Aleksandar Mitrovic must lead the line for Fulham, while winger Ivan Cavaleiro and Anthony Knockaert will both push for the starting point.
Former Cottagers Cauley striker Woodrow can be a starter for Barnsley after making a permanent loan. The 24-year-old scored 16 goals in 31 League One matches last season.
Preview
Even though it was a bad season in the Premier League for Fulham, Scott Parker actually still offers many players who won promotions in May 2018.

Mitrovic, Ryan Sessegnon and Tom Cairney were all vital cogs in the play-off victory campaign and the last two struggled to stay on top, but will be determined to rediscover their best form in the Championship.
While Tykes was very impressive in getting promotion from League One when he first asked, it was difficult to see them get something from this clash against the superior team.

Barnsley vs Fulham betting tips
Barnsley, who was universally known as Colliers, was remarkable during their summer preparation campaign. During 5 matches, they got 4 wins and one defeat. Furthermore, in them, they averaged 4 goals. I hope to see the same performance from them on Saturday, however, they face a much stronger side.
On the other hand, Fulham or The Cottagers as they call it in England, have produced a variety of results. During the pre-season campaign, they suffered 3 defeats, while gaining one win and a draw. Their latest defeat comes against West Ham with minimal results. They have many opportunities, however, they cannot repent when it is the most important. Despite recent performances, the quality of their squad gave them an edge over Barnsley.
