunday.

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

                Yeah but with injuries you never know. Even if Haz starts, Willian hasn't really been on fire so I'm just thinking if Pedro might get a start esp with Chelsea looking for an immediate response...

            2. MTPockets
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Doubtful. Owning Pedro's pretty frustrating - wouldn't recommend it.

                  • 7 Years

                  I know its a huge punt... was just thinking.. thanks!

              aguero mane richa haz richa and vardy. Who needs to go out first? I think the tides have shifted, the template is morphing.

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

                Vardy is anti-template and should be the first to go.

                • 12 Years

                I'd say Vardy

              Fraser to dsilva

              Ye or no

                  • 10 Years

                  Doherty to City Def. Even Delph.

                    I still have to sell Mendy as I did Maddison>Richarlison last week. Delph is on my thinking list to have Man City cover and free up funds but Laporte is also on the radar as he more nailed. I don’t see much chat non Delph in here though

                They eat horses and snails and stink of garlic. They did invent the guillotine though, so not all bad.

              Considering Paterson / Cardiff 5.2 - could go up tonight - for a Friday evening punt.

              Better than hoping for a clean sheet from Doherty. Can't see Wolves keeping Cardiff out on a Friday evening game under the floodlights.

                • 6 Years

                Cardiff will be up for it. They simply have to win their home games to stand a chance of surviving come gw38

              This could be my team in a few weeks time after a few move.. what you think?

              Fab/pat
              Bellerin Trent Robbo Alonso kiko
              Sterling sané siggy Fraser kayal

              Current team

              Fab/pat
              Doherty Robbo Alonso dunk kiko

                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Would look at spurs def over Bellerin (better for longer)
                  Don't really get selling Aguero for Kane yet personally.

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

                    The only spurs def I'd consider is trippier. I think selling aguero after Bournemouth has merrit.. obvs risk involved but I prefer sané and sterling.

                  Is go ez starting this game put doubts of his chances of starting vs Everton? Surely Gomez and VVD is pools best CB partnership

                  1. Wilshere Knowledge
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    Doubt it makes a difference.

                    Both games will surely feature their strongest XI, of which Gomez is a part.
