The FA Cup Quarter-Finals hit our Fantasy plans hard this weekend, with just five of the scheduled ten fixtures still intact. A lunchtime kick-off at The Hawthorns gets the action underway, as West Brom square up to United, with Robin Van Persie looking to maintain the form which has seen him score in four of his last five league outings.

With double Gameweek 31 assets on offer, the support for United’s Fantasy assets has suddenly reached unlikely heights. The likes of van Persie, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra have been amongst the most popular targets this week, despite the faltering form from Moyes’ men. In the next two hours, we’ll see if that investment will reap early dividends against a West Brom side scrapping for survival. While Pepe Mel’s outfit are struggling, they’re unbeaten in their last five Hawthorns encounters, conceding just four goals in the process.

Our Twitter feed offers up all the news from today’s teamsheets, while those wishing to partake in some real-time banter can scratch their itch via our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

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

    The commentator was just saying West Brom haven't beaten Utd at home for 30 years and, as the camera focused on Mel, asked if he could be the man to change that.

    Shouldn't the camera have been on Moyes?

    Given that Kosovo have been granted permission to play friendlies, and given that it is very unlikely that Russia and Serbia will ever recognise Kosovo so they will probably never play a competitive game, could Kosovan players play for both Kosovo and another country?

    I'm thinking mainly of Januzaj with Kosovo and Belgium, but it could also apply to half of the Swiss national squad.
