It’s Monday night and champions Manchester United frequent our screens once more – this week away at struggling Blackburn Rovers. The Dugout Discussion opens to see Gameweek 31 wrap up, and the team news is in…

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Grant Hanley, Martin Olsson, Orr, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Marcus Olsson, Hoilett, Yakubu.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Jones, Valencia, Hernandez, Rooney.

Steve Kean makes one change from the side that lost to Bolton, with Bradley Orr coming in for Mauro Formica.

Three changes for the visitors see Ryan Giggs, Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck all miss out to Phil Jones, Paul Scholes and Javier Hernandez.

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

      Don't blame FPL, it's the Press Association. I'm not 100% he didn't touch it, but that's besides the point. We shouldn't really have to look to see if a lace has brushed a ball, it should be a Ba assist by any version of the word 'assist'.

        Gran I believe it's the final pass or key contribution.

        What contribution did Alfa make to it?

        Ok! Fair enough if they don't give to Ba but... How area can get its beyond me.

        Is there a dubious assist committe like thy have for goal?

        I would also like to the know their rationale for changing their bleeding minds twice !!!!

        It's the inconsistency thats the killer granny. In the reverse fixture, Ba was denied an assist because they weren't a hundred percent sure Ba got the touch. now today there is not 1 tv angle that shows Ben Arfa contact and many clearly show that it was the Liverpool defender that touched it.

        It a 6 point swing for some people.

    Al-Habsi | Bogdan
    Kelly | Cahill | JEvans | Santon | JEnrique
    Mata | Silva | Sessegnon | Pilkington | Sigurdsson
    RVP | Rooney | Yakubu

    bank: 0.6

    wanted to do Silva+Yakubu for Dempsey+P.Cisse. But now I can't because of Cisse's price rise and Silva's price down and now I am lacking of 0.2 mln to make this double transfer.

    So I figured it out like this:
    - now I make: Silva+Pilkington --> Dempsey+Miyaichi
    - before next GW: Yakubu --> P.Cisse

    what do U think about it ? I thought Miyaichi as a good idea, because of his double GWs 35 and 36..

    Just discovered the Ba assist nonsense. I'm a Ba owner. Watched the match and felt it would be given to Ba. Watched MoTD and thought it would be. Logged on tonight to see it wasn't and that it was given then taken away earlier today! How on earth does HBA get the assist?
