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.

    Clint Dempsey!!! Yes, he is some player. The Dembele v Dempsey debate is over. Dempsey just tied the club record for goals in a season in top flight football for Fulham. Dempsey is essential to Fulham's attack.

        I'm pretty sure there wasn't. And if there was, it was retarded. One is an expensive midfielder, the other is a budget forward. Hardly comparable.

          Oh, I wasn't arguing 'good', as in player ability, etc.

          But, with the other DGWers available, he must have been on even your shortlist for possible C's, no?

          He does have the ability to score, get BPs, etc. and Fulham have 'favorable' opponents. Just saying: not a ridiculous pick for C this week.

              Fact is, if Ethers didn't go down so early and Zamora started twice, this convo would be likely moot.

              Don't blame Demps for being a '6/10' at a '5/10' gala ball. I have grown a 4-day beard in solidarity with my American brethern.

      The lack of other obvious captain choices helped Dempsey as a pick.
