Saturday Duguout Discussion

Gameweek 27 gets off to a potentially inauspicious start as Fulham pay host to Stoke City at the Cottage. Having been robbed of Premier League action last Saturday, today’s opener isn’t perhaps our fixture of choice, with both sides struggling for form. The Potters turn up with just one win in their last seven, whilst Martin Jol’s side have scored in just one of their last four. We’re hoping for goals and entertainment; we fear a 0-0 battle of attrition.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open to collect you real-time reactions to this game and Saturday’s other five fixtures.

The team news from the Cottage finds Martin Jol able to welcome back Sascha Riether after he missed the 0-0 draw against Norwich through illness. Giorgos Karagounis and Ashkan Dejagah also earn starts in midfield as Emmanuel Frimpong and Hugo Rodallega drop out, the latter earning a place on the bench. Visitors Stoke make two changes – both significant. As we expected, Marc Wilson, the much publicised 3.9 prospect, returns at left-back with Andy Wilkinson making way. Geoff Cameron is the other popular Fantasy pick to reappear: the American international is given a midfield berth on the right with Michael Kightly making way.

RVP -> Suarez and drop Wally to the bench?

Not a knee jerk to today's games, I'm genuinely stuck as who to bench.

Jussi
Zabaleta – Jevans – Shaw
Mata – Fellaini – Michu – Bale
Suarez – Sturridge – Lambert

Fed – Walcott – Davies – Demel

Epic gameweek so far 😀 Somehow it's more fun when it's low scoring. The Pogrebnyak red card was just the cherry on the top. Lol. My guess is Bale captainers will be rubbing their hands in delightful anticipation now.

RVP to Rooney?

Or could we now be seeing both RVP and Rooney rotated to buggery with the league pretty much sewn up?

Bought Rafael 4 weeks ago and he promptly rewarded me with 23 mins and a yellow for zero points... Since then he has got 6, 9 and a probable 15. No hard feelings for the first week... 🙂
