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.

    Well my gw is over and none of my players have played yet. Baines and lovren owner. Dw, Amat and Holebas will come in. One is injured and one will concede 4. Beautiful

      Holebas isn't ruled out

    4. sinik

      and those are all defenders who may have combined for 6 points for you anyways, not the end of the world

    Baines not even on Bench . Didn't See that coming.

    1. Fitzy.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Obviously injured.

    Lukaku on pens 😀

    1. faver

  5. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can I have my WC back?

  6. Les Bleus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Early days but anyone regretting going Kun(c) over Firminho?

    1. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not yet

    3. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.

      Agüero is so scoring a hat-trick!

    4. sinik

      Have you seen the 3 players behind Kun?

      Swansea have conceded the 2nd most shots in the box.

      Kun has 4th most shots in the box with 2 fewer appearances than anyone in the top 10 of that list.

      1. Les Bleus
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That helps a bit 😛

  7. Hi I'm Jose

    That Gray is so underratted. Totally must be nailed in!!

    1. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I had him at the start of the season over Capoue as he was my prediction for a breakthrough player.

      He takes set prices when he plays too. Too many players in his way atm though.

  8. RamaJama

    Jaku: Don't understand why so many gave brought him in and kept on wc this week. Everybody knew Pickford was 0.1 cheeper, more likely to keep his place and getting lots of save points every match...

  9. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'd do with Ibra last minute goal.

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

      Rashford out

  10. Lallana_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    You don't even need the bibs anymore. Whoever is leaking the Liverpool team is next level

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Your prediction was bang on. Top work mate

  11. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Out of the following which would you get rid of first. Rank them please.
    A) Bony
    B) Valencia
    C) Shaw
    D) Jaku

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      D C A B

    2. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      D c a b

    3. Hi I'm Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B)

    4. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A
      D
      C
      B

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well i'd say valencia last since he's actually nailed & contributing. Jaku can be a bench keeper... Bony also playing... So... Shaw?

  12. thepeen555
    10 years, 1 month ago

    At least jaku benched I will look to move him on then for someone to rotate with Heaton

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      10 years, 1 month ago

      FT wasted.

      1. thepeen555
        10 years, 1 month ago

        For you or me? I haven't got any other plans for my ft atm

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku hattrick incoming

  14. Fred54
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So for those who were holding Ibra for Stoke, are we still keeping?

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Will see.

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yes....and then he goes...

      2. Fred54
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Gonna me mega hard though.

        If Aguero fires then everyone will migrate to him (I own him already anyway) but Ibra could easily lose 0.3 this week and likes of Rashford or any other performer gain massively. Could be looking at 0.6 mininum swing come GW 8 for your Ibra replacement and TBH was only gonna keep Ibra till Stoke game.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Might sell to preserve team value. Ibra could be 11.0 after the international break if he blanks vs. stoke

    3. Darth Crooks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on other results. Will be closely monitoring Pool game to see if I want to do Ibra>Rashford and get in Mane or Firmino and put Capoue back on the bench

    4. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sold him before this gw

    5. Manaf
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep.I want to get rid of Valencia first.

  15. TheTinman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    OMG!!

    Just realised I picked Coleman in my wild card because Baines has been chronically injured for 3 years...!!!

    Cry my a river

    1. FPLEL
      10 years, 1 month ago

  16. Judas
    10 years, 1 month ago

    That Liverpool leaked lineup was bang on again. Happy to have Lovren in my WC team though if he is back next week

    Baines not even on the bench. Must be ill too or injured?

    1. Lallana_
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Lovren a nice pick long-term. Although I'm benching him next week 😮

      Perhaps I should have got Walker over Kosc all along.

    2. BabyB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rumours of a hamstring issue

  17. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can Capoue come on for one of my non playing Keepers? (Schmeichel and Jakupovic)

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hello Captain Fishface trap from Star Wars...

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What? I've never watched Star wars. Got better things to do with my time.

  18. Hurricane Gilbert
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Holebas doesn't start I will only have Walker and Amat wtf

    1. Slippy
      10 years, 1 month ago

  19. OPTA FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    no Fernandez too, a guy from Holland playing CB for Swan.
    Go Kun (C)

  20. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Ibra still playing?

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently

  21. Knowledgeable meerkat
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I really don't understand what more jaku could have done, seems harsh to be honest

    1. Fergietime
      10 years, 1 month ago

      what happened

  22. AK ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    LOL @ People Laughing at Berbinho for his lineups

  23. Lyonnais
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Holebas doesn't play on monday, Amat (MCI) will come into my XI....
    Wildcard off to a great start 🙁

    1. AK ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's something you would have known pre deadline.

      1. Lyonnais
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not really or did you know Baines would miss out ?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat and Curtis Davies for me. Liverpool never beat Hull

  24. Patty
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know anything about Lovren's injury?

    1. Judas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      illness

  25. Lallana_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    “We have no more bad injuries but there are some players we need to evaluate. Jose Holebas we will know about today or tomorrow if he’s ok. A lot of the players after the Manchester United game need to be evaluated.
    “Holebas has a bit of a problem with the abductor and I hope he will be ok. Before the Arsenal game he had a problem but then he was ok. We need to see today and tomorrow.”

    Really need him to play or I only have 2 defenders playing 😮

  26. Hy liverpool
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines isn't even on the bench ??????

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Someone had said hamstring as he heard it on a different site - I guess it could be right

  27. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Siddos
