Gameweek 6 begins at Old Trafford where the Wayne Rooney circus is in full swing.

The United skipper is dropped to the bench by Jose Mourinho, causing a big stir that dominates the pre-match build-up.

When the dust settles, we can see a total of four changes in the United line-up, as Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are drafted in. Antony Martial and Luke Shaw miss out through injury, while Marouane Fellaini drops to the bench.

The big news for Fantasy managers is the continued emergence of Marcus Rashford, who is surely boosted by the decision to drop Rooney.

As for Leicester City, they are unchanged as Kasper Schmeichel remains sidelined amidst reports that he is now set to be absent for three weeks with his groin injury.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Blind is absolutely brilliant. If only he was nailed on.

      10 years, 1 month ago

      If only he was not Blind..

        coded tips?

    4. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You captained Ibra?

    5. Kanga roo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you captained him over Kun then you only have yourself to blame, friend

  3. Pedram
    10 years, 1 month ago

    4 goals but Ibra was not involved in any of them, What sorcery is this ?

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dr strange sorcery

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could've had one goal and an assist had Rashford scored

  4. Zoostation
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke & Redmond to Rashford & Firmino for -4 was the plan.

    At this point I'll be following through.

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Make sure u have a change of pants then 😉

      1. 32chickens
        10 years, 1 month ago

        nice

    2. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Perhaps, if Benteke blanks

      1. Zoostation
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ya obviously not until everything is played this week

  5. Mickeylicious
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Tinkering at 13.20 by switching Sanchez and Rashford to Ibra and snody is paying off!

    Never log in on Saturdays... Never log in on Saturdays... Never log in on Saturdays..... Never log in on Saturdays...

    1. 32chickens
      10 years, 1 month ago

      agreed-thankfully I learnt my lesson

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      and 45 more minutes

    2. Mickeylicious
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mata is fpl gold but mourinho is stubborn to play him

  7. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford in

    Ibra out

    Can't take it anymore

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    2. Slam
      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. Mickeylicious
      10 years, 1 month ago

      See above. I chickened out just before deadline

  8. Revival

    10 years, 1 month ago

    need a Leicester goal to win my bet, hope Utd switch off in 2nd half now

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Here's hoping for an Ibra hatty

  9. GENERATION X
    10 years, 1 month ago

    bar man city its so hard to predict form

  10. Wolverine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Has taken a few managers and a variety of positions but looks like mourinho has found rooneys best position after all...

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This.

    2. Somalion
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gonna be grim when Rooney comes on in the 80th minute and it ends 5-4

    3. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    4. 32chickens
      10 years, 1 month ago

      agreed +42

    5. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Still some work to be done, he can still be used as a sub.

    6. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe a different seat on the bench - one which is closer to the locker room

  11. John t penguin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone in anyone's ML got any of those points so far

    1. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba the only one with non-negligible ownership

    2. Railwayman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      One mate has Mata and other has Blind as first sub.

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Guy in my league started Rashford. Super genius.

    4. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Got in Rashford on my wildcard over Deeney. Fairly pleased with that one!

  12. Jazz!
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Had my doubts about a Herrera Pogba double pivot.

    Herrera's been sublime as a deep midfielder, allowing Pogba to go forward. 😀 Love you Ander.

    Pogba along with the rest of the team - brilliant.

    Love you Daley Blind!

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ander is brilliant

      I think United should try Pogba as a number 10

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mata been brilliant 🙂

        1. PvA
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Mata on the wing and Lingard out imo

          1. Jazz!
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Hmm possibly. Lingard has been a bit lost this game but I'd rather Mkhi in for him soon, and Mata keeps the 10. Pogba sublime as an 8.

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Herrera lacks positional discipline at times but he's quicker and hungrier than Fellaine, and is sublime on the ball. Pogba has been good.

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yup.

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Less clumsy than Fellaini too

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Very true

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's s great midfield 3. All great passers and creaters

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. 🙂

    4. Mickeylicious
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ander and mata gives Utd movement and much better passing

    5. Scholes Balls
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mata needs to play as well, he makes us look much more dangerous

  13. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The magician plays at 3!

    Here's hoping Coutinho starts

    1. klopp4kop
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes mate..:)

  14. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Wonder if Phil Neville still thinks Rooney should play. Dummy.

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lol

    2. Gravless wonder
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Him and every other 'pundit'

  15. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra could have had two already. No reason to sell IMO. Rashford still a very good prospect non the less.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could have had two? Lol, in that logic every striker could have had 5 in each game 😀

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could have but so did Rashford for a low price.

    3. Kanga roo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not good enough with a price tag like his.

  16. Fpldonny
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If mourinho takes ibra off at half time to give him a rest...

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Oh yeah it could be possible didn't think of that

  17. niloh1
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is rashford nailed

  18. GENERATION X
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ibra owners still 45 v a beaten side. brace still on

    1. Scholes Balls
      10 years, 1 month ago

      have you heard of mourinho?

  19. thep025
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero scoring big or blank today?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Big hopefully

    2. moz_1983
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't know.

    3. George Sillett
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Now let's see ? I'll tell you at 5.00pm.

  20. klopp4kop
    10 years, 1 month ago

    sublime manchester united or poor leicester??

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      2nd.. 3 goals on corners is just poor defending

    2. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of both.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both of course. It's 4-0!

  21. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    BPS update?

    1. thep025
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mata Pogba Blind -3,2,1

    2. George Sillett
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Look for yourself.

  22. GoonerByron
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke -> Rashford for the Stoke game next week.. Good transfer?

    1. karvs155
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Unless tekkers go mad this gw

      1. thepeen555
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This I'm afraid will wait and see later

    2. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'll be doing this.

  23. liiusions
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Rashford playing up front or on the wing?

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Up front

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      wing, scored goal from a quick corner

      1. Bushido
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But he's always been next to ibra when the chances have come by.

    3. karvs155
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wing

    4. *sigh*
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Playing wide mostly but central at corners with Inra back post.

    5. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wing but coming inside a lot

  24. Long Juan Silva
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic dropped again. Honestly don't know what his owners were hoping for. He was always a steady scorer.

    1. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Playing West Ham as well this GW, crazy stuff from those ppl who sold him

    2. cheekumz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I got rid, but reluctantly on a wc... i still really like him but theres just better ways to spend your fpl moneys!

  25. ★Kuntheman★
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibrahimovic>Rashford, Snodgrass>Sanchez, Shaw>Lovren

    🙂

  26. Skokym

    How is Ibra looking please? Is it a bad luck that he is not in the.points? Thx

    1. mipola
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bad luck.

      1. Skokym

  27. John t penguin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So does this prove or disprove the early kick off theory

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, it's just after lunch so their food is in digestion. Bad for goals as you can clearly see

  28. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is the Liverpool defense any good?

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Better.. might be even better if Karius starts in goal..

    2. klopp4kop
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes....lovren matip partnership looks solid...and if karius in goal...

  29. Art Vandelay
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ultimate kneejerk. Deeney > Rashford before Deeney even plays. 😆

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Makes sense

  30. itwaswritten
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ib4 Blind is in every team here for next week.
