Goals Scored: 5

The Serbian finds himself among the big names in the league, but it is only because he deserves his place at Number 4. Mitrovic has started every game for Fulham in the Premier League this season and got his first goal in the Cottagers’ second game, scoring the only goal in a 3-1 defeat to Spurs. He scored a brace against Burnley in the next game, earning Fulham a memorable win. Against Brighton, he scored to make it 4 goals in his first 4 games. He failed to score in the game against Man City, but scored the equalizer against Watford. Last weekend, he missed out from the score sheet against Everton, a game Fulham lost 3-0.

Last season, the Serbian was vital in Fulham’s quest for promotion from the Championship, scoring 12 goals from 17 games. This season, he has already registered a whopping 31 shots, with 12 of them on target. He has also hit the woodwork 3 times and missed 2 big chances. Mitrovic has an impressive goals per game ratio of 0.71 and the Serbian will be hoping to at least surpass his returns from last season. Indeed, Fulham will be resting their hopes on their fantastic Serbian striker, and he will be indispensable in their fight for survival.
