Mitrovic and Cairney return for Fulham as Wilson leads Newcastle attack

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.

    Lewis dropped or rested?

      Rested

      1. R.C

        Are you sure? How can I confirm this?

          Check fan forums. I can't say for sure whether he will definitely be back. Fans felt he needed a rest after poor performances. That could mean just a rest or dropped. I think it is more a rest

            At least his replacement looked like making a big error a moment ago.

      Why are people getting in on Wilson (looks like a price rise tonight). he's got ManC, Pool and Lei in next 3. Off-loading DCL or a GW18 player (v SHU)?

      1. Saka_me_sideways
        • 3 Years

        He’s going this week for me regardless of what he does tonight

        Yes please rise so we can make some money

      3. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’d be happy - get the price rise before shipping.

      Feel as though the defence needs a real shake up, and where needs to change most. How do the below sound guys?

      James + Grealish >> Robertson + Soucek

      Can then use the remaining 0.6 left over for future amendments?

      Cheers guys.

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Looks like good moves if you dont have alot of money invested in Grealish

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah not a lot invested in him at all.

          Cheers bud!

        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Grealish has CP next and Barkley might be back. Selling him now is one of the biggest potential risks that I can imagine.

        1. mr. inconspicuous
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yep I was thinking the same, I would give Grealish CP and then move on.

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pick one:

      A. Ayling (BUR wba tot BLANK)
      B. Holding (CHE bha wba CRY)
      C. An other, who?

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Dallas, Coufal or Taylor?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Got Coufal, Dallas 0.1m too expensive and Taylor is a good option... Only problem is they don't play GW18.

          1. 2OLEgend
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Ayling dosent play GW 18 as well. Depends on your strategy in the blank and doubles I guess. I will FH in 18 and get Taylor

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Building for GW18 and FH19.

      Bottomed
      What the hell to do with the free trannys? 2FT and 0.1 ITB

      Martinez (Steer)
      Zouma, Coufal, Dias (Mitchell, Douglas)
      KDB, Salah, Son, Bruno, Grealish
      DCL, Bamford (Brewster)

      Still got my first WC to prepare for DGW and will FH in GW18.
      I really got no idea what to do here.

      Steer to Button?

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mitchell to Ferguson? Gets an extra 0.1 and Ferguson might be back soon. Mitchell not even getting sub minutes.

        1. 2OLEgend
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers. But will Ferguson get any minutes when hes back?

    7. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably should just sleep well and enjoy Christmas fixtures?

      Martinez
      Robo/Chilwell/Dallas
      Salah/Bruno/Son/Grealish
      Vardy/DCL/Bamford

      Will do Vardy Grealish/DCL to Kane someone for GW16.

    8. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Need some help here, guys. Trying the Salah-KDB-Salah hokey-cokey and it didn't work, so I am now getting Salah back in. Have 0.3 ITB and 2FTs but struggling to see where to downgrade to fund it.

      Martinez Steer
      Lamptey James Cancelo Mitchell Coufal
      Grealish KDB Bruno Son Anguissa
      DCL Kane Bamford

      Lamptey to Taylor is 0.1 short
      Don't really want to lose Grealish or Cancelo
      DCL reasonable fixture next

      See the dilemma? Leaning towards Grealish to Bowen to provide funds to upgrade Mitchell to Taylor the next week. Any other ideas?

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I need to generate 0.3m more.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years

          James is injured

            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks! Didnt know that. Easy then, James to Taylor.

            1. Flair
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Wait for full information first mate.

              1. Hect.OR 98th
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Good advice, thanks. Will swallow the 0.1 Salah rise tonight then. KDB drop makes no difference to my SP.

            2. jason_ni
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah, could wait for confirmation, but it looks like he could need an op

          2. CAPA
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            James is injured?

      2. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        James may be out long-term, so if he's confirmed out you can go for a 4.5 instead.

    9. Mr.K
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Which Leeds midfielder to get? Klich?

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

        Harrison for me, but Klich is on pens.

        1. Mr.K
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers!

      2. The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Kilch is probably the best option since he's on penalties, but Raphinha and Harrison are also good options.

        1. Mr.K
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Thank you!

    10. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      With james potential news, am tempted to do following.

      Bruno,mcginn,James out -4 for
      Salah, Burke, Robertson.

      Could do kdb out, but his new fixture is tempting me to hold, as well as his 18 fixture.

      Is above worth -4?

    11. FCSB

      Woke up to watch liverpool highlights, changed (c) from Salah to KDB last minute due to benching... fail

      1. ClassiX

        Strong likelihood.

        Oof.

    14. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Insiders have revealed there is still even a possibility of him (Reece James) facing West Ham and the injury being carefully managed for the time being.

      The reason why this should be considered a cause for concern, however, is that the possibility of needing an operation has been mentioned too. If surgery is required, the 21-year-old will be bound to miss games.

      Potential DGW players are getting injured one by one.

      DGW Plans up in the smokes.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        James and Ings

    16. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      All who have decided to use FH in 18 do you realize you will have to guess 3 ManCity players who start for that Brighton game?

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That doesn't just apply to people free hitting though, does it?

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          If i decide to use FH in 19 i'll probably go with just KdB and Cancelo

      2. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ederson Dias KDB easy

      3. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        You don't! Pick De Bruyne.

    17. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is JWP the better option for Southampton mid? He seems more explosive but Walcott seems more consistent and cheaper

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

        JWP by a ball-hair.

    18. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years

      Lewis benched? Goddamn it. Best under 4.4 options?

      1. NejiHyuuga01
        • 7 Years

        Alioski

      2. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        If he was rested, the more resson to get gim in now perhaps

        1. Lilac Breasted Roller
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Didn't really expect to field him much at all except for this game

      3. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not many. Taylor is 4.4, a steal currently. Veltman maybe but if it's a 5th defender get Douglas and strengthen your 11.

        1. Lilac Breasted Roller
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Solid, thanks

      I captained KDB over Mo, how many points have a missed out on by making the (c) switch, is it 11 ??

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        If you have both then yes

        1. FCSB
          • 8 Years

          Ok thanks... not too bad a mistake then

    21. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bad Bad GW. Transferred in Lewis to facilitate Kane. Thought Fulham will be the perfect opponents. Benched.
      James injured.
      Just two defenders this GW but both playing tough games.
      Did not captain Salah.

    22. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Damn if James needs an operation, have to transfer out I guess. Going to be several GWs

      2. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

    28. JBG

      Newcastle worse than Arsenal and still they are ahead of them with 1 match less played.

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

        That would imply Arsenal worse than Newcastle, then

    29. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Have 2.4 itb.
      Who would you sell for salah?
      A) Bruno
      B) Kdb

      A better form, but tricker opposition and no gw 18 game.

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Depends on your 18/19 plan.

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I prb just ride 18 out, and use either bb, or tc in 19

      2. zon
