Gameweek 3 gets underway with a lunchtime encounter between Burnley and troubled United. Having lost their first two matches, the Clarets are desperate to get points on the board and will certainly be buoyed by the current form of today’s opponents, as Louis van Gaal’s side stumble from one poor result to another.

With Angel di Maria poised to make his debut for the visitors, though, Fantasy owners of United’s attackers have a renewed sense of optimism for the Turf Moor meet. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie are all more than capable of delivering in emphatic fashion and could be set to benefit from the Argentine’s arrival.

Following this one, we have five matches to savour at 3pm before Everton host Chelsea in the evening kick-off at Goodison.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Valencia's crossing is shite

    Sir Alex on the Rooney diet I see

    Get Januzaj on!!!

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's been shite recently though

    Mata is still probably the best United 'cover' considering his price and average returns.

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If you think you need cover

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe not..

      If you like owning players with torn hamstrings.

    DDG for 3 BPS vs Burnley.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No way

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

  9. Jay Jay Okocha

    Dzeko, Mata, Rooney... terrible start to the weekend. I guess I can kiss the top 1k goodbye.

    Costa starting and scoring a brace would be the cherry on top.

    1. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Annnd Mata's done his hammy.

  10. Gooner97

    De Gea bonus points? 1 at least?

  11. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Normally this would be hilarious.

    F**k you, fantasy football.

  12. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years

    I dropped DDG, kept Mata and captained Rooney 😐

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I feel for you, I got dimmest for Hutton, kept Dzeko but captained Rambo.
      I am seriously thinking about wildcarding to get rid of the dirt

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Dummet*

  13. Feanor

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Begovic to save an Aguero penalty, then come off with a slight strain but a clean sheet.

    Dzeko repalces Aguero, and scores a brace in the last 10 minutes.

    1. Kew Pee Arr
      • 12 Years

      That's hoping for more than even a Utd win.

  14. PGR

  29. RabMac

    Really don't understand why LVG and Moyes did not play Januzaj more as he is one of the few players who actually performs.

    1. chuckberry04
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, I think VG going is slowly getting him in tho.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He should start Janujaz & ADM either side of RVP (Or Rooney)
      Would get the best out of all three players then.
      It's just the squad is so lopsided.
      Mata never should have been signed, with 20-20 hindsight

      1. RabMac
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Mata is a brilliant player but if they are not going to play a system that uses his full potential then I agree with you that he should not have been signed.

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Mata dead
