The Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Man United

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.

                Don't agree, think he plays best just behind another striker.

                It's why he hasn't hit the same heights for England, because we've never had a top class striker for him to play behind.

    In my case, was going to pik up Ince & Olson. decided to wait until 11 am for any last min news on Eriksen, so as to see if to drop Eriksen > Ince and more certanty on Olson playing.

    Half time impressions regarding FPL. If this stays the same the casuals are luck again. They will get 4 games from RVP and we seeing value will get 2 games from Suarez. Not fair this season but that is it.

    For now RVP is delivering and Liv won't have a double. Everton : Arsenal being draw is the worst possible solution

          FA Cup fixture will take precedence for rescheduling the fixture and in this case, it appears likely that they will use the GW31 week for the FA Cup game and reschedule the Premier League fixture instead.

            Whilst this is very possible, it's by no means fact.

            There's no set date for the FA cup replays, we've had situations in recent years where teams play the previous round in the slot for the next round.

            Whatever the situation, I've seen nothing that says that this will happen for sure, and therefore people giving out this info as a fact doesn't help anyone.

        I agree, he's one of my favorite players in the league -- hope things can go his way as he seems to have been caught in the midst of significant upheaval for two massive clubs, in a WC year no less. Not his fault.

      Be great for Torres, class player at the wrong club. Would love to see how many goals Cavani would bang in playing the midfield heavy structure that Chelsea do. Torres mostly does his job well but that job doesn't include scoring goals.
