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.

        This is a complete knee jerk because both players did well and none of them were in my plans this week. I completely switched my transfer strategy. My pre-gw strategy was to get Gerrard and Odem this week for Suarez and Y.Toure.

          Valencia is Mr Consistency though. Come sback from injury and goes back to performing brilliantly as he was before. And Siggy keeps on scoring. Neither are based on this week alone but good returns over a period of time.

    Glad I kept the faith with Tony V resting up on my bench these few weeks. 3 Q's:

    1 - Is Valencia nailed on for the 3 baps ?
    2 - Is Silva to Theo, Ba to Odem good for GW 30 ?
    3 - Micah to John Terry for GW 31? Chelsea on the march again and he is a good differential for my mini leagues.

    Cheers
