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

    I should have played Holebas over Mitro, Fulham are awful.

      Takes a second for that to change. Relax.

      Not even played the first half yet

    I did a stupid -4 move taking out Arnautovic and bringing in Mitrovic. Have very strong feeling it will backfire.

      Its only been 40 mins, posts like this are cancer

        I hope you are right. It was probably still a bad move since I need Mitrovic to score and Arnie to blank. I know you have to look a few GW forward, but its a bad start so far. And if Arnie scores and Mitrovic blanks, well.... no comment.

      Such moves usually do.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Will come good next 4 gameweeks

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not stupid. Good move for next few weeks.

    Watford bossing this game, Fulham only 1 shot on goal.

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

      Not that surprising considering Watford have conceded the 3rd least shots on target in the league

  4. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Glad I held on to Walcott. One goal tomorrow and a brace next week

    1. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      yup,same here

    2. polis
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Only a brace?

  5. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shocking to decision to drop le Marchand over Chambers. Chambers by far the worst of the two, really. And to play woeful Mawson in place of him just compunds it ffs .

  6. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shud be a yellow there
    Diving..b

  7. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    WTH. That was the clearest penalty ever. Mawson should be off.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Erm no Watford player even appealed for it.

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        And how does that change the fact it was a foul?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          They didn’t appeal because it wasn’t a foul

          1. Pariße
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            correct

      2. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry, just saw the replay, Hughes went down before the contact. Mawson was way off again though, Hughes should’ve taken advantage of that. A bottled tackle and a bottled dive.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No way, he went down before any contact

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Didn’t realise Stevie Wonder played FPL.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mocking disabilities is disgusting.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Get a grip

          1. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Do you disagree?

      2. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Topical reference! 🙂

        Do people still say that?

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nope.

  8. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Should’ve been a penalty.

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Would’ve been:
      Deeney G
      Hughes A
      Masson RC

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Except it was a dive

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Dramatised for sure. Mawson nowhere near the ball.

        2. PrettyDick
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          well, no. It wasn't. Mawson missed the ball and took out Hughes, no possibility for him to maintain his run. Clear penalty at least, and could absolutely have been a second yellow as well.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Are you even watching the game? He went down well before any contact

            1. Ramboros
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Doesn't really matter if you are being taken down either way. You can't just expect attackers to injure themselves by standing on their feet when the tackle is coming.

      2. polis
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Guaranteed?

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          A fair few Hughes Deeney and Gray owners in a few ML of mine.. probably.

          Thankfully I got lucky there.

      3. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Instead it was Zladan BS 🙂

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Clear yellow for diving. Ref bottled it.

  9. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mawson deserves a 1/10 today. Penalty and a second yellow, why is the ref affraid of giving it?

  10. nobwak
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Couldn't decide who to captain this week out of Hazard, Aguero and Mane... Felt that whichever one I picked would end up being wrong, so went maverick and captained Lacazette!

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bold

    2. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Love it, almost did the same but chickened out. Hope it comes good though, have him in both my squad and Draft.

    3. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing wrong with that mate. Whenever he played 45 minutes or more, he has returned.
      1pts 36 mins
      1pts 15 mins
      4pts 45 mins
      12pts 90 mins
      5pts 90 mins
      Good shout imo

    4. polis
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Could work out for you.

    5. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same here. Go Laca.

  11. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mitro not looking like scoring…

  12. nobwak
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mitrovic hasn't scored in the first 40 minutes of this game, therefore he's rubbish and picking him was a mistake...

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I concur

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It's usually 5 minutes.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You're 30 minutes late with that kind of observation!

    4. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Every match day its like this and I always think I'll just stay away from the saltiness, yet here I am again a slave to the drivel 😀

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Spot on mate (unironically).

  13. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Didn't see this Watford form coming at the start of the season.

    Thought they would struggle big time.

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wasn't this similar to Watford a few season's back when they were fire in the first half of the season, then faded horribly after Boxing Day? Could be wrong

  14. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Sess with potentially match saving block tackle on Holebas.

  15. Goaldigger
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mitro so aggravated. Red card waiting to happen.

  16. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hughes just fell over on top of Mawson, are people blind?

  17. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Richarlison may be a genuine captaincy option next week with how bad this Fulham defence is.

    Is the ref going to give Fulham anything

    1. polis

      Cards by all acounts

  20. The consensus
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What happens with Holebas set pieses when Deulofeu is back?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Deulofeu needs to earn his starting spot first.

    2. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Deulofeu watches Holebas take setpieces

    3. polis
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure Deulo fits the current system. Playing super narrow.

    4. The consensus
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Good points. Cheers.

  21. Kellz86
    • 6 Years

    Cholevas has lost that early free kick mojo, last 3 have been simple picks up by Bentonelli

  22. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Love Troy Deeney

  23. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Does Mitro usually get hauled off if Fulham are struggling?

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      why would he? He is their main striker

  24. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Slavisa needs to calm Mitro down at HT, they can't afford a Mitro RC. Who the he'll are they gonna play, Kamara?

    1. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Needs to pull him off at half time.

    How’s Mitro looked this half? (I’m not able to watch)

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      A bit angry.

    2. Sad Ken

      Horny. Needs pulling off.

  26. Piggs Boson

    Last 2 games Holebas' crossing has been awful.

  27. SADIO SANÉ

    that refereeing was terrible

    1. Brosstan

      They stopped defending because he blew the whistle...

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        no they didn't, it was about a second later

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
