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.

  2. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Ville Ronke played Snod and benched Capoue. Right decision?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He knows sh*t.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Doesn't matter. 2 points each.

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      No way I would have done that.
      He is much better than me though...

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I was tempted to bench Capoue also, for Barkley.

  5. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Concede Man U please. Can't be doing with Valencia points on the bench next to Capoues inevitable 1 shot 1 goal points.

      He lost the plot last year. ManU's mistake was thinking that was an anomaly.

  10. @Team Shark FC
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Planning to do:

    PVA to Holebas
    Benteke to Rashford
    Cazorla to Sanchez

    Thoughts?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      wait until after the matches are done

      Holebas is injured last I checked

      1. @Team Shark FC
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        yes will plan to do it after the matches. it will take -8 for it. Do u think is worth it?

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          not sure to be honest

          want to see Arsenal first... Ozil may match Sanchez for points from now until March if both healthy... Sanchez turns it up a notch in April it feels like to me

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Might as well do it now

  11. MGD

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      His haircuts are increasing at an exponential rate

  16. Jafooli

    Will Utd players be playing with those names on their shirts 😮

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      what names?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Names of the mascots I think, all a bit odd.....

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Will be carnage wen someone scores....

    3. KOLASINA(C)

        Something wrong with doing it for the kids?

    5. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      the mascots would be better than half this team anyway

    Now to load the Scoutcast to watch at half-time.

  18. KOLASINA(C)

    There's no Ibra, there is Ruoqaya

  19. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    15.5% own Zlatan & Aguero, 76.3% own one of them.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I own both 🙂

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Same. Will keep with Ibra, Lukaku and Aguero line up for this GW and next and then re think it as I have no heavy hitter in midfield.

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I was even thinking of getting Rashford for Rondon this week and going double United v Stoke
          Then downgrading Zlat the week after and spending the money on KDB/Sanchez type mid

  20. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Rouyaya brace today then

  21. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Sold Zlatan. This going to be scary

  22. SW6
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My rank is so low that I'm not sure I can get a red arrow with my team. It's quite reassuring 😆

    One of the girls smelled the shirt when it was handed to her...

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Irony is they were mostly from Far East so most of their cousins made the shirts for 50p a day so not cost too much
