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

    • Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

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

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

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

        knock down those ADM crosses

        1. chrisjdgrady
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months 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
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            No like Mata has been particularly effective so far

            1. chrisjdgrady
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

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