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.

    Ville Ronke played Snod and benched Capoue. Right decision?

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He knows sh*t.

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't matter. 2 points each.

    3. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I was tempted to bench Capoue also, for Barkley.

  5. Worzel Gummidge

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

    Herrera and Pogba in a midfield two? Mourinho has lost the plot.

    Man UTD 0 - 3 Leicester

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      Get consistency and you'll have green arrows

  10. @Team Shark FC
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Planning to do:

    PVA to Holebas
    Benteke to Rashford
    Cazorla to Sanchez

    Thoughts?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 1 month ago

      wait until after the matches are done

      Holebas is injured last I checked

      1. @Team Shark FC
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well do it now

  11. MGD

  15. Team Cruel

    Inb4 posts about Pogba 5 games, 12 haircuts, no goals, no assists

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      His haircuts are increasing at an exponential rate

  16. Jafooli

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

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      what names?

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Jafooli
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Will be carnage wen someone scores....

    3. KOLASINA(C)

      Stupid club

      1. Paul Huckin

        Something wrong with doing it for the kids?

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

      the mascots would be better than half this team anyway

  17. Ziro

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

  18. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    There's no Ibra, there is Ruoqaya

  19. Fred54
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I own both 🙂

      1. Fred54
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rouyaya brace today then

  21. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Zlatan. This going to be scary

  22. SW6
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  23. Epic Fail

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

    1. John t penguin

      Isn't it a bit of a waste of money

      1. John t penguin
        10 years, 1 month 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

  25. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      1. Mull

        I did. Can't hang it up anymore because the two ends are stuck together 🙁
