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 thinking that with Everton away just 2 days after Newcastle that KDB may well be rested next week.

      Newcastle will stick 11 behind the ball, they need someone to unlock the defence.

    0.0 ITB, 2 FT’s

    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.
    After a third revision, how does this sound?

    James + Chillwell >> Dias + Dier?

    Leaves 0.5 for maybe Mitchell > Taylor following week

    (FWIW; no FH or 1st WC, so looking for a mix of SGW’ers & DGW’ers)
    Cheers guys.

    Weird one that. I fail to see how that should’ve been a penalty and a red card.

    What they have interpreted as a foul inside the box was clearly accidental. The red card foul occurred outside the box.

          Penalty goals should not give +bps. Bonus points system almost instantly fixed..

          Also defenders should get consecutive minus baps every time they concede to stop attacking wing backs from getting baps for one assist after conceding 2-3 goals.
