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
      11 years, 7 months ago

      It would mean 1 bad player less

    2. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months 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

    1. Wouter

      Great timing haha

    2. Djerbil

      1. Djerbil

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years

        Who is David Gold ? (Sorry)

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

          West Ham owner

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

      What a fall from grace for Song.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months 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
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Carlos Vela?

          1. Dr. Rog
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            yeah will give you that one.

        2. Green Arrow
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          They all still did win more trophies after leaving Arsenal.

    1. vova
      • 15 Years

      Ashley Young?

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

        Alex Song

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

        Alex Song.

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

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

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

      Giant Haystacks?

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

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

  5. SG8
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    delighted so far that I choose Ramsey over Rooney for captaincy

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

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

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

      Me 2

  6. DementedFlamingo
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months 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
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Watchlist is for the next 4-6 weeks.

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

        and Scout Picks is only for this week

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

          Current form C 😉

          but thanks all for clarifying

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

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

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

    Regretting Rooney armband!

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Same here

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

      Curse of the early kick off!

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

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Curse of the Utd kick-off.

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

      90 minute match.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        That would have hurt you a few times last season.

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

          I never played last year

    5. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months 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
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        At least one point 🙁

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

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

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

    Song to West Ham

    Doosra will be going crazy, he loves Song

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

      Who do you think approved it? 😆

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

        silly me 😆

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

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

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

      Good signing that.

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

      As do I, great signing.

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

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

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

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

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

      No. Just some other successful one will do.

  12. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months 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
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      That and a Rooney YC for getting frustrated...

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

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

  13. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Haven't been watching, how have United been?

    Dire seems to be an understatement?

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

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

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

    Giggs, change your gear and get on the pitch

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

    Note to self (and others) avoid forum during games

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

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

  17. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    He didn't dive? 😯

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Lol young

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

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

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        Wooooooh. Handbags at half time.

  19. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    😛

  20. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone but Young would have got a pen there. Karma

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      The penalty of crying wolf.

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

    That's a penalty imo.

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

      Blatant push - clear penalty.

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

        when a player's reputation can cost him

  22. The Sarjeant
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Song at West Ham is pretty mental.

  23. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Shocking from RVP

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

    VP -awful!!!

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

      and again - no sharpness at all

  25. Ole Gunnar Kush
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    FFS Van Persie!!

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

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

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

      Liar

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ffs sub RVP off at HT

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

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

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

      Paulo Futre

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Take off rvp. Just awful play

    1. teemonee yall
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Completely agree..he's been wretched

  30. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

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