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

    Douglas Costa gonna be some player, is some player

    1. FrancescoLazio
      • 10 Years

      Who?

    I'm really going to be playing catch up already in my ML with my faith in United 🙁

    Problem is, do I ditch Mata, since he's the one decent looking option in the team for Payet next week, or hold since he has delivered for me?

  3. Paganoi
    • 11 Years

    :O Memphis?

  4. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years

    Mata's passing tho 😯

    Which price site has looked the most reliable so far? I need to severe Memphis from my team as ASAP as possible as possible

  6. Crouching Tiger

    Depay FFS

  7. Sif
    • 13 Years

    Makes picking Walcott over him look like genius.

    I really need this cleansheet gone.

  9. Davido989

    Depay and Rooney have been awful. Darmian solid, Blind very good. That Geueye fella has been good too.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney makes a poor captain too, IMO. Should be Smalling.

    2. il Brutto

      Westwood is brilliant.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        As always. Worst performances are a 7/10. Consistent 8.

    3. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      That little Gueye fella?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yep. I probably spelt his name wrong 😛

    Herrera with his "birthday card". Commentator had that ready for days.

    The only moments of brief happiness i have enjoyed in GW1 and GW2 so far have been Depay and Sterling running in on goal.

  12. passdpuck
    • 10 Years

    SOOOOO... Who should I downgrade depay to, to upgrade rooney to aguero? I have 0.5 ITB...

  13. sozopol
    • 14 Years

    Mata is the attacking United player to have, if any

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

      if any the key part of that sentence

      1. Tabasco

        Brutal

  14. Sverdet

    Where can I see the % of captains this GW? anyone

  15. Obi Wan Elokobi

    I like this Friday night football. The EDL should make fools of themselves more often marching through places.

    Can I LOL at Rooney owners yet?

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

      I'm one. Knock yourself out.

    2. FrancescoLazio
      • 10 Years

      Owner is fine. Newacastle at home then gone

      Captain not so good

  17. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Depays stats are going to be amazing.

  18. Richd

    Benteke on a Monday is going to be the moment of the season chaps.

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

      What about gw23?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Think of the scenes here when U.S. Bertrand tadic and Pelle owners watched a 8-0 win hours after a Aguero captain 4 goaler.

        This will be better.

  19. coran2123

    Rooney complains about wanting to play in his preferred position, proceeds to play RW

  20. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Might consider getting Mata in- his passes are looking beautiful

  21. Wouter
    • 11 Years

    I'm WC'ing tonight 😆

    1. Wrizard
      • 10 Years

  22. PSEBJ27

    Rooney YC? Hahahaha

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

      Nope

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

        I was hoping he'd argue his way into one

  23. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Shaw nailed on?

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      think so.

  24. FrancescoLazio
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    United same as last season. Lucky 1-0 wins.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Very boring fotball

    If either Hazard or Fabregas blanks against Man City who would get rid of first if you had those two as well as Rooney

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    I am liking Mata tonight.

    From what I eve seen on other sites Walcott may drop in value tonight (can that happen at the beginning of a game week before he has played?)

    is mata a viable?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, people were worried originally about how nailed he would be but he is clearly United's most consistent player at the mo and has creativity

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

      I love Mata. Just wish he played for a better team

  27. Leaf

    Going to be another relegation battle for Villa I think

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Lol. No way

  28. Yome
    • 14 Years

    So glad I own Romero

  29. PSEBJ27

    Woeful from Shaw
