The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday Premier League fixtures – beginning with United’s visit to Wolves, as Wayne Rooney sports the armband for thousands of Fantasy managers. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the reaction from the Molineux clash, plus the encounter between Newcastle and Norwich later today.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s teamsheet brings mixed news for Fantasy managers. Wayne Rooney starts as expected, but Ashley Young drops to the bench with Antonio Valencia making his return from injury to earn a role on the flank. Danny Welbeck also starts and is likely to be out wide, with Javier Hernandez given the nod up front. Rafael lines up at right-back with Phil Jones missing out once again.

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

      It's a mystery. Think Valencia is the best player so should start when fit.

        Yeah. Valencia has been most consistent and best winger this season. Reckon it will be Nani and Young rotated on left. Valencia could miss the odd game. Probably been our best player this season along with Rooney

      looks like Valencia will be the first choice to me at the moment (if all of them fit) even if maybe not the most 'flashy', Fergie seems to trust him most (a la J Evans)

      Valencia's been the best of the three this season so should be the 'most' nailed on. Though Nani also usually starts when fit.
