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 holeâ€, 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

      Me. But I'd need him to drop by 1.1 in order to be able to afford him. 😆

      Hardly possible IMHO

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 12 Years

        this, sadly

    6. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years

      0.3 drop would be FANTASTIC

      Only idiots will sell now right vefore the great run of fixtures start.

    all the WC teams I seen with no Utd players will be rethinking that already.

      Only ADM is worthy

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

        agree, Got him in straight away. as always going to be an ideal fit in this league and for FPL

    2. @ocprodigy

      Everyone was daft thinking United won't score. They may be playing bad as a defensive unit but there's plenty of goals in that team.

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

        Well yes, but I still think the goals will be spread. I might need to get Di Maria eventually, but no near essential. Only United player is de Gea atm 😉

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

    Just written to FPL stating it wasn't a penalty in the first place so technically not a miss for Baines.

    They've replied saying they're reviewing it 😎

    Very very poor pen from Baines ðŸ™

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

    Liverpool to get a cleanie next week? Surely?
    Considering wasting a transfer to get rid of Mignolet for just about anyone

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

      They'll concede.

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

        Even I don't rate our defence, but we have been very unlucky not to get 2 CSs in the last 2

  7. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, now I am hoping for Naismith goal 😀

  8. Bull
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    First real mistake of the season, I took out Di Maria for a hit for Tadic, but it allowed me to do Rooney to Aguero.

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

      You are a Bull

  9. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    The only time I had a penalty save (that I can remember) was Ruddy against QPR a few years back.

    I'm on the east coast so when I woke up and say Norwich had a CS, I got angry since many had their defenders at the time. I checked my team, only to see myself 11 points richer 😉

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

      Mignolet GW1 last year. Loads of us had him and were sickened when Liverpool as would prove inevitable in the future lost their cleanie. Plenty of LOL@ Mignolet owners going about as he was talked up pretty big pre season. Dying minutes of the game Stoke peno and saved.

    need falcao to score!!!!

  11. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Serious question: Will Baines possibly drop over the international break, now?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No IMO.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

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

      Unlikely

  12. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…

    So, who do we think is on pens for Everton now? Any chance it's howard?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Gibson

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

        Hibbert would have been nice too.

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Is it joke? If it is, then it's stupid

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

        Come on then, mate. If you want some.

    ADM and DDG saving my GW 😎

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

    Di Maria owners, keeping?
    I'm considering keeping him for Chelsea and City more and more. Can't easily buy ADM back

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      His high ownership and high price will kill us if we sell.

      I'm keeping. Plus, he keeps getting the points.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    Pissed off I switched the armband from Di Maria Saturday morning. I told myself that Di Maria was more likely to blank.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Did the same. But to Costa.

      Here's hoping that DC outscores ADM.

    Looking to oust Ramsey for a striker in my draft game. Baring in mind that I have Walcott, who would you offer Ramsey for from the following...

    A) Welbeck
    B) Dzeko
    C) Lukaku

    These are the options available to me.

    Thanks for guidance...
