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.

    Team linked

    I am doing Drenthe > Valencia (Doesn't get much better than that)

    I need to downgrade Skrtel or Enrique to do so.

    Skrtel > £5.6m (Kaboul, Cahill, Gibbs)

    or

    Enrique > £5.1m (Distin, King, Williams, Bardsley, Turner)

    Any thoughts appreciated

    Hey all, any advice would be much appreciated. For a -4 hit:

    Ba -> Suarez
    Demps -> Valencia
    Pilks -> Siggy

    Good shout? Would give me a midfield of Valencia, Bale, Silva, Siggy, McClean.

  16. Declan-
    14 years, 7 months ago

    Is Dempsey and Yaya ➡ Walcott and Valencia a good idea for a hit. I'm definitely doing Yaya to Valencia but I'm worried about getting rid of Dempsey. I'd be selling after NOR anyway but Walcott could easily justify a hit against AVILLA and qpr
    Any thoughts?

    1. King James
      14 years, 7 months ago

      Really depends on how your midfield rotates.
      I feel there's no point playing Dempsey away from home, whereas Walcott can play both home and away.
      I personally have Demspey and rotating him with Mata is the ultimate luxury.

      So if the other 4 are good, I'd say stay with Dempsey. But if you want 4 who you want to play for every gameweek now, I'd say Walcott.

      Cheers
