Mitrovic the most-owned FPL asset on show in Fulham v Watford

Fulham take on Watford at Craven Cottage as Gameweek 6 gets underway at 12:30 BST, with three players on show who can boast a double-digit ownership.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.9m), Jose Holebas (£4.9m) and Roberto Pereyra (£6.3m) are owned by 24.3%, 19.6% and 16.7% of Fantasy Premier League bosses respectively and all three start – as expected – in the lunch-time encounter in west London.

Watford indeed are unchanged for the sixth match on the spin, while Slavisa Jokanovic has made two alterations to his Fulham starting XI, both of which come in defence: Denis Odoi (£4.5m) and Cyrus Christie (£4.4m) make way for Calum Chambers (£4.4m) and Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) respectively.

Ryan Sessegnon‘s (£6.2m) much-hyped Fantasy potential continues to diminish, as the youngster lines up “out of position” at left-back for the second week in a row.

Only Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) has had more efforts on goal than Mitrovic (20) this season, but no FPL forward can match the Serbian’s tally of ten shots on target.

The Cottagers might find it hard to break down their visitors this afternoon, however: only two clubs have allowed fewer shots on target than the Hornets, who rank fourth for least amounts of efforts on goal conceded in 2018/19.

No FPL defender has created as many chances, registered more assists or fired over as many crosses as Holebas this season, meanwhile.

Fulham XI (4-3-3): Bettinelli; Fosu-Mensah, Mawson, Chambers, Sessegnon; Seri, McDonald, Johansen; Schurrle, Mitrovic, Vietto

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra; Deeney, Gray

    Feel sorry for anyone who went with triple Fulham defence on wildcard. 😆

      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Surely nobody did that

    First time owning Mitro here. For a hit. Nervy times..

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same, Arnie-Mitro

  3. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Fulham full-on attack activates. Come on Mitro!

  4. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    The 4-4-2 suits mid-table sides well. They keep it tight at the back, and hit on the counter. 43.6% possession this season. Watford using the Leicester model to great effect.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Watford play a narrow one too. No natural wingers. Seems to work welll

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Watford are in the top 4. Not midtable. 😉

    Aguero(C)vs Fulham locked

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      That ship sailed

  6. Cok3y5murf

    5 years, 7 months ago

    I would laugh at Fulham defence, but this place would ban me for it, so...

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Imagine owning Fulham defenders 🙂

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        You wouldn't though - no clean sheets and no prospects of any.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Pretty sure Mark owns their other goalkeeper

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe try something like 'laughing out loud at Fulham defence' 😛

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        They’ll ban for that too. Remember some guy saying his lmao post was deleted too. Ridiculous site these days.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Get off it then

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            After your embarrassing “value” post, I wouldn’t bother commenting mate 😀

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Only thing embarrassing is your history in FPL

        2. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          And yet, posting false lineups doesn’t get people banned. It’s a joke.

        3. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Didn't know that. They really seem to be a little too officious.

    3. Dokdok666
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      It is possible to express ridicule by using many other words than the childish "LOL" that some seem to prefer

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Variations of laughing are deleted too, as I said above. Not sure which variations exactly, but even the mods aren’t clear about it.

  7. aborg

    Wow Watford scored after just over a min

  8. Point-one short
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Mitro, time to score

  9. Rsforstar
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    i got the wrong watford forward it seems lol. reason i got one is this fulham defence, so tempting

  10. Texas Pete
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Predictions:

    Watford will concede.
    Mitro won't score.

  11. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years

    Score check

    9 from 2. Any good?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Red arrow as other games don't matter

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        And once again in english please?

  12. aborg
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Basically for me Salah is the key to take me undisputedly on top of my mini league table if he hauls since nearly all of my rivals have Hazard and not Salah !

  13. Camzy

    • 13 Years

    *Checks who Fulham play next* - Richarlison IN

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Salah > Richarlison next gw.

    1. BON
      • 11 Years

      Same as me.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      Got R in for Mkhi this week with next few GWs in mind.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Huh?

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I guess the Joe Bryan purchase for Fulham hasn't worked out too well.

  16. Podge
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Who scored for Watford?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Gray

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Hughes assist

  17. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Chambers has been stealing a living for years, not sure how Saints got so much cash for him

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Was a decent RB back then, but his mangers kept playing him CB.

      1. Rsforstar
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        +1

  18. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Have no one in this, so left debating the important fantasy aspects of who would win in a fight between Deeney and Mitrovic

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Deeney flattens everyone in the PL.

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Don't know. Growing up in Serbia is sure to toughen you up a bit.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Id bet a house on Deeney.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Deeney

    4. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Mitrovic by first round ko via headbutt.

      • FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I'd back the Serb.

    5. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      the columns holding up the stand at Craven Cottage must be frustrating for those who buy tickets to the game

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        More fustrating if the columns were removed and they were all crushed under the roof.

        1. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years

        Apologises, my entirely legal stream is a bit slow

    7. Texas Pete
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Am I seeing things or does Holebas have Cholevas on his shirt?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        He does. It's his name.

      2. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        his real name is jose cholevas

      3. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        His actual name is apparently José Lloyd Cholevas

        1. Sandy Ravage
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Lloyd?! Lol!

      4. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Always bugged me this. There should be standardised rules on which name you have on your shirt.

      5. Texas Pete
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        FPl have a character limit then?

      6. Catenaccio FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        It would make more sense if his lastname is actually Cholevas.. It sounds more Greek to me.. He was born in Germany from Greek father and Uruguyan (damn i am sure i got the spelling wrong) mother. His Greek must be limited as i have never seen him chanting the national anthem when he was playing for the national team.

      Watford are looking like they could be one of the story's of the season.

      At this rate they will be gunning for that UFEA cup slot.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        It'll never last!

        1. FC Barkerlona
          • 13 Years

          Leicester says hi

      2. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        They'll do a Leicester

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I think Wolves are better.

    9. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      All those defensive signings
      Rico
      Fabri
      Fosu Mensah
      Bryan
      Le Marchand
      Mawson
      Chambers
      Seri

      Hasn't gone so well, has it?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        They were never going to be that team

    10. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hughes seems like a nice option but don't like 3-5-2 with all the cheap fwd scoring

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Wondering who's the Vardy and who's the Okazaki between Deeney and Gray.

    11. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Sessegnong not classified as a def blessing in disguise for us FPL players...

    12. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Big chance for Fulham. Lots goals in this!!

    13. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      If I was still a betting man, I'd have money on Watford to score again before HT.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Both will. At least 5 goals over 90 in this.

    14. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Mitrovic not much liked by the refs :/

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years

        He comes from Serbia
        He'll f*cking murder ya

        I’m going Doherty. Bank the 2.2m (for me) for a midfield upgrade next week

      2. super zlatan

        Tripps

    16. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Watford are going to get to 40 points in record time, and then lose every game for the rest of the season

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Pulis has dibs on that strategy, but yeah, something like it.
