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.

        Wilson the latest footballer to be struck down with that horrible condition that makes their legs buckle when someone touches their shirt. I hope scientists can find a cure asap 🙁

          at the same time I've zero sympathy for players who grab shirts, it's not a football play.

          Adams is the majority choice "safe" option. Ings injury might decrease Southampton scoring overall though, which would mean less assists for Adams so I am a bit worried.

          I’ve only just brought him back in so plan on keeping. Next 3 games are tough but I wanted him in as part of preparation for blank GW18 fixture vs Shef Utd.

        These games being played sequentially is a nightmare. I had no player involved tonight but watched the second half purely because I may bring in Lookman at some point. I have 3 days worth of darts to catch up on. I don't have time for this. I may need to invest in a scouting department.

          Go for it. I have a team of scouts living in my basement helping me out. In international breaks they paint the house.
