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.

    So I earmarked this week as one for a huge point swing. 60 points to catch was hoping with the United Wolves game I could half that this week.

    Leader has no United coverage, so with Rooney captain and Young I was feeling very confident of a big point swing. Now I'm only 14 points ahead of him with the rest of the week to go. I have 5 to play, none of which I expect big scores off, he has 9 including his captain RVP...

    Next week he'll no doubt have Valencia in so will no longer have a total united differential, which is why this week so so important. All it needed was a couple from Rooney and Young to get a couple of assists, and I was well back in contention. Now it looks like I'm going to fall behind even further this week.

    Bullsh*t, this game can be so annoying at times... 🙁

      I got Young in last week on WC, with a view to swapping for Lamps sooner rather than later (on the simple basis that I thought Young would be safe this week due to injuries etc). I'd find it hard to swap for Valencia because Fergie might swap it around next week... Lamps it is for me I think

        Cheers. Would love to have Lamps as well but already have Mata. At 7.5 Valencia looks like the bargain of the game atm. Have a fairly strong front 8 so worth the rotation risk I reckon.

      Bolton are going to have a backlog of games now. Got a cup game to play again, already missing a league game in GW34 and now they will have to play the Villa game another time too.

      Not ideal circumstances as they'll probably be in a position where they'll have to play 3 games in 9 days or something like that, I would have thought.
