Mitrovic and Cairney return for Fulham as Wilson leads Newcastle attack

997 Comments
Share

Scott Parker has recalled Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.5m) and Tom Cairney (£5.3m) to the Fulham line-up for their Gameweek 14 trip to Newcastle.

The two players have not started a match together since Gameweek 8 although the Cottagers have improved in their absence, picking up a win and two draws since Gameweek 9.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid (£5.3m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m) are the men to make way as Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) returns to the flanks of attacking midfield.

Accordingly, Mitrović and Cairney have reclaimed their centre-forward and number 10 roles respectively.

The main Fantasy Premier League interest tonight, of course, is in Callum Wilson (£6.6m), currently owned by 17.4% of managers worldwide.

The former Bournemouth man has averaged six points per game since returning from injury, although Fulham’s defence has improved in that time, conceding just three goals against Manchester City and Liverpool combined.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow; Dummett, Clark, Fernández, Yedlin; Ritchie, Shelvey, S Longstaff, Almirón; Joelinton, C Wilson.

Fulham XI: Areola; A Robinson, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Aina; Zambo Anguissa, Lemina; Lookman, Cairney, Cavaleiro; Mitrović.

    The Salah leak actually was good for owners, as it meant less who were going to get him in did, unless you sold due to it.

        Wolves away could be tricky for Spurs, but on the other hand if anyone is scoring for them in that game it'll be Son. But KDB much safer.

        IF Agüero starts, which he could, they could score a few. Even so, Newcastle are bad so I'd expect 3-0 at least. But in any case Salah will be captain, just don't think selling KDB is a good idea.

        Cheers mate! I don't think KDB will be benched, but I think he could get subbed around the hour mark, especially if they are already 2+ goals ahead.

        I will get Son and Robbo by GW16 either way. The question is just whether to get them for GW15 when it means losing KDB for Newcastle.
