Fantasy Premier League

Bullard hoping to start at Rovers

Fulham's Jimmy Bullard makes his return from injury

"Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard may start in Tuesday's FA Cup third round replay at Bristol Rovers after finally returning to full fitness.Bullard has completed rehabilitation from his career-threatening knee injury, sustained in September 2006, and came on in the second half of Saturday's Premier League match at former club West Ham."

 ---

Now why would Fulham do that?  Certainly give him 30mins.  But start him?  And risk his return to full or match fitness?  Hopefully they'll save him for the league which, at this point, has to be the priority.  Staying in the Premier League that is.  With Arsenal visiting this weekend he still may not be in your fantasy team's plans.  But at 5.68 he's certainly worth watching on the barn door.

    but will he shine as last year. you now away from the pitch for a year makes me really doubt that he will be back the same he was.. and thats bad, because he was brilliant..and more than brilliant.

    "The FA Cup third round replay between Bristol Rovers and Fulham is postponed due to waterlogged pitch." Never mind. ;-)
