Mitrović leads Fantasy interest as Fulham host unchanged West Brom

Aleksandar Mitrović (£5.8m) leads the Fantasy Premier League interest in Monday’s clash between Fulham and West Bromwich Albion.

The mid-priced forward currently sits in 8.4% although his backing has been in decline for some time now.

Mitrović is now without an attacking return since Gameweek 2, leaving behind only his most loyal followers for Gameweek 7.

The Fulham striker has registered 18 shots in the box over his last four matches, the joint-most of any player in the top flight over the same period.

Is he due a goal? Perhaps. But will West Bromwich Albion been as obliging as earlier in the campaign? That does seem unlikely.

Since Branislav Ivanovic‘s (£4.5m) debut in Gameweek 5, and the rolling out of a new back-four after Slaven Bilic ditch his five-man defence, the Baggies have conceded just one goal.

That has worked out at an average of 0.5 per match, compared to 3.2 per match between Gameweeks 1 and 4.

The former Chelsea man has also led West Bromwich Albion for shots in the box since his debut so there is sure to be a keen eye on his performance at Craven Cottage tonight.

Fantasy managers looking to captain either Harry Kane (£10.9m) or Son Heung-min (£9.6m) in Gameweek 8 should also keep tabs on the Baggies’ backline on Monday night as the two sides go head-to-head at the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon.

Fulham XI: Areola; A Robinson, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Aina; Lemina, Anguissa; Lookman, Cairney, De Cordova-Reid; Mitrović

West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone; Townsend, Ajayi, Ivanovic, Furlong; Livermore, Gallagher; Diangana, M Pereira, Krovinovic; Grant.

    I reckon David doesn't have mitro

  4. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Maupay to Wilson worth -4 right now?

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Only if Maupay doesn't play

      1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah. Potter didn't even have him on the bench, said it was a "tactical" decision. Seems more like a falling out to me

        1. The Mandalorian
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Wait for team news on Friday

        2. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          yeah I get not starting your top scorer if he doesn't fit in with your plan, but not even having him on the bench doesn't make sense.

  5. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitrovic will score tonight I reckon.

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, hattie. Should have captained him

  6. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Whos the one I should transfer in?
    A) Kilman
    B) Lamptey
    C) J.Lewis
    D) Coufal
    E) Masuaku

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

      D.

    2. Offside Trapattoni
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I had a similar dilemma this GW opted Kilman his value is excellent. I'll also bring in Coufal.

      Lamptey is intriguing but just won't get the clean sheets.

    3. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Out of that lot A.

    4. jomikijiq

      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

    5. AD2110
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B or D

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

    Grealish or Zaha?

    1. Rashleigh Runabouts
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish

    3. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking same, maybe should get both...

    4. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      you'll get a different answer each week depending on who has just done well. get both and save yourself the bother.

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

    Really want Bellerin - any idea how to fit him in or just be without him?

    Emi (Steele)
    Chilwell Max Lamptey (Pascal Mitchell)
    Bruno Salah Sterling Grealish Soucek
    Harry DCL (Brewster)

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

    There should be a way to filter out the sort of "shots" and "shots in the box" that Mitrovic gets from the stats in the members area. Shitty contested headers that loop into the hands of the goal keeper are just misleading when counted as shots in the box.

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

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robbo, Chilwell, Saiss (Dallas, Mitchell)
    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Grealish (Soucek)
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Best way to use my ft and 0.8 itb?

    A) Pulisic > Rodriguez
    B) Pulisic > Zaha
    C) Saiss > Cresswell
    D) Saiss > Kilman

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

      Saiss > Bellerin maybe?

    2. Sean
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ayy we have the same team, i'm shipping saiss to coufal to free up funds for future transfers, might also move on Pulisic to Ziyech/JRod depending on injury news for a -4

  11. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bruno worth extra over Rash? Or should just ignore Manu assest? Match against WBA in mind...

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bring in for WBA then look to dump

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would have said Rashford but after yesterday. Im not sure about any of them. No point buying them for 1 game. Right now any top half team is going to ask serious questions about them so they dont have any easy fixtures as such.

  12. SKENG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What are you doing about the Ryan situation?

    I have 1 FT and planning to save one to use it in the future to bring in Man City players for Kane/Son. Even if I could use it now on Ryan > whoever sub-5m, it will essentially mean a hit in the future? Worth it?

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think you are not going to amass good scores over time if your keeper doesnt chip in with 6-10 every 2nd or third week. I personally cant manage a team if i have no confidence in the keeper. If that means using a t/fer or going -4, then so be it.

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

    Who to ship first with 2 FTs, Robbo or Saiss? Obviously I could do both but I fancy carrying one over

    replacements to be Cresswell this week, Bellerin next

    1. Sean
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Has to be Saiss

  14. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pick 1, have 1FT:
    A. TAA -> Chilwell/Zaha or
    B. Maupay -> Wilson

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

      B but with Bamf? and bank the change. See how he does tonight.

    2. Party time
        3 years, 5 months ago

        B. Did this exact move, no brainer imo

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Am I the only one to still have Mitro?

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        no

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

        yup

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

        Nope

      4. zdrojo187
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No

    4. C'mon the Fylde
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would I be right, in that I should be focusing on the defence? Who should I ship?

      Martinez
      Robertson Saiss James
      Foden Son Salah Grealish Zaha
      Kane DCL

      Button, Mitchell, Lamptey, Davis

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Front 7 is decent. Focus on Saiss/James for now. Possibly upgrade to Chilwell/Zouma/Kilman

      2. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sell Foden imo and start Lamptey over Saiss.

        1. C'mon the Fylde
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers guys!

      RMWCT
      McCarthy
      Chillwell-Coufal-Justin-Dallas-Kilman
      Salah-Ziyech-Grealish-Son(KDB in 2)-Biss
      Kane-Wilson-DCL

      Old side (* unchanged)
      McCarthy*
      Robbo-Justin*-Taylor-Kilman*-Konsa
      Salah*-Bruno-Son*-ASM-Biss*
      Kane*-Maupay-DCL*

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Its very good. You probably dont want to do a Chelsea double with Mendy in nets but i think i would at this point.

        1. Wag the Drog
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          So Zouma Mendy then?

          1. Fit_to_drop
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I like Chilwell too but I dont like the McCarthy selection - thats what im getting at. Southampton always ship goals. They win games through their firepower but I dont see too many Clean sheets so see what options you have in goals.

            1. Wag the Drog
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Ya, I couldn't afford Chillwell and anything but a 4.5 GK

            2. Wag the Drog
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Also, McCarthy has a decent CS % this season

              1. Fit_to_drop
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Southampton have done well. But I always expect them to ship a goal.

      2. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        join me on the Sam Johnstone train

        1. Wag the Drog
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'm not touching WBA ha

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

            he's a BAP magnet and gets a save point every game

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

      Any early thoughts?Is Dcl the best replacement for Jimenez?I am also thinking Coady->Coufal.
      McCarthy
      James/Pva/Coady
      Grealish/Salah/Trossard/Son
      Kane/Jimenez/Werner

      Steer McCarthy/Douglas/Targett
      2ft 0.0itb

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I dont necessarily think DCL is the best replacement for Jimi. Everton are starting to look nervy and not as potent as they were. Id go Wilson/Bamford (depending on tonight) and use the cash elsewhere TBH.

      2. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Who is the McCarthy on the bench? Trossard is another who is not delivering.

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          cheers.Wilson is a good pick but with Rodriquez and Richarlison back from gw9 i prefer Dcl.The legend James McCarthy from Crystal Palace.

          1. Fit_to_drop
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Stick with DCL so. I thought it might be him but first time i have seen him in a squad 😉

    7. Party time
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Maupay to Wilson done

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Maupay to drop tonight?

          1. Party time
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Maybe but on the long run Wilson is a better fpl asset

              1. Botman and Robben
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yes, it seems almost all Newcastle offense funnels through him.

                1. Party time
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    Yeah

            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Lookman and Johnstone going in this fixture! i guess i want Johnstone save points and lookman goals

            1. MagicMessi
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Lookman goals will be very nice

                0.5% owned, on 53 points with three to go tonight so hoping for a nice big green

            Whos the one I should transfer in?
            A) Kilman
            B) Lamptey
            C) Coufal

            GW not over but thinking to GW8. Unsure what to do here!

            B) Puli, Robbo > Ziyech, Coufal/ Bellerin (2FT)
            C) Puli > Ziyech (roll an FT)
            D) Puli move as above + Improve bench (Stephens or Branthwaite > ?)
            E) Something else

            Sorry I know a lot of options. Appreciate the advice!

              B or C probably. I would steer clear of United for now (I'm looking to offload Bruno ASAP). Zouma double-up is worth a look too - although be wary of fixtures (if they matter nowadays!)

              1. Don Kloppeone
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                What about Rodriguez, Zouma if he’s fit?

                1. Catastrophe
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah could be a good shout, I want to get Rodriguez in as soon as he and Everton are back in business

            Here we are, West Ham fixture swing time. They've had a really tough opening but comfortably saw off Wolves and Leicester, coupled with that 3-3 at Spurs and a draw with City. FUL shu AVL MUN lee CRY over their next six.

            Masuaka and Balbuena look like great budget shouts, but Creswell looks like the pick at the back due to corners and creativity (although will set you back an extra 0.6-0.7m). Creswell for me, a great Saiss replacement.

            I'm tempted to double up, and with Antonio out I think it'll be either Fornals or Bowen for me. A real toss up, Bowen looks like he edges the stats but Fornals has had the greater returns. Thoughts on this dilemma? Any others you are considering?

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years

              Is Balbuena nailed? Diop won't play?

              Coufal needs to be in there for me

              • 11 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Personally got Balbuena and Bowen in (Vs fornalis it's 50/50

            Reminder that if Mitro scores today he will become a serious FPL option here. FPL is fickle in the early weeks.

            Any hyper-maverick Karlan Grant owners out here?

            Anything worth a hit chaps? 2.5 ITB.

            Martinez
            Chillwell, Zouma, Justin
            Salah, Son, Fernandes, Barkley
            Kane, DCL, Bamford

            (Steer, Kilman, Bissouma, Mitchell)

            Considering one of these:

            Barkley -> Grealish/Rodriguez/Zaha
            Fernandes -> KDB
            Mitchell/Justin -> Vestergaard/Coufal

            Cheers

            Anyone like the prospects of Bellerin?

            I have 9.5 to spend on 2 defenders. Unfortunately cannot afford Chilwell.

            Was thinking Bellerin & Coufal

              Good value for the fixtures ahead.

            Is Killman nailed for Wolves or just a short term option? Cheers
