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.

    Evening guys,

    Really Really hope i can get some advice, 40 points behind the leader for 400 smackers, no idea really what to do. The leader has the same players as me bar 4 (in caps). Need to do something he wont see coming i guess, god knows what though:

    Foster (Mignolet)
    BAINES, Luiz, Huth
    Lamps, YOUNG, Yaya, Adam
    DROGZ, Vp, STURRIDGE

    Providing all fit i could save the transfer for next week, but i feel times running out to make up a 40 point gap

    Cheers

        I was thinking about Foster to Hart but surely this week Fosters as gaurenteed as it comes for a cleanie, and surely Kuyt will only be for this week?

          Agree about Foster, but Hart's got a cleanie this week as well, so you might as well increase the differential factor. Kuyt, on the other hand, is a keeper for the run-in. They're on a role and their fixtures look good. Or, if you don't like Kuyt, mavbe Suarez for Drogs? I think 'Pool are motivated and clicking.

    Hmmm. Hopefully Baird gets that assist.

    Meireles's is totally different. But shouldn't be given (Just seen it for first time, when actually looking at assister).

    It is 50/50 IMO on the Baird assist.

    For some reason I really liked Pedro up until tonight. What a tw*t. Same goes for Busquets, who I happen to think is a brilliant footaballer but possibly the biggest cheat ever. In one way I think all diving is equally bad but the thing players do when they run into someone or get an arm to their chest and falls over holding their head makes my blood boil.

    Messi is good, isn't he.

      That game pretty much summed up why I like football Garg, not love it anymore. It should've been a phenomenal game but was utterly ruined by a bunch of cheating morons.

      Messi was the saving grace of that game though. What I like about him most is that he takes a good few knocks every game, but very rarely rolls around, feigns injury, tries to get people booked, etc, etc. Just gets straight back up. Classy classy footballer, classy guy (it seems to me anyways).

          I had a decent start. Up to 7k but in a 7 week period, found myself 90k 🙁

          Managed to get up to 17k again now. But it seems. 1 bad week can ruin 3 weeks of good. I.E, next week I could get a crappy 45, and go down to 32k again.

          Which is annoying. But blimey. For you. 13 green arrows in 14 weeks. Well done.

          I'm sure you have moved to 1928 points and so I have included them and your last 13 gw average is 71

            Did you take your hits in to account?

              nah. I've made 1 hit a week for maybe 8 weeks out of those. but can't complain. Usually do it if i'm getting a new captain in place. It prob does come to around 72 after that. But i still think thats good compared to my record up until xmas.

              For the 13 weeks you had 1928-1005(gw21 cumulative score)which gives 923 points an average over 13 weeks of 71

                As I say you haven't taken in to account your '52 point' hit

                    A bit like the top score of 139 points-he took a 40 point hit so only scored 99 for the week!

                    ;p did i mention i have a law degree and a way of expanding the truth.

                    The main point i was getting at was from the first half of the season to the second...on average there has been an avergae of 28pts difference...u will blush at hits i made before jan too.

                    n 71 aint all that bad every week for 13 weeks
