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

    Untied relegation?

      Don't be ridiculous...... Of course.

    2. Theseus

      11 years, 7 months ago

      They should send them two leagues down
      Atrocious...

  2. thedarkhorse

    So glad I resisted going for the punt of RVP captain... United looking uncreative.

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If you have RVP surely he's your only captain option at his price.

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

        He will have his fair share of (c) games (if I keep him in, and assuming United improve), but other good options this week, gone for Sanchez.

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ok we have to be fair, we expect too much from this game. Must have in mind that two promoted sides are playing 😆 😆 😆

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

      Promoted and relegated...

    2. Mid-Table Obscurity

      • 12 Years

      Mate United's problem isn't the one player who is still learning the game.

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Course not. But he's not helping.

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

    Can't believe I put captaincy on a player that didn't score in the first 30 minutes of a football match.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    4. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You can only learn from your mistakes breadbin. But at your age it's worrying that you're still making those mistakes.

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

        I didn't really, just mocking those who complain do early.

    1. Bucky Barnes

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Why in the f*** are you worried about bps?

    2. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is it me or Barcelona 1 year ago was willing to pay 30m for Agger, they kept him and now to Brondby for 3m? WOW what a business

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

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

      Did you not see us at the World Cup? Constant long balls to Robben, who had to do create everything himself.

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

        had to create*

    2. Tin of Directors
      • 16 Years

  15. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
    • 14 Years

    Take mata off seriously. They need some spark

    1. Tin of Directors
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      To be fair he's not in a position to do anything
      Seems to be overlooked by the other players

  21. Bobby

    I don't understand how Man U won all of their games pre-season - this is terrible.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Utd = Boselli

      1. Messi & fabregas

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Can we wait till they concede first do 😉

    3. andyinasia
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      But seriously, Villa want Cleverley but can't afford his wages: indictment of the English malaise.

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

    Big respect to Agger for not joining another PL team.

    I think he's a big loss for Pool.

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, don't see that much nowadays. Great respect for him also to Liverpool for allowing him to leave for only £3mil

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

        Just wish they were playing him to be honest 😕 But that's how it goes.

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

      Yeah, a real shame he's gone, but I completely understand him wanting out.

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

        Aye, still think he was the best CB on the books. True shame, that loyalty is hard to buy in the modern game.

      2. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Really happy for him. Glad he's moved on. Always be an anfield legend

  25. Costa in Wengerland

    Which team is promoted one ?

    1. Simon69

  26. Green Arrow

    I have 3 united players, and none of them is an angel. Time to WC? 😀

  27. Coaly
    • 13 Years

    United are actually getting bullied

  28. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Di Maria - that was nice 🙂

  29. No Arsene Around
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    RVP still "fatigued"???

  30. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Jose was the guy who would have saved United.

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

      they are going to need Pulis in to save them from relegation

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      This. They should have broken the bank for him when fergie decided to retire.
      Why do teams not pay £30m for managers? Surely £30m on Jose is smarter than on Fellaini.
