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.

    Shaw is terrific...

    Roo looks better. Don't think I could manage him and Kun up top though.

          Much like the other big teams. You'd play a Chelsea/Arsenal/City defender in a number of those games I imagine? If United have sorted out the defensive aspect, they should be strong enough to keeps some of them at bay as well. 🙂

      yeah we know.

      I presume everyone got Sagna as the nailed on City defender in the wildcards...

    United looks really strong and composed defensively.

    Video ref for offsides has been coming for chuffing ages. Why does every other sport have video ref! Rooney should have his goal and owners with patience should have there reward. Ridiculous.

    1. Sz21

      wouldnt really work..

        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for elaborating on that response. Why wouldn't it. We need to help refs as much as we can in dead ball situations. They get torn apart with criticism and yet we make their job impossible by watching multiple angles of what the decision should have been and only allow them to us their eyes.

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I think he was JUST offside
