Sunday gets underway with a noon kick-off at Old Trafford as United prepare to take on Everton. The Toffees registered back-to-back wins over their hosts last season, though with Louis van Gaal at the helm, the Red Devils are slowly starting to find their feet and go in search of a third successive home win this afternoon.

With Wayne Rooney suspended, Van Gaal – as expected – hands Juan Mata the role in “the hole”, while Antonio Valencia replaces the injured Ander Herrera in one of only two changes by the Dutchman. Up top, Robin van Persie goes in search of a third successive strike and strike partner Radamel Falcao is still looking for his first goal since arriving on loan from Monaco.

The likes of Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin and James McCarthy all miss out for Everton, though Steven Pienaar returns to the XI, as Roberto Martinez rolls out a 4-2-3-1, with the South African joining Steven Naismith and Aiden McGeady in the attacking midfield three behind Romelu Lukaku.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I feel soooo dirty. I'm a Liverpool fan that just clapped my hands in delight at DDG saving a pen.

    First time listening to BT commentary, it's not the worst. Better than itv for sure IMO

    1. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yeah BTs not bad with commentary

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Phil Neville is the worst of all commentators imo.

    3. Chinese_person
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Michael Owen is shockingly bad.

  9. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years

    My UFPL team is looking good.

    DDG, Kolarov, Robertson, ADM, Siggy, Aguero all delivered. Costa(c), Ade, Chadli, Cesc and Vertonghen to come

    😀

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Try DDG, Robertson, Fletcher, Siggy (c), Jelly 😎

      1. Billy Gilmore

        Dayum son!

  10. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    Ohh god had a cheeky tenner on Everton to score a penalty sad 🙁 ohh and I have him in my team as well ,,fack

  11. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    DDG 😀

  12. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    de gea 11% ownership, Baines 15% ownership in top 10K

  13. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Don't be so happy that Baines missed.

    DDG at 13.4% ownership.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      15% of Baines > 13% of DDG

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        15% of -2 is a lot less than 13% of +5

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Although the 15% of +6 is bigger I'll grant you that. Was more looking at save compared to miss.

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I think people with Baines are probably better FPL players than pepole with De Gea.

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      More points for Baines if he slots it. Great result for the fantasy as well as me team.

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      they are the bottom 13.4% so it is irrelevant 😉

  14. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    In five years I have never had a keeper save a penalty 😐

      • 15 Years

  15. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    The issue with that penalty was he didn't make up his mind until Leighton.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Oh dear... 😉

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I cringed as I posted it 😀

  16. Ray Allen Iverson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Marks gona hate bringing in Baines a week early now..

  17. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I remember seeing somebody had benched Baines this week.

  18. Flycroft
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    That penalty miss is such a massive swing for my rank this week. Could just tell he was going to miss as well, had a poor game

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      You're watching last years game

  21. A guy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Permission to kill myself right now...De Gea out for a -4 hit, Baines misses the penalty.

  22. WipWapJaws
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Holding ADM and Baines, that penalty was the ideal return for the game. Oh well next time

  23. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Prob lost 10 points on that Peno

    -2
    +6

    Prob roughly 2 bps

  24. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    That penalty feels like a season changer. For United and for me.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Was crucial with the tough upcoming fixtures. Its only half time though, hopefully United can finish the job.

  25. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I hear ADM managed a second shot on target in this game.

  26. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Oh, just seen baines missed a pen, oh well, as an adm owner and a utd supporter....could be worse!

  27. galway77
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

  28. Quaresma Team
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I asked here whether Schmeichel will outscore DDG this Gameweek and of course EVERYONE answered that certainly he will. I brought Kasper in...

  29. Berbalove
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Is there a greater FPL pleasure than having your goalie save a penalty?

  30. GunsnRoses
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Last time my goalkeeper saves a penalty is in 11-12 season. It was Vorm.
