Saturday Dugout Discussion

The Gameweek gets underway at Villa Park, where United arrive to test Gerard Houllier’s young, injury ravaged side.

The team news finds Patrice Evra fit and in at left-back, with Wes Brown at right-back for the injured Rafael; interestingly he is preferred to John O’Shea who remains benched. Further forward, Nani and Ji-Sung Park take the flanks with Javier Hernandez returning to partner Dimitar Berbatov up front. Despite the recent injuries and illness, it’s a strong United lineup.

As for Villa, their lineup includes yet another youngster as Houllier continues to struggle with injuries, with Jonathan Hogg, who has just one appearance for the club, coming in for the injured Ciaran Clark alongside Barry Bannan in midfield. The headline from their camp however is that Gabby Agbonlahor returns to the forward line, ousting an unfortunate Nathan Delfouneso to the bench.

Things get underway in just under half an hour and as usual, we’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to cover this game and today’s other kick-offs. Share your Gameweek highs and lows with other Fantasy Managers right here.

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

        Frustrating isn't it. Had it on Drogba all week and changed it last night. Oh well, he could still make it a good move!

    As of now, Man City have the same number of points as they had this time last year! Was it a step forward replacing Mark Hughes with Mancini? I doubt it is the case."

    I thought my gw was over after 1 min when my transfer this week, mr stearman scored an o.g what an epic fail.

    bu my faith in mr bale has paid off. So far he's making up for all those 2 point returns. Let's hope he gets another goal and assist in 2 half!!!

    Sounds like alot of people got rid.
