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.

    It's not going to happen is it? I need 2 bonus for Valencia to draw my minleague cup semi final. He's not going to get it. Can't they give him a couple of Taiwos bonus instead?

    How Rooney has scored 28 goals this season is beyond me.
    He's been poor in so may games.

        I didn't watch the game today - I'm judging that on others reactions but he's still been poor in a lot of games this season with his passing wayward and timing his runs poorly.

    Players aren't more likely to get bonus points just because they're in your team!

    United defenders, Rooney and perhaps even Young to get bonus points over Valencia IMO.
