Last weekend saw a brace from Clint Dempsey grab the headlines in Fulham’s 2-0 win over Wigan as Mark Hughes’ side recovered from two straight league defeats to climb back into the top half of the table.

With a broken leg keeping Bobby Zamora sidelined for the next few months, Dempsey has been playing as an out-of-position forward for the Cottagers and the American has taken his chance to impress. In the six games Fulham have played since Zamora‘s Karl Henry-enforced injury, Dempsey has scored four goals and, taking Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Bonus Points into the equation, has racked up a total of 41 points during this period, compared with just 6 points in the first four league games of the season. Averaging almost seven points per game up front, then, Dempsey is making a mockery of the fact his price has dropped £0.3m (from £7m to £6.7m) since the season began.

In this latest Members article, we check out Dempsey’s key Opta stats from Gameweek 10 and compare them with his Fulham strike-partner Moussa Dembele. The result is somewhat surprising…

    Ok i know the guys over at the Guardian are just raving lunatics but they've got Tevez as a sure starter this weekend. Not even a doubt. Him being used as a lone striker?

        I wrote him off completely aswell but Mancini is quite desperate now and might make Tevez play. Would really want tevez if theres any info to back this up.

    Lots of talk on here about Bale being a bad choice? Can I ask why? He's clearly on form, got great fixtures and VDV is out. Why is Bale such a bad call on that basis?

      Premier League teams seem to have his number more than Champions League teams do - he's not a bad choice, but I think a lot of people on here got fed up with his string of poor scores after his brace in GW2 - I know I did 🙂

      If you definately need the player, its not a terrible call. Actually, do that, then sell mal for him in a couple of weeks when the ease of their fixtures reverse.

    advice anyone :)?

    A) leave team as it is, risk malouda not playing and having simpson come in
    B) do malouda -> cahill (free transfer)

      Malouda -> Cahill. Malouda will be rested in one of the next games anyway.

          I did read the posts after I left. Let them believe what they want to believe.
          This is a picture of me when I was 18. It was my fathers favourite.

          I'm inclined that it suits them and their misguided sense of manhood to maintain that a young woman is simply unable to play the game to a high standard.

          'Tossers' in a word is what I say.
          What say you Wagner?
