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

    Cheverlot must be delighted with their sponsorship so far.

    Hope they have a CL clause....

      Helm*

  11. The Mighty Ducks
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Watching United almost reminds me of watching England, possession for possessions sake, until someone gets bored and plays a long ball. No real pace or anything about it.

  12. Orion
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Every team in the league looks better and more organised than UTD 🙁

  13. Theseus
    12 years, 2 months ago

  14. Djerbil

    these long balls are clearly designed to get the best out of ADM 🙄

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

      I'm just hoping when we have our first choice XI back things look much better.

    2. Djerbil
      12 years, 2 months ago

      LVG once planned to play long balls and play 3-5-2 vs a Team that played a Very High Offside Trap and won 5-1 ..

      He has been doing the same since

  16. Jafooli
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone quoting FPLDiscovery, please can you correctly reference and acknowledge Smarty Pants and his team.

    And get the layout right.

  17. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
    12 years, 2 months ago

    The united team is worth a ridiculous sum of money THey are playing like a bunch of school girls.

  18. Mr_Partridge

    Have been watching footie for about 20 years now, and I honesty think that Andy Cole was better then Wayne Rooney.

    Andy Cole only got a handful of caps. Rooney has almost 100.

    This is the problem with English football

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Ive been saying for ages Rooney should be dropped. Now he is captain, Ive given up on England.

    2. Mull
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yes but Andy Cole had to compete with Shearer and Owen whereas Rooney has to compete with no one.

  19. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Am I the only one furious about that Mata miss..? I mean come ooooonnn Big Chance Missed !!! Huge one if I may aded

    Uniteds back five are just aweful. Terrible. Horrendous.

  23. Somalion
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Poor poor football from United.

  24. HUMZAH96
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Woke up like 15 mins after the deadline so I wouldn't make any last choice changes 🙂

    How are we all? Good luck 😀

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

    Man Utd will win this.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Probably. Doesn't make their ineptitude any less funny

  28. Wouter
    12 years, 2 months ago

    United need someone who can lead that defence. They look like Brazil without Thiago Silva against Germany atm. Need to get a player like Vlaar in who can control them.

    1. Gorgles
      12 years, 2 months ago

      They need Hummels

  29. Colonel Wasabi

    Aaagagghh

    That smug feeling of knowing you've put the armband on Siggy....and then double check your team to find you didn't confirm the C and VC changes....

    Eggs in the pig's basket now 😮

    1. AB 92
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hah I still think he's going to get one or two, still early on.

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

        I hope so.....
        At least most of the herd have Roo as skipper....so not as damaging as it might have turned out to be.....
