Monday Dugout Discussion

Two games remain in Gameweek 16, with tonight’s match at the Cottage next up on the agenda. Fulham go in search of their first win since Gameweek 8, while Newcastle will be hoping to replicate their result from last Monday evening, which earned the Magpies a convincing win over Wigan. As usual, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open ahead of the 8pm kick-off.

The team news finds an array of changes in Martin Jol’s lineup. The Cottagers welcome back skipper Brede Hangeland from suspension, with Chris Baird and Alex Kacaniklic coming into the midfield and Hugo Rodallega starting up top, presumably with Dimitar Berbatov prompting in a support role. Philippe Senderos, Mahamadou Diarra, Karim Frei, Ashkan Dejagah and Mladen Petric all make way. Visitors Newcastle make just one change – Hatem Ben Arfa returns from injury with Sylvain Marveaux dropping out. A 4-2-3-1 formation is again expected from Alan Pardew’s men, with Demba Ba leading the attack and Papiss Cisse taking up a wider support role.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Thinking of swapping him for Rooney. Thoughts? Or we could wait for the QPR game in order to decide.

      I love Berbatov but come on, season keeper? He's fired blanks 5 GWs running. He's scored 5 goals, 2 of which have been pens. Newcastle were basically playing 2 at the back for 15 minutes and he still couldn't manage to get points, mostly becasue the players around him are garbage.

        That's the problem, if he was playing for a better team he would be fantasy gold.

        Don't forget assist potential though. He created 4 chances this week, Lambert was the only striker to do better.

        Also more touches than any other striker by far, including in the final third.

          That is what i mean, he has a lot of assist potential, but that potential isn't turning into points becasue he doesn't have quality players around him to finish off his passes.

          But he isn't and if he was playing for a top four team he would be priced accordingly. Fulham have scored 27 goals, only behind United, City, Spurs, Chelsea

    Foster – Begovic

    Sounds tough but should be easy if neither Fletcher and Gunter don't play...that will bring 18 points off the bench. that'll only leave 5 more to get from Federici, Cuellar and Gardner (c).....

      They already earn half ... 1 point rather than 2. Punishing a sub when they score/assist is crazy-sauce.

      The game is about assembling the best 15 players for rotation and substitution. Don't be haters of people with good benches.

      If so, just switch to an 11 player team.

    With my WC still in tact... sometimes I like to come up with a potential... and every time I'm tempted.

    What do you think?

    Potential WC team:
    Guzan | Mignolet
    Shawcross | Bassong | Rafael | Mertersacker | O'Brien
    Duff | Bale | Puncheon | Fellani | Michu
    Rooney | Suarez | Defoe

    From this (my original raggamuffin crew):
    Foster | Federici
    Enrique | Baines | Cameron | Reid | Clyne
    Sterling | Maloney | Sess | Michu | Silva
    RVP | Ba | Defoe
