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.

    Romero not. Worth transfer in IMO, anyone agree?

    1. TheSteel

      I would. Have to agree

    3. Forza

      If DDG leaves there might be a replacement. Romero could be good value but a risk until the window closes.

    Just a reminder of what the bookies told us about this game: a low scoring affair, 1-0 United. Tight with not alot of chances

      I think I'd take an assist.

      Right now you're looking at a lot of misplaced passes. He's been bad so far.

    3. Ludo

      Definitely.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Will take any points once Benteke scores more than him

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

      1 goal max

  9. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Opinions welcomed as long as they agree with mine.

      Before Walcott drops tonight I m using my 2 FT to upgrade to Sanchez and drop Benteke to Sakho. I think thus makes sense but other opinions would be taken into consideration.

      Tekkers plays Ars next and Sakho BOU so makes sense to me. This way I get Walcotts potential for 1 game, miss his drop.

      Cheers

        What potential? 😉

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 8 months ago

            sorry, 'potential' 🙂

          I like it.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Just can't be doing with the Walcott headache every week. Sanchez is a better option and Sakho looks good, whereas Tekkers looks like a misfit in that team. I know it is 1 game but I am using some sound logic :).

              If it backfires so be it. I am a man. Will only cry for an hour!!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I think Depay will be subbed at half time..

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years

            That long?

        4. Ludo
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Villa a lot more patient in their build up play so far this season. Big adjustment for them to go from hitting Benteke as early as possible.

          1. Gunners n' Roses
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

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

              Just an observation.

          2. Shmadz - Le Saux Solid Crew
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Or, as a team they are going to perform better having been freed of the shackles of the one-dimensional system that was the Benteke Villa.

        5. Soidisant
          • 14 Years

          I hate these early value changes. I wish prices were locked in place for like the first 2-3 weeks like some of the other fantasy sports I've been involved in.

          Depay is called Mephis because his father abandoned the family and he does not want to be associated with his father.

            A but its a close one. Would A leave you with no city cover?

              No city cover if I ditch Sterling.

                I'd be inclined to go with B then.

          Cech
          Cedric, Williams, Azpil
          Walcott, Hendo, Tadic, Hazard
          Sakho, Kane (c), Rooney

          Hennessey, Bentalab, Huth, Francis

          2ft's, 0.0m in account..
          Is there any switch I should almost certainly be doing right away?

          Want to give Wally a chance..
