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

    Hmm time to ditch the ManU players now I think.

    How does this sound for -4?

    Rooney > Ageuro
    Mata > Sterling

    No brainer?

    1. LOCO ABREU

      keep rooney

        I'll keep Rooney as well but he's off captaincy duty for a while.

      Good good transfers. 4 point hit is a bit of a pain admittedly, but you'll probably make 0.5m in team value, as well as having no united players stinking up your team for GW4.

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      no brainer. Kun is a bit of a gamble though.

      1. dannytoffee

        11 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero doesn't make sense when you look at the fixtures and his fitness and when you look at ManUs fixtures. Yet, he just keeps scoring goals.

    Love Van Gaals "I'm always crap at the start" get out clause

    Can only imagine the reaction if the chosen one had uttered those words 😀

      Although I hate Man U. He hasn't be able to play his 433 due to injuries. Plus you are one of the ignorant english fans who expects immediate results....

      1. Kew Pee Arr
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        No, ignorant Utd fans. Don't tar "English fans" you xenophobe.

      2. RabMac
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He won't be able to either as Rafael is always injured. 😉

      3. Bucky Barnes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I'm very happy with Van Gaals immediate results long may they and my ignorance continue oh wise one

  3. Butthead

    How can Williamson be starting, thought he got sent off? Transferred him out for Dummet for a hit, now he doesn't start. Massive Lols at me. Now realise cup game. What a c0ck up! Hopefully Eto'o captain pays off...

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Served his ban in the League Cup

    6. Kew Pee Arr
      • 12 Years

      It's all Rodney's fault

  6. Hughes Your Daddy

    Jones CS and 3 baps would be awesome.

  8. Somalion
    • 16 Years

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

      Me too coz I have Dzeko, Rooney mata, dummet, Debuchy.... Too many hits to remove them

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly. I just don't want to take lots of hits to get Aguero in etc. so may as well.

  9. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    That's that then.

    1. Elniñorules

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      A certain injured spanish midfielder

  11. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Might switch (c) to Hazard

    1. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      UFPL? Can't do that unfortunately.

  12. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Can someone please explain to me why on earth Blackett keeps playing long balls

  13. Svidde
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Mata -> ?

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

      Sterling, Lamela, Fabregas, Ramsey, Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Siggy, Lallana, Eriksen.... pretty much anyone your budget allows really.

    2. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Silva perhaps

  15. Nurse Chilli
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Who's the guy who said united would explode this week and told me I was completely wrong in saying they wouldn't? Nothing better than saying I told you so on the internet.

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

      Sad

  16. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Wildcard time. Rooney out?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Waste of a WC

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Most certainly.

    3. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Transfer out all players that don't score this week.

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I have to WC to counter a bunch of droppers. May as well dump dead wood.

  17. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Well played burnley!

  18. Butthead
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Still beating Liverpool to 4th, yeah?

  19. The Mighty Slovenian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Has Valencia ever touched the ball with his left foot? I know he never kicked it ...

    What a poor player.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      His same move is extremely frustrating

  20. SENTI CAZORLA
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Burnley drop 2 points

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Feels like it.

  21. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    If Jovetic fails going to end up wildcarding

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

    Shame that Rooney didn't perform but really happy with Jones's performance. 🙂

  23. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So Rooney and mata will surely fall by 0.3 each in the next 2 weeks?

    1. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      At 0.2 and possibly the 0.3 depending on how many WC get played.

    2. Grumpy Camel
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      not with QPR at home next surely.

  24. RabMac
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    At least Jones got 9 points 😉

  25. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    On the upside

    Last time we went to Burnley we lost 1-0
