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

      Amavi wont be at villa next season

    • Zoostation

      10 years, 8 months ago

      Jus pulled the trigger on Walcott and Rooney to Cabaye and Aguero.

      No hit, right call? Or rash?

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Walcott brace incoming...

        Lol

      3. PSEBJ27

        The second part is okay

      4. Captain Shirokov

        lol

      5. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Should have waited until the gameweek is over. What if both Cabaye and Aguero get injured?

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

          Then I wildcard.

          Guess it's a risk but Rooney was always coming out for Aguero.

          Don't see the point in waiting, Aguero seems good for points next week.

          And I can't stand Walcott not being nailed, headache each week. And he's dropping in price.

      Lol @ Rooney captainers

        Shame on you, Rooney is doing a good enough job on us, we don't need you chipping in too

      2. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Don't you support United?

    • Zombie

      Rooney still to make a single touch within the box in this match 😆 😆

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I dont think he has touched the ball in Villas half

    • Richd
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney or Benteke was a tough choice for captain. I'd take a Rooney assist still and watch Tekkers light it up on Monday.

      He was always the plan this week, glad I held...

      Jinx??

      Would have changed my captain from rooney to pelle had i known the deadline was 6:45. Anyone else?

    • Big Jari Litmanen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Is Rooney unfit or just done as a forward?

    • Ady87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I left it on Rooney by mistake

    • Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Darmian bossing the BPS again...

    • Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney needs time and multiple chances to get his eye in each game and LVG's Utd simply don't allow that to happen, especially when he's playing lone striker.

      It kills me to say it but I'm going to have no issues getting rid of him come GW4.

      Also, Mike Dean seems to have been threatened with death if he books Darmian. Utterly ridiculous amount of bad challenges and professional fouls. Not even a warning yet|!?! Madness.

        He's Italian, master of the dark arts of defending.

    • Raddy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Villa deserve a point from this.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years

      Rooney

      150 minutes

      1 touch in the box

      And he knew nothing about that

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

        Pray for a pen so he can get one more touch

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Is he on pens?

            • 15 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Must be if lvg thinks he is getting 20 goals

    • Salah’s Sonnet

        Aguero in for me

    • Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      So glad I saved the 2.5 for Aguero. Get the hell outta of my time Rooney.

    • The Machine
      • 12 Years

      Well at least i have 2 freebies now. Rooney and wally out at this rate

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I havent been on here, so no doubt im just reiterating whats been said already, but my god Rooney has been f*cking terrible. So bad.

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

        Really? Consensus here is that he's been great.

      Utd were far more entertaining under Moyes.....

    • FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years

      What is Mané captain % this GW?

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        must be low Captain stats Rooney, 24.5% Benteke, 16.8% Hazard, 11.7% Kane, 8.2% Aguero, 4.7% Costa, 3.5%

    • Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Darmian rewarding his ~100k new owners with 9 points is just a little bit sickening...

      1. C-Dawgg
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        He certainly looks to be the pick of the United team right now... This is dire.
