Aleksandar Mitrovic
To say that Aleksandar Mitrovic walks on water would not even be an exaggeration. This season, in 24 league matches, in the championship with Fulham, he has already scored 27 times. His team is in the lead and on his side, he scores as he breathes.
It’s very simple: he has scored as many or more goals than 10 teams in this same league: Millwall, Blackpool, Preston, Swansea, Birmingham, Hull City, Cardiff, Peterborough, Derby County and Barnsley have scored a maximum of 27 times this season.

The question is whether 2022 will be another great year for Mitrovic. He started again well, with a new hat-trick this weekend, but the next few months will be important for him, whether individually or collectively.
First of all, the most goals scored in a season in the Championship is 31. It was held by Yvan Toney, the Brentford striker, in the previous season. 5 more goals and he will go down in history.
Then, his objective is obviously to return to the Premier League with Fulham. In the standings, Fulham are two points ahead of Bournemouth and Blackburn, but with one game less. As a reminder, the first two go straight up, positions 3 to 6 are in play-offs.
Finally, next November, there will be a World Cup to be played in Qatar and Serbia eliminated Portugal to qualify for this event. Thanks to a goal from Mitrogoal of course… He will then be 28 years old and will be at the top of his game and this time wants to succeed in a big tournament. The year 2022 is reaching out to him.
