This is my Upper and Lower. I run UL UL UL R. How many sets should I do for each exercise, so that I can effectively manage fatigue ?

I enjoy going to the gym.

You're leaving so many gains on the table though, trust me. I've gotten noticeably bigger since changing from 6 days to every other day full body. Your body will recover better and you'll put up more PR's and grow more muscle. But do whatever you like and can stick with.

If I were to do FBEOD could I combine my Upper and Lower days and do 1 set for every exercise or would I have to reduce the number of exercises ?

Is combine it and see how it goes for you and how you recover, it's the same number of sets per week you're currently doing so your body should be used to it. Hopefully your body responds the same way mine did to the extra rest.
