With double gameweek investments to ponder, why not pop in to get an instant view on the current Fantasy Football buzz, fire your question into the chatroom ether and see what pearls of wisdom are sent back. Dugout Discussion follows for today’s 12.45 kick-off at Old Trafford.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Now that is hard. Everybody's written Gyan off but I'm quietly hopeful, even considered him for the armband. But I'm playing both, couldn't call between them.

      Smalling -> Fulham defender if you can afford it. Rio tweeted about having a pre match meal so he'll probably start. If not, just play Walker and save your transfers. Team is good.

        Thanks mate. No much in the bank - 0.4

        Had a feeling Smalling wouldnt start, was pushing it last week.

        I think Bramble/Welbeck/Smalling are all in the line to go. Just dont know who to replace with.

        Have 4.8 for FUL DF .... Baird?

        Not a clue who to (c)

      How much money in bank? Obvious move is Welbeck OUT Zamora/Sturridge IN, Zamora being the better option this week in m view.

      I would keep your other freebie to prepare for GW36, good team for this week there. Would bench Adam in favor of Zamora then.

      If you can't afford Zamora I would be tempted by Smalling OUT Fulham defender IN, not sure he will start today

        Sadly cant get bobby, that was my initial reaction. (Just looked at my team now for the first time this week) bad times.

          Either choice could work out, there's nothing crazy about doing either one. If you fancy Dempsey go for it, many others will be with you.
