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.

  14. Emiliano Sala
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best way for getting rid of lamela?

    A) ibra + lamela ---> mane + lukaku

    Thanks my friends

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B but not Walcott

  15. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. Numb
        10 years, 1 month ago

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

  16. Duffo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra brace incoming

    Scared seller here

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't be scared - embrace what u done and think ur team is better cause of it

      You could have 2 players who play this weekend that get more points than he would even if he scores 1

      1. Duffo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Positive outlook
        I shall try and adopt this approach instead of hiding behind the sofa

        1. thepeen555
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah it's how I see it and a lot don't u can get 2 quality other players with the money saved and do better - or at least 2 chances to do better in usually 2 different matches

  17. Fowler23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Clump

  19. Paganoi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hmmm. Was planning Tekkers > Deeney but thinking Rashford now since he seems to be nailing down a spot.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney hasn't even played yet!

      1. Patty
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This!

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why are you planning on selling Benteke before he has even played?

      1. Numb
        10 years, 1 month ago

        And that

  20. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 1 month ago

    For God sake, I woke up for Smalling goal. 🙁

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You woke up late cause including the break that was about 50 mins ago

      1. Dušan Citizen
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Missed the deadline chaos

      2. Dušan Citizen
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Btw, Owen, are that you?

        1. thepeen555
          10 years, 1 month ago

          No bud 🙂

  21. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I hope Ibra blanks so it's cheaper for me to bring him in next GW.

  22. GE
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When I have Zlatan - 1) or 2) next GW?

    1) Defoe -> Rashford
    2) Defoe -> Deeney

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

    Have I missed something, why were people chinning in Liverpool defenders?

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure - hull will score

    2. Fowler23
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fixtures

    3. XabiAlonso
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Because they have a good chance of scoring lots of points over the next 6

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

      Because Lovren scored 1 and then everyone on WC thinks he is the best defender in the world. 🙂

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Decent run of fixtures

  24. El Patron
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I transfered Glen Johnson in on the WC.

    Genious or Crap move?

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Danstoke82
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Horrendous.

      Have u seen our defending?!

      1. El Patron
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You have decent upcoming fixtures :/

        1. Danstoke82
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Doesn't matter.

          Our no.1 keeper is out do its a choice between a 40 year old or derby's backup keeper and on top of that we cannot defend. There's no easy fixtures when it involves Stoke trust me

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Crap

    4. Fowler23
      10 years, 1 month ago
