Aleksandar Mitrovic (£ 6.0m) does not start for Fulham this afternoon.
That’s a blow to the 25.2% of the FPL bosses who selected the Serbian striker in their starting squads.
That figure is correct as of the Gameweek 1 deadline, making the Fulham hitman the third-most-selected striker in the Fantasy Premier League.
Just £ 9.5m Chelsea forward Timo Werner (49.7%) and the Southampton striker for £ 8.5m Danny Ings (25.6%) are in more GW1 squads.
Mitrovic made two 90-minute starts for his country in the recent international break, but has lost to Aboubakar kamara (£ 5.0m MID) for the only forward spot in Scott Parker’s XI.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£ 12.0m) starts for the visitors at Craven Cottage, in his now-usual role to the left of Arsenal’s three forwards.
New recruit and former Chelsea player Willian (£ 8.0m) will trade on the other side of the leader Alexandre Lacazette (£ 8.5 million).
That means both Eddie nketiah (£ 6.0 million) and Bukayo saka (£ 5.5 million) are in the bank for Arsenal’s first game of the new Premier League season.
Kieran tierney (£ 5.5m) will operate as part of Mikel Arteta’s last three, with a new signing Gabriel (£ 5.0m) ready to start at the center of that trio with Rob Holding (£ 4.5 million) right.
David Luiz (£ 5.5 million) is lost with a neck injury, while William Saliba (4.5 million pounds) is not part of the squad for the day.
Two £ 5.0 million defenders in Hector Bellerin and Ainsley Maitland-Niles assume the roles of the wings, while Mohamed elneny (still without price) is initially favored over Dani ceballos (£ 5.0 million) in central midfield.
Bernd leno (£ 5.0m) has returned from injury to retake the number 1 jersey, with Emi Martinez (£ 4.5 million) is not part of the team amid uncertainty about his future at the Emirates.
Between the sticks of Fulham, Marek rodak (£ 4.5m) retains its place as a new loan firm Alphonse Areola (£ 4.5m) settles for a position at the bank.
Joe bryan (£ 5.0 million) also dampens competition, in the form of Antonee robinson (£ 4.5m), to start on the left side. On the other side of Fulham’s defense, the priceless Denis odoi will face Aubameyang.
New right back Kenny Tete he only joined the Cottagers on Thursday. Fellow new recruits Robinson and Mario Lemina (£ 4.5 million), together with loan repayments in Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (£ 4.5 million) and Jean-Michael Seri (£ 5.0 million), they all miss Parker’s Round 18.
Interest in Fulham assets, other than Mitrovic, is limited, although the midfielder Harrison reed (£ 4.5m) is at least getting started for those using the budget enabler on their FPL squads.
Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Rodak; Bryan, Ream, Hector, Odoi; Cairney, Reed; Knight, Onomah, Kebano; Kamara.
Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Log; Tierney, Gabriel, Holding; Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Elneny, Bellerin; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Willian.
