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.

      Suarez IMO - only one untouched by rotation and arguably a better prospect if all were nailed on

    A real shame Chelsea have a blank this week - another Torreswagon would be in progress otherwise.

        Possibly, although you can say benitez wasn't in charge for all the other false dawns!

            Was it gws 21-24 we can play it? I'm thinking of delaying it as late as possible, hopefully to the final one, deadline day!

    This bonus system sucks, if ever there was a player that deserved bonus tonight it was Berbs, he was brilliant

      Yep. The point of bonus is somewhat defeated by it being an extension to regular scoring. This ppi system is the price of trying to be objective.

        I totally agree... the points scorers score more. That said, we all know this so complaining is a little sour grapes.

          Yeah, I don't even have him but situations like this make me question the point of bonus. He was the best player by miles. Then again I suspect yes many people would be arguing about this if say Ba scored! All the points getters were little owned.

            The old system, although obviously flawed, was far better... I think we all agree on that. I remember one gw where the amount of complaints over baps got them changed. They should have just ensured it was mostly done fairly and got on with it, a bit like refs.

    I would appreciate a good advice, with whom should I replace Noble for 6.9?

    I have 3 midfielders who are guaranteed starters (Bale, Michu, Fellaini) and I'm thinking about rotating Routledge, this new midfielder and Lambert (picking 2 of the 3) depending on their current schedule.

    My original intention was to get Nolan but his form lately has been discouraging. Maybe Adam Johnson? Or Sterling? Another alternative would be getting Puncheon and then next week upgrading Lambert to Ba. But Puncheon has a blank while Ba's price might up so I won't be able to afford him. Bah.
