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

    So I can understand that lvg love to play with 3 at the back and those wbacks
    But you have to be an idiot to play it with those players
    Just change the faking formation

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years

      It would mean 1 bad player less

    2. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      System's so dodgy with crap players in it atm. Terrifying to watch.

      No proper plan b.
      How many goals from open play in world cup knock out stages for Holland this year...?

      Looking forward to him doing a lap of honour at half time

      Great timing haha

    2. Djerbil

      1. Djerbil
        • 15 Years

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Who is David Gold ? (Sorry)

        1. davies
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 21 days ago

          West Ham owner

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      What a fall from grace for Song.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        cant think of many players whose careers went to the next level when they left Arsenal.

        even RVP is cack now and Cesc was sold by Barca within 3 years.

        1. davies
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 21 days ago

          Carlos Vela?

          1. Dr. Rog
            • 17 Years
            12 years, 21 days ago

            yeah will give you that one.

        2. Green Arrow
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 21 days ago

          They all still did win more trophies after leaving Arsenal.

    1. vova
      • 16 Years

      Ashley Young?

      1. Tin of Directors
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Alex Song

      2. wslnpt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Alex Song.

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      West Ham don't do big signings, it'll be someone crap.

    3. Bucky Barnes
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Giant Haystacks?

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      So we know it's male. That narrows it down.

  5. SG8
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    delighted so far that I choose Ramsey over Rooney for captaincy

    1. Texas Pete
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      sickened that i did the same but didn't confirm. Rookie error.

    2. Chelskimagi
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Me 2

  6. DementedFlamingo
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    How is Caulker in the scout picks but 10th on the watch list? I would have assumed there was some correlation between the two???

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Watchlist is for the next 4-6 weeks.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        and Scout Picks is only for this week

        1. DementedFlamingo
          • 17 Years
          12 years, 21 days ago

          Current form C 😉

          but thanks all for clarifying

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Because he's good for this week, but you wouldn't want to buy him?

    3. andyinasia
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      All the pickers have Caulker and the same front 3 of Rooney, Aggie and Jovvy. I reckon I'll pick up more points than them this week!

    4. Kew Pee Arr
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Because some of the scout pick are utter sh£te. The insistence that caulker will rake the points in is a prime example

  7. MJ6987
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Regretting Rooney armband!

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Same here

    2. RyanC
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Curse of the early kick off!

      Still time to go though, although this isn't looking promising.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Curse of the Utd kick-off.

    3. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      90 minute match.

      1. MJ6987
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Just saying if you offered me the chance to change it now, I would.

      2. Bucky Barnes
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Ramsey didn't score till the 82nd min last weekend

    4. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      I'm not. But thats cause I dont captain in the 12:45

      1. Breadbin
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        That would have hurt you a few times last season.

        1. Sánchez
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 21 days ago

          I never played last year

    5. MBK 42
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Can only hope Burnley will tire in the 2nd half - still think United will win 2-0; ronney to get at least one.

      1. DementedFlamingo
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        At least one point 🙁

  8. Bucky Barnes
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    With a long run in the team Utd could turn Di Maria into the Argentinian Stewart Downing

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Have United won any aerial balls? Yet they insist on hoofing it up the pitch....

  10. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Song to West Ham

    Doosra will be going crazy, he loves Song

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Who do you think approved it? 😆

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        silly me 😆

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        I was wondering where he's been lately. Must've been pestering BFS to buy him.

    2. MJ6987
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Good signing that.

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      As do I, great signing.

    4. DementedFlamingo
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Excellent for hammers I was hoping he would go to Pool.

  11. Mr_Partridge
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Fans are going to have to support their local teams at this rate

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      No. Just some other successful one will do.

  12. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Can see one those lash outs by RVP that should be a red but goes unnoticed by the ref coming...

    1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      That and a Rooney YC for getting frustrated...

      1. Kew Pee Arr
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Rooney RC, just to prove he's prime England captain material.

  13. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Haven't been watching, how have United been?

    Dire seems to be an understatement?

  14. Transient Anus
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    I'm not watching. Utd still wonderfully dreadful? How's shrek playing?

    1. MBK 42
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      He's looking sharp to me, much better than RVP.

  15. No Arsene Around
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Giggs, change your gear and get on the pitch

  16. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Note to self (and others) avoid forum during games

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Leaving the note to self on a forum is counter productive then

  17. Gunner77-
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    He didn't dive? 😯

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Lol young

    1. Bob.
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Would have been impossible not to fall there as he was pushed!

    2. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      You say lol though. Ashley Young is still far less of a tool than you are

      1. Kew Pee Arr
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Wooooooh. Handbags at half time.

  19. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    😛

  20. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Anyone but Young would have got a pen there. Karma

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      The penalty of crying wolf.

  21. Wouter
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    That's a penalty imo.

    1. thedarkhorse
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Blatant push - clear penalty.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        when a player's reputation can cost him

  22. The Sarjeant
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Song at West Ham is pretty mental.

  23. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Shocking from RVP

  24. andyinasia
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    VP -awful!!!

    1. andyinasia
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      and again - no sharpness at all

  25. Ole Gunnar Kush
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    FFS Van Persie!!

  26. Theseus
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Wow that was actually a penalty!!
    Young did not dive
    Repeat: Young did not dive!!

    1. Kew Pee Arr
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Liar

  27. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Ffs sub RVP off at HT

  28. Tin of Directors
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    I'm pretty sure West Hams signing will be Alex Song

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Paulo Futre

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Take off rvp. Just awful play

    1. teemonee yall
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Completely agree..he's been wretched

  30. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Van Persie is playing very poorly. That was a simple
    Pass to let Rooney in
