The last nine gameweeks have seen Fulham string together a series of results that have crept quietly under the radar, as Mark Hughes’ side climb the table after a poor first half to the season. Four wins, four draws and just one defeat in a run of games that has seen them face the likes of Chelsea, Man City and a resurgent Liverpool has allowed two players in particular -Damien Duff and Clint Dempsey- to shine for the Cottagers.

Sparky’s side have scored thirteen goals over those nine games and whilst Fulham’s forward line has contributed a paltry total of three strikes, wide men Duff and Dempsey have helped themselves to eight of those thirteen (four apiece) and are showing little letting up as the team goes from strength to strength.

In this latest article for Members, we take a look at the pair’s key OPTA stats from that run of matches – gameweek 22 through to gameweek 29 to assess the Fantasy scoring potential for the run-in…

    I'd be very surprised if Utd aren't full strength today, there is no way Fergie will let them lose 3 on the trot.

      too true

      and its against the premiership rivals, so psychologically a win means something!

      🙄 Yeah, and while Fergie is "not letting them" lose three in a row, do think he can rustle up another tsunami?

      What's full strength?

      We have no Valencia, Park or Nani. Fletcher on the wing is hardly full strength.

          That it can't be a full strength team? Darron Gibson might be playing. "I’d be very surprised if Utd aren’t full strength today". Prepare to be surprised.

            I mean full strength as in the best team that's available, players won't be rested for Marsaille like you've said. No need to be so picky.

            Aha!
            "sike"
            An slang term that began in the late 70's. The word sike is used to negate what ever statement might have come before it. It basically means, "just kidding" or "yea, right". Usually, a pause is given between the original statement and the "sike" as to see if the original comment caused a reaction, before people realize that the person was just kidding. It is used in exactly the same way "Not!" was used, when coined by the Wayne's World movies.
            George Bush is the greatest president ever... Sike!

          Yeah, I'm yet to decide on that one to be honest. Tait could destroy Kenya and Canada, but is at a much greater risk of being rested given his persistent injury problems.

    Birmingham manager Alex McLeish on the changes he has made for today's FA Cup quarter-final: "I can't take risks and everyone out today has got a genuine complaint. I could not have played them because I cannot risk being without people like Roger Johnson for six or seven games with muscle injuries.

    Piling up on the aussies then. I will have Watson Haddin and tait.

    Hoping for australia to bat first, as if kenya do it could be all over before they get to 50 runs, and that isn't even an exaggeration.

    What are people doing about the Kiwi-canada match. It could be another killing.

      Planned to have Vettori for that one, now just have Ryder (c) and Cheema - who undoubtedly get a duck and his medium pace trundlers will get destroyed.
