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.

    Smug people who kept Valencia? All depends who you played instead doesn't it?

    Could have had siggy for last few weeks instead.

      It would have never been valencia out, would have got rid of sess if anyone and he could still go crazy against qpr next week. Sig will come in soon after.

      That's exactly who I played instead. To be fair though I would have gotten rid of Valencia if I thought he'd miss 3 games. I expected him back last week due to Fergie's tendency to exaggerate injuries.
