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.

    Penalty probably

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

      For Fulham

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

        Denied

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

          By VAR

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

    Thats not a penalty... VAR better make the right call

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

      Great to see sense from VAR. You should be allowed to have arms, he did everything he coul to not let the ball hit his arm

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

    that was clear pen ffs

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

    For a 1 week punt before WC;
    TAA > Coufal
    Podence > Ziyech
    Mitrovic > Lacazette
    For -4?

    Appreciate the Lacazette is rather punty, but could be fun!

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

      Nothing about Arsenal is fun. B

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

        Sorry I wasnt clear enough, I meant all of the above for a -4

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

      Arsenal one of the most boring, least attacking minded teams. Their defenders are value, no one else

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

      Lacazette is like Jiminez. Never scores more then 1 goal a game

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

    Sup, first post here. What do you guys think?

    Martinez
    Robbo Chilwell Kilman
    Salah Son Grealish Zaha
    Watkins Kane DCL

    (Martin KWP Mitchell Bissouma)
    1ft 1,2m itb

    Thoughts on this one lads? What would the smart moves here be? Kinda want the extra cash from robbo(->coufal) for upgrading either striker (watkins) or taking in a fifth starting mid (hamez? later on kdb).. Thanks for you thoughts lads.

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

      Great team. Think I would save the FT and have 2FT over the internationals

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

        Cheers.

    Hahaha! Goal line party... now I'm interested!

    Why is there no BP for Mitro?

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

      Because the BP-system is broken

      1. noone

        Sucks man

      Done anything positive apart from the 2 assists?
      18 BPS for assists, 6 for 60+ mins, he's on 24 now.

        BBC live text must think he has:

        “ I really hope Garth hasn't done his team of the week yet. Ademola Lookman and Aleksandar Mitrovic have got to have a chance of making the great man's XI.”

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

          "the great man's XI.”
          Hahahahahahahaha.......ffs.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You'd make the team of the week if you played vs WBA.

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

            Very true. Even Pogba might

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

      Dunno but I’m aggrieved. Mitro, Wilson, Werner paid off for the first time in six weeks otherwise!

  8. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which of these teams would you prefer (Fwd's and Midfs only)
    1. DCL - Kane - Werner
    Grealish - Bissouma - Salah - Son - Ziyech

    2. DCL - Kane - Bamford
    Grealish - Ziyech - Salah - Son - Rodriguez

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

      1

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

    Kane with captaincy will be at least 150% owned by the top 10k this GW. If he hauls against this useless team and you don't own him you may aswell delete your team and come back next year.

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

      Feel for those who don’t have him

      Of course I don’t have Son, this could be a disaster

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

      I am going without kane again

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's nonsense and I'm a Kane owner

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

      Agree. An easy 17+ points haul from Kane.

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

      Thats if he hauls, barely set the world on fire at home against Brighton where many of his owners was already counting chickens...

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

      more like 180%

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

      After the Son blank and Salah faces City most will back Kane. I think he'll be around 170-180% owned.

    8. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If he gets over 30 points, I will delete my team.

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

      Kane haul = game being updated, come back later 🙂

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

    Really in need of some help, I’m struggling at the moment and none of the players have very favourable fixtures. Can anyone think of some instant changes I need to make with this team.

    Martinez 4.0
    Dallas TAA Coufal Justin Mitchell
    Son Grealish Zaha Mane Bissouma
    Ings Maupay Kane

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

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

      How many free transfers and money in the bank have you got?

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

        2 FT and nothing in the bank.

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

      Taa, bissouma, ings, maupay > Targett, KDB, Watkins, Brewster

      In next week or two

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

      TAA Ings Maupay > Chilwell Werner Wilson

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

        I just know that as soon as I take TAA out he will have a big haul. I do agree though can’t keep him in any longer.

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

          Always chance, but we will not move anywhere without taking calculated risks. I took him out 3 GWs ago for Chilwell, lucky enough it worked out but it could go the other way as well. It's a game!

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

            Very true, something I regret not doing now

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

    Ings news is promising. I’ll probably keep even if out this week

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

      nope I will move him out even though I don't have an FT.

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Perreira clearly waiting for me to sell him before he hauls again.

  13. mookie
    • 10 Years

    Weird. All 5 of my players who got returns had 8 points.

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

      That’s a cool 40 points.

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

        Well one was a captain so 48, plus the players who don’t get returns

  18. FPLGOOD
    • 4 Years

    Reguilon, Foden, Jimenez > Coufal, KDB, Watkins. What do you think?

    Probably Coufal this week and other two next (to get all for free).

  19. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years

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

        Probably would have been a good idea, but here we are 🙂

    2. FPL Blow-In

      Double pool defence?! I’m about to sell for a hit

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

        I had Arsenal defender + slightly stronger forward than Watkins but given Liverpool's good fixtures after City I'm struggling not seeing this combo outscore but yeah it looks shaky given how they've started, but new fixtures, new points. I'll think about it for sure though.

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

      No Kane for WBA

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

        Thanks for the point but I prefer to think long term, don't see which players I'd want to drop for that, plus I have son. Served me well.

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

      Delete it

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      U dont want Watkins. Downgrade one of the Liv D's.

      1. AllINeedIsCoffee
        • 9 Years

        Gw 9-15 looks very good for Villa but yeah I'll think about it. Thanks.

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

      Seriously thinking about it. Need to get rid of TAA so that will free up cash. Mahrez needs to go too.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm only happy with a half dozen players so think I'm pulling the trigger. Can't think of a better time. We only have to GW16 this year.

      1. mookie

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Certainly not

    2. Tinkermania

      No way!

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

  27. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Perreira before I got him: 2, 10, 5

    Perreira since I got him: 2, 3, 2, 1

    Cracking move that was!

    Also can someone explain how Wilson has scored more points than DCL, but hasn’t risen from 6.5m, yet DCL has rose 0.7m? I’ve got both, Wilson from start, DCL from week 2. Is it because the “fantasy elite” haven’t been bigging him up and people can’t make their own transfer decisions? Very odd

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hatty in GW2 the main factor.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Plus Wilson wasn't in FPL until near GW1 & was price protected.

      2. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years

        This.

    Nice to see Poch on the Sky team tonight.

    Surprising some club has not swooped for him yet or is he just holding out for a vacancy at Man United i wonder?

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      None of the big clubs want him and many of them had vacancies
