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.

      Ah ha, the sensible Fred, you know there's a much dumber one about these days?

        Dumbness is subjective

    Congrats Aina owners. All 0.0% of you -_-

      Aina nobody got time for that

  3. CelticBhoy1

    Either Werner or DCL?

      Replied previous page.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      DCL, with caveat on what's the excess money for?

  4. htfcbrad

    Had been looking at a GW9 wildcard since the start of the season, but after planning my WC team I reckon I'll be able to phase my current team into it and pick up some nice fixtures along the way. Only problem is planning 5 GW's worth of transfers is pretty fragile (injuries, price changes etc...)

    Is there enough information about potential B/DGWs yet to consider saving the WC for GW16 instead?

  5. BenDavies

    Mitro hatty in the 2nd half. Us owners deserve it

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’ll take 1 but agreed, we do. Goals are incoming as his under lying stats are decent, so here’s hoping it all works out

  6. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years

    Any chance Ings playing this weekend? Unclear from the tweet

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What I want to know too. Have the cash to upgrade Ings to Kane.

    2. 11 smelly shirts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say it's unlikely that he's playing, but wait a few days for further updates. As it looks like now he won't go down in price yet, so from my point of view (own him as well) no hurry yet

  7. Parsnips

    Saiss and Mitchell > Coufal and Killman for a hit????

    1. htfcbrad
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss --> Coufal yes, wouldn't take a hit for a defender though, especially with those tough fixtures for Wolves

  8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This has been a tough season start, no question about it. Need major help, as I'm about to drop into the 4M range.

    Martinez - Ryan
    Robbo - Chilwell - Saiss - Mitchell - Dunne
    Salah - JRod - Zaha - Barnes - Pereira
    Kane - Jimi - Brewster

    WC gone. 1.0 ITB.

    1. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      GTG for next week. Or maybe you need to use transfer to one your defs. Dunne, Mitchell and Saiss.

  9. I Member

    People still own Mitrovic? Wow.

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      how many? cant be over 10?

    2. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      😛

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why the big surprise?

      On pens and has some great underlying stats.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mate he plays for fulham debate over

  10. kime67
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    so i guess the captain pick is pretty easy this week

  11. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do people still have Mitrovic? I couldn't keep for more than 4GWs... enjoyed his juicy brace in GW2....

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    At least casual mitro owners have to live with the fact they own mitrovic

  13. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin or Cresswell?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cresswell

  14. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Justin > Cresswell or Bellerin long term?

    Chilwell - Justin* - Lamptey - Dallas - Mitchell

  15. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Current WC team

    McCarthy
    Chilwell PVA Coufal
    Salah Grealish Son Zaha
    Wilson Kane DCL

    Subs: Button Lamptey Kilman Bissouma

    Any thoughts on what to do with the extra 1.7?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too much template imo. You won't get advantage. I would set up the team to get City and Utd cover and take advantage of the fixtures swing.

      Your team is a good one but a reactive one not progressive one

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This. Rashford ahead of Son or Kane

    2. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You can afford a Chelski mid in there instead of Zaha. Havertz or Ziyech. Otherwise it looks as "pin the tail on the donkey" as the rest of our squads/hopes/fears.

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Even Mitrovic delivers against WBA. Back to the drawing board to see how to bring united assets against them

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son to Rashford

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Everton also one of the worst teams defensively over the past 4 weeks.

  17. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic ->
    A) Ziyech
    B) Zaha
    C) Fornals (!)

    1. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha

    2. AD2110
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Stuck on same...I’m thinking Ziyech

    3. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      a

    4. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      A

    5. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks. Pretty clear

      1. Belli2007
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ziyech

        I had made this decision yesterday when he was 7.9 and was going to do Pulisic/Foden to Ziyech/Grealish which I had the exact funds for.

        Took down a bottle of red and forgot all about it.

        Now 8.0

        Typical.

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    TAA, Saiss, Podence to Coufal, Zouma, Zieych for -4?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Y

  19. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin or Lamptey?

    Rest of defence:
    Robbo, Coufal, Chilwell, Mitchell, xxx

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bellerin

  20. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    a) Zouma, Bellerin, McCarthy
    b) Chillwell, Dallas, McCarthy
    c) Zouma, Dallas, Mendy

    ?
    Justin-Kilman-Coufal-?-?

  21. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    scared of going without Kane against this lot... Ings to Kane for 8 point hit or cover kane by capping Son?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Have to get both cuz for every son goal kane will get 3 points

      And hell score himself too

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        yeah,8 point hit on the cards.... thanks

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Capping Son will not cover Kane. And I wouldnt take a -8 to bring him in for 1 fix. Hide behind the sofa next weekend is my advice

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        lol

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

      Rare to agree a 8 point hit. But Kane is a must vs WBA.

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The way this season goes WBA might aswell keep Spurs at the bay.

  22. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Whos the one I should transfer in?
    A) Konsa
    B) Lamptey

      MiTrentovic

  25. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worth doing Martinez => Mendy for FT?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      you re late.

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Why?

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope.

  26. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ryan to Mendy before the rise?

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Or Leno.

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

      Worth a shot, but i would go for mccarthy/meslier

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

    Bamford 41% owned by the top 10k. Goodbye green arrow if he hauls.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jeez thats high

      If i own him but not captain i surely want him to blank right

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        no??

      2. Kasper the ghost keeper
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No, you only lose rank if he's effective overship is above 100%

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes but captaincy means 41x2 82% ownership

          Ok not blank but any points will be negligible benefit for me

          1. Joey Tribbiani
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Even Salah this week was lower than 100% EO, so even if you didnt captain his points benefitted you, think about that lol

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I captained sala so it makes sense it benefitted me. Dont thi k thats the case here

              1. Joey Tribbiani
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                are you drunk... we just explained...

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thankfully I'm not in the top 10 K .

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

        I'm ranked 750k if he hauls I go red.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      My answer to Kane!

  28. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any of these pressing concerns worth a hit?

    A) Saiss to Zouma/Semedo/Walker
    B) Brewster to Bamford/Wilsonn

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

      A. Saiss > coufal/dallas/cresswell

  29. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can't decide:

    1) Get Kane just before his fixtures start to turn bad.
    2) Get Bruno when his fixtures start to turn good.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Get both like me lol

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hahaha. #fpllegend
        I can't get both unfortunately. Have Salah Sterling Son Foen Podence in my midfield with Ings, Bamford and DCL up top.

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2.

      you re late with 1.
