Sunday Dugout Discussion

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.

      Nice touch from him dedicating the goal to Muamba. "Pray 4 Muamba" on his t-shirt for anyone who never saw it.

    I can see Rooney playing a part in all goals but not doing as good as you'd expect FPL wise.

    This is really the game he should be getting a hatful though 🙁

    The transfers I was looking to do this week were Raylor -> Evans and Nani -> Valencia. Looking like a no-brainer now, providing neither picks up an injury in the second half.

        I just wanted to smugly congratulate both of us for fighting the fight against the Young hype machine.

        You were one of the few to acknowledge he had a good chance of being first choice, when the Nani/Young debate was in full swing.

        Cheers to you -- and anyone else on the V train. 😀
