Premier League champions Manchester United close out Gameweek 30 at home to Fulham. With a seemingly routine opportunity to open a three-point gap over city rivals, the Dugout Discussion opens to witness the potential fantasy points feast.

The team news for the clash at Old Trafford is in. Here is how the two sides line-up…

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Rafael, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Young, Welbeck.

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Kelly, JA Riise, Hangeland, Hughes, Diarra, Dempsey, Pogrebnyak, Duff, Frei, Dembele.

Sir Alex makes two changes from the eleven that battered Wolves last week, with Ryan Giggs and Ashley Young replacing Paul Scholes and Javier Hernandez respectively.

Three changes for the visitors with Aaron Hughes, Kerim Frei and Damian Duff coming in for Philippe Senderos, Andrew Johnson and Bryan Ruiz.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

        I think you could transpose it and say Evans 3, Rooney 2 and no one would argue with you.

        I just think scoring the only goal of the game may have put his PPI up enough to get the maximum, but who knows?

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years

          Yeah but it's also his shots off target which are massively significant. And the PPI system doesn't care if it's the only goal in the game or the 3rd in a rout. Evans had 98% passing accuracy compared to Rooney's mid 70's. Also a cleansheet may be worth as much as a goal for a forward. Plus Evans's assist and 5 Aerial duels won(most on the pitch). Fairly confident of him getting the 3 here.
