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.

    What happened with Maupay?

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

      ran out of money

  2. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years

    What a terrible pick Pereira has been and I’ve had him since gw1!!

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Me too, he gave this goal and assist vs Everton and made us keep him that far but that's it for me, he is already gone for a very promising hit.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same. I've always had some other pressing issue to deal with. Now he has to go

  3. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    You recon Bowen or Fornals are worth a punt or nah? If so which one?

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

      Soucek could be better value

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

    Guys if i owm bamford but not cap would it be of negligible benefit to me if he hauls?

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

      lol

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

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

      I guess so, since those who owned him should have either one of salah, son, kane whom they would rather entrust the armband to.

    4. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Sell him asap.

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

        Selling him makes no sense cuz then bamford goals would mean red arrow for me think about it

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Bamford goals with mean your OR will improve

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

      No

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

      ...

    7. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      i am sure his EO will be less than 100 so your rank will defo increase

  5. skodaole2
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Mitro, one goal now

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

      own goal?

    2. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      7 pointer if he does.

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

    It's the first time in my playing history when I want both of my players in the next match to be dropped. Have 8 points of Podence and 9 points of Lamptey staring at me from the bench!

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's my bench too. I'm only getting Podence.

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

        Lucky

        1. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I guess. In other respects not so much.

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

            The story of this season.

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Haha same here. Only have Barnes starting. So Podence could come on for me, Lamptey will continue to laugh at me from the bench

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

        Have played both of them every GW. The first time I bench them, they score! #2020

  7. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which one for the next few?

    A. Rodriguez
    B. Ziyech
    C. Fernandes

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  8. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cresswell surely worth the extra 0.6 over coufal?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This is the 0.6 million question

  9. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    People keep talking about the Manu fixture turn. Wba gw9 yes but overall the fixtures arent that good.

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

      And Man United aren't thst good either

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This is the worry.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sou after that, how many have they conceded? They aren't plum fixtures, but which are besides the obvious ones?

  10. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saiss and Pereira to Coufal and Bowen is a given isn’t it?

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I do not know with Benharma whether Bowen or Fornals will miss some gametime. From what we know at the moment, both moves seem decent

        🙁

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years

        players are getting injured in warmups these days so stay hopeful 😀

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

          True that actually.

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

    1FT and 0.0 ITB

    A) Pulisic -> Ziyech
    B) Pulisic -> Zaha
    C) Pulisic + Jrod -> Bruno + Soucek (-4)

    Martinez, 4.0
    Chilwell, PvA, Lamptey, Dallas, Coufal
    Salah, Son, Grealish, Jrod, Pulisic
    Kane, DCL, Brewster

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B is perhaps safer short term

  13. Plant Based FPLer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    It looks like Mitrovic is the only one eating that pregame meatloaf because all the other Fulham players are running nonstop all game.

  14. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on what to do with Pulisic? Don’t mind downgrading defence for extra funds

    Martinez, Forster
    Robbo, Chilwell, Semedo, Dallas, 3.9
    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Grealish, 4.4
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    2 FT, 0.7 ITB

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

      Puli -> Ziyech or Puli + Robbo -> Bruno + ?

  15. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wow Pereira didn't even make the hour mark. Was he awful?

    I have Ryan, Ings, Rodriguez so was hoping I could hold him.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tbh, yes.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Keep Rodriguez

  16. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    WCing GW9 and have 2 FTs for GW8. Who are the best one week punts?

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

      Players from Chelsea (v Sheffield), WHU (v Fulham) and Spurs (v WBA) must be the fixtures to target for a one week punt, I would suggest.

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

        im planning on Bowen for Podence and then Saiss to Coufal/Cresswell or Zouma before I WC

        What do u think ?

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

          I would consider Bowen only if Antonio is fit to start. I'm considering Zouma myself at the moment.

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

            Antonio most likely wont make it. Who else would u consider in Midfield up to 7m max

            Apart from maybe Mount I cant see a better option than Bowen, maybe Fornals instead ?

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

              JWP against Newcastle may also be a decent punt.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Reguillon if you don't have Kane and Son

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

      Cresswell

    3. wattalowz
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Similar boat and doing TAA + Ings/Jimi to Bellerin/Cresswell/Lamptey + Kane

    4. Dosh
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Auba, Bale, West ham player

    5. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bale

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

    Anyone keeping Mitrovic? Still not doing enough for me

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

      Looks like I have to hold for one more week - unfortunely. Got other issues to solve.

      1. Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Same. Would love a 7 point goal in next 20 mins

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

          Fingers crossed!

    2. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Having from the beginning and keeping. Fulham look better and better and he is their main threat.

  18. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    omg scenes ... Struijk dropped 🙁

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

      Lucky for me. Got him first sub, Saiss in my team and Lamptey third sub. Looking forward to a 10 minute cameo, hopefully he can get a booking as well

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

    Leicester defense looks ropey.

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

      They will have Castagne & Periera back after IB.

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

    Wise to hold on to Ings and bench him?

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

      If you hold him, you should start him, just in case

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

      Keep - unless you're planning to WC during the IB, I would suggest having 2 FT's for GW 9.

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

        Wasted my WC already. The plan was to have 2 FTs for 9. But just realized I have no bench for the next one. Mitchell, Ings, Lamptey all flagged.

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

          Ah - tough position. Do you have starting 11? Maybe take the risk to go without bench for one week.

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

            Probably. With late injuries and COVID you can never be sure of your 11.

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

    Best defender?
    a)Coufal
    b)Justin
    c)Lascelles

    1. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      a

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I mean best fplwise not best footballer

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

        cheers

  22. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I promise that if Bamford scores today I'll get him for a hit before he rises in price again. He is a rank killer at 37% and I can't take it anymore.

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

      Only a rank killer if the forwards you have aren't scoring.

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have Kane, Dcl and Jimi. Maybe I'll downgrade him to Bamford or Wilson.

  23. Peaky Blinders
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best goalkeeper to get money no issue? My defence is
    Lamptey keane coady chiswell konsa.

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

      Mendy at the moment

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

    Is that Dallas in midfield?

  25. liner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cmon, Barnes! If u cant 10 than give us atleast 20 points now and grant joy to all 35 owners u have!!!

  26. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    And to think my R. James and Werner scored a combined 3 points against this Wbrom.

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

    Mitro goal would be worth 7 points now. Come on !

  28. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    FFSSSSS Lamptey 1st on my bench and all my players start with Justin, typical, never had bench points

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Justin 1 pointer confirmed

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

      Never hope for injuries, but maybe a little problem for Justin, just a little

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

        in the warm up

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Glad I'm not the only one. Feels so long since I've got jammy bench points.

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

      I have 17 on the bench.

  29. Plant Based FPLer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wait... Mitrovic didn't assist that second goal, did he? The says he did.

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

      he did

  30. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Barnes you absolutely useless bum, hate your guts...

    Please save my season
