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

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

      • Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think the last 2 loses were big wake up calls

    2. mattk lfc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Blind essential

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How much is Blind? 😉

      1. Fowler23
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        5.5
        Easily in my team if he's nailed

        1. Slippy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

    5. Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

    6. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

    7. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Last week Benteke this week Ibra. 4 goals and no points!

      1. Belsunz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Same here

      2. Daniyal
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        both of them and Ozil last week aswell (O.O)

        sigh!!!

    8. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years

      Will be bringing in Mata or Rashford next week

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Rashford

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

      Overall Average probably 35 points already

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        How?

      2. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        When did everyone get Mata?

      3. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Haha brilliant

      4. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

        Yes, everyone have Blind and Mata

      6. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Mata (tc) ??

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Hahaha

    10. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Blind would be a great pick if nailed. Pity.

    11. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

      2. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. Boydinho
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            100% prehand

        • Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months 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.

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Benteke to Rashford looking like it could be a good move

        1. TheBabyfacedAssassin
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          +1. Fixtures though?

        2. thepeen555
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months 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
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          My initial gut transfer

      4. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        11.7 Ibra or 6.8 Rashford? Decisions decisions

        1. thepeen555
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

      5. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

      8. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        4 goals and nothing not even an assist for Zlat

        This is a hard game these days 🙁

        1. micsway
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          he'll get one

          1. popcoin
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            He won't

      9. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

      10. AnotherBareBum
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. momomaimai
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thank you very much.

      11. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Rashford or Deeney?

        Rashford means double up united.

        Appreciate your thoughts!

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe wait till both have played?

        2. Simon69
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Seems extremely obvious.

      12. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months 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
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

      13. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ibra -> Rashford is looking very tasty

      14. micsway
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        dam mata is cheap, only 7.4m

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          If only he was nailed..

      15. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Leicester's defending is comically bad.

      16. Clifford☯
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Benteke to Rashford looking tempting !

      17. southernpacific
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ibra won't score.

      18. A Team Of James McCleans

        Yes, of course I just sold pogba

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          These types of post are just so pointless.

          1. klopp4kop
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            exactly!

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

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

                9 years, 5 months ago

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

      19. Jamie_GAWA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Fester have been awful for 25 mins mind

      20. popcoin
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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