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.

      He's due about 47 goals, to cut his pricetag down to a mere million per goal.
      But he's not the same player he once was - a 24 hour barren spell?? 😉

    Ok, I am struggling here. I have 2 FT. Looking to drop Silva and Zamora and bring in Rooney. That leaves me with 6.4m for a midfielder. My team is:

    VORM RUDDY
    Evans, Kompany, Williamson, Skrtel, BAE
    Silva, Bale, Sessengon, Sigurdsson, Valencia
    Zamora, RVP, Pog

    So any suggestions for 6.4? Or another way to increase my amount?!
