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 got Ba for Odemwingie, even with the fixtures I think he's a better bet than anyone else around his price range. West Ham scored 3 goals in each of their last 3 games, so I think they'll continue to score well.

          It's literally an absolute must win for us if we want to have a hope of getting into the playoffs.

          That said we look low on confidence and form. I think it really could go either way. I would have confidently bet on us to win against Cov and Norwich at home but be blew both of them (Norwich were good but we were terrible, Cov were shit and we were equally shit).

          I'm not sure i'd put money on it as a neutral tbh if that's why you ask. If we turn up we should smash them it's just that we haven't turned up in 4 of our last 5 games.

        bbc says: there will be a replay at the Reebok Stadium on Tuesday 5 April

        Bolton & birm play in week 31 on 2 april (they actually play each other)

        so i guess there is probably no impact to PL games

      United arsenal in my opinion is a gamble - big games like these can always go either way.

        i know i thought that
        just think man u at home, had a week off, even though they have a few injuries and a big game on tuesday will be just too strong for arsenal after what happened to them in barcelona

      And Fulham-Bolton now won't take place on the weekend of GW33, and will need to be rescheduled.
