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.

    I did say Baines was probably not playing. Thanks for mocking me off 😛

      Where did you hear this?

      1. Hobolicious
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Norwegian forum. An Everton fan that came up with the information.

      Same people who mocked you will disappear when you end up right

      That's just how it is 😀

        You're a slightly different case though.

    3. The Tinkerman

      On what evidence? I was looking for a hint he was injured, can't see anything.

  4. Twisted Saltergater

    Rashford rested for Stoke 😆

  5. George Sillett
    10 years, 1 month ago

    That's better. Rooney on should ensure that Ibra blanks.

    1. Thomas Magnum

  8. Karan_G14
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Has Lovren lost his place or injured/ill?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Viral infection

      1. Karan_G14
        10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Kuyt Hero

      he's got a virus. Matip/Lovren is def first choice CB pairing

      1. Karan_G14
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Should be available next weekend. Keeping him then.

    3. Blue&White85

    Gonna lol so hard if Rooney scores and Ibra doesn't.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bet he takes a pen off him!!

  10. Fowler23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rooney shot on target and he did not even know it

  11. Win'dian
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why Ibra doing a Rooney today..
    He's not at all running into the box and instead trying to play Rushford and others.

  12. itwaswritten
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibrat still hasn't scored. Talent always wins!

  13. Messiah Hazard

    Evans in for Baines. Oh WBA, please keep a CS

  14. Thomas Magnum
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Vicious strike from Rooney

  15. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra owners, whats the plan? Sell after Stoke?

    1. Karan_G14
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably but for who. Lukakus good fixtures will be over. Only Costa left. Let's see if he keeps banging them in.

    2. SuperMario
      10 years, 1 month ago

      re-assess next week.. some people may end up selling this week which could be great news for you when he bags a hat trick

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

  17. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    10 years, 1 month ago

  18. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Jaku > Cech

  24. NestorC
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. NestorC
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So people who get him will play 3 5 2 or what? Thinking about Ibra to Rash and than some mid to Sanch

        1. thepeen555
          10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. JogaSemmedo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He will start in league games.

  25. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    That's football I guess, we can't possibly know the lineups. Educated guesswork.

  26. fedolefan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    OMG, useless Jakupovic. Pickford better not throw in a clanger else I'm looking at no keeper 1 week after a WC.

    1. SW6
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This was always inevitable though..

  27. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    0-0 in WBA-STK game too much to ask for? have got 3 def in that game

    1. liiusions
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same. If there was ever a game to be a 0-0 though...

  28. JogaSemmedo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Some of the pathetic reactions on here to team news but should never be surprised.

    Baines and Lovren not end of the world. Rashford punt delivered today and now got Kun (c), Kaku, Sterling, Firmino and Sanchez to look forward too

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well, I drafted three apparently injured defenders on my WC. That seems almost statistically impossible, yet I did it. Great management! Not!. Still, no the end of the world....

  29. GoonerByron
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should have played AOA.. Stones and Amat probably coming off the bench but Capoue stuck on it 🙁

    1. liiusions
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You know what happens next then ...

  30. No Name to Display
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I own Foster and Mcauley but I feel there wont be a CS for them against Stoke
