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.

    Is coufal nailed?

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

      Yes

  2. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on MitroGOAL

  3. Karhumies

    Best defender for 5.5 or below for the next 5 GWs? I have Castagne + Saiss, one of them needs to go.

    1. Count Your Blessings
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      PVA. Good fixtures + penalties.

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

        Pens, really?

        1. Count Your Blessings
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Milivojevic is suspended and PVA is probably ahead of Zaha in the list of penalty takers.

      2. Karhumies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Damn, those Palace fixtures actually look pretty tasty.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lamptey, Zouma, Bellerin, Coufal/Cresswell

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

    McCarthy
    Cancelo, Chilwell, Lamptey
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Zaha, Soucek
    Kane, DCL

    Steer, Brewster, Mitchell, Branthwaite

    1.1 itb, any transfers needed this week?

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save

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

    KDB and Sterling not owned by 10% or more in the top 10k.

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

      Make sense, top 10k will have the highest points scorers

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I can't see what good I had from that last two week. Maupay, Barkley and Sterling, massive differential fail. Bamford to neutralize Lamptey off the bench tonight probably, and two weeks after wildcarding I am at the same position as before, with wildcard wasted.

  6. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    2FT 0.8ITB

    Mccarthy
    TAA Justin Semedo
    Salah Son Grealish Podence
    Kane DCL Jiminez
    (Nyland, Mitchell, Bissouma, Taylor)

    Anything need doing? TAA > Chilwell looks good. Have WC in tact. Any -4 needed? Can afford TAA Podence Semedo > Chilwell, Zouma, Ziyech -4

    Baggies' away kit sponsored by McDonald's...

  8. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What’s the story with Maupay? Will he play against Burnley

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for news. Hard to imagine a scenario where he wouldn't given the way they performed without him, but who knows?

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This situation alone makes me want to sell him, especially with Wilson, Bamford, Adams all firing. I know it's not great to swap third striker too much, but if Maupay can't survive Potter roulette... Maybe it was purely tactical, but still. I'll probably ship him to get DCL, so I guess it is an easy decision for me. Wanted to make some ground going without him last three weeks, but he still got a goal and bonus.

  9. Fantasizer

    got pulisic and ings both
    chances they dont miss gw8?
    any updates?

  10. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Rashford or Ziyech?

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

      rashford..

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

      Ziyech

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

      Neither this week. I'd wait a week. United are out of sorts, but still have WBA after the break. Sheffield United restricted Liverpool and City to just three goals, so can't see Chelsea turning them over.

  11. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    On a wildcard

    Will Kilman and Riedewald keep their places?

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

      kilman should

  12. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fulham vs WBA.

    Has there ever been a lower interest game for FPL purposes?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I doubt it, not gonna own a single player from either team this season.

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      West Brom Burnley. At least Fulham have Mitrovic

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Who, in the UK, is paying £14.95 for this?

      PL really are out of touch.

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

      Yes.. Manu vs Burnley

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

      As a sign of how wrong my season has gone, I have 2 players in this game...

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

    Best defender for 4.7 or under?

    A) KWP

    B) Lamptey

    C) Konsa

    D) Other

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B - it’s not even close....

  14. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitrovic isn’t scoring today is he

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

      Have some faith

  15. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    The Monday evening 17.30 slot is the real PL dead zone.

  16. OverTinker
    • 5 Years

    Any news on Ings?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Injury not as bad as anticipated

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

        Any chance he plays on friday?

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          Slim

  17. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pogba’s last 6 starts:

    0 goals
    0 assists
    3 penalties conceded

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Brutal

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Overrated

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

          He's unplayable on his days but mostly now is inconsistent and moody

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The worst lol

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can only play in an attacking midfield 3.

      Reminds me of Bernardo Silva for Man City. Against better opposition, Man City would drop Bernardo and play Rodri, KDB, Gundogan. But against weak opposition, they would play Rodri, KDB, Bernardo.

      Similar with Pogba. Against poor opposition then can play Matic, McTominay, Fernandes. But against weak opposition they can play Matic, Pogba, Fernandes.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        * Against strong opposition then can play Matic, McTominay, Fernandes

    4. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Been an terrible waste of money. He has a stinking attitude and won’t be there for much longer.

  18. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I can't believe that Phillips lad for Liverpool is 23. The way Liverpool and the media went on he was an 18 year of chap that that they had to call in upon

  19. dimo_fpl

    To anyone watching the game, how’s Lookman, Mitro and Perreira looked?

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

      Look below

      1. dimo_fpl

        I don’t think I’ll be selling him after 2 assists 😉

    If Ings is out I will be tempted to use both of my two free transfers but is this stupid? - two free transfers after the international games should be worth more?

    a. Saïss+ Ings -> Chilwell + Wilson
    b. only use one transfer this gw, the bench should get a point or two

    Martínez
    TAA, Saïss, Lamptey
    Son, Salah, Fernandes, Grealish
    Ings, Bamford, Jiménez

    Button, Burke, Mitchell, Dunne
    2 free transfer, 0.1 million in the bank
