Sunday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 12

Just the one game to keep us ticking over today, as Fulham play host to out-of-sorts Sunderland. Plenty will be hoping for another big haul from Dimitar Berbatov after a rare blank from Robin Van Persie at Norwich yesterday. As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open ahead of the 4pm kick off:

The team news is as follows:

Martin Jol makes three changes from the side that drew 3-3 at Arsenal last Saturday. The alterations all come in midfield, with Damien Duff coming in for Ashkan Dejagah on the right, while Alex Kacaniklic steps in for the injured Kieran Richardson on the opposite flank. Veteran Giorgos Karagounis earns his first league start for the Cottagers – he partners Steve Sidwell in the centre, with Mahamadou Diarra injured and Chris Baird serving a one-match suspension.

Schwarzer; Riether, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Duff, Karagounis, Sidwell, Kacaniklic; Ruiz, Berbatov

For Sunderland, Martin O’Neill makes two alterations from last week’s defeat at Everton. Phil Bardsley has shrugged off a hamstring problem to replace the suspended Craig Gardner at right-back, while Lee Cattermole’s recovery from a knee problem forces a midfield reshuffle. Seb Larsson is moved from the centre to the right, with Adam Johnson shifting to the left, meaning James McClean drops to the bench for the second time in the last three Gameweeks.

Mignolet; Bardsley, Cuellar, O’Shea, Rose; Larsson, Cattermole, Colback, Johnson; Sessegnon, Fletcher.

Why is Hangeland still leaking points when he was sent off before they conceded? Is that the rule because its kinda his fault?

so surprisingly so far I appear to have won the mantle of worst management decisions of the week on ghere.. McAnuff is included with 2 points.

Have Cuellar, Clyne, McA and Ruddy on bench - 23 points

played Baines, Hangeland, Bego and Ivan...

I'm taking this rather well. the joys of FPL

I know it's mid-game so imagine a lot are waiting for Berbatov's goal, but I'm seeing more red arrows recently than the f-kin RAF and would like to have your thoughts on where my team is really going wrong -

Jaas Begovic
Baines Sagna Nelsen Lowton Cameron
Fellaini Mata Pienaar Sterling Maloney
Tevez Ba RVP

It looks pretty decent but evidently, it isn't as it's consistently scoring just above average or poor.
