No sign of RVP news on Twitter at the minute...

GetWithIt

Ahhhhh, sweet sweet fantasy football.

And I've even gone and made a last minute change on my starting 11, Sissoko in - Lambert out, just to be totally back in the swing of things.

Good news for all the Lambert owners. He always does amazingly well as my 12th man.

Kept for Monday I'd imagine. Someone mentioned England players were late back from their game.

RVP has also had a bit of a barren spell so, after he scored for Holland, I'm sure Fergie wanted him to keep a good run of form going.

I finally went for RVP too, though I think I must have done it at some point in the middle of the night because I was sure it was on Suarez.

Bigtoe107

Took out Rvp for Rooney great start to the week!

iMuse

It's time RVP rewards those who stuck with him.

prettyboy81

Any chance of no assist seeing as it was a deflection of a deflection?

Success. Between that and Evra not playing a lot of people wont be getting Utd clean sheets today.

Will Evans be on long enough to get the 60 mins? Have him in my team.

FPL saying Raf went off after 31 mins, and Evans on after 14, so looks like he will be a minute short.

I would've thanked your post but it's not the answer i was looking. Disaster.

Also have Vidic backed so all is not lost yet

Jax Teller

Seeing on twitter Mata hasn't travelled with the Chelsea team as he has fever .

roryc

No Evra again? FU Fergie! In fairness needed De Gea to start more...

Take RVP off please

And now now Mata? FFS

Tis a bit lousy that one. Considering the added time, he'll likely play for over 60 minutes. How often does it work the other way and a clean sheet is lost in the 91+ minute? Everton, I'm looking at you...

Ian Dennis of the BBC reporting on Twitter that Mata will not feature today due to a fever.

If thats the case I hope Southampton hockey them. (Or Clyne at least starts and plays well)

batistuta9

why did Rafael get taken off?

Fowler87

No Rooney, Mata and Debuchy so will struggle to field XI this GW

Yes come on Southampton, Clyne to do well

Wish I'd gone through with the Mata to Hazard transfer now :mad:

Swiper the fox

No Mata or Rooney, at this stage I could do with someone scoring in this game to take bonus points off RVP, he'll prob score himself though:(

roryc

I don't think injury time is counted for the clean sheet purposes. If he came on at 31 minutes I think he can't get the points.

SpaceCowb0y

Just got a chance to check in now... No Evra is a bit of a kick in the nuts as i took a punt on Sagna so if he doesnt play i'm left with Davies AND Mariappa to come on!:o

Guthrie starts so that's something but no Harte Come on Santi (c) now!

manual_man

Not the best start with Evans Walcott and Mata. Can see myself struggling to get a decent gw score, though i imagine it might be the same for alot of people. Come on captain Silva. Need you to deliver the goods

roryc

I'm using all subs already with Walcott, Evra and Mata all out.

Anything other than minus points for Harte would be welcome!

roryc

No Harte? Fantastic, playing with maximum 10.

darego

Guthrie saving me from fielding 10 this week. happy with my walcott to cazorla(C) transfer so far
