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.

    Today shows again why RVP is a superior FPL option to Rooney. Utd score 5 yet Rooney only has an assist to show for it. Arsenal wouldn't score 5 without Robin getting in on the goals and assists. Shame I captained Rooney.

      Came off at HT twice in a row for Perch, so the warning signs were there and now Perch starts. Will be even worse when Ryan Taylor is fit again. Browsed the newcastle forums and they've said Perch has actually been playing well, and isn't the disaster that everyone thinks he is anymore. They have no qualms about him starting ahead of Santon
