Loftus Road provides the floodlit setting for the conclusion to Gameweek 6 as Mark Hughes’ QPR host West Ham. We’ve opened up the Dugout Discussion chatroom to catch the items that drop from the messy minds of Fantasy managers while the action unfolds.

The team news from tonight’s game is somewhat significant. There were mixed messages on the likely return of Andy Carroll to the Hammers lineup but, when the dust settled the big Geordie only makes the bench after his recent hamstring twang. He will loom large in reserve tonight, then. Sam Allardyce does make one change, however, bringing in Matt Jarvis for the unfortunate Matt Taylor on the left flank: Taylor is apparently carrying a knock. As for the hosts, they give a start to Djibril Cisse with Junior Hoilett the man to make way. Stephane Mbia is given a first Premier League start, in for the injured Jose Bosingwa.

QPR Starting XI: Cesar, Onuoha, Nelsen, Mbia, Hill, Park, Wright-Phillips, Granero, Faurlin, Zamora, Cisse.

West Ham Starting XI: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Collins, Reid, O’Brien, Noble, Diame, Nolan, Vaz Te, Jarvis, Cole.

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

    Which would you do:

    1. RVP + Guthrie > Suarez + Bale for a -4 hit.

    2. Guthrie + Naughton (I know...don't ask) > Sterling + Gibbs

    I don't really have a strong desire to get rid of RVP, but I would really like to get in Bale now (before Aston Villa fixture and price rise). But as of now, my probable starting defensive line-up for next week would be Baines (wig), Demel (ARS), and Clyne (FUL). Is that enough of a problem to hold off on Bale, or no?

    Kacaniklic to Sterling a worthy FT?
    Fancy Liverpool in their next two fixtures and quite fancy keeping Hazard and Michu for this GW.

    Other option would be to get rid of Tevez for Suarez, Crouch or Ba (already got Fletcher and RVP).
