Gameweek 2 gets us up and running earlier than usual tonight, as Villa welcome United to the midlands.

Both sides opened their seasons with 1-0 wins and Tim Sherwood will be seeking home improvements, having managed just one home clean sheet at Villa Park since taking the helm. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, looks to improve upon a record that saw him score just once outside of Old Trafford in 2014/15.

United roll up to Villa Park for their first away game of the season having struck just 21 goals in their 19 road trips under Louis van Gaal last term, registering a shot on goal every 8 minutes. They’ll be up against a Villa rearguard that kept just four clean sheets in front of their own fans last term, shipping 25 goals – only Crystal Palace kept fewer shutouts than the midlanders.

Having failed to ignite against Spurs, Van Gaal will look to his attacking players to perform tonight, providing a test to Sherwood’s rearguard following their opening day success at Bournemouth.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  5. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Good question

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Struggling to tell, he's never in CF position, seems to be all over the place.

    2. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Centre back

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No.9

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Centre mid striker to the left with right wing roaming

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Think you've got it haha

    5. Jas aka The age of Ozil is …
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney thinks he is a created player on fifa

  6. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mane, Cazorla, Ramsey or Yaya ? Your pick of these ?

    I have Özil and Silva....considering Mane. Great fixtures and playing up top...

    Thanks.

    Herrera to make this game interesting please

  8. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Why don't United get a quick striker or even play Wilson. They are just so lethargic and seem to just somehow grind results although it is very dull.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Think they are trying - Muller or Kane - but both fairly unobtainable. Even Berahino would do better that this

  9. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    LVG killing United with that brand of football. He makes Chelsea's look sexy.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's clueless.

    2. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Was a bad fit from the start

      Dinosaur

  10. Puzzle

    Ayew needs to be subbed

  11. Jas aka The age of Ozil is …
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Now way Villa doesnt score here

    1. Jas aka The age of Ozil is …
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      No*

  12. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Wishing for a Villa goal to avoid Utd back to back clean sheets. So many casual players with Shaw and Darmian!

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Lots of FFS with them too

    2. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      What a difference Morgan Schneiderlein and a fit Michael Carrick make to the defensive side of things both criminally underrated in footballing terms how Carrick misses out on England squads over the likes of Henderson and more so Delph is beyond me

    3. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      You are obv trolling, your link says you have Darmian?? 🙂

      • 15 Years

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

    4. Numb
      • 11 Years

      Westwood looks good though

    5. Legendary!
      • 14 Years

    Silva
    Aguero
    Sanchez
    Payet
    Alderweireld
    Azpili

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  19. sozopol
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone choosing Albrighton over Mahrez?

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Needed the extra .5 for Aguero.

  20. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Great play by Sinclair.

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      'happy owner' 😉

    2. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I think he"ll get bonus points for that.

  21. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Villa by far the better team

    1. Jas aka The age of Ozil is …
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Should be winning by 2 goals

    2. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Perhaps a little far, but yes they are looking decent this second half.

  22. Goaldigger
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Tbf Rooney is getting zero service. At least his work rate is good. Not giving up yet.

  23. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Rooney at 30% on the captain poll!

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I warned you all...

    2. JedJez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hopefully he won't get rage transferred out

  24. Yome
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Glad I got Romero in my WC, a steal at this price

  25. Moss
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    If only Amavi was 4.5m...

  26. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Darmian should be in the book by now

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Darmian should be booked

  28. turboLuck
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Rooney. Just 1 goal plzzz.

    Guys is Tadic nailed on?
    I want to swap Walcott out for a 7m mid and thinking of Tadic.

  29. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I hope Villa score here.

    United really are such a poor footballing side under LVG.

    Blind shitting himself under the slightest pressure.

    Get Gestede on to rough him up.

    1. turboLuck
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't mind Villa getting 1 in either.

    2. PSEBJ27
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I want Darmain to come off with the CS, bring on Gestede and let him destroy Blind

  30. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    No yellow dor Darmian
