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.

    For a 4 point hit

    a)

    Drenthe > Valencia
    Skrtel > Kaboul

    I still have Enrique for Liverpool cover

    or

    b)

    Drenthe > Valencia
    Mata > Walcott

    Took a few hits along the way in building up strong team and all my mates laughed. However really got some good momentum built up now for the run in and they are now bit more quiet! Up to 4th in mini league. Squeaky bum time for Kun owners 🙂

    Can't believe I'm saying this with my score compared to others (51 with 4 to play + BP) but I'm actually disappointed with this GW!

    I know loads of people have done worse but I've got 21 + BP on my bench and Rooney (c) only got an assist in a 5-0 win.

    Wednesday night's gonna be horrible though, my rivals have got basically a whole team left to play.

      That's is also one move I am contemplating. It would give me enough cash to dump Ba for Suarez as well, although for a four point hit. I think Valencia is a safer bet than Nani or Young. SAF seems to love him and I can see the other two battling it out for a starting berth. Very tempted.

      I think I'm sticking with Nani. I think he has the most upside of the three by far. Valencia will play the most, but he still could get rotated. Nani's goal threat is ridiculous, Valencia will rely on assists and there will be days when nobody gets on his crosses or the ball gets knocked around and someone else gets the points.

      Think I'd go for b), get Kaboul in for Skrtel after Liv-Wig.

    Guys who do i shift from this midfield to get Valenica and Walcott in for a 4 point hit:
    Nani Bale Dempsey Siggi Mclean
    I have enough money to take out any combination

      The +14 mainly because Lpool should get CS

            Cheers mate. I sold him before his 13 points against Arsenal so I was determined not to make the same mistake again.

              I sold him GW28 as part of 8pt hit. I needed that extra cash for the next two weeks plans.

    Does Silva/Ba -> Valencia/Aguero look a good transfer to do this week?
