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.

        • Bushido
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Sold Mahrez, bought Rashford, early wild card successes.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

      6. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago
