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.

      Not sure Ibra haul would surprise many but a haul by Haz would make it interesting

    5. Give The Todd Some Love

      Even if Aguero bags a few, Zlatan getting points will annoy me

    Opinions on that United team?

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shows he is trying something else

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        10 years, 1 month ago

        /has no idea what his best team is.

        Herrera starting/Rooney not starting is what everyone wanted though.

        1. thepeen555
          10 years, 1 month ago

          This is the point that is apparent - show me why u should be in the team I think is the msg

    2. thepeen555

      And I like it

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Needs more Carrick, but Herrera is better than Fellaini in that role.

    4. *sigh*
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Herrera should have played from first game after his preseason form in my opinion.

  7. ★Kuntheman★

    A 0-0 today would be great

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You still get the football results behind a sofa.

    2. twoplustwo

    Ibra fires a warning shot

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hiding behind my beehive. Still buzzzin' for Ibra though.

  12. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra og and rc please

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

      Tedious

      1. George Sillett
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Very true

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    We needs goal Ibra, not attempted assists

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

    Should have squared that

  15. liiusions
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Of all the players to be a differential in my ML this week, I didn't expect it to be Aguero(c) ...

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could do with Ibra points as most of my ML have shipped him out for Aguero. I own both.

  16. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford looks sharp - but Leicester look like they'll hurt United on the break.

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

      Yeah playing very well, like Slimani and Mahrez together

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Slimai looks really good. Strong and getting into great positions

  17. *sigh*
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Albrighton under the radar this season I feel.On corners to new man Slimani could start producing and on my watchlist.Only 5.3 soon to be easy swap with Capoue.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He has no end product

      1. *sigh*
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Slimanis heading ability may change that?

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yuck

  18. ST United
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Rooney on pens?

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Will be subbed on especially.

    2. some witty pun
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not unless he pulls a zaza

    3. Billy Gilmore

    Leicester looking the better team for now.

    1. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Despite of the attacking lineup, ManU doesn't actually get in the danger are at all. Leicester does.

      Over 70% possession, though. Just not efficient with it. Is Mou the new Van Gaal? 😉

      1. Dr Dream
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Leicester look like they could score at any time. Quality over quantity as you rightly say.

        1. Camp No No
          10 years, 1 month ago

          And when we're talking, ManU scores. 😆

        2. Camp No No
          10 years, 1 month ago

          We were still right though. ManU was hardly getting anywhere near the goal, and despite the attacking lineup, looked very much like parking the bus and conservatively keeping the ball in their own half.

          That they manage to score from a corner doesn't change that. A Pulis team can do the same (and does it often).

    "I will be watching the match behind the sofa today"

    How can you seen the TV from behind the sofa?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You can be behind something and still see the TV (or anything else for that matter)

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's not a comfortable way to watch a football match.

      2. Bushido
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I agree

        1. Bushido
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I agreed to worzel, unfortunately the comment ended up below badger making it look like that I agree with him, which I don't.

      3. Net Gains
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Also worth pointing out that you don't know where his TV is - maybe it's also behind the sofa.

    2. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And why are you suddenly the authority on TV and sofa ergonomics?

  21. George Sillett
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester the better team atm. I have backed them at 19/4 and not unhappy with that at all.

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

      Nice, was that pre?

      1. George Sillett
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Backed them yesterday. Not looking quite so promising now.

  22. Fowler23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester looking way more dangerous

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not with huth shooting

  23. Jafooli

        10 years, 1 month ago

        Viz circa 1990's?

  24. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Get Rooney on

  25. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When's vardy going to score or assist so he scrape by in my team for another week

    1. Bushido

    That sinking feeling when you buy kun and forget to change captain from sterling I am so scared

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why not just put the captain on him when you transfer him in?
