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.

      Why did these posts become so popular all of a sudden . Imagine Aguero gets 4 goals and Zlatan gets a red card 😯

    4. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    5. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    Let's have no more 'imagine the scenes if...' and 'LOL at..' posts. Just one weekend without it. Please.

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

      Imagine the scenes if Lukaku is benched. Lol@Lukaku owners

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Imagine the scenes if there are no posts like that.

        Ghost town...

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      And no more "hiding behind the sofa". So annoying. Come up with something original

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Armchair instead?

    5. Disco Volante

    Opinions on that United team?

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Shows he is trying something else

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        /has no idea what his best team is.

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

        1. thepeen555
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      And I like it

    3. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    4. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  7. ★Kuntheman★

    A 0-0 today would be great

      You still get the football results behind a sofa.

    Ibra fires a warning shot

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  12. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra og and rc please

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Tedious

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Very true

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    We needs goal Ibra, not attempted assists

  14. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Should have squared that

  15. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah playing very well, like Slimani and Mahrez together

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Slimai looks really good. Strong and getting into great positions

  17. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He has no end product

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Slimanis heading ability may change that?

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yuck

  18. ST United
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Rooney on pens?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Will be subbed on especially.

    2. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      not unless he pulls a zaza

    3. Billy Gilmore

  19. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester looking the better team for now.

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          And when we're talking, ManU scores. 😆

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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).

  20. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

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

    How can you seen the TV from behind the sofa?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

        2. Bushido
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I agree

          1. Bushido
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months 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
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

      • Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nice, was that pre?

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Backed them yesterday. Not looking quite so promising now.

    3. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Leicester looking way more dangerous

      1. Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not with huth shooting

    4. Jafooli

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Viz circa 1990's?

    5. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Get Rooney on

    6. Bushido
      • 9 Years

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

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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