The first double-gameweek of the season rolls on with two fixtures tonight, as Newcastle United host Manchester United, and Everton face Bolton Wanderers. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to capture you views on the events as they unfold.

Again the drama starts tonight with the (sometimes untrustworthy) incoming team news, but here are the official line-ups…

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, Ryan Taylor, Tiote, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Shola Ameobi, Ba

Man United XI: Lindegaard, Valencia, Ferdinand, Jones, Evra, Park, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney

Two changes for the home, as Gabriel Obertan misses the opportunity to face his former club. Also out is Haris Vuckic, with Davide Santon and Shola Ameobi starting for the Magpies.

As for the visitors, Sir Alex drafts in Anders Lindegaard, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney for the trip to St. James Park.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Donovan, Neville, Heitinga, Osman, Stracqualursi, Saha

Bolton XI: Bogdan, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Ricketts, Mark Davies, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Eagles, Ngog

Whilst the game in the North-East will hold the attention of most, fantasy managers will have one eye on the game at Goodison Park, where Everton play their first fixture of two this gameweek.

David Moyes boldly goes with two strikers up front and starts Landon Donovan for the first time in his two-month loan period.

The Bolton team news is that Gary Cahill starts, despite his expected imminent move to the capital.

        He has, although I think he'll be fine. He's been like that simply because of Man Utd's defensive troubles

      B looks good, but i'd probably go with Sorensen/Krul/Ruddy over Mignolet. A few people are going with McClean but obviously I don't think he'll be nailed on all the time maybe Sess instead if you can afford that? and Dempsey instead of Mata?

    2 Questions gents:

    1) Is it alright going ahead with a wildcard without any United coverage? Their fixtures are a little sour after GW22 and ahead.

    2) Would you rather have 5 strong starters in midfield,

    eg: Silva. Bale. Dempsey. Sess. Walters. + Sturridge. Aguero. RVP

    [or] 4 strong midfielders and a cheapy to bench?

    eg. Silva. Bale. Dempsey. Mata/Nani. Dyer/Moses + Sturridge. Aguero. RVP.

    So just doing some fiddling with my Wildcard team, am i stupid for thinking about taking RVP out? This is my current WC team:

    P.Jones, Enrique, Santon
    Silva, Nani, VDV, Bale, Valencia
    Bellamy, Sturridge

    (Ruddy, Yakubu, Kelly, Caulker)
    Valencia to become Gerrard when he is getting regular gametime.

    Soo, my knee is wobbling after 2 consecutive scores in the 20s (admittedly Ive DGW players left this time). Hows this for a W/C team?

    Vorm Krul

    Senderos, Raylor, BAE, Enrique, McAuley

    Sess, Moses, Mata, Silva, Dempsey

    Aguero, RVP, Ade

    I've 0.4 to play with. Ideally would do it after Man U play Bolton, as after getting burnt by taking out Ba and Silva in recent weeks, dont want Nani to make it a hat trick. But price changes may speed up that decision. Any comments/criticism appreciated :).

      Though I love Mata as a player, he's super inconsistent which can be very frustrating and force you to fall to the temptation of a Knee-Jerk.

      I was thinking more on the lines of getting Walters in to rotate with sess, and with the extra cash get a city defender, and do Ade>Sturridge for Chelsea coverage.

        Interesting. I was between keeping 1 of Ade and Bale, and Ade swung it for me as I got him at 8, so if he started tearing it up and I had dropped him, I'd need a major reshuffle to get him back. I got Bale at 8.8, so have a bit less reworking to do. I did have a draft with Bale in Mata's place then Sturridge. Wonder if that allows me a city defender. Dont think it does, but I'll have a peek. Wouldnt want to completely lose Spurs attacking players.

          Thats possible with 0.3 left over. Better/worse than first draft?

    Is no-one else thinking of doing Ba > Bellamy?

    I know he didn't start against city but he's looked really explosive recently with good returns.

    also not sure if i trust sturridge or yak to keep scoring...

          ... neither do I really but it's not impossible he could get a couple more goals and/or assists over those three, given current Sunderland form.

          I realise I am clutching a little.. but for me, there aren't many standout candidates.

          Carroll's been poo all season, yet got 90m last 3; having said that, if I can convince myself he'll get decent game time over next 3 I'm definitely in.

    Okay, Draft 5 of WC team (to be picked in GW24):

    Krul, Mignolet
    Kompany, Enrique, Senderos, Simpson, Caulker
    Nani, Silva, Bale, Walters, Sess
    RVP, Aguero, Yak

    Taking Krul out to fund evans a few weeks back wasn't exactly inspired, least Vorm is still ticking away with the points.

    so what factors do we need to consider when deciding at the right moment to play WC?

    1) transfers in January - for instance cahill to chels

    2) making some extra cash during a GW

    what else ? please add as i am probably missing the point completely...

      That midfield isn't worth the sacrifices elsewhere in your team. Downgrade one of them to a mid below 5, upgrade Long and the defence.

      I would have Dempsey instead of Mata.He is a great player but really not worth the returns in terms of FF.Also, Gerrard is still only coming on as a sub for the money you're paying for him
