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.

    Repost.

    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;)

          i've never been sold on walcott, never owned him, too erratic

          but there are worse punts if you're looking for something a bit different

          good luck with it!

      Probably worth it. Young to Valencia is sideways, but Valencia looks like the safest of the 3 wingers. Yaya is just terrible, and Walcott is a great punt/differential till the end of the season. Do it.

        Cheers for the advice mate. Is Walcott expected to rise anytime soon? Safe option is to get Valencia now before the price rise and get Walcott after Arsenal's game I think;)

    b) suarez->odem

    And before gw32
    Dempsey->Siggy

    Plan B (complete knee jerk)
    a) McClean->Siggy
    b) Y.Toure->Valencia

    What do you reckon?

      Cup tie this week is:

      Reina, BAE, RVP vs Ba, RVP (C) +18

      I was just hoping that Rooney didn't score a couple as the goals were flying in for united, as i decided not to bring him in this week.

      Siggy and Valencia are kneejerks, but they have the potential to keep scoring like this, so why not?

          Valencia is a rotation risk, but he is the best value united winger to have as he has as much potential as the others do, and better consistency.

          I think i'll be getting Sigurdsson in soon though, despite the lack of rotation with McClean, he is quality, and at the heart of Swansea's attacks

    Have to say, I've always been quick to be critical of Gary Cahill but today in the match and watching his interview he comes across as a really decent bloke. While I'm not convinced of all the praise he gets I do think he's a good guy.
