Saturday Dugout Discussion

Gameweek 34 kicks-off with a trip to Old Trafford between Premier League leaders Manchester United and Everton. Then we have six 3pm games to pour over, followed by an evening game where West Ham visit the Champions. The Surgery has shut for the week, but the Dugout Discussion chatroom takes it place. So come in, sit down, and enjoy the roller-coaster ride that is Fantasy Football.

The team news from our early game is in and it’s certainly eyebrow-raising stuff…

Man United XI: Van Der Saar, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Evans, Fabio, Valencia, Gibson, Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Hernandez

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Neville, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Beckford

Sir Alex pulls out another totally unpredictable line-up, which sees rests handed to key defenders Patrice Evra and club captain Nemanja Vidic. Dimitar Berbatov again fails to even make the substitutes bench, with a groin injury the reason.

The visitors line-up is much more like what we all expected, with Jermain Beckford up top on his own in front of a midfield five. That midfield five does not include either Tim Cahill or Mikel Arteta, with the latter not fit enough to make the bench.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

    Played Baines over Coleman... Can't complain...

    Everton should have had a penalty and Baines would have scored..

    But we all know that Utd get all the decisions 😆

    I still think Rooney is extremely likely to get the 3 baps, if just because he dropped back and 'played for the team' which I'm sure the judges will lap up.

            English commentators jizz themselves over Wayne Rooney non shocker.

            If the BPs judges went by the comments of the likes of Jonathan Pearce when deciding the BPs, then Rooney would end up with 114 every season.

            tommy he will likely be involved due to the amount of touches he got but was i watching a different game or did rooney give it away A LOT. i don't blame him fully as part of the reason he dawdled on the ball so long and got dispossesed was that he had no one to feed. he gave it away a lot and made 1 attcking contribution all match (pass to hernandez 1st half when hernandez hit it straight at howard)

              Hmmmm- but was anyone really that dangerous for us? I just think his overall contribution (starting counterattacks, winning the ball back in midfield and feeding our wingers) are worth some, possibly 3 baps.

              Oh well we'll see come 8:00! 😛
