2 - 5 ... ugh!

Schwartzer

Kelly............Hughes..........Hangeland......Riise

.................Diarra
Duff.....................................Frei
............... Dembele

......Petric........Rodellega
 
4 out of 5 must admit a couple were complete guesses though!

Also regarding the team I'd pick the same as Cottager although I'd perhaps be inclined to leave out Duff for Frei so having a trio of Kaca, Frei and Ruiz playing off Petric as it would be a nice glimpse of the future, though maybe I'm just being controversial.
 
................Schwarzer
Riether.. Hughes.. Hangeland.. Riise
......Diarra...... Dembele
..Duff... ..Ruiz..... Kacaniklic
...........Petric

With the proviso that if Hughes is still injured, then Chris Baird comes in and if Bryan is Jet Lagged, then Hugo
This is pretty much the team I would expect to play. We do need to actually make a signing in this transfer window at some point, rather than relying on our free pick ups...

3 out of 5. Can't disagree with Cottager58's team. Massive opportunity now for Kaca - hope he can prove that we don't need to sign a direct replacement for Clint. Looking forward to the game and seeing the new look Cottage. 2-0 Fulham is my prediction, although at the back of my mind is the dismal 0-0 against Villa on the first day of last season. It's going to be 30 degrees so we have to keep possession as much as possible as we don't want to be chasing around trying to win it back too much.
 
In comparison, last year's opening day line-up vs Villa

................Schwarzer
Hughes.. Senderos.. Hangeland.. Riise
Duff...Murphy ..Etuhu..Dempsey
.....Zamora......Johnson

Tomorrows predicted:

................Schwarzer
Riether.. Hughes.. Hangeland.. Riise
......Diarra...... Dembele
..Duff... ..Ruiz..... Kacaniklic
...........Petric

Much much prefer our starting line-up this year, even wihout Dempsey.
 
Looks more balanced doesn't it Gilly? Really looking forward to see Bryan make his mark this year.

Extemporised

Thought that's what they dusted his broken toe with. No, quite correct Fulhaman; can't blame this one on one of my typos.
