Headliner - Aleksandar Mitrović (lei/CHE)

Mitrović has taken 22 shots over the last six gameweeks with only Núñez taking more amongst forwards. No forward has taken more shots in the box (SiB) (19) and he is also fifth for shots on target (SoT), despite playing just four games over that period. As the below image from our Transfer Analytics feature shows, he is the most transferred in player this gameweek with nearly 200,000 managers bringing him in. Fulham have scored 10 goals over the aforementioned period and are ranked fourth for both shots (84) and SoT (31). Their first opponents Leicester have conceded six goals in as many gameweeks and have kept three clean sheets. Only Bournemouth (106) and Brentford (111) have allowed opponents more shots than the Foxes (99). Their second opponents Chelsea have conceded seven goals over their last six matches and have kept two clean sheets. The Blues have allowed opponents 73 shots and 12 'big chances' over those matches. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 8.1 for Mitrović.

Mason Mount (MCI/ful)

Chelsea's top scoring Fantasy Premier League (FPL) asset with 63 points, Mount has racked up 1126 minutes for the Blues this season with only T. Silva (1163) registering more. Only Havertz (25) has taken more shots (24) than Mount this season amongst Chelsea players, and he also top for chances created (21). As the below image from our Predicted Lineups feature shows, he is rated at 100% to start against Man. City and is also rated at 99% to start against Fulham. The London side have scored four goals over their last six matches and have taken 60 shots and landed 22 SoT. Their first opponents Man. City have conceded six goals over as many gameweeks and have kept just one clean sheet. The Manchester side are ranked fourth for 'big chances' conceded (nine). Their second opponents Fulham have conceded seven goals over the last six gameweeks and have kept two clean sheets. Only Liverpool (21) and Leeds (31) have allowed opponents more 'big chances' than the Cottagers (18). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.6 for Mount.

Andreas Pereira (lei/CHE)

A. Pereira has created 18 chances over the last six gameweeks which ranks third amongst all midfielders, while only Tavernier (four) has registered more assists than his three. As the Stats Sandbox image below shows, only De Bruyne (54) has created more chances all season than the 27-year-old (41). Fulham are ranked sixth for goals scored (29) and SiB (158) this season while only seven sides have landed more SoT than their 76. Leicester have conceded 30 goals this season with only Southampton (32), Forest (33) and Bournemouth (36) more porous. The Foxes are ranked 14th for SoT conceded (79) and 16th for shots conceded (232). Chelsea have conceded 17 goals this season and have kept only five clean sheets. The Blues are ranked sixth for SoT conceded (66) but 11th for 'big chances' conceded (34) which is very promising for Fulham's attackers. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 6.2 for A. Pereira.
