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 know its all anti rooney at the moment, but anyone up for sharing their thoughts on my team?

    Rutland

    Ivanovic, Cedric, Huth, Francis, Coates

    Hazard, Chadli, Payet, Mahrez, Ibe

    Sergio, Pelle, Wilson

    1.7 in the bank, I would be willing to go -4 for 2 transfers.

    Should I do transfers now? before prices rise and fall, should I leave it until after the games are done? and who should I bring in/take out?!??!?!

    thanks in advance

    Warned people on here about Rooney weeks ago but kept hearing he was a proven fantasy player and that my comments were wrong.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Ok.

      1. JamieLfc

      thanks, mate. thank you so much. don't know what we'd do without you.

      Great story

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

      He scored a legitmate goal today. I do not understand this madness. Rooney always returns and should now be on one goal and probably 3-2 bonus points. Ridiculous views on the guy.

  10. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Michael Owen: "I can't remember Tim Krul making a save this afternoon."

    Krul made EIGHT saves at Old Trafford.

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

      He said that early in the 2nd half when he made a couple of nothing saves from nothing shots

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

        Well United had that Mata shot saved at the near post. Krul also saved from depay a few times. He also said united should try more short corners to mix it up and their last corner was a short corner. Funny guy at times. Personally I just think he has a list of things to say before the match starts so whenever he needs to say something he just reverts to his list.

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

      What game was he watching? Krul Man of the match for me

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Fair play to him. I hate commentators going 'unbelievable save' when the striker kicks the ball at him. He meant proper saves, not saves a 2 year old would make.

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      owen has been demoted to the broom cupboard, you cant see much of the game from there

  11. Venom Snake

    The one player who I don't own and is actually worrying me this week...

      Do Sunderland have a makeshift defence. I heard of some injuries if so. that's literally salt on open wounds. Lol

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Oshea came in which helps

    3. #WinterIsNotComing

      same here, used WC and kept depay over ayew

    4. minime
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Same for me but since I have Gomis I hope Ayew is only doing the assists 😉

    5. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years

      A haul of assists to Gomis - would love it 😛

    Great fantasy result.

  13. Robareid
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Well that Mata captaincy didn't exactly pay off. Still, at least it was better than Rooney.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years

      United's best player.....only player in fact.

      1. Fanta sea

    I just not 'on the ball' enough in this game. Especially when it come to player price changes. So this week I did Rooney and Sterling out, Gomis and Silva in. But lost 0.4 Mill on it for doing it 4 days too late.

    Great info on the chips as well as the usual overall stats. I'd say the top 10k are irrelevant for the first month or so, but the random sample is quite interesting.
