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.

    United certainly looks a different beast today ... Leicester back to their last to last year performance

      Sloppy defending for all 3 goals. No idea what has happened to LEI defence.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think the last 2 loses were big wake up calls

  2. mattk lfc

    Blind essential

  3. Thomas Magnum
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Did the commentator just say "this could become embarrassing?"

  4. Les Bleus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How much is Blind? 😉

    1. Fowler23
      10 years, 1 month ago

      5.5
      Easily in my team if he's nailed

      1. Slippy
        10 years, 1 month ago

        he's not nailed. that's the problem.

    United have been wow.
    As a non united owner glad that Ibra is missing the party.

  6. Grand Thibauto

    Gray out Rashford in. The fastest transfer I did this season.

    1. Belsunz

  8. thunder_mike

    Will be bringing in Mata or Rashford next week

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford

  9. Ziro
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Overall Average probably 35 points already

    1. Simon69
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How?

    2. Mull
      10 years, 1 month ago

      When did everyone get Mata?

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

      Haha brilliant

    4. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't be silly. The players who have scored are low ownership so far

    5. Boydinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, everyone have Blind and Mata

    6. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mata (tc) ??

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hahaha

  10. Simon69
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Blind would be a great pick if nailed. Pity.

  11. Camp No No
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Most owned of ManU players:

    Zlatan 58%
    De Gea 44%
    Shaw 21%
    Bailly 14%
    Valencia 13%
    Pogba 10%

    Ownership of players on points so far tonight:

    Rashford 5.3%
    Blind 3.4%
    Mata 1.7%
    Smalling 1.2%
    Lindgard 0.4%

    😆

    1. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And then Pogba scores while I'm posting this, ffs....

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba scored. I swapped him for Firmino for a -4 but still right call IMO.

      1. Boydinho
        10 years, 1 month ago

        100% prehand

    3. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Still, his ownership is the lowest of the 5 most owned ManU played. It's not hurtingly high. One goal for Leicester and this will look just ok for managers without ManU players.

    Benteke to Rashford looking like it could be a good move

    1. TheBabyfacedAssassin
      10 years, 1 month ago

      +1. Fixtures though?

    2. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm seeing how tekkers does today as to whether to action - even if it's to jump on the price rise

    3. mikess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My initial gut transfer

  13. *sigh*
    10 years, 1 month ago

    11.7 Ibra or 6.8 Rashford? Decisions decisions

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would have to be a quick one as both will change rapidly imo

  14. Danstoke82
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Even though he has us up next if Ibra blanks today I cant see how I can keep him?

  15. GENERATION X
    10 years, 1 month ago

  16. VS10_

  17. Leaf

    4 goals and nothing not even an assist for Zlat

    This is a hard game these days 🙁

    1. micsway
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he'll get one

      1. popcoin
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He won't

  18. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The difference it makes when you have someone not ROONEY opening the corners.

  19. AnotherBareBum
    10 years, 1 month ago

    has Pogba in his team for 3 weeks. Take him out and bang. United fans can thank me

    1. momomaimai
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you very much.

  20. Karan_G14
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford or Deeney?

    Rashford means double up united.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe wait till both have played?

    2. Simon69
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Seems extremely obvious.

  21. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rooney could become a ventriloquist, it was brilliant the way he said "Oh bollox, that's me fecked" while grinning like a Cheshire cat 😀

    1. George Sillett
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And Rashford muttering "told him that fat pig was s**t"

  22. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra -> Rashford is looking very tasty

  23. micsway
    10 years, 1 month ago

    dam mata is cheap, only 7.4m

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If only he was nailed..

  24. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester's defending is comically bad.

  25. Clifford☯
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke to Rashford looking tempting !

  26. southernpacific
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra won't score.

  27. A Team Of James McCleans
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Yes, of course I just sold pogba

    1. George Sillett
      10 years, 1 month ago

      These types of post are just so pointless.

      1. klopp4kop
        10 years, 1 month ago

        exactly!

        1. George Sillett
          10 years, 1 month ago

          At least you got the joke ! ( I don't think he did).

            10 years, 1 month ago

            i like the show
            pointless celebrities
            -like it says on the tin

  28. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Blind if nailed would be a good pick.

    United defence a good pick with Smalling

    Rashford and Ibra are better picks with no Rooney

    United play much better without Rooney, he slows things down

    4 things I learnt so far

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

      Fester have been awful for 25 mins mind

  29. popcoin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Finally a referee wises up to Vardy's signature foul drawing technique
