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'm in the lead thanks to Tony, but he has Bale, Balotelli and McClean to play and I have Silva and Enrique so it's still interesting. If you lose it's really going to open the group up.

            Yeah, with 2/3 wins and 2 away games out the way I was feeling pretty safe but I'm 99% certain to lose this one so it's all getting very tight. Especially if you lose to the addict, we're all be on 6.

              Bogdan then if you want cash, play Vorm each week. I am considering that but Krul got me a CS today so more pressing maters for me.
