The Weekend Team News

Marouane Fellaini has a “good chance” of making Sunday’s Merseyside derby according to David Moyes. Pepe Reina is back in training following his recent hamstring problem and is expected to return between the sticks for Liverpool. Shinji Kagawa is ruled out for three to four with a twisted knee as Sir Alex Ferguson mulls over his plentiful options up front.

Frank Lampard won’t be turning out for Chelsea on Sunday; he’s been ruled out for a fortnight with a calf injury by Roberto Di Matteo earlier today. Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini hopes to calm the crisis talk with a win over Swansea – he’ll be without both David Silva and Pablo Zabaleta through hamstring injuries but rotation is expected nonetheless.

All this and more has been collected, collated and served in bite-size format, along with our predicted lineups, over in our team news section.

We’ll continue the updates up until the eleventh hour, with tomorrow’s Pre-Match preamble offering the teamsheet views from the press.

As always, keep an eye on our Twitter feed for the very latest.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Why, oh, why would you transfer RvP out?

      This is my line to every post that suggests that.

        And I hate to bust your "Must have RVP or rot forever in FPL oblivion where the weeping ad gnashing of teeth is" bubble, but the tactic seems to have worked out alright for him: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1191679/history/

      The only acceptable transfer out for RVP is Rooney, and even then it is risky.

    Mary has two children, one called Ronh who has three brothers and two sisters. Mary is very tired having to work two jobs to keep her children. Mary's husband Ronhy decides he wants to have his sons live with him after 10 years at Her Majesties service. Rohny's parents decide they will look after his daughters.
    What are the names of Rohn's sons?

    Who should I get rid of out of Rangel and Zab?
    Man City have good fixtures so if Zab is only out for a week and goes back into the 1st team he may be worth keeping?
    What are your thoughts?

    Thought it would be nice to end a heated day on a note of unity.

    Just occurred to me that we, as a forum, are all in this together. We're all helping each other move up the FPL ranks as one. Just look at how we're rampaging through the league of leagues. Streets ahead. There's at least one regular poster in the top 20 and tons in the top 1000. There is a very real chance the FPL winner will come from this board, like McGurn a few years ago.
