Starting team...

[ChesterTheTabby]

#FFC starting XI v Manchester City FC: Stockdale; Heitinga, Hangeland, Amorebieta, Riise; Kačaniklić, Riether, Kvist, Sidwell, Richardson; Woodrow

Stekelenburg, Zverotic, Karagounis, Kasami, Holtby, Roberts and Bent all named on the #FFC bench at the Etihad.

Kasami should be starting. With Holtby being a late fitness concern, i understand that one... but Kasami? Well, I believe in Magath so let's see what happens.

I've seen a lot worse Fulham team selections this season!

I'm pleased that Stockdale kept his place. He has been dropped like a hot brick too many times in the past.

[Jimmy Hill]

Very Defensive but with a lot of energy, lets hope were still in it late in the game to bring on some attacking players late in the game.

SMASH AND GRAB

Humm. Riether LB & Riise wide left & Richardson the 10 role.. That´s different.

[Burt]

Good luck lads...

They will line-up like this:
----------------------Stockdale----------------------
-Heitinga----Hangeland---Amorebieta-----Riise-
------------------------Kvist-------------------------
---------------Riether--------Sidwell---------------
-Kacaniklic----------------------------Richardson-
----------------------Woodrow---------------------

I think its funny how many rant of the team selection on FFC Facebookj page, saying Felix not picking Holtby and Dejagah etc is wrong, and its MANY, they clearly dont know, Holtby has a minor injury, and they dont want to risk him today cus he can be vital last 7 matches.

Exactly why I mentioned it on this post. So many knee jerk posts about that. I think this is a very exciting team that we are putting out. Defensively minded but with bursts of energy. Let's see what happens.

Looks like another OT tactic. Frustrate them and hit them on the counter with pace.

Set out differently on the Offal team lineup.

i saw a very true line on twitter '' people would rather see their favourite players rather than a team performance '' that line is absolutely gold , and amazingly true for the majority of ' twitter ' fans

Please carry this on over at the matchday thread.

Admin, I don't see it up! I will move over once I see it, sorry for the Delay.

[Toby Ward-Smith]

Very defensive minded; 6 natural defenders, 3 center backs and 3 full backs, then Kvist as well

[Holders]

Precisely, it makes sense to start like that and we have the players to bring on later if necessary. Glad to see Stockers and Woodrow keeping their spots.

It would actually help if the match day thread was open for longer than 20 minutes before kick off
