Sunday gets underway with a noon kick-off at Old Trafford as United prepare to take on Everton. The Toffees registered back-to-back wins over their hosts last season, though with Louis van Gaal at the helm, the Red Devils are slowly starting to find their feet and go in search of a third successive home win this afternoon.

With Wayne Rooney suspended, Van Gaal – as expected – hands Juan Mata the role in “the hole”, while Antonio Valencia replaces the injured Ander Herrera in one of only two changes by the Dutchman. Up top, Robin van Persie goes in search of a third successive strike and strike partner Radamel Falcao is still looking for his first goal since arriving on loan from Monaco.

The likes of Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin and James McCarthy all miss out for Everton, though Steven Pienaar returns to the XI, as Roberto Martinez rolls out a 4-2-3-1, with the South African joining Steven Naismith and Aiden McGeady in the attacking midfield three behind Romelu Lukaku.

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

            11 years, 4 months ago

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

  6. In Like Flynn.
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    Lukaku should have the penalties.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      😯

    2. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah because Baines always misses 🙄

  7. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Tadic----> Wilshere

    Who's with me? Young jacks gonna go big today

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He's on 4 yellows though.

    2. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Jeez you suggest some terrible transfers! 🙂

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Unfortunately he also does some of them.

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

          😆

        2. chocolove
          • 15 Years

          😆

  8. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I don't own Aguero, ADM or Welbeck. Needless to say I'm being hammered in both my MLs

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

      Welbeck blank today

  9. Fpl Old Guard
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Another spawny ADM assist!!!!!!!!!

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

      It was a fake shot cross. Pure genius

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        You're either joking, delusional or blind

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          He's Blind posting on here while marshalling the midfield

        2. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Blind had a good view of it

          1. Fpl Old Guard
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            There should be "pure" assist bonus like the MATA one that laid it on a plate for ADM, albiet a good finish from him, which have more points awarded than a lucky one

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

              Would be too difficult to decipher which are "pure" assists and which were accidental.

            2. Greenbackbøøg…
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              no

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Daley?

    2. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      the master of scuffed assists 😀

      1. Fpl Old Guard
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        haha you tell I dont own ADM, I have held onto Mata since the start, hoping ym loyalty pays off

  10. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Another United defensive injury!

  11. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard Sterling Siggy Henderson Cattermole

    Costa Aguero Welbeck

    Already brought it Welbeck for Adebayor to catch the rise.

    Do I do Hazard to Di Maria for a hit?

  12. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I don't guess LVG thinks Januzaj is very important. 🙁

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Think he wants him to work on his decision making before bringing him into the first team

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

        he should work on his own decision making imo

    2. Wax
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Well he's not.

  13. Lingardium Leviosa.

    ADM today's captain in Sky. I'll take that whatever Costa does.

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Same here, with Falcao up top too!

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Falcao as well in my 2nd team. They might become my first team at this rate.

  15. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    This lad Wilson looks a great prospect by the way.

  16. Declan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Balls.

  17. Big Sum
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    a) Aguero+Mangala+N.Taylor

    b) Falcao+Ivanovic+N.Taylor

    c) Pelle+Ivanovic+Baines+ 0,5 ΙΤΒ

    Thanks in advance

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      B

  18. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    If RVP is subbed, who'll get the armband? (Oh wait Falcao came off.)

  19. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Christ LVG is gonna wreck our season with his RVP love in.

  20. Kip
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Wow

    Before the start of this match it thought my team was fine
    now i want to push the button and WC

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      It is the worst defence in the league with 2 starters missing though.

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

        but still,

        no midweek matches and prices going through the roof. Also Baines

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Then smash that button! 😉

  21. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Screw u lvg

  22. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    how does RVP stay on?? does he give Van Gaal a free blow every morning??

    1. laGan1n1
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      xD

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Reach around after the match surely.

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He is one of LVG's lieutenants on the pitch

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        That's one hell of an example for the rest of the squad.

  23. gruffyboy
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry for the repost, but opinion seems divided so far. The question: is this ripe for a WC this week or just wholesale change to the forward line?

    Foster/Krul
    Bertrand / PVA / Moore / Hutton / Chambers
    Sterling / Sig / Tadic / Chadli / Di Maria
    Bojan (I know...) / Falcao / Balo

    4m in the bank, 1 FT

    Cheers

  24. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    LvG's love for RvP gettin stupid now.

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed (and yes, I'm a Falcao owner)

  25. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    baines very close to a bap even with that pen miss

    1. ronty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      best player on the pitch

      this is why I prefer reporters giving baps over useless stats

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Any link to Wakey members area table for attacking stats for the GW?

    Please and thanks

  27. Chinese_person
    • 14 Years

    Who said Hazard was benched? Liars.

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      send them to the gallows!! 👿

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      You should know better than believe the trolls without an official link.

  28. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Why does he need a rest, no midweek games, he's just scored, confidence on the up

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Presumably because of the knee injury earlier this year - easing him in

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Returning from injury still

    3. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      forgot about the injury, makes sense

  29. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Okay need to get ADM in. Would you drop Sterling or Fab?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Neither

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Tadic then?

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          See how Tadic performs, maybe five across the middle and two up top.

  30. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    ADM corners vs Nani corners, who wins?

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      ADM
