Club x Club: Fulham

The Club x Club series gets to Fulham, and Tim doesn't hide the sarcasm: this is a squad he fancies for the drop, now run by a rookie manager fresh off a rough Real Madrid stint, having lost their set-piece taker, their striker and more. Not a lot to work with, but the lads go hunting for value anyway.They run the handful of names actually being drafted. The unproven Real Madrid striker who could be a Michu-level bargain or a total bust, and exactly when you'd gamble on him. The former Mr Reliable creator whose position under the new boss is a genuine mystery, the two "first-name" wingers going late that split the room, and the returning full-back the group rates highly on his best form but can't trust to hold down a starting spot. Plus the late-round dart throws worth a punt only if the price is basically free, and a running theme of Tim's about why the real value at these rounds sits with defenders, not Fulham's forwards.It closes on a blunt hot take: the new manager is gone by Christmas and Fulham join two of the promoted sides on the way down. Everything's timestamped to August 10th.Join the community and the listener leagues through the Discord: 👉 https://discord.gg/FAuaGADgEA
