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.

    May have to take a hit following my wildcard. Just to knee jerk rashford in

  4. SirStevieG

    If I wasn't watching this game and saw the scoreline and I was a non-Ibra owner I would be s***ting bricks

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 9 months ago

      We get it. You own Ibra.

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

      I don't get it, cause surely if u have ibra that must mean ur team lacks elsewhere

      Whereas other would have like 2 other quality mids who could still do better than he would in 1 match

  5. Cojiro
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who'd have thought dropping Rooney and Fellaini would have worked? Hmmm...

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Haha this

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      everyone was saying it..

    3. Camp No No

      😆

    4. John t penguin
      • 11 Years

      Jose is genius

    5. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      it only took 3 managers

  6. UnitednationsXI

    Ibra to rashford tonight!!!

    last week benteke with zero involvement in 4 goals and now ibra!!

    THe reason i have them is due to high goal involvement

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be tempted if it wasn't Stoke up next.

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

      Yeah if no Bentekkers today I'm doing it

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah it looks a good move right now. Rashford is everywhere

    4. Fantasy123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This game only increases ibra's stock

      He should have scored one, and if United continue playing like this he's bound to explode (oh, and home vs Stoke next)

    5. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Benteke to Rashford and double up Untd for Stoke game.

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

      Smart man, you should make the transfers now at half-time. Best chance

      1. nobwak
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Weren't you going on and on about how important owning Ibra is, yesterday?

      2. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Rude man.

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

      hmmm yes hard to get rid of ibra before Stoke at home but will ibra to drop in price and rashford will rise atleast 0.2

  7. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Cannot believe Ibra hasnt been involved in any of the goals

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He had an easy chance, should be 5-0

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

      I can, 3 silly goals from corners. Anyone could score

  8. Duffo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Regretting selling Ibra already even though he hasn't scored. Big points over the coming weeks

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

        This

      2. michudagawd
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Well said.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed. Kept him on my wc. Big things vs stoke next week. United are very much a home team

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      True
      He is Captain sensible next gw

    4. Exdeo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      yeah, but the price loss...well, let's see if patience will be rewarded

  9. Mull
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Knowing what Mourinho is like this game is going to end 4-0.

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

      4-1 would just do that.

  10. Cevap
    • 15 Years

    Was that Daniel I saw posting????? 🙂

  11. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Banter in the stands "who are you, who are you"

    "Champions of England, we know who we are"

  12. Fanta sea
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Can Shaw get back into this United team?

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

      Yes

    2. JayBomb
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not after this Blind performance

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Legit point..
      2 assists for Blind (admittedly both corners)

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Blind could play in Herreras place in theory

    4. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure. Blind and Smalling have been excellent

  13. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Zlatan to score hatty in the second half. 4 goals and no points crazy

    1. Goal Digger2016
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Or rested

  14. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Have the Mata and Pogba trains left the station?

    Or all about Rashford?

  15. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Rooney and Fellaini out the squad and we look amazing, so happy right now! And my Rashford punt paid off!

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Congrats. Almost sure he's coming into my team this week. He's always going to score, only question was if he gets game time. No way he doesn't anymore.

  16. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else had problem accessing the site 2-3 hours back or was it me only? 🙁

    1. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      All good here

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

      That was 2-3 hours ago. Move on.

  17. Daniyal
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Repost
    A) Hazard + Souare --> Firminio + Koscielny
    B) Hazard + Foster --> Sanchez + Pickford and keep Souare and risk more price drops

    Both are for a hit
    suggestions plz

  18. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Should've captained anyone but Ibra.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I recon he'll get some points
      thankfully changed this morning to Kun

  19. Bushido
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy to Rashford if Vardy doesn't score. Bony to Lukaku if Bony doesn't score 🙁

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy to Rashford anyway.

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

    Pogba to firmino paying off well so far

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

      Right decision prehand though

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

        Not really making me feel better 🙂

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

          Haha, Firmino yet to play

  21. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Makes me absolutely sick how the commentators are drooling and w@nking over united right now. They've been great but Leicester have been woeful

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Bathe me in your bitter tears.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      United have been sublime though

    3. Mull
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not going to score from corners every game.

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

    if Mata was nailed he would be straight into my team

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Can he be dropped after this?

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

        Yes, he regularly is.

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Depends whether Mourinho has finished with Rooney. He may only be viewing this as a wake up call for him.

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

      agreed

  23. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    so Shaw out then...?

  24. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Zlatan being shipped out en mass will increase Aguero's ownership 🙁

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He wont though
      Even though he hasn't got points, he has been good
      and he has Stoke next GW...

  25. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ibra & Rashford double up for the Stoke game?

  26. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Already frustrated that Ibra didn't get in on any of those headers.

  27. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Damn. Benched Valencia which looked like a good shout for a while. Feeling a bit daft now.

  28. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Can't really sell Ibra before stoke can we?

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

      For whom?

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I won't be selling

  29. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    4 goals and Ibra's done nothing, I am shocked
