Gameweek 6 begins at Old Trafford where the Wayne Rooney circus is in full swing.

The United skipper is dropped to the bench by Jose Mourinho, causing a big stir that dominates the pre-match build-up.

When the dust settles, we can see a total of four changes in the United line-up, as Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are drafted in. Antony Martial and Luke Shaw miss out through injury, while Marouane Fellaini drops to the bench.

The big news for Fantasy managers is the continued emergence of Marcus Rashford, who is surely boosted by the decision to drop Rooney.

As for Leicester City, they are unchanged as Kasper Schmeichel remains sidelined amidst reports that he is now set to be absent for three weeks with his groin injury.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Ibra non-owners got pretty lucky there.

      Yep, swapped him for Rashford 🙂

      Be careful you might be attacked by all of them 🙂

      Luck? It's clear the guy will score some goals, but he's far too expensive for an aging midfielder who assists assists.

      Much better value elsewhere, even in the same team.

      First time I checked score was 3-0 already... Imagine my surprise when I saw no Ibra involved...

      They got very lucky. It's so frustrating to have Captained him, made the absolutely correct decision seeing the scoreline, and get absolutely nothing from it (not even a Mike Dean pen). They score 4 and he gets nothing. Last week Palace score 4 and Tekkers gets nothing. Fantasy life.

        Exactly - the outcome doesn't mean you made a bad decision. He played well and could have easily come away with good points.

    Is it me or does Defoe look like a smaller Mike Tyson?

      Similar, more grooming (eyebrows) than features. Except teeth, they have the same shape teeth.

      Trollllllllll alert

      1. Shano23
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Just interesting sir

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      But you bet Bubz £100 he would be dropped immediately and we said he wouldn't be dropped immediately so you are just confirming you got it wrong. Not sure what the point is you are trying to make. Bit embarrassing really.

      1. Shano23
        10 years, 1 month ago

        incorrect sir but but it ok. Never easy to admit your wrong in life. Lets move on

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Lying to yourself. Hilarious haha

          liar

          1. Shano23
            10 years, 1 month ago

            they both said Jaku was undropable . I gave them 6 to 1 for the season and 3 to 1 for the next game. they both declined. I told them to pick Pickford they both followed. Not sure how i lied but ok. Lets move on

            1. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Lying again. Hilarious. I never said he was undroppable and Bubz said he would start next game which he did (I agreed). No one said he was undroppable. Stop lying. You do realise people can read your old comments. I have. Confirmed. You are lying. LOL. It is ok Sir. It is ok being wrong. Keep this up and I will simply post them!!!

                Specsavers son. Specsavers

    3. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I said he'd end up being dropped. Just not straight away. So I'm right again. Get on my level son.

    Once you hear "hamstring injury" as "hamstering injury", with all the attendant imagery, you can never go back.

  8. stachman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sigh... Baines... At least I won't have a problem with PVA scoring now...

  9. LewanGOALski
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Just came back home

    No Lovren? Why?
    No Baines? Why?

    May end up with 10 players if Holebas doesn't play. 'Great' result for a WC team 😐

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lovren - illness
      Baines - hammy in warmup

    Premium defence of Shaw-Valencia-Baines off to a good start

  11. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    TOP 5 GW6 CAPTAINS

    1) Ibrahimovic 29.3%
    2) Aguero 18.4%
    3) De Bruyne 6.7%
    4) Lukaku 4.3%
    5) Costa 4.2%

      Shows how many United fans play FPL.

        Shows how many people don't have kun

  12. Danstoke82
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sh*t no Baines or Lovren.

    Over to 1st and 2nd subs Snoddy and Amat then

  13. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines, Grabban > Amat, Rashford (-4) ?

    Already have Zlatan, and an overpowered defence. Will probably downgrade Zlatan after Stoke if he doesn't look great.

    1. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That would give me (next GW):
      Foster (sun)
      McAuley (sun) - Bellerin (bur) - Valencia (STK)
      Ozil (bur) - Bolasie (CRY) - Antonio (MID) - Pereyra (BOU)
      Aguero (tot) - Ibra (STK) - Rashford (STK)

    Hi there, Is anyone else having trouble viewing man city players on the my team or points page on the fpl site while using chrome? It's really weird, just the name is displayed no shirt.

    1. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've had that before on Firefox.

  16. The Rock
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford looks to be rising tonight. Might need to make my transfer early this week!

    Gray > Rashford

  17. Daniyal
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard + Ibrahimovic + Fletcher --->
    Sanchez + Rashford + Firminio (-8)

    1. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd wait. -8 is a big points hit. And look at Haz and Ibra's next two.

      1. Daniyal
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But price drops $$$

  18. bojack
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pondering replacing Shaw before he dips to 5.4, which is annoying because Friend looks like going to 4.4 as well.

    Who would people recommend around the 5.0 mark?

  19. cruzex

    next monday all the people will want to buy ighalo.

    Remember this.
