Mitrovic and Cairney return for Fulham as Wilson leads Newcastle attack

997 Comments
Share

Scott Parker has recalled Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.5m) and Tom Cairney (£5.3m) to the Fulham line-up for their Gameweek 14 trip to Newcastle.

The two players have not started a match together since Gameweek 8 although the Cottagers have improved in their absence, picking up a win and two draws since Gameweek 9.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid (£5.3m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m) are the men to make way as Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) returns to the flanks of attacking midfield.

Accordingly, Mitrović and Cairney have reclaimed their centre-forward and number 10 roles respectively.

The main Fantasy Premier League interest tonight, of course, is in Callum Wilson (£6.6m), currently owned by 17.4% of managers worldwide.

The former Bournemouth man has averaged six points per game since returning from injury, although Fulham’s defence has improved in that time, conceding just three goals against Manchester City and Liverpool combined.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow; Dummett, Clark, Fernández, Yedlin; Ritchie, Shelvey, S Longstaff, Almirón; Joelinton, C Wilson.

Fulham XI: Areola; A Robinson, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Aina; Zambo Anguissa, Lemina; Lookman, Cairney, Cavaleiro; Mitrović.

      I'm sure vardy and Mahrez would have been close to that price in Leicesters championship season, offering similar value, but bamford and DCl both good value for sure!

    Would you do R.James,Zaha and Kane to Dallas, Salah and Adams for a minus 4? Or. Just ditch Bruno and a defender for salah and anyone up to 4.5?

      You're living in the past.

      Breakdown Wenger's record with Arsenal into roughly three 7 year periods.

      1st 7 years: Ahead of the curve (title winning and changed the approach of PL clubs)
      2nd 7 years: On the curve (was fighting with Ferguson, Mourinho, Benitez etc.)
      3rd 7 years: Behind the curve (got overtaken by Klopp, Guardiola, Poch, Rodgers etc.)

      Until Arsenal sort out the defence (and when I mean defence, I don't mean personnel, I mean the mentality towards defence, the desire to keep CS, put the bodies on the line, celebrate keeping the ball out etc.) they won't improve. If you keep conceding the first goal it is hard to win games.

        If you want to see an example of 'mentality towards defence', watch Pepe and Willian when they are asked to press. They do this thing where they run to the opposition player, but never with the intent to put their foot in. They are also terrible and keeping the defensive shape.

        Compare that to Firmino or Aguero where they try to chase the opposition down and win the ball back.

      Most Arsenal fans wouldn't want it either, so not sure where you're getting the living in the past idea.

      Did Jesus to Callum Wilson last night and slapped the captaincy on him.

      Might be genius but more likely to be another poor from the gut decision.

      Can’t score any less points than Jesus did at least this game week.
