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

    ADM is too good, unintentional assist every time

      Unintentional?

        That must have been a shot, didn't look up at all.

    More Di maria lucky points. This year's yaya toure

      Hes becoming hard to ignore

    2. Billy Gilmore

      So true

    3. 7shadesofsmoke

      11 years, 5 months ago

      It's not luck, its called taking chances.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        A shot assist is not taking chances

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          it is taking a chance.

          He is taking a chance (gambling) by shooting (not taking a chance in the clinical sense of finishing).

          If a player consistently drills shots into the box (lampard?) he'll get breaks.

      2. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Bet you didn't think that about yaya last year

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yaya was a monster, I never went in for him until the end of the season because he was taking chances the other way. Incredibly clinical.

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    This game killed my ranking 🙁 I forgot to play the defending game. When you are up just buy high owned players like ADM. He should have be my Rambo replacement 🙁

  8. Lingardium Leviosa.

    first poor cross from ADM 😎

    1. Fifa las vegas

      And all those corners

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

    Well, that's it confirmed.

    ADM is the new Yaya.

      He's earning his luck but he is having some, that's for sure.

      1. Djerbil
        • 14 Years

        aren't u at the beach??

      2. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        people get a bit lucky with miss-hit goals, and an assist is always somewhat fortunate because you're relying on the player receiving the ball to actually take the chance.

        This is why i put forward the argument the other week, that ADM will be more 'lucky' simply because the quality of the finishers in the team combined with the amount of chances he is willing to take (shooting at goal from distance, hitting free kicks, corners crosses into the box).

        Its luck, to a degree, but it is also expected.

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Naylor to Baines or
    Lamela to ADM?

    I can have only one

    1. Seb Wassell

  11. PogChamp
    • 14 Years

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

      I did it 2 weeks ago for the same reason. Can rest easy every united game now. Worth it. Think I'll live longer because of it lol

  12. Here's the manager
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Feeling less nauseous about my ' naismith or cattermole' quandary yesterday.

  13. Barnabus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A Diego Costa fail now would be lovely.

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years

      +1

  14. Overlordleo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Got precisely enough to do Sterling to Di Maria, should I go for it? Might to to hard to get Maria later on...

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

      I think I might.

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

        Dont want to drop Sterling, especially with Sturridge back soon, but Di Maria is just so good.

  15. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    hmm Was thinking of Naismith > Welbeck but he's got back to scoring plus everton has good fixtures in the next 5.

    Arsenal has good fixtures in the next 4.

    Keep Naismith?

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

    hope Falcao doesn't start scoring. Can't afford him Aguero and Costa

  17. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Big red arrow incoming with Falcao's goal.

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Both my rivals own ADM and one of them has him captain 🙁 Non owner here 🙁

  19. seanie3

    I know players are deducted points for a penalty miss in UFPL, but are they also deducted in FPL

    1. Prime
      • 12 Years

  20. LewanGOALski

    Silva > ADM instead of Caulker > Baines ? 😐

  21. NiceHorse
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero > my homeboy Falcao

    Ulloa > Pelle

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

      Why is everyone jumping ship on Aguero?

  22. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    And everyone thought Di Maria wouldn't hit the ground running in the Premier League...what a player.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      top 5 player in the world atm, why people dont trust him?

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