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

    That might just be enough to push me into wildcarding. Because I want Balotelli, Sterling, Hazard, one of Aguero/Jovetic/Yaya + I want to sort my defence out. Cheers Mata.

    No way was that a penalty.

      Why? Is blocking the ball with your arm not an offense anymore?

        Dont fall for a wum!

        1. Bob.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I know he is a wum but would like his explanation 😉

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        You haven't a clue

      3. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Was it intentional? It was hit at him from about 3 yards away!

        1. Bob.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          He wasnt that close to it. Passed a couple of players first and he put his arms out to block it. Not like it hit his shoulder or anything.

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            I'm not convinced. But refereeing does involve a degree of interpretation... 🙂

    thinking about mata to sterling and than getting aguero in for either costa or rooney for -4pts.
    Not sure yet if i should do it right away and hoping for the best over the next 2 weeks so that i can save that wc or use it the moment sth happens.

    Burnley really need to be going for the win against teams they'll be fighting against come May.

      How much will he play? Bench appearances here & there imo

  7. Fifa las vegas

    Mata kinda has to go now 😕

    Hello, lamela!

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Lamela is going to give you the same kind of trouble.

    2. - DC -
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Perfect time for a wildcard IMO.

  8. roli3
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    That would have been Rooney's penalty and goal

  9. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years

    Stupid internationals. Those with a WC will sell Mata while I can't take the risk.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years

      Risk of what?

      I'm dropping him tomorrow

        March/April WC for me. I make too much from those DGWs to not keep it.

    Remember when people said United would win the title.

    Where are they?

      I honestly don't remember anyone saying that.

      1. Get up ya bum

        Me either tbf.

    4. Jairzinho

      Non United fan here.

      After their pre season, I genuinely thought they'd be challenging.

      There seemed to be something about them under Val Gaal.

    5. MCH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Probably doing something very different from two years ago when people were last saying that.

    6. KOKAK
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      They are now supporting other United teams (e.g. Newcastle United)! 😀

  11. Nice 2 Michu
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Rooney > Aguero 2.0m ITB already have Jovetic aswell.

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Look at the fixture and stop.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Utd could be playing league 2 team's & Rooney still wouldn't score.
        Aguero could be playing Barca/Bayern/Madrid every week & he would always score.
        Go figure.

        1. Nice 2 Michu
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          This

      2. Nice 2 Michu
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        What? Burnley? In the relegation zone?

      3. Planet Jo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        This. But with the Sheepwagon underway, the difference in price between the two could move from 1.5 to 1.8 or 1.9 by the end of the break

  12. Bøwstring The Carp

      5. La Roja
        • 14 Years

        Really unnecessary

      6. Yome

        Calm down, you are the loser that took him out before his goal

    • Volk
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Man Utd's 'easy' start to the season, they said...

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        What the hell will it be like when United's fixtures stiffen up? They appear to be in serious trouble if finishing 4th is the goal. They'll probably score a late goal now that i've typed that!

    • Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If i already have 3 Chelsea players i konw i get to keep em even if i get a 4th due to a transfer.

      But, and i pretty much know the answer, if i then want to transfer say JT to Cahill i am not allowed am i?
      I guess i then can transfer to any player but a Chelsea?

      Bye the way what is the record in having players from the same team?

      1. Texas Pete
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        3. It's all your allowed

      2. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        The next transfer you make will have to be a Chelsea player out as well.

    • Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Am I the only one who doesn't think that's a penalty? Maybe I'm being subconsciously biased, worth another look...

      1. Volk
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Wasn't a pen

      2. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        It was in my opinion. Shot at goal and he uses both hands to block it.

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Blasted from close range, I saw of it as stomach and then hands, looked unintentional to me.

      3. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I think it was

      4. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        It was never a penalty.

      5. Bob.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Seems a few people think it wasn't a pen for some strange reason. Looked like a clear pen to me though.

        Krul (Mannone)
        N.Taylor, Dummett, Terry (Dier, Robertson)
        Silva, Fabregas, Ramsey, Siggy, Lamela
        Aguero(c), Jovetic (Naismith)

        If I don’t move up from position 2,450,000 this week, I might give up this game!
