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.

    Well done Valencia owners.

    The fact he wasn't even on the bench after travelling, meant I held off on bringing him in, as was for Silva or Mata, so felt like too much of a gamble.

    Ah well, he'll be in before the end of the week!

    This is ridiculous. Mind you still can't believe rooney has a solitary assist. I'm not arguing with valencia's performance though. Exactly why I hung on to him (yes I'm a smug owner).

      I've actually got Silva to thank for taking that risk. Had he not been about to drop in price I wouldn't have made the swap either.

      More like Valencia 3. A goal and 2 assists from a midfielder should surely warrant the 3 bps so far?

      No chance. Valenica will def get 3. His stats gonna be hell of a lot better than hernandez. Got a key pass for hernandez's first as well.

      Had him in for weeks. When injured kept him on bench in the hope he'd come back soon. Then played him today in the event he wouldnt play Siggurdson would come on. As you can appreciate its kinda worked, but now need Siggy on some other way!
