    Hi all,

    What would you do with this lot? Took -8 to get here this week and im only 20pts off of our main work mini league and its worth a fair few quid so any help is appreciated?

    ------- Mannone (boruc) -------
    Jones - Zaba - Ivan (ward, fonte)
    Mata - Yaya (vc) - Sterling - Ramsey (bench fodder)
    Suarez - Aguero (c) - Rooney

    Thanks in advance all! 🙂

          BBC - The Manchester United striker has a minor groin problem and temporary boss Ryan Giggs says he is a doubt for Saturday's home game with Sunderland,

          However, the BBC understands Rooney will miss the Old Trafford clash with the Premier League strugglers.

              No, the language used it when they have been tipped off. That means a source has told them that. If it was speculation it wouldn't have been worded in that way.

                Yeah it does sound like that, but they may want it to sound like that. Either way Giggs said he wants to play, and that he monitor him over the next 24 hours.

    Still deciding between Vidic and Jones. What's the general consensus on here? I was veering towards Vidic in case Rafael came back but now I'm thinking he can't be back if Giggs didn't mention him at all earlier?

    I just tweeted @WayneRooney asking if he was fit or not but he hasn't replied so I guess we're still none the wiser.

        Mine too but seems wrong to bench him with the DGW and the fact he's in decent form. Eriksen is rather poor away from home so might be able to get away with him as 1st sub.

        I'm also playing Rooney so there's a chance both will play anyway if he's a no show
