  Why not? It'll strengthen your team. Welbeck doesn't look likely to score big points. Rooney has hat-tricks in him. Evans must be nailed on for a few weeks. Depends on how confident you are in Utd to keep up their form.

Anyone think that Wilkenson will drop tonight?? Sitting at -96% on fiso. Traget NTI - 5322 he is at -5097 todays net transfers - 470. According to FISO he needs 225 net transfers out to fall.

I really need one more day so that i can get a grasp on Jones' situation.

  Don't think Jones will rush him back from concussion especially home to Wigan when they can move Smalling in the middle with Evans and play Rafael right back. Jones to sit this one out and come back for the Blackburn game.
