The Knee Jerk – United Rip It Up

28 August 2011 3323 comments

Manchester United have just joined Edin Dzeko in turning Gameweek three upside down.

In 90 minutes of football, United simply blitzed a bewildered Arsenal, ravaged by injury and suspension, ill-equipped and unprepared for the waves of United attacks and individual brilliance thrown at them.

For Fantasy owners of Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young, United’s 8-2 win has brought a rare bounty of points that will have transformed their Gameweek scoring. Three goals and an assist from Rooney, a brace and and three assists from Young, the returns are beyond our wildest expectations and the stuff of nightmares for Arsenal fans and their beleaguered manager who could only watch on while their inexperienced and shell-shocked side were dismantled. Those Fantasy managers without the United pair are unlikely to feel much better – mini-leagues have been turned on their head by today’s events.

This afternoon will have a major impact on the Fantasy Premier League game with Young and Rooney now inevitably set to enjoy huge investment during the international break. Prices will rise, Wildcards will flutter – an extraordinary end to our Fantasy Gameweek.

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

      Trying to work a way back in to this game is going to be tough.

      No Dzeko/Nasri/Young/Rooney when most of my opponents have at least 2 is going to be tough since I'll most likely just be chasing them.

      Lucky captain calls and differentials to the rescue I guess...

    So many people will be wildcarding now, it would be a shame not to take advantage of this - money printing will be huge. And although four hours ago I would not advise wildcarding to anyone, now I am sure it is the right way to go ahead.

    Wilcard then.

      You're right though. I didn't have any United coverage but I still had a decent haul. No Wildcard for me. Sit down, have a cup of tea, wait for the international break and reassess.
