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.

    Leicester are still making a better defence of their title than Chelsea last year

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

  12. Numb
    • 11 Years

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years

  14. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Best way for getting rid of lamela?

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

    B) lamela ----> walcott and keep ibra
    Thanks my friends

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

      B but not Walcott

  15. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lol Rashford nowhere near the baps!

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

      Why would he be?

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

        Scored earlier

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

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

    Ibra brace incoming

    Scared seller here

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

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

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

    DDG distribution as good as joe harts

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why's it stupid? Stop this kind of thinking.

  19. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

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

      Deeney hasn't even played yet!

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

        This!

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

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

        And that

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

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

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

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Missed the deadline chaos

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Btw, Owen, are that you?

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

          No bud 🙂

  21. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

  22. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

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

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

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

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

      Not sure - hull will score

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

      Fixtures

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

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

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

      Decent run of fixtures

  24. El Patron
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I transfered Glen Johnson in on the WC.

    Genious or Crap move?

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

      Prob crap tbh

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Lol

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

      Horrendous.

      Have u seen our defending?!

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        You have decent upcoming fixtures :/

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months 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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Crap

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