Fulham FPL: Who To Own, Captain And Avoid
The call — Fulham: When the Best Buy Is the Goalkeeper, Believe the Warning Our model's top Fulham pick for the next six gameweeks is Bernd Leno. When the strongest asset at a club is the man in gloves, that tells you everything about the other end — this attack ranks 18th of 20 in our projections, and the fixtures for goals grade…
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

And it does look friendly on paper: Ipswich away, Hull at home, Coventry away. The problem is what follows — Villa away, Newcastle at home, then a trip to the Etihad. So the window to profit is really three games wide, and you'd be backing the league's third-bluntest attack to cash it in.
Here's the bigger issue, and it's the one that kills the whole page for me: nobody at this club is nailed. Not Leno, not the defenders, not the attackers — every name in the table has been starting most weeks rather than all of them. A cheap player who plays is a bargain. A cheap player who *might* play is a lottery ticket at the same price, and Fulham are currently selling lottery tickets across the whole squad.
If you're determined anyway, the value sits at the back. The defence is mid-table decent, the clean-sheet fixtures are average rather than awful, and Leno, Bassey and Robinson all come at the bottom-shelf price with almost nobody owning them. Robinson even carries penalty involvement, which is a strange sentence about a full-back but a real one. In midfield, Iwobi is the quiet curiosity — he's on free kicks, corners and shares penalties, owned by roughly nobody — but a set-piece taker who gets subbed off or rotated is a set-piece taker who blanks.
The attackers — Josh King, Gonzalo, Bobb — are priced for what they might do, not what they reliably do. In an attack this blunt, against Villa, Newcastle and City in the back half of the run, I'm not paying for might.
The call: leave Fulham alone for now. The only pick I'd genuinely consider is Leno at the minimum price — and even him I'd wait on until he's starting every week, not most weeks. Cheap and rotating isn't cheap. It's just small.
