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.

                    Bad blood is an exaggeration, but lets say there's a reason why this site doesn't link to TFPL.

                    I think the mods on here (and myself as well) weren't too happy about how Frank went about things at the start. Nothing particularly tense, just the way he used this site and CTC to start up his own, then cut them both loose when he had his own thing.

                  The chats on here used to be really cool in the earlier days. But as the site got more popular, the chat got too hectic and it was hard to keep up.

                  Loads of people ended up doing those false goal shouts too, which was really annoying.

        Silva looks a good transfer target this week. With Noble out and Parker doubtful he could do some real damage in the West Ham midfield. And then a DGW to follow of course. Looks a good replacement for Nasri.

            That (Terry to Kolarov) might be a good idea for two reason. You'll cover your rival with Luiz. Also, with ManU coming up for Chelsea, you won't want to double up on that defense..

          I've gone for Silva after much thought between him and Yaya.
          Looking at the stats there's nothing in it in terms of assists and goals, and even overall points for the season.
          I think of Silva as more of a playmaker, similar to Fabregas who plays the final ball before they score...but now i've picked him, let's hope that final ball doesn't go to Yaya!!

            At this point in the season, yes...but if your chasing than you gotta do what you gotta do. Even with that said I'm contemplating a 4pt hit.

              If Kolarov gets a cleanie and Terry doesn't, that 2 net points. Think about if the risk is worth it. By spending the four points, you're paying for the cleanie. Just do them over two weeks.

                The DGW coming up has my thinking all screwed up...

                I suppose I could just do Nasri to Silva...but I feel as though to make Kolarov worth it you almost have to bring him in this week with a pretty difficult DGW36(no locks on CS that week, not that its a lock this week either).

                It will all be over soon...

          Argh, my plan of booting out Dempsey and bringing in Silva seems less convincing now, what with Dempsey on fire last night (and Sunderland up next) and Sturridge an injury doubt.

          Can anyone help?

          Front 8:
          Fabs, vdv, Dempsey, Adam, O'Hara
          RVP, Sturridge, Bent

          Should I
          1) Dempsey -> Silva, bench O'Hara
          2) Fabs -> Silva, bench O'Hara
          3) O'Hara -> Yaya, bench Sturridge

          Any other ideas? (Maybe bringing in Odem for Sturridge in addition to one of the above?)

          normally would say no - but its a double and we are nearing the end i think you will have covered bonus points in that lot to cover any loss from transfers - or maybe do i free and then a 4 point hit next week for the other 2.

            I thought Adebayor & Mourihno's behaviour was disgusting & Barca just played the game. Mourihno just crying like a baby because he didn't get his own way, he runs his mouth before the match but can't give the fans an interview after the game? What a bad loser.

                Yes i agree but I think the likes of Ronaldo & his team mates would do the same given the chance. Just this time it went Barca's way & Mourihno spat his dummy instead of taking the loss like a professional.
                As for Adebayor moaning that Barca were falling over crying like babies, it actually showed more that he was crying like a baby himself whinging about that instead of giving positive feedback

          Ok they scored five last week , however that was last week , and Kuyt is notoriously inconsistant.
          Surely Silva has to be prefered or if a four pointer then Silva and Toure
