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

    1. Kew Pee Arr
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Mata - loads of midfield options, but really only Aguero up front.

  11. Your Mum's Athletic
    12 years, 2 months ago

    we look better with RVP off

    1. Ole Gunnar Kush
      12 years, 2 months ago

  12. Messi & fabregas
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I cant believe Valencia shoots instead of crossing the ball! he cant be playing for man utd can he?

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      are the crosses working?

  13. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Utd only scored 2 goals vs Swansea/Sunderland/Burnley. Shocking returns.

  14. The Sarjeant
    12 years, 2 months ago

    What a joke. Why play it back go the keeper!

  15. CarelessGenius©
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1. Messi & fabregas
      12 years, 2 months ago

  16. Dr Dream
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Can Valencia not see those defenders stood right in front of him when he tries to cross..

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      yes, he just doesn't know how to beat them

      1. Dr Dream
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Over and over again...I can do that and for a lot less money.

  17. LewanGOALski
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I already wanna do Mata & Dzeko to Sterling & Adebayor 🙁

  18. Zep
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Mata with the conversion...

    Incidentally, he has 3pts... 😉

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      12 years, 2 months ago

      patient returns for the sophisticated fpl manager

    2. nedfoo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Technically a conversion gets 2 and a penalty kick gets 3

  19. HUMZAH96
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. LewanGOALski
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

    3. Kew Pee Arr

      No

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I am afraid the days of intense United pressure in the last 10 mins disappeared when SAF stepped down

    5. HUMZAH96
      12 years, 2 months ago

    6. Frozen flying mammoth

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  23. super zlatan

    1. MCH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Why would you not pay 0.5 million more for Colo who has security of starts and is good for BAPS ?!

  25. Dilzy
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Is the international break the perfect time for a wildcard?

    1. Kew Pee Arr
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  26. Wilshere Knowledge
    12 years, 2 months ago

  27. Royal5
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Valencia should consider retirement. Dreadful today.

    1. CarelessGenius©
      12 years, 2 months ago

      ....and everything's going through him on the right.....i wouldn't pass it to him.

      1. Royal5
        12 years, 2 months ago

        It's almost surreal that they keep feeding him.

  28. MJ6987
    12 years, 2 months ago

  29. The Finnisher
