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.

          Arteta needs to stop with likes of Willian, Holding, Xhaka.

          Play Ozil, play Saliba who we signed for 30m last summer.

          His blind faith in the same wack players is costing us

            I honestly don't understand what hes trying to do.

            The spurs game was a good example. Plenty of possession. Attempted a lot of crosses, every one headed away. Carried on regardless until game is over.

            I think the squad is genuinely poor, but cant see the plan.

      Feel as though the defence needs a real shake up, and where needs to change most.

      I had originally thought James + Grealish >> Robertson + Soucek, but you guys did make sense saying Barkley could be back so good for Grealish.

      So I wanna keep KDB for Newcastle, and Grealish for Palace.
      So how does this sound?

      James + Chillwell >> Dias + Coufal/Vestergaard?

      Leaves a bit of change to use for elsewhere amendments.

        Bugger you have my team, except for a few differences, which means mine is obviously better 🙂
        I think you can sleep well

        I’m jealous of your Robbo. Would like Kane over Vardy personally, but that costs £££ I guess.

          1 imo. Form, fixture & a lot of managers will captain him. Kdb is enough as a differential

        Soucek and Bamford?

        I don't really want to FH for crappy GW18 so that might not work.

        Looking for James replacement ( if out)- ideally plays week 18

        A James and Mitchell to Stones and Taylor on 2 free transfers ( required tonight as Taylor price rise)
        B James to Dier on 1 free transfer
        C Forget week18 and go James to 1 Coufal or 2 Vestergaard

          B is what I am doing if he's out. Don't trust Stones to start over Xmas.
