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.

    Instead of bringing in Siggy to fund Rooney, I've been thinking about Surman.

    I mean, he seems to be a nailed on attacking option for Norwich, and surely they can kill off a terribly wounded Wolves?

    Krul covers Vorm's points on my bench, phew. Simpson also benched, it would be have ballsy to drop one of BAE or Skrtel for Simpson. Perhaps I should have considered benching McClean. Another GW and another CS on bench, story of my season. Rooney captain was disappointing too, could be losing more ground again.

    Valencia is already in, 1more FT left. Not sure who I want out most from Taiwo, Silva or Ba. This game doing my head in this year.
