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.

    Also think Evans is about to become one of my best signings this season. Since the last GW hes got me a goal and an assist plus hes on course for two clean sheets 🙂

    so next week RVP is obvious choice

    more chanses of hitting duvbble figures against QPR defence

    and i belive that hernandez will be back in starting team so Rooney might will play deep again

    Come on Rooney I need you to make up for the previous weeks of:
    1) Sigurdsson on bench and staying there
    2)Captaining Yakubu the week most people's VC's went to Dempsey, Man City Rotation (I had Dempsey VC).
    3) Oh and signing Sagna instead of Vermaelen with my WC gw 28.

    Had a small thought!

    I think it could be unlikely the GW34 fixtures will be moved to midweek due to fixture overload. GW32 is played at the weekend, GW33 during the week and GW34 and FA Cup the following weekend. For those in the cup it would mean playing 5 games within a 2 week period, with so many spare midweek spaces available from now til the end of season it would make more sense to spread the games out?

    Started the season with Rooney, RVP and Simpson and still got them! Got Bale and Vorm GW2, would have started Bale but their game was off when the riots were on so chose NZog lol.
