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.

    Best two defenders for a combined 9.5 for the next few weeks? Cannot afford Chillwell unfortunately

    Currently thinking Bellerin & Coufal.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Nice picks, although Bellerin may rise tonight

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bellerin is a good option

    Mitrovic owners deserve this, poor souls had to own him

    Maupay > Kane
    Sterling > Ziyech
    Castange > £4.8m

    Worth it for a 4pt hit??

      Thank you.

      I would say yes to Kane and Ziyech (I'm sticking with Havertz). Maybe Castagne to Kilman (4.2) as a playable bencher and save the 0.6 for a rainy day?

      Who would you get as a Mitro replacement:

      1) Bamford
      2) Watkins
      3) Wilson

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wilson

      2. MagicMessi

      Is Ryan now dropped from BHA 1st GK? Or we do not know?

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

        Probably

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

      Trading in TAA this week. Zouma would give me the cash to upgrade Maupay to Werner, whereas Chilwell would give me less to play with. No urgency to change Maupay just yet but the extra cash might be useful. Is Chilwell worth the extra 0.7 over Zouma?

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

        Is Zouma nailed for CHE if so then not bad of an alternative?

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

        Yes IMO

      3. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would probably go Zouma

      4. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Chilwell looks brilliant every game. The role he’s playing looks perfect for fpl returns. Worth the extra imo.

      5. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm a Chelski and I've gone Chilwell. Kurt's having a purple patch which won't be sustained throughout the season, whereas Ben will keep chugging away and deliver serious FPL points. Which is what matters.

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

      Some goal from Aina

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

        Yea, Mitro did basically nothing but give a short easy pass to him. Great goal, yes! Unfortunately for him they are very rare.

    8. The Mandalorian

      What are your tips for creating a successful wildcard?

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

        Being patient. I failed. Even if situation is bad, it can always become worse.

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

        Defense should be set for the long term, at this point we've got a decent idea of which teams will keep clean sheets and which won't. Allows you to focus transfers up the field

        Target fixtures, know your budget options and team structure, predict next weeks template, the usual

      3. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Best thing to do is take out the players you don’t want and put in the players you do want....and watch the points roll in for those you took out. It works well.

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

        Nice tips gents anyone else

      5. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not getting upset when you inevitably get 26 points in the next gameweek.

      6. FPL Blow-In

        Autofill

    9. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Quick question (and no, I don't expect any of you to be clairvoyant) but do you think there is a chance of Saiss playing next week? Don't think he would be dropped so harshly, but then again - both Kilman and Nouri had a great game. Appreciate your opinions

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

        No

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Would you do a -4 for a defender nowadays is what I am wondering. Plenty of good options and bound to pick the wrong one.

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

            context needed but if you're keeping him for the long term then sure

            1. Stormbringer22
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Need to sort Pulisic out + Saiss for Bellerin/Chilwell/PVA....

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

                tough luck

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

            Atm the situation can be for many that it's better bite the bullet now. Fixtures are going to change and there are quite many injuries etc. So just postponing the hit doesn't probably help. Having said that, I don't want Kilman and Saiss was in my initial team, so I can wait one week with ditching him.

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

              good advice

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Nope

      4. Salan
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't see why Saiss has no chance to play/start next week. (Seems very different from most of the views here)

    10. Hansel

    12. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B. Creswell
      C. PVA
      D. Bellerin

      1. Stormbringer22

      Have Robbo Chillwell Lamptey and Mitchell already.

      Mitro finally becomes the assister after realising he can't score no matter how many chances you give him.

    19. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Werner or DCL?

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

        Dcl

      2. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Big Dom. Everton should be massively better by the Fulham game with the return of the good players.

        It would concern me that Frank was prepared to bench Werner this week.

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

        DCL because Chelsea sharing the goals

    20. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane is a must vs WBA

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Son is

      Do you think WBA will score ?

        yes

    22. wulfrunian
