3. Kostas Mitroglou (Olympiakos to Fulham)

Only three teams in the league have scored fewer goals than Fulham (22). The Cottagers are rooted to the bottom of the table, thanks to a 3-0 home defeat to Southampton in the latest round of fixtures.

They have really struggled this season, which has resulted in Dimitar Berbatov’s loan exit to big-spenders Monaco, who themselves have lost a striker in Radamel Falcao, due to injury.

His replacement, Kostas Mitroglou, now has to shoulder the goal-scoring responsibility. A meeting with Manchester United in the Champions League was on his calendar, but he now has to prepare himself for a basement battle.

Mitroglou Goals Scored

He scored 13 goals in 12 appearances in the Greek Super League, plus three in five in the Champions League. Rene Meulensteen will be hoping he transfers those numbers to English football. For Fulham’s sake, he’d better.
