Fisichella is only really impressive with small teams punching above their weight. That's why he did so well at Jordan in 2004 and at FI this year, and couldn't impress even when his Renault drive was on the line. He's the ideal man for FI next year, especially if they lose Sutil.
Bourdais to USF1 is a good fit - he's surely an honorary American after his success there (and his marriage to an American lady). Graham Rahal might be the best bet out of the IRL Americans right now.
I think this 'someone with cash' guy will probably get the second Williams drive above Hulkenberg.
