The final match of an explosive Gameweek 8 takes place at the Hawthorns this evening. West Brom are looking for their third win in four as Man United roll up to the Midlands, with Alan Irvine’s side having beaten Spurs and Burnley before narrowly tasting defeat at Anfield last time around.

Youngster Saido Berahino carries the main threat for the Baggies, having scored five of their eight league goals this season. In midfield, the likes of Graham Dorrans and Chris Brunt will be looking to stake a claim as viable budget options ahead of a run which pits the hosts against Palace, Leicester and Newcastle in the next three.

Andre Wisdom owners will be glad to hear the right-back returns to the XI this evening – unavailable to face parent club Liverpool last time around, he replaces Cristian Zamboa. Elsewhere at the back, though, Ben Foster misses out with a calf complaint.

Louis van Gaal’s side are searching for their first away win of the season this evening. United may have triumphed in each of their last three at Old Trafford but on the road, it’s been a different matter altogether – draws against Sunderland and Burnley preceded a 5-3 hammering at Leicester.

Now up to 42% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League game, Angel Di Maria carries the hopes of many after serving up a goal and assist in three of the last four. Robin van Persie retains his place but Radamel Falcao drops to the bench for the visitors as Adnan Januzaj comes in, whilst Juan Mata continues in “the hole” due to the absence of suspended skipper Wayne Rooney.

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

    Glad I remembered to do my UFPL subs with 5 minutes to spare tonight - brought Wisdom and Berahino on 😀

        Sweet feeling ain't it? Having a shocker in FPL this season but nudging top 50 in UFPL, makes my problems in the main game much more bearable!

      Well played.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Was a seriously late move, been out all day and only just got online in time - stroke of luck really 🙂

      Party time.

      I have Costa © and i don't think it's gonna change to my vice!

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't manage a manual change?

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          You can't change it to a player thats already played (Aguero was my VC) so I had to leave it in the hope it'd auto switch.

          Couldn't see anything specific in the rules.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

    2. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      also the most expensive squad in the league by a long,long way

  6. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    WBA for relegation, most of us said.

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I certainly did. I thought they'd fighting with Southampton for rock bottom.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        +1

      2. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I didn't ever see Saints struggling, but I had WBA, Leicester and Burnley down for the drop.

      Credit to Alan Irvine.

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Huge amount of credit, he's worked wonders.

  7. Declan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Falcao imminent

  8. Keno
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

  9. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rafael.

  11. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Berahino looking like the real deal

  12. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    He's an excellent finisher, very impressive in front of goal for a young player.

  13. parkerdip
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Might have to bring Berahino in

  14. RabMac
    • 12 Years

    Was going to say what a good game Rafael was having

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      as an attacker

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I don't rate him as a defender. A new right back will be coming I reckon.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Dani Alves?

  18. Olivier Bernards watch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Repost. Lost amidst collective hysteria.

    Anyone got any info/thoughts about whether

    (a) Foster will be back next week

    (b) Rio will get back into the QPR team any time soon?

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A - don't know

      B - doesn't matter. No sensible person should have him.

  19. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I love getting a player in Sky an hour before the Monday game, and then he scores.

  20. Debauchy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Cmon get Falcao on

  21. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
