Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Players Who Will Earn Major Points This Week

5. Wayne Rooney

Manchester United have fallen on hard times in recent weeks, making their worst start to a league season since 1989, and picking up just three wins from eight games. They dropped yet more points against Southampton in their last Premier League outing but returned to winning ways against Real Sociedad on Wednesday, with Wayne Rooney outstanding. The pressure of Rooney's attacking menace caused Inigo Martinez to slice into his own net in the 1-0 victory for the defending English champions while the striker says he has been given a "new lease of life" under Moyes. It's great to see Rooney enjoying his football again, and he is once more expected to pull all the strings when the Red Devils take on Stoke tomorrow. In this fixture, United are particularly dominant, winning all of their last nine home league games against the Potters, and I expect this to continue, with Rooney being at the centre of everything positive.
