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.

      Are you watching the same game?

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

        Yes.

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

          He doesn't look awful to me. Far from it.

    4. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yes shoots and crosses with the worst technique ever. He scuffsit every time

  3. Ludo

    10 years, 8 months ago

    If you were going to construct the perfect FPL midfielder, you would come up with something very close to Memphis Depay.

    A goalscorer who shoots on sight, but also takes free kicks and corners.

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A goalscorer?

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

        Wait and see. He's very wasteful, but he'll also improve, and he has so many attempts, it's bound to translate into goals.

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          If he sorts his shooting g out, he could be a great option, gonna wait till he actually starts getting returns before considering him though

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not if the shoots are straight to the gk

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    4. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      But it's all about the playmakers in this current FPL...

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

        I don't agree, at all!

    5. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I would construct one that could hit a cow's backside with a banjo.

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Hahaha cracked me up

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

        Hilarious

    6. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hard to justify bringing him in (for me). Happy with my midfield, barring possibly Silva in for Hazard. Plus, fixtures aren't great.

      I'd love to fit him in, but it's inconvenient right now.

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

        That's fair enough.

  4. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Memphis good or rubbish?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Owner or non-owner?

      1. Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Non owner, can't make my mind uo about him

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Wait for the stats.

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

      Good. Very good. Raw will settle though.

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

        Once he gets a couple of goals he'll fly.

    3. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's good just needs that extra bit to his finishing that will come though

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

    Starting to see why Januzaj was praised so much as a CAM for the U21s.

  6. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mitrovic looks deadly

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Indeed, have goals in him

    2. Adderz
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Shame he produces more cards than Clinton's

  7. edfiasco
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Good lord this is uncomfortable, No Man U cover and Rival has 3 including Depay (C). WIll set me up nicely if they blank though...

  8. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mitrovic....looks aerially potent

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

      That was an unreal header.

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Memphis is going to relentlessly terrify non owners

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      And torture owners.

    2. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He will relentless terrify owners to if he keeps missing chances.

    3. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      More worried about Mata to be honest, at least he can finish

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

        You'll see.

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          When he starts getting goals I'll buy him then, no point in waiting with him in my team

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

            You'll need to buy him straight after this game then 😉

  10. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Depay is sensational..
    Doing untold damage.

    With some more direction he will be a top top player for sure.
    Really happy I got him in anyway.

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

      Well done you. 🙂

  11. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Darmian seems to be constantly in space but Mata never passess to him

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

      Can't blame Mata, he was never a winger.

  12. Comment removed. Please refer to our terms and conditions on posting comments.

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

      He is their best no 10 who is not allowed to play at no 10.

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

        Yeah but he shouldnt be playing if he's played on the right wing

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

          Yep, they should get some winger or even play Valencia.

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

      I agree 100%.

      Loses possession far too often, but then he shouldn't be playing on the wing.

    3. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He needs to be CAM. It's simple. Dunno what LVG's major malfunction is.

    4. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He isnt a winger.

      If Utd want a winger...buy one.

    5. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely baffling how Januzaj gets to play at #10 before him

  13. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Wow Schweiny dead already.

  14. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Really poor composure from Memphis there.

  15. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    United and Depay in particular look very good. Memphis absolutely shredding Mbemba. 😀

    Just need him to score now...Kun single assist please.

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's playing WB and he's not a WB. Get a grib. Depay has looked wasteful if anything.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        😆

        Alright. Just my opinion then. 🙂

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

      Agree. Linking up well with Shaw too. Don't mind the haters.

  16. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Schwein looks dead

  17. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Schweinsteiger injured already.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

      Your stream is better than mine ... 🙁

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        My stream isn't a stream

        1. Venom Snake

          Live in HD 😎

    2. Make United Great Again

      Impact injury. He's fine mate

  18. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    scwein injury

  19. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Newcastle have grown into this.

    A bit light in midfield just.

  20. Thick Of It
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Roonpig is getting frustrated with Memphis' inability to pass to him, at this rate all his hair will...never mind.

  21. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Newcastle midfield is terrible

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

      They have Aarons, de Jong and Tiote and the new winger on the bench, baffling!

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

        De Jong and tiote are coming back from injury. Aarons is a winger so wouldn't help. Anita is being forced to play right back due to janmaats suspension. No wonder we are light in midfield.

  22. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mbembaomg 😆

    • 12 Years

      It's the end of the world as we know it

  23. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mbemba destroyed roon

  24. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Memphis has the build of a CF

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years

      Not yet

    2. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      bit like the Ox

  25. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Mbemba muscling Rooney out of the way. He's a good signing for Newcastle.

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      At CB I reckon he will be good
