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

    Brought in Adam last week for the first time last week as all my rivals have him and he's been hurting me every week. Picked him today ahead of Carroll and every one of my rivals has benched him! 😕

      i think thats called the anderson/gibson effect.

      Its an anomaly where two of the pooest midfielders in the league play for the league leaders and waste posession/fail to get into good attacking positions.

      United have not executed very well in the final third, its not fair from clicking though, Everton look toothless and Evans and Ferdinand have been comfortable so far, Fabio has owned anything down that side, they need Cahill on there for set piece potential, outside of that, it wont be long until United do put something together I think.

      Rooney needs to keep the head though, he does look very wound up.

        agree, they have looked a bit clueless and Beckford has still not one an aerial duel with either Ferdinand or Evans, Evans has been unusually solid, but not tested that much, bar the penalty incident, which we have all seen given but would have been harsh

        It will make the end of the season that much more exciting. Here's to hoping Everton can steal a goal and take the win.

      Really hope everton can hold on but can't see it happening, United always score at home and if anything they'll get some help from refs!!

        ABU!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Only just seen the Everton penalty shout, must have been watching the Roma game when that happened. Fairly standard stuff at Old Trafford.
