Another unremarkable day for Fantasy managers does have least come to a crescendo. Manchester United’s head-to-head with Liverpool at Old Trafford has the history and rivalry to provide a rip-roaring finale to a rather flat day of returns.

Both sides come into this encounter with wounds to heal. United will be seeking to bounce back following their 2-1 defeat to Swansea, while Liverpool suffered a crushing 3-0 home loss to the Hammers in Gameweek 4.

The Red Devils are unbeaten at home but will be disappointed they couldn’t secure all three points against Newcastle in their home clash. That match was symptomatic of their lacklustre attack this term, given that they rank fifth-bottom with regards to shot conversion rate (6.1%). On the plus side, Louis van Gaal’s charges are positioned third-bottom for shots inside the box conceded (21) and big chances conceded (two), which explains how they’ve chalked up three shut-outs already.

Before their loss to the Irons, Liverpool were yet to concede and held Arsenal to a 0-0 stalemate at the Emirates, so it’s difficult to predict how they’ll fare at Old Trafford. The Merseysiders will certainly want to improve their output in the final third, considering they rank joint-bottom for goals scored by virtue of a pitiful 3.7% conversation rate.

    This has been an awful fantasy week so far

      Like the previous 4.

        I can only imagine how easy the la liga fantasy football league would be. All you'd need is 6 players from barca and real and just fill in the rest with cheap players.

        In our league, i have no clue who'd win the game.

          tbf Im having a hard time deciding between city players, so cant imagine choosing 3 from MSN, Iniesta and the barca defence which would rake in the clean sheets. Also how would you afford that along with Ronaldo and 2 other Madrid players? you'd have to have 4.0s or whatever their equivalent is starting

          1. Fanta sea
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            having those 4 mil players would be worth it if you have messi, suarez, ronaldo, bale, neymar

            1. raff97
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              How many attackers do you think youre allowed

              1. Fanta sea
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                I was thinking ronaldo and bale will be midfielders kind of like how hazard is a midfielder

    I think after 90 minutes of goalless draw, United and Pool fans are gonna give each other pity hugs and go home

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Any kind of hug is 10 times better than that first 45 mins.
