Manchester United once again beckon in the new Gameweek, this time playing host to Newcastle United in a 12.45pm kick-off. The Red Devils go in search of their third successive victory, while the Magpies look to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat against Swansea last time out.

Man United recorded just six clean sheets at Old Trafford in the previous campaign but have yet to concede this season. Louis van Gaal’s charges restricted opposing teams to just one big chance over the opening two Gameweeks, underlining their disciplined start at the back.

In contrast, the Magpies have been breached on four occasions already and will have to do without suspended right-back Daryl Janmaat during their visit to Manchester. Those Fantasy managers who’ve invested in their forward line will be concerned by the fact that no side has fashioned fewer attempts inside the box (seven) than the Tynesiders.

      I thought it was pretty exciting for a 0-0.

      You had to admire the grit and determination of Coloccini and Mbemba today. They were terrific.

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

        I enjoyed it as well.

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

        Collocini, on point. and Tim Krul

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          To be fair, the whole Newcastle back line were great today, but my gosh, Coloccini as pure sex defensively today. I applauded at the end and I was just watching on my laptop.

  7. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Darmain CS (?) and a United bore draw, the perfect result for me as my mates who captained Rooney (two of them) and own Depay & Mata.

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

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

        Pellé. Can't afford Aguero.

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years

      Defo out of a lot of teams

    Hammers or Swansea more likely to win?

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Tricky. Swansea the way they are playing

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

      Swansea for sure

    3. Tabasco
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I genuinely think Sunderland are worse than Bournemouth.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        This, haha. Bournemouth should be on 4 pts at least.

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Words can not express how disappointed I am with that result... Non fpl perspective. Defence was impressive again but we need to create more opportunities. Depay's decision making is pretty horrid

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      But...but...he shoots a lot.
      And scored twice against a team twinned with Barnsley

  14. Acquafresca

  20. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Well that's the end of Rooney as a potential FF asset for a while at least

  21. Butthead
    • 12 Years

    Scholes is so, so dull.

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      One of the best midfielders of his generation though so he's allowed to be as dull as he likes.

  22. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    The perfect result.

  23. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years

  24. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    I do believe that Darmian clean sheet is my first of the season. Worth the wildcard alone! 😀

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

      LOL. Same for me with Shaw.

  25. Randy_Marsh

  26. Somalion
    • 16 Years

  28. Fanta sea

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      1. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        For a 5 mil goalkeeper that's pretty amazing.
