The eighth gameweek of the season is brought to a close tonight at Ewood Park, as Blackburn Rovers host Sunderland.

The visitors are bolstered by the availability of their star striker Darren Bent, and out-of-position fantasy favourite Ahmed Elmohamady also starts to the relief of many. Elsewhere, there is only one change from the side that held Manchester United before the international break, as Danny Welbeck comes in for Boudewijn Zenden after not being eligible against his parent club.

The home side make two changes from their previous league outing at the Britannia Stadium, with Martin Olsson and Nikola Kalinic replacing Ryan Nelson and Mame Biram Diouf.

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Nzonzi, Jones, Emerton, Pedersen, El-Hadji Diouf, Kalinic

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Onuoha, Turner, Bramble, Bardsley, Malbranque, Cattermole, Elmohamady, Henderson, Welbeck, Bent

      Not having Nani & Tevez in FPL cost me dearly (as did forgetting to swap captaincy from Drogba). Mummy and Robinson almost rescued me and at least at 10,265 i am at my highest ever ranking.

      Good luck to all those taht made it through to the next round of the FFS Cup.

            I watched the turks against rangers and they were not very good so Sir Alex could rest several players. Banking on Nani to help me stay near the top. You reckon he is too good/needed to drop?

                Given how poor the Turks are that is my fear esp with game being on Wednesday and would be left with a no scoring player.

    Worth transferring Samba > Coleman? It would effectively be a 4 pt hit, since I'll probably get Cesc in next week.

        Yeah I could do that, but I dunno, maybe getting Coleman in is a good move.

        He has better games than Rovers do, and Everton haven't conceded a goal in 3 games and none when he's played.

        Making the move now would save me some money too, because Samba will inevitably drop, and Coleman is due a rise.

        I was winning by a few pts. He had Robinson to come and I had Samba and Elmo. Now Robinson managed the 3 bonus (10 all up and my opponent had him) and samba -2 sinking me by 4. Maybe just maybe he made 2 transfers but i doubt it. Too much firepower on the bench this week.

          I had an amazingly close call in my cup tie as well. I was behind on 23 points and pulled enough back to be 1 point ahead. He had Mummy and Jones. I had Robinson and Jones. I was praying for a score bore. Bonus points for Robinson was, well, a bonus!

          You can't be happy to see Rooney go, he was amazing last year. Just remember how good he really is. Anyway where would he go, there is just no other suitable clubs for him. Storm in a teacup, stirred up by the London press.

              What's this about his wife being in hospital, is this some more nonsense.
              Ever since Mario Gomez stepped on his foot last March he's had nothing but problems. He will play his way out of the slump I'm sure, and patch up his differences with SAF. No idea about his marriage, in fact no one knows because nothing has become public since the affair.

                  Er nah, VdV is basically Berba minus a few years. Saw that Utd haven't feilded the same team twice in a row now for 60 games or something silly. Could do with knowing what our 1st 11 is I reckon. Also, still not keen on the fact berba basically forces the 442, even though he's playing well.

                    I guess we could always try and just leverage him out for snejder, but rooney in the waiter's hands sends a shiver down my spine...

                    I thibk part of the reason for such a changeable eleven (apart from injuries) is that with hargreaves injured our midfield isn't balanced enough to play both in attack mode at old trafford against weaker sides and to also then go play away against stronger teams with more ambition going forward...

                He lost his pace years ago, but that didn't stop him scoring goals for Real Madrid and Newcastle. I wish SAF would give him a run in the side.

      First id wait until friday to see if you can find out whether droga is playing as Ancelotti may announce his team.
      Personally I think Fabregas is close to essential especially with his upcoming fixtures so id definatley try squeez him in .
      Its tricky cause you need chelsea players for this weeks fixture but arsenal for the following week so maybe, berbatov to drogba this week and arshavin to fabregas next week if you can afford it would be my suggestion

    If Rooney has a good CL game, what do Utd fans think his chances of starting next week v Stoke would be?

            Goals from Samba (*shakes fists at the oafish w*nker) and Koscielny have slightly made up for it, but other than that it's been a disaster. Especially annoying because I've been trying to play the fixtures carefully as well..

            At home to Wigan seems to always result in a 1 pointer these days, not a banker 6. The clever Jara/Enrique plan has been an absolute (Titus) shambles.

              that is crazy. i've never once thought your defence was a mess. i guess eventually if you play the fixtures the rewards will come, just don't bank on anything wigan related

                What's worse is that I've been specifically avoiding certain players like Elmo due to having bad fixtures, but he still seems to be getting loads of clean sheets...

                  elmo is becoming a pain. i can't see where any competition for that right mid spot is going to come from. may have to get him. he didn't really impress me tonight, but the sunderland defence did (ironically as i think turner is terrible normally) so that will help his cause a lot.

                    Yeah, and I refuse to get him until GW14 when fixture-wise, it makes sense to get him, but I'll be paying 5.3 or something ridiculous at this rate.

                    And it's not like he's getting deserved points either due to him playing OOP, just the one assist so far. He keeps getting 'free' cleanies due to the guys behind him.

                    And will Mignolet PLEASE lose his place soon!

                I still don't think that my defence is a mess... I've got decent players from teams that keep it tight at the back (Fulham, B'Burn, Newcastle and Chelsea) and their fixtures match up well... I blame absolutely terrible luck!

                Samba - red
                Enrique - Carroll within inches of diverting his cross
                Salcido - missed relatively good chance towards the end of Spurs game

                  Ditto, mine aren't that bad on paper either. It IS just terrible luck.

                  All the defenders I started with this week, Steinsson, Hahnemann, Samba and Enrique were all at home in favourable games, and yet no cleansheets still...

        I didn't mean to do so many at once but left a screen minimized and forgot to review it before confirming. Twatty. Teach me to have it on at work I spose but...nah it won't actually.
