FUL vs MLW Dream11 : Unbeaten Millwall look to reassert their spot in the top 6 today when they take on wily customers Fulham in gameweek 4 of the Championship
After enduring a horrendous campaign in the Premier League in the 2018-19 season, Fulham saw themselves drop straight back down into the Championship after just a season in the echelons of English football. It was a horrifying outing for them in the top league, one where they never managed to come to terms with the competition at hand, seeing an absurd transfer policy result in their demise.
Despite being one of the highest spenders in the marquee league, Fulham’s failure to address their backline ended up unravelling their season. The side spent over 100 million, all across attacking players, leaving them in a predicament which saw them both leak goals and fail to imbed a culture of excellence in the frontline.
Now back in the Championship for the 2019-20, the side are looking to emulate their heroics of 2017-18 which saw them make the climb into the Premier League. Beginning with two straight wins, the side were ultimately defeated by Barnsley, a 1-0 defeat which saw them go under the top 6, a spot they’ll be looking to reclaim when they take on a tricky side in Millwall.
Unbeaten after their opening three encounters with the two wins and one draw, Millwall have been impressive for the discipline imbued in the side in the backline, parrying away opposition attacks with consummate ease. It has seen them register two cleansheets in the league, a performance they’ll be looking to emanate when they square off against Fulham today.

FUL vs MLW Dream 11 Picks
Goal-Keeper for FUL vs MLW Dream11
Millwall’s Bartosz Bialkowski is the first player to come into our side after emerging as a key component of his side’s resilient defensive display. He’s bestowed with an incredible skill set as a goal-keeper, having at his disposal the ability to get down quickly for saves along with diving in the right direction and will be among good saves today as well.
Defenders for FUL vs MLW Dream11
With Millwall having such a strong defence along with failing to really inspire infront of the opposition’s goal, the likelihood of either side registering a cleansheet today is a very real one. This sees us pick out two players from either side, names who’ll be pivotal in not only tackling and blocking for their side but maraud their way up the pitch as well.
This narrative sees us stick with the duo of Joe Bryan and Alfie Mawson from Fulham while from Millwall we have opted for Maholn Romeo and Jake Cooper. The two have in unison helped instil a culture of excellence at the back for the side, seeing their defensive conduct helping the side register two cleansheets and let in just the single goal across three encounters.
Midfielders for FUL vs MLW Dream11
The one goal and one assist for Tom Cairney see him become our first pick in this segment of our Dream 11 side. Fulham are a side known to play attacking football, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to scouring their way to the opposition’s goal with Cairney’s penchant for goals helping them massively in this quest.
Harry Arter comes in as well from the side while form Millwall we have gone in with Connor Mahoney. The two assists for him are a testament to his pinch perfect passes and crosses, seeing him find spaces which would otherwise be extremely arduous to exploit.
Strikers for FUL vs MLW Dream11
The two goals in three matches see us pick up Aleksandar Mitrovic from Fulham along with Ivan Cavaleiro. He has gotten a goal for himself as well and up against an extremely stringent Millwall outfit, this duo will need to be at its pristine best if they are to breach the opponent’s backline.
Two goal man, Matt Smith wraps up our Dream 11 side for this encounter from Millwall.
