Saturday’s afternoon action is focused mainly on the foot of the table as the likes of Fulham, Hull, West Brom and Aston Villa all face crunchy fixtures. The quartet of three o’clock kick-offs will do their best to hold our attention, before our focus switches to Old Trafford as a desperate Norwich arrive to take on Ryan Giggs’ United.

It has to be said, Fantasy talent is at premium and perhaps limited to Christian Eriksen’s display at Stoke and Wilfried Bony’s quest for further goals at home to Villa. In the main, we’ll save our energies for the tea-time clash as we get to assess the impact of David Moyes’ departure and the “Giggs’ effect” on the Red Devils. With a double fixture looming in Gameweek 37, the Old Trafford teamsheet will be of keen interest, as will the performance from United’s key attacking assets.

Full details of the day’s starting lineups can be found via our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains opens for those looking to indulge in some real-time banter.

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

    Utterly pathetic the comments I'm reading. Giggs is trying to get results, not pleasing peoples favourtie players or the fantasy crowd. Honestly.

    Lets see what happens. If the game isn't going well, it's the mark of a good manager to change things. Game isn't played on a team sheet.

      seems mata and rooney cannot fit in the same team. both number 10s, as much as rooney says he is a striker, he always drops deep due to lack of pace.

      would hope the new manager drops rooney rather than mata

      Exactly this. Who knows what's happened in the last week anyway. Maybe these are the only players left in the united camp who have a high moral.

      Not saying that's likely, but come on, no one here has spoken to any united player. Back off and let the man who has been out in charge do what he feels best.

    These 4 games don't matter to Mata. Whoever comes in will play him, he's too good to be benched and being a Moyes signing won't be a consideration then. This Giggs 4 games in charge is a strange situation, a player whose been there for his whole career etc, doesn't mean anything to the new man whoever that is. Just unfortunate that it is messing with a game (FPL) this week.
