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.

    i suddenly need carragher to start midweek in order to field 11.

    Starting today means its less likely doesnt it? 🙁

      Probably, yes unfortunately.

      You never know though, Coates wasn't great when he played, though with two games in a week it makes it more likely that Carra will get a rest.

      I was hoping you'd beat ILF this week too, otherwise he'll run away with the group 😛

    Sturridge won't stay at the top level for long if he keeps playing like an 8 year old in the playground who brought the ball to play with.

    Hi guys!

    My team: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1463087/history/

    I am frustrated that Young didn't play and am considering bringing Valencia in for him. Good move in your opinion?
    Furthermore, I would like to get Yaya out and get Walcott in for lon-term. Is it worth doing both this GW for a 4 point hit?

    Thanks in advance for your advice;)
