Friends of Fulham

And no guessing please!

If Shorey played in the qualifier where Villa were knocked out does that cup tie him?

And I'm sure I read/heard/dreamed that there was a rule in european cups that meant players were 'reset' at January meaning even if Okaka played for Roma in the first part of the competition he can play for us in the second part. It's part of the whole registering your squad again for the knockout phase I think.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Yes they are both cup tied for sure.

Yep both Cup Tied unfortunately!

Looks like Kelly at LB :-X

Here's a link to our current Europa league squad:

if Greening gets another yellow he will miss the away leg.

Yep, they're both cup-tied as a result of the following rules:

18.17 For all matches from the start of the round of 32, a club may register a
        maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the
        current competition. Such registration must be completed by 1 February
        2010 at the latest. This deadline cannot be extended.
18.18 One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club
        competition matches for another competing club in the current season may
        exceptionally be registered provided that the player has not been fielded:
       

       
• in the same competition for another club,
• for another club that is currently in the same competition.

        Furthermore, if the player's new club is playing in the UEFA Europa League,
        his former club must not have played in the UEFA Europa League at any
        point in the current season

As I understand it, Elm is our 1 player who we could register despite him playing in UEFA competitions this season.  He turned out for Kalmar in the CL 2nd qualifying round.

bugger bugger bugger...

anyway well done guys on some first rate research that I clearly couldn't be assed to do!

Thanks!!

Elm works out because he played in the Champions League, not the Europa League.
