Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 10

Despite the playful twitter tamperings of Gary Lineker, Robin Van Persie takes his place in an unchanged and attacking United lineup for today’s early kick-off against Arsenal. The Dutchman starts, then, and wears the Fantasy armband for many as he faces his former club for the first time.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open and available to collect all the joy and agony of this match and the day’s other six encounters, concluding with City’s visit to West Ham this evening.

The lineups from Old Trafford are predictable. Both sides remain unchanged with Sir Alex Ferguson keeping faith with Ashley Young on the flank, opting to keep Javier Hernandez in reserve, with Danny Welbeck out of the squad. As for Arsenal, they keep Theo Walcott on the leash as they put out the starting XI that struggled to break down QPR last weekend.

Man United: De Gea, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Young, Rooney, van Persie

Arsenal: Mannone, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Santos, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    After going hit crazy all season this week I decided to be restrained... and not bring RVP in for a hit... this could get very messy.

        Walcott has been a bit of a pain as fair as contract stuff is going. I think Wenger is making a point.

            I agree that he's should play him but that's how it goes, from what I've heard Walcott has been very unreasonable too.

        Eventually (maybe by the end of this week), every single FPL player (who still logs in and isn't a casual) will have RVP in their team.

        I will, the second Wednesdays C.L match finishes for them............:)
