Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Leicester City

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.

        Norwegian forum. An Everton fan that came up with the information.

        You're a slightly different case though.

      On what evidence? I was looking for a hint he was injured, can't see anything.

    Rashford rested for Stoke 😆

    That's better. Rooney on should ensure that Ibra blanks.

        • 8 Years

    Gonna lol so hard if Rooney scores and Ibra doesn't.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      Bet he takes a pen off him!!

  10. Fowler23

    Rooney shot on target and he did not even know it

  11. Win'dian
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Why Ibra doing a Rooney today..
    He's not at all running into the box and instead trying to play Rushford and others.

  12. itwaswritten
    • 7 Years

    Ibrat still hasn't scored. Talent always wins!

  13. Messiah Hazard

    Evans in for Baines. Oh WBA, please keep a CS

  14. Thomas Magnum

    Vicious strike from Rooney

  15. Rolls-Royce

    Ibra owners, whats the plan? Sell after Stoke?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Probably but for who. Lukakus good fixtures will be over. Only Costa left. Let's see if he keeps banging them in.

    2. SuperMario
      • 14 Years

      re-assess next week.. some people may end up selling this week which could be great news for you when he bags a hat trick

    Should Rash now be starter on its still not nailed?

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      1. NestorC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        So people who get him will play 3 5 2 or what? Thinking about Ibra to Rash and than some mid to Sanch

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 9 Years

      He will start in league games.

  25. Count of Monte Hristo

    7 years, 7 months ago

    That's football I guess, we can't possibly know the lineups. Educated guesswork.

  26. fedolefan

    OMG, useless Jakupovic. Pickford better not throw in a clanger else I'm looking at no keeper 1 week after a WC.

      This was always inevitable though..

  27. Chucky

    0-0 in WBA-STK game too much to ask for? have got 3 def in that game

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same. If there was ever a game to be a 0-0 though...

  28. JogaSemmedo

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Some of the pathetic reactions on here to team news but should never be surprised.

    Baines and Lovren not end of the world. Rashford punt delivered today and now got Kun (c), Kaku, Sterling, Firmino and Sanchez to look forward too

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Well, I drafted three apparently injured defenders on my WC. That seems almost statistically impossible, yet I did it. Great management! Not!. Still, no the end of the world....

    Should have played AOA.. Stones and Amat probably coming off the bench but Capoue stuck on it 🙁

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You know what happens next then ...

    I own Foster and Mcauley but I feel there wont be a CS for them against Stoke
