The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 7 of 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (FUL) £6.8m

The Fulham forward has been one of the most consistent players in Fantasy in the first six Gameweeks of the season.

Mitrovic has scored six goals and earned seven bonus points, blanking only once. 

That has helped him to 39 points, placing fourth in his position in Fantasy.

The underlying numbers highlight Mitrovic’s huge goal threat.

His 27 shots are more than any other player this season, while his 15 shots on target are joint-top with Erling Haaland (£12.0m).

Furthermore, his eight big chances and 22 shots inside the box both place second overall to Manchester City's Norwegian.

Those numbers fare particularly well when assessed against his team-mates.

Indeed, no other Fulham player has managed more than three shots on target this term.

The Cottagers’ home meeting with Chelsea this weekend looks encouraging for Mitrovic’s prospects.

He has already scored four goals in his three meetings in 2022/23 with opponents who finished in the top five last term.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have struggled in defence in their recent road trips.

They have conceded five goals in their last two outings against Leeds United and Southampton.

Fulham’s subsequent schedule further raises the potential of Mitrovic over the long term.

From Gameweek 8 onwards, five of their seven matches score only two in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).

As the focal point of Fulham’s attack, Mitrovic look set for more success over the coming Gameweeks.
