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.

        Would I lie to you after all we've been through. I mean I've lost potentially vorm 7/soggy 13(16)/Valencia 16(+) that's 36, what a score I'd a had woulda put me right back in my mini-league. I know it was hard to see Swansea coming , but this Valencia thing as well and after I keeping him through injury . The hardest week Toulouse.

      Downing has gone all season without a PL goal or assist, his only contributions have come against lower league sides in the cups.
      So by that logic we're definitely due a 'Downing cross, Carroll goal'

      But i'm not sure it'll happen 😛
