The gameweek draws to a close at the Cottage tonight as Fulham play host to a Bolton side surely flowing with confidence following the late 2-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday. The Trotters have suffered a major blow when it comes to their starting lineup however, with the hottest of shots Daniel Sturridge failing to overcome an ankle knock suffered late on against the Gunners. He misses out, disappointing many a Fantasy Manager in the process.

There’s also a let-down in the Fulham lineup as Mark Hughes puts out an unchanged side; Bobby Zamora is once again warming the bench then, apparently suffering from a back problem. His owners will hope to see him emerge at some point though, and perhaps even earn an assist or two that qualifies for some points this time.

With the small matter of the Real vs Barcelona Champions League clash rumbling on in Spain, this post can be used to soak up all your floodlit comments, with real-time chat going on in the Dugout Discussion as per usual.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        probably wasn't a red but no way in hell real madrid could have kept out messi for 180 mins. his second goal was nothing to do with 10 men, he beat 5 players on his own, if they had 11 he would have just beaten 6. mourinho let himself down a bit today with his petulance.

      Was always silly to try and park the bus in the home leg. He managed to beat Barca last season with Inter by actually winning the home leg.

      Real's problem is that they don't have the defence that Inter do (or at least did), so they have to commit more bodies back.

        It's weird that they buy so much attacking talent and play such defensive football. Here's a stat for you faulk: Michael Carrick completed more passes last night than the whole of the Madrid team tonight.

          schalke did let him play much too much. when i defend carrick i'm not even saying he's great all i'm saying is he's no way near as bad as some people seem to think. he makes a few big errors, unfortunately as charlie adam highlights every single game if you give the ball away in that area of the pitch it really shows. a carrick misplaced pass is no worse than giggs missing his 1 on 1 last night for example. he just happens to be a bit of a scapegoat and unfortunate like goalkeepers that he's in a position where an error is fatal

    Even as a non Dempsey owner I don't mind all this Dempsey smugness. He is a double game week phenomena and those that got him and captained him deserve to be rewarded for paying heed to the stats.

    (I do say that though from the perspective of a relatively smug Hangeland owner)

      Except that next time you and I decide to get in on the Dempsey dgw act he'll get 2 and 1 or some crap like that.

      Just. Got to. Let it go.

    Yesterday, I finally passed the one person I don't wanna lose out to. Today my captain got the nice total of 0 points, vs his: 32(when he gets the 3 bps). I hate this f****** game.

    I seem to have missed this but was Zamora's assist for the last game wiped? What a disaster of a captaincy, the booking tonight being the final insult.

    I shouldn't be so smug that I brought Dempsey in and captained him for a 4 point hit, but I might get over 100 for the first time.

      Same here. Lost 28 points on my rival. I hate this game so much right now, amazing that a stupid online game can ruin my mood this much.

    2155: Wow. In an unprecedented move from Uefa, they've refused to allow either teams' players or staff to give an initial reaction to events at the Bernabeu as they have locked the sides in their respective dressing rooms in Madrid. Love it.
