As Man United approach an eye-catching run of games which could potentially see Sir Alex Ferguson’s side rack up the Fantasy returns, Wayne Rooney has staked a strong claim for consideration after bagging a brace for the second Gameweek in succession. Rooney’s stock has suffered a significant drop this season due to the arrival of Robin Van Persie but as the campaign unfolds, he’s starting to look a real differential, with many Fantasy managers even considering both forwards for a run of games which sees the Red Devils welcome Sunderland, Newcastle and West Brom to Old Trafford, in addition to trips to Swansea and Wigan in the next five:

1. RVP+Ba
2. Rooney+Suarez
for the coming 5 weeks?Open Controls
2 FOR SURE
Open Controls
Got 2 Ft this week.
Considering RVP to Rooney and Gorkss to Glen Johnson.
I'm liking them moves for free very much.Open Controls
If you already have RvP, stick with him for now. Assess in Jan WC.
Open Controls
Ok. Here's my theory;
On the bench Reading had Pearce, and not Gorkss. And when Morrison got injured Pearce came on. Pearce also played in that position the first four matches of the season. So if Morrison is injured tonight the logic would be to start Pearce, and promote Gorkss to the bench. Am I right? So if I am I just need to hope he stays there, and not comes on. And if none of the central defenders gets injured tonight, why would he sub one of them?Open Controls
Any Villa fans on here? What's the story with Baker?
Open Controls
Superb. Very useful 🙂

Team for next week, what would you do? No transfers made, 3.1m in the bank.
Have a feeling both Enrique and Bale will play and pretty sure I'm comfortable with benching Mata. Any obvious areas to invest the spare dollar?
Begovic (Cerny)
Enrique - Garrido - Cameron (Shorey, Demel)
Michu - Fellaini - Bale - Sterling (Mata)
RVP (c) - Berbasloth - Suarez (vc)Open Controls
Interesting stuff.....so what are RVP owners doing?
Open Controls
"Wayne Rooney @WayneRooney
Not feeling good at all. Had to cancel the book signing today. Sorry to all the fans who were coming. I was really looking forward to it. "
I think that's enough to say illness and give him a flag.Open Controls
Are people really getting both in? Seems like a massive gamble really.
Open Controls
The problem i have found is that by spending 13M plus i have felt obliged to give him the armband every week to my own detriment.
With the Xmas program coming, i am sure that RVP will rest at least one game. SAF believes that Rooney plays better with lots of games.
Great article.Open Controls
To your own detriment? He's scored in the last 3 games
Open Controls
If I'd gone RVP(c) the last 2 weeks I would've been 10pts better off.
Open Controls
Why would you want to get rrid of Tevez?
Open Controls
Mancini....
Well ofc i won't do it this week, i want to see whether the 6 point deficit finally made him come to his sense.Open ControlsI know he's come off the bench a few times mate but he`s featured in al bar one of Man City's league games this season. He's such a good player to have surely it`ll be worth hanging on to him?
Open Controls
Not convinced with that move.

No offence to people doubling up on Rooney and RVP but if Rooney had only scored one goal this weekend would you have done it? It's classic knee-jerking and one 2 pointer will have you selling one of them in a rage. Yeah it would have worked the last two weeks. But owning Rooney alone would have been better. Why not just have the guts to go for Rooney as a differential and save some money...not dilly dally about it and be constantly in limbo.
One Welbeck/Hernandez brace in a 2-0 win will have you wanting to bury your head in the sand. Just sayin'Open ControlsRVP and Rooney are the two best forwards in the game. I don't think it's because people are unsure on which one, it's because they want to maximise their points. It takes balls to double up, which indicates decisiveness. Rooney was coming into my team before his big hauls.
Open ControlsI think people are seeing him come into some form. Don't underestimate so many on here- especially on here.
Open Controls
Finishing points with "just sayin'" is the calling card of a complete buffoon.
Open Controls
Even without Fletcher, I am hopeful that Sunderland will win 3-0 with two goals from Adam Johnson (my captain) 😉
Open Controls
Surprised the case wasn't made to have both of them, given United's fixtures.
Open Controls
If there's one thing I've learnt over the years, it's that when Rooney hits form, you want him in your team.
Looks like he's hit form to me.Open Controls
Just as I dumped him out of my team, the bastard.
Open ControlsI still can't work out if that first goal was luck and Harts shitness or genius use of Clichy to unsight him.
Open Controls
Was a mishit I think. Luck.

in the worse of ferguson after the game, "wayne will go on a run now"
p.s LOOOOOOOOOL AT AGUERO OWNERSOpen Controls*words

That is EXACTLY it!!! AND, he has the fixtures.

No membership. I presume this says Rooney is better to own? Just what we need at the moment.
Open ControlsI wouldn't say he is.
Open Controlsspend the 12.50 and you will see....it is totally worth it

You'll never know. *laughs maniacally*

I had Rooney and RVP for GW13-14, for what it's worth. Raging.
Open Controls
Rafael coming off my bench would be a great birthday present. Rest that ankle, Fletcher.
Open ControlsAnyone know if Gunter was dropped or just injured? In other words, is he likely to come back into the team any time soon?
ThanksOpen Controlsa funny trend i've noticed is how mariappa and cummings have started the exact same games and therefore missed the exact same games. so gunter has never played with mariappa, i'm wonering if it's an intentional partnership by the manager. if so gorkks being out of favour would not be a good thing for gunter and it cements mariappa's spot more
Open Controlstried to think of a funny defence with cummings in but couldn't. fair enough, 15 love jamsiep
Open Controls
Tonight will show record levels of interest in the Sunderland bench.
If as expected Fletcher doesn't start tons of managers will be praying for a late cameo off the bench. I do think given he has been training and reading really is must win (look at their fixtures after that - they're toast) MON is going to find it very difficult not to even put him in the squad.Open ControlsSo, just looking at ideas for owning RVP/Rooney, how does:
Sess & Berbs out for Morrison & Rooney
Leaves me:
Foster / Bego
Enrique Cuellar Clyne Demel Shorey
Silva Michu Fell Sterling Morrison
RVP Rooney SuarezOpen Controls
