Midfielders
This week: Hazard (Che), Shelvey (Swansea), Bentaleb (Tottenham), Schneiderlin (Southampton)
Alternates: Ince (Hull), Fabregas (Che), Ward-Prose, Tadic (Southampton), Mata (Man U)
Long term: All listed Southampton midfielders above plus S. Davis, Wanyama, & Ramirez if you are feeling extra lucky, Ince (Hull), Fabregas, Schurrle, Oscar (Che), Cabella (Newcastle), Mata, Fletcher, Young (Man U)
Forwards

It's fitting that the Korean 'Gerrard' helps sink Man U
What a glorious way to kick off the Prem. With goals from Ki Sung-yeung and Gylfi Sigurdsson, Swansea took all three points at Old Trafford, winning 2-1. The South Korean is affectionately known as 'Gerrard' and 'Kirrard' by the Asian press, a well-deserved moniker after his performance today. The best part about his goal though is how Wilifred Bony manhandled Phil Jones to make space for Sung-yeung's shot. He tosses the dimwitted defender aside like a limp hot god. It's a thing of beauty.
I wonder what Van Gaal must be thinking now? Mangoloid U dominated possession, completed 87% of their passes, had three times as many shots, and won two-thirds of aerial battles. There's not much more they could have done. I actually feel a little sorry for the Dutchman, if he doesn't get at least one great player in, they are going to be in trouble. Did Herrera even play today? Never mind, I see he committed a couple of fouls.
There's a smile on David Moyes' mug right about now that not even a sledgehammer could crush. Van Gaal took one match to break-in the record book, first time ever in the Prem that United have lost their opening match and the first ever league win for Swansea at Old Trafford. There are 37 more to go though, and you'd have to lower your intelligence level to a Manc not realize United will improve.
