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

  12. UnderstandablyDistraught
    12 years, 9 days ago

    RVPish

  13. Seb Wassell
    12 years, 9 days ago

    RVP just selfishly ruined a great tap in chance for Mata there by trying to go alone.

  14. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 9 days ago

    here we go. ADM free kick goal

    1. RabMac
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Unfortunately that nab Mata took it and skied over the bar.

  15. DRY PEANUT
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Di Maria (best United player) 4bps

    Blind 15bps

    Sigh

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 9 days ago

      That's the problem with automated stats.

  16. Woy of the Wovers
    12 years, 9 days ago

    12 years, 9 days ago

  18. Jay_
    12 years, 9 days ago

    WBA working very hard defensively, can they keep up the pace last 20 when Falcao comes on ?

  19. THE Wild Rover
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Wisdom will end up on 4pts max 😉

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I would take that any day from a 4.0 5th def

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      12 years, 9 days ago

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      12 years, 9 days ago

  21. RabMac
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Would have been 1-1 if RVP had passed there.

  22. Gunner77-

    12 years, 9 days ago

    Strange as it may sound Fellaini could do a job in his old Everton role

    knock down those ADM crosses

    1. chrisjdgrady
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Ya I think he deserves some game time to see if he can be an effective midfield presence again. Couldn't hurt surely

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 9 days ago

        No like Mata has been particularly effective so far

        1. chrisjdgrady
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Yep exactly. Would add some muscle and maybe he still has a goal in him somewhere

  26. eish
    12 years, 9 days ago

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
