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

    Well, at least nobody will buy Baines before his 15 points against Villa now 😀

  2. BigManBakar

    Baines pen miss, what a sickener 🙁

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    If I have rivals owning Baines and David de Gea, is that the best result for me (apart from a total miss)?

    😀

    Can someone tell me how to quit a league please? Or just delete my account?

    1. _nod
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If you go to the Leagues page there should be a little Red Cross to quit, unless you created the league.

      1. dhawk97
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I did 🙁 haha!

  5. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Possible 11 point swing there.

    F**king typical. 😆

  6. parkerdip
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    typical having Baines the first time he misses a penalty.

    Atleast I got some consolation with Di Maria

  7. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    lol

  8. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    That was a clear De Gea vs Baines ownership contest, glad I was on De Gea's side.

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You won't be that glad after the next few gameweeks 😉

  10. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Still bringing Baines in this week. Hopefully this will keep his ownership down a bit

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Defo do that his fixtures ease up as well plus he wont miss it every week 🙁

    @ Superdunny, regarding last night DZ chat.
    Still planning on selling Di Maria?

  12. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Baines pen record for #efc now 19 from 21. Other miss Chelsea in League Cup in Oct 2011.

  13. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Rival in my ML can do no wrong. Everything he touches turns to gold. Really sick of it.

  14. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    First time in 4 seasons that I brought Baines in, and that happens. Damn you Leighton!!

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

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

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same. Wasn't that 12/13 though?

      1. Green Arrow
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Mignolet in the first gameweek last year.

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

          Oh yeah. You are right. But everyone just scored that day, well almost all

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

        When did Swansea first come in? I think it was 11-12 for me.

  16. Wej
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Luke Shaw gets ball first so technically not a penalty?

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

      Didn't look a pen to me

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Exactly. Not sure why Scolesy is sideing with the bitter abu ref

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

      Never a penalty. Still getting shafted. Justice served though.

    4. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Clearly a pen. He touches the ball but also takes the man out. Would be given in any Prem game.

  17. amol
    • 11 Years

    Tadic>Di Maria for a hit

  18. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Damn not doing amazing this week but got so lucky with last minute Aguero goal and De Gea save. Bad luck that my Di Maria last min captaincy change didn't register but Aguero is ok?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero played the whole game, looked lively the whole time

    2. Kip
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      it will be ok if Costa doesn't score

  19. sambyy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I knew he was going to miss when I saw the camera angle. Penalties are always missed when they show it from that angle.

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, that distracted him. 🙂

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      but they always show them from that angle now...

      Go to leagues in your FPL profile - you should be able to leave a league via that. Really no need to delete your account.

    Sell DDG and get Baines. What are the chances?

    Granville, can you find a miffed to beat that kind of luck?

    1. Captain Shirokov

      I was about to post again about your double Leicester defense and that change, beat me to it. You're having a half good half bad WC...

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

        One of those things. Baines will still do me okay in the weeks to come I reckon - just funny that my WC would bite me in such an unexpected way.

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

      Maybe not but he's already been on having a lol about it 😛

    10. Flycroft
