Yeah me too, i was kind of hoping that we would bring in a youngester at the back just so we could move Fletcher into midfield but lets have a little more faith in Anderson, and worry a little that Gibson was the better option at RB! I have nothing against him but hes not the most mobile player...
He won't be at right back, he'll play exactly where he has done the last two games.

Makes more sense having a midfield 5 with that defence and with park playing RB with Gibson in midfield

MUTV has Anderson as the 1 in a 4-4-1-1 with a Scholes-Gibbo pairing in the middle.
Just checked UEFA and they have the same, lined up as I posted a little earlier. I presume that's what has been handed out.

Regardless of the result, I'd like to see Eikrem get a run out, maybe coming on for Scholes in the second half if Scholes starts to flag (not being as young as he once was)

Don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if we see:

Fletcher---Carrick---Evra---Park

I agree with five man midfield though

They'd just stick Dzeko on Evra and rape him in the air.

I know its a CL match and a match to determine whether we are top or second (and most people say you get hard games regardless but id rather United avoid Barca for now) but that team is hilarious.

A squad as big as ours and we get problems in one area.

Fanstistic team, should make for an entertaining game.

Nani - Score 3 goals, one for each of Park's lungs

Park - Carrick - Fletch - Evra

Attack is the best form of defence for us. Dont sit back and give the back 4 and keeper plenty of work to do. Always keep the ball in their half whenever possible.
Yep, only way to win this game is like you said.

fecking hell... Having 1 defender and 9 midfielders/attackers in the starting XI is every muppet's wet dream on FIFA or FM... In reality it's actually a bit scary. :lol::nervous:
Isnt it just?! It is just the most bizzare thing I have ever seen in Football. I cant wait for this match now!

You know it's true.
I see - You think only having one defender is still a bit weighted in our favour so you're offering to start with just 10 men to give Wolfsburg a chance?

Alternatively you could put Welbeck in there ;)

edit: And limit Nani to just the one wing and let Scholesy get a run out too
