Mannone
Zaballeta, Jones,
Yaya, Mata, A Johnson
Aguero, Rooney,

That's the 8 players that'll definitely start but I'll wait until the end of the week before I decide the rest of the team.

I'd go with De Gea in goal, its still no certainty what giggs back 4 will be every game. Get a cert Sunderland defender then instead of Jones.

I've got a week to pick a team so no rush at the moment.

Liverpool to win tomorrow so no worries about FF until Thursday!

Will do Silva to Yaya.

Leaving me with:

Mannone
Bardsley Chester Kompany
Eriksen Ramsey Yaya Mata
Rooney Suarez Aguero

8 DGW players. 2 home fixtures means I can't see myself looking past Rooney for captain again.

I thought Rafael was injured, hamstring? Jones has played the last 8 in a row, where United have kept 4 clean sheets. He also bagged a goal and assist. Smalling has played alongside him twice, so I don't think it's definitively an either/or scenario. Good point on Vidic, it would be nice to see him play out the remaining games. As much as I'd love to have himself or Evra for the goal threat, I've been f**ked over before (by Evra) in a DGW when he was rested for the easier game, so the focus needs to be getting the defender most likely to play both games.

Rafael will reportedly be back in contention for the sunderland game, so even if he weren't to make that he could feature in the second game v hull.
Jones played at right back yesterday but most of his games over the period you mentioned were at centre back when Moyes wasn't picking rio and also evans was injured. smalling was also injured for a few games in that period.

So with Rio, evans and smalling all vying for a centre back slot alongside vidic it might mean Jones misses out on a game, however, he did play well yesterday so giggs could opt to keep him there even if rafael is back.
If rafael is confirmed out then jones is a great shout, because even vidic isn't 100% nailed on.
I got burnt with vidic for the last dgw (got him in the week before and then he was suspended for the first game of it) so somewhat reluctant to go for him again but i can't afford evra so will see what news comes out about rafael friday and base my decision on that then.

I can afford Evra but unsure whether he'll play, and like I said above been burned previously. It's two games in three days and Giggs might still want the likes of Buttner to get a game. My rival has De Gea who is the most likely to play both games, so it's vital I don't miss out on a likely 6+ points by picking a defender who then gets rested. There will definitely be at least one player who plays both. Need to get this one right.

I think its impossible to predict. Rio, vidic and evra will definetly play 1 game to give them a send off. I cant see rio playing the 2 vidic and evra have a chance. Smalling will probably play 1 as may evans. Jones has a chance of 2 moreso if rafael is out and buttner may play 1. The most likely to play 2 IMO are jones and vidic but it wouldnt surprise me if no defender played 2. Im steering clear as I dont think its worth a -4 even though the fixtures are great.

i think it was fairly commonly known that rio and evra were on their way out this summer under moyes and while that may well still be the case, Giggs has played with both for many years and may just give them this chance to prove themselves worthy of another season, Rio wouldn't play 3 games in 8 days though so it's my guess he'd play v sunderland, rested v hull and then play v southampton.
Evra i think could play all 3, despite doing decent against bayern and in a league match recently buttner is never going to be first choice at united so i don't think he needs "looking at", the only reason i could see him playing is if they've earmarked to sell him this summer and want to give him a send off game at old trafford.
so as busts also says, most likely to play both are vidic and jones (if rafael is still out), i'd put evra very close behind that but as i said above, there is always that nagging doubt that if buttner is out in the summer he'll be given a send off.
but don't do anything before friday as vidic could still face action and rafaeel being declared fit would take away from jones' appeal.

edit: there is as much a nagging doubt about buttner been given a send off as there is lindegard so i wouldn't say your opponent has banked united defensive cover for tboth games, to put it in percentage though, i'd be about 95% sure of DDG starting both, about 90% sure of vidic starting both and 85% on Evra. couldn't comment on jones % until rafael is known to be back or not.

Would Rio not start the Hull game with Vidic and Evra as a final send off at Old Trafford? I think if they'll be rested for a game it'll be vs Sunderland as the Hull match is the last if the season at OT.

Far from done deal that evra is going anywhere, dont be surprised if he plays all

Will probably do Gerrard to Mata tonight as Mata's price is due to rise. Don't like doing it early in the week but otherwise I won't be able to afford Distin to Kompany later in the week. Rival has Demichelis so want to differentiate. Going with a city defender as they've a much better fixture than United in GW 38.

Would another hit be worth it to go Lallana to Fernandinho?

Suarez out wickham in

No really though, what is your transfer?

Waiting for city game. Probably mirallas to yaya

Will Bruce play in Hull's next game, why was he playing this weekend?

I'm starting to consider it.

It'd mean selling Suarez though and that seems like madness.

Great, Bruce Bonus.. probably won't be played in next game then... I wish I picked the right hull defender in Chester.
