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.

      That awkward moment when you realize Jakupovic isn't starting..

      1. Ziro
        10 years, 1 month ago

        will come on on Marshall's red card and then save but divert it into own net? 😉

      Firmino assist(s)?

    5. Chucky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lol@you for not owning Fir or mane

    6. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This game screams a draw.

    7. GinjaWhinja
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mané hattrick as my captain today. It's overdue. Firmino will get nothing because he is playing as striker, which he hates.

    8. ST United
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lovren lol

  2. AK ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep same

  4. Royal5
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines out with a pulled hamster. Lukaku on pens hopefully.

    1. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Was thinking this.

  5. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No regrets going Pickford/Jaku. I knew the risk. More upset I didn't listen to my gut and just get Marshsall like I had been saying here. Oh well Better days ahead

    1. Turbo Timo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I went too

    2. Twiggy SRFC
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I might just play Pickford every week.

  6. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra staying on full 90 😎

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jaku out called by Wild Rover... *hats off

  8. Kiwivillan

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines WTF? Was so close to saving .1 and swapping to Coleman :'(

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Should have Coleman better option in their formation

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

        Only thing stopped me was Baines having risen to 5.6

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Same

  9. thepeen555
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra getting 90 mins then

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

    Why is Phelan so eager to get Marshall in? Jakupovic was doing well?

    1. Pratik
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Marshall was fantastic mid week....It was cited by a lot of people on this site.

      I am playing Pickford for 4 straight weeks, so not worried.

      1. fedolefan
        10 years, 1 month ago

        All assuming he doesn't get dropped. Pickford isn't first choice too right?

      2. AK ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        PRATIK!

        1. Pratik
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Well, someone recognises me! 🙂

          How have you been? I'm have been doing crazy sorts of things...Shifted to Dublin

      3. 42towels
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This. Still relieved I got lucky with Marshall in on WC.

        1. Pratik
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Saved a transfer for sure! 🙂

          I just loved my team atm, and I could't afford the upgrade. In 4 weeks, I will get another goalkeeper for him though.

    2. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Played badly last game

  11. ST United
    10 years, 1 month ago

    All day today was Lovren this Lovren that....

    Sad state of affairs...this site is of little value when the topic of discussion all day is bloody Lovren

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Seems pretty valuable to me

    2. GinjaWhinja
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone who went for a Liverpool defender should be happy with 0 points every week.

  12. Hurricane Gilbert
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Oh god sitting on Baines, Lovren and Holebas. Might not get 3 defenders playing this gw.

    I didn't hear anything about Baines - when did the news leak?

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      When the team sheet was released

    2. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It didn't.

    3. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It didn't till a about 1:40 and someone Read it on a diff site

    4. Knowledgeable meerkat
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It wasn't leaked I think, just became apparent when lineups came out

    5. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 1 month ago

      About 17 minutes ago

    6. faver

  13. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Emergency surgery to my team
    Pick one paleaaase
    A) Jaku > Cech
    B) Shaw > Monreal/Koscielny

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A depending on your other GK

      1. Bushido
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have Heaton as my other keeper

  14. The Mighty Hippo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I brought Marshall in as my second keeper a couple of weeks ago but was looking to get rid when I had a chance. He's starting today over Jaku for Hull.. Should I keep - will Heaton & Marshall be a decent combo to hold onto??

    1. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Get karius, the pool keeper

  16. SW6
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hold on, Coleman is cheaper than Baines?? Why on earth was Baines so popular on here ahead of Coleman?

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bains is on Penalties apparently

      1. Bushido
        10 years, 1 month ago

        And Coleman was Injured when I brought Bains in

    2. LAMB TEA
      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cannot believe Coleman is 5.4, I thought he was 5.6 same as Baines...

    6. faver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pens

    7. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Because Baines is English.

    8. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines on pens and other set pieces

      1. Royal5
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nothing to confirm he's on pens

    9. AK ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pens and general style of play.

    10. Magic Man
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pens.

    11. XabiAlonso
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman only just back last wek

    12. FantaCity
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pens, yes, but also they were the same price (5.5m) before .... Coleman was injured and dropped in price

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

    Ibra non-owners, you can leave your spots behind the sofas, he won't score anyway.

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm non Ibra owner and watched the whole thing on the sofa

      1. FPLEL

        Not all heroes wear capes 🙂

        1. thepeen555

          😉

  18. C_G
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Couldn't have asked for a better distribution of points to irrelevant players in this game. Dont own any Utd or Lei players

  19. El Patron
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Us with Jaku/Pickford are really fecked :/

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You were warned though

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah Pickford will keep playing I reckon, just need a Jaku upgrade in a few weeks.

      1. Pratik
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly....If Pickford is dropped, then I'd say we are really fecked, but I don't see that happening. He is young, was fantastic last week, Moyes should continue developing him.

  20. wowBOBwow
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lol @ the 35 year old reverse OOP 11.7m guy for United

  21. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So Man U have lost the second half 1 - 0. Not quite as rosy as it looked earlier. Crowd quieter than the Etihad 😉

  22. Fowler23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Zlatan playing so deep

  23. Mull
    10 years, 1 month ago

    4 goals and no Ibra involvement. He's just a rich man's Benteke!

  24. Patty
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lucky I have Holebas and Evans to come on for Lovren

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

    3 minutes of hope

  26. El Patron
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any of you bring Shaqiri in this GW?
    I think he will score.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep Man utd away looks like a great fixture

      1. El Patron
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Uhhhhm West brom at home.

    2. Scholes Balls
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would rather wait for him to get into form again

  27. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman and Clyne owner here.

    1. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cings better come thru with 7 points each.

  28. Twisted Saltergater
