  14 years, 2 months ago
  Good signing, would be fine alongside Murphy in CM but it's tough to see where or how he'll fit in. Murphy won't get dropped, Dempsey and Ruiz on the midfield flanks are pretty much nailed on, Pog up top is scoring goals, and Fulham are a much better team with AJ up top in a 442, and Dembélé seems to be revelling in his CM role = no room for Diarra. Only way for Diarra to get game time I'd guess is to see AJ dropped and Dembélé shifted to advanced midfield / second striker with Diarra/Murphy in middle... but given how well Moussa is getting on in CM (see almost any Jol interview of late) it's tough to see that happening. Current predo: FFC bench fodder...

pick 2 to play from Caulker, Taiwo and Santon

does anyone think I should bench Santon this week, they may be at home, but it's the Tyne and Wear derby and Sunderland will have a point to prove.

    Yep.
    
    I'm way short if that unfortunately.
    
    By my estimations most gameweeks you need close to 10 bonus points to get a bigger green arrow after the last update, so this might be a stinker as I only got 2. As this is a week where many of the usual suspects failed to deliver you might be able to get by with less.

      GW26: No transfer
      GW27: Ben Arfa>Surman
      GW28: Hart and Welbeck> Friedel/De Gea & Rooney.
      
      Hoping De Gea keeps his place so I can double up on our defence but who knows, he has been awesome of late.

Any suggestions for transfers? 2ft 0.1m in bank.

  Wouldn't be rushing to do anything before Tuesday as we might find out about some rearranged GW29 fixtures later in the week, which is where you want to focus your transfers.
  
  If you really have to though I would try and get Kompany in for Richards somehow. BAE might be the only way, or maybe Vorm.

One of those weeks. Have to be satisfied with 46 after captaining Ba. Sold the Barn Door for him so that didn’t work out but faced with the same fixtures again, and given Ba plays in 29, I think it was the right call. Onto next week!

Where the majority captain Aguero.. With a few Dempseys thrown in perhaps!

    Good point about his role in the side now though. He was shoved left wasn’t he. Can’t argue with Pogregnyak’s impact though, Dempsey seems to be taking one for the team. He still had efforts on goal though, he is so selfish he always has a few pops!

  BBC live text have him down as blocking three QPR shots.
  
  65:11 Effort from 30 yards by Taye Taiwo. Blocked by Aaron Hughes.
  
  65:11 Shot from 30 yards by Shaun Wright-Phillips. Aaron Hughes gets a block in.
  
  58:20 Joey Barton takes a shot. Aaron Hughes gets a block in.
  
  Given that the BBC seem not to have corrected the obvious error, at 65:11, I guess he was probably credited with 3 blocks in the Press Association data?
  
  Casual racism ftw! Earned Hughes 2 BPs here. 😉

A wholly underwhelming bonus experience this week - but that's ff I guess.

Moving forwards, what is the general consensus on the most probably date (roughly) that the FACup-postponed gw29 fixtures are likely to be rearranged for?? Could they well just bump them to midweek the very same gameweek, thereby removing the threat of blank fixture weeks for RvP, Sessegnon & co.? Ta muchly...

      No, it's not true.
      
      First of all you've got your positions messed up, he's not really "dropping to midfield" any more than Van Persie is for example. It's a myth created on here that strikers are not supposed to do that.
      
      Secondly, when playing with Leon Best he still had the instinct to link up play more than Best did.
      
      It's fine if you want to sell him but the reasons you provide are inaccurate. He's only gone two games without scoring.

  Interesting take on Hughes v Senderos selection dilemma at Fulham: http://cravencottagenewsround.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/senderos-v-hughes-its-the-passing/
  
  Kelly at £4.0m is a bargain for a nailed on Fulham defender, if you want a same-club replacement for Senderos... decent fixtures too. Riise is over-weight, over-priced, and under-achieving. When, if ever, will that first Fulham goal come...??

      Yeah PS is still in with a shout - only lost his place to injury/doubt etc. Hughes as done well in his absence (Fulham earned their first bakc-to-back PL wins of the season since he returned to the startin XI) and thus might well keep the spot, but Senderos is the future and seems to suit Jol's style more so could easily return in the coming weeks...
      
      [As a Fulham fan I'd prefer it if the cumbersome Senderos didn't return too quickly. We've missed Hughes & Hangeland's near telepathic understanding of each other's games this season...]

I think the plus for many of us on here with scoring poor BPs, is that if you look most of them have been awarded to players that I wouldn't expect a lot of the better ranked managers to own.

Scholes and Giggs are 2 good examples.

So don't think low BPs will punish us as most weeks.

  I'm not captaining him, but benching RVP is utter madness, especially against a team that shipped two against Cardiff. Liverpool defence is good on the whole, but what happens if there's a penalty? His goal against Spurs as well, showed he can score against anyone. I admire your courage but benching RVP is borderline mentalist.
