Tom Masters previews Fulham 's clash with Sunderland .
Fulham may have only played on Thursday night in the Carabao Cup, but they are once again in action on Sunday afternoon as they take on Sunderland in their first away trip of the season.

Alvaro Arbeloa has one win and one defeat to his name thus far as Fulham boss and will have been encouraged by the way the side were able to comfortably dispatch AFC Wimbledon.
But, there is no time to dwell on a good job done; it is straight onto the next job from a Fulham perspective, with the trip up north to take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
And that is the same predicament that fantasy Premier League managers find themselves in across the land.
Whether you had a top opening gameweek or one to forget, gameweek two is around the corner, with the deadline coming in at 6:30 pm on Friday night (August 28).

And so, it is time to make those decisions that could pay dividends come the end of the season.
Not sure about who to pick? Well, if there are any Fulham players who you were considering, then we may be able to help you.
Here are our three Fulham players you should consider for your FPL teams going into gameweek two.
Gonzalo Garcia - £6m
This may seem a very obvious pick, given he now has two goals in two games to his name since joining Fulham from Real Madrid , but Gonzalo Garcia could well be a good, cheap option for your teams going forward.
His finish against AFC Wimbledon was an incredible one, regardless of the opposition, and showed his ruthless streak in front of goal, as well as his pace, strength and desire.

Those are all traits that Alvaro Arbeloa will have loved and they are also traits that fantasy managers up and down the country will also be looking for in their players, especially in their £6m strikers.
Timothy Castagne - £4.5m
Now, the way that Fulham look to play this season, I would not expect too many clean sheets and thus, selecting a defender, you are going to need to look at quite a lot of upside elsewhere.
Castagne I would suggest has that, with the ability to pick up assists and goals only amplified by just how high the Fulham full backs are going to be this season under Alvaro Arbeloa.

Antonee Robinson and Ryan Sessegnon are more likely to share minutes than Castagne and Tete and at just £4.5m and matches against Sunderland and Bournemouth up next, there is a chance Castagne could be a decent cheap differential.
Josh King - £5.5m
Now it may seem an obvious choice given he was another goalscorer in the opening fixture, but Josh King's performance was so strong and his value is so good that he is a genuine option going forward.
His goal of course, came from a goalkeeping howler so bad from Rob Sanchez that Chelsea have decided to sign Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa , but his positioning, confidence and overall performance make King an enticing option going forward from an FPL perspective as well as for Arbeloa.
