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.

  2. Team Cruel

    Ville Ronke played Snod and benched Capoue. Right decision?

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He knows sh*t.

    2. Epic Fail

      Doesn't matter. 2 points each.

      No way I would have done that.
      He is much better than me though...

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I was tempted to bench Capoue also, for Barkley.

    • @Team Shark FC
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Planning to do:

      PVA to Holebas
      Benteke to Rashford
      Cazorla to Sanchez

      Thoughts?

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        wait until after the matches are done

        Holebas is injured last I checked

        1. @Team Shark FC
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          yes will plan to do it after the matches. it will take -8 for it. Do u think is worth it?

          1. Heels_Over_Head
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            not sure to be honest

            want to see Arsenal first... Ozil may match Sanchez for points from now until March if both healthy... Sanchez turns it up a notch in April it feels like to me

      2. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Might as well do it now

              Names of the mascots I think, all a bit odd.....

              9 years, 4 months ago

              Same. Will keep with Ibra, Lukaku and Aguero line up for this GW and next and then re think it as I have no heavy hitter in midfield.

                I was even thinking of getting Rashford for Rondon this week and going double United v Stoke
                Then downgrading Zlat the week after and spending the money on KDB/Sanchez type mid

        8. Revival

              Irony is they were mostly from Far East so most of their cousins made the shirts for 50p a day so not cost too much
