As Gameweek 33 takes shape at last, the current programme of fixtures draws to a conclusion at Craven Cottage under lights, as Fulham host QPR in a “do or die” fixture for the visitors. Harry Redknapp’s side desperately need the points from tonight’s London derby, a factor which should ensure that the neutral is in for a decent encounter.
From a Fantasy perspective, it’s all about Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian attracted huge interest going into the Gameweek, drawing over 70,000 net transfers over the past seven days. Having scored in three consecutive matches, Berbatov will carry the hopes of many Fantasy managers and present the key danger to Redknapp’s defence that is without a shut-out on the road since the 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge on January 2.

The team news finds Fulham unchanged as Bryan Ruiz allays fears of a hamstring problem to take his place in the Cottagers lineup, alongside Berbatov. Redknapp makes two changes in opposition, bringing in Armand Traore to replace Fabio at left-back, while Adel Taarabt is brought in from the cold to replace Park Ji-sung – an attacking change that emphasises the need for three points for the men from Shepherds Bush.
