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.

    Blind is absolutely brilliant. If only he was nailed on.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If only he was not Blind..

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think my brain cells are dying from the terrible banter on here

    2. Mickeylicious
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I believe he offers more compared to shaw in built up and has more experience

  2. TheBusDriver

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra (c) blank and Aguero to go mental and I'm done with this game.

      If it's any consolation, you weren't going to do very well anyway.

        coded tips?

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You captained Ibra?

    5. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you captained him over Kun then you only have yourself to blame, friend

  3. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    4 goals but Ibra was not involved in any of them, What sorcery is this ?

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Dr strange sorcery

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Could've had one goal and an assist had Rashford scored

  4. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Benteke & Redmond to Rashford & Firmino for -4 was the plan.

    At this point I'll be following through.

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Make sure u have a change of pants then 😉

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        nice

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Perhaps, if Benteke blanks

      1. Zoostation
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        ya obviously not until everything is played this week

  5. Mickeylicious
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Tinkering at 13.20 by switching Sanchez and Rashford to Ibra and snody is paying off!

    Never log in on Saturdays... Never log in on Saturdays... Never log in on Saturdays..... Never log in on Saturdays...

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years

      agreed-thankfully I learnt my lesson

  6. Slam
    • 10 Years

    He's got STOKE(H) relax

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      and 45 more minutes

    2. Mickeylicious
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mata is fpl gold but mourinho is stubborn to play him

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

    Rashford in

    Ibra out

    Can't take it anymore

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lol

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years

    3. Mickeylicious
      • 13 Years

      See above. I chickened out just before deadline

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    need a Leicester goal to win my bet, hope Utd switch off in 2nd half now

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Here's hoping for an Ibra hatty

  9. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    bar man city its so hard to predict form

  10. Wolverine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Has taken a few managers and a variety of positions but looks like mourinho has found rooneys best position after all...

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This.

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Gonna be grim when Rooney comes on in the 80th minute and it ends 5-4

    3. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lol

    4. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      agreed +42

    5. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Still some work to be done, he can still be used as a sub.

    6. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe a different seat on the bench - one which is closer to the locker room

  11. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Has anyone in anyone's ML got any of those points so far

    1. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pogba the only one with non-negligible ownership

    2. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      One mate has Mata and other has Blind as first sub.

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Guy in my league started Rashford. Super genius.

    4. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Got in Rashford on my wildcard over Deeney. Fairly pleased with that one!

  12. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Had my doubts about a Herrera Pogba double pivot.

    Herrera's been sublime as a deep midfielder, allowing Pogba to go forward. 😀 Love you Ander.

    Pogba along with the rest of the team - brilliant.

    Love you Daley Blind!

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

      Ander is brilliant

      I think United should try Pogba as a number 10

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Mata been brilliant 🙂

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

          Mata on the wing and Lingard out imo

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Hmm possibly. Lingard has been a bit lost this game but I'd rather Mkhi in for him soon, and Mata keeps the 10. Pogba sublime as an 8.

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Herrera lacks positional discipline at times but he's quicker and hungrier than Fellaine, and is sublime on the ball. Pogba has been good.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yup.

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Less clumsy than Fellaini too

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Very true

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's s great midfield 3. All great passers and creaters

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. 🙂

    4. Mickeylicious
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ander and mata gives Utd movement and much better passing

    5. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mata needs to play as well, he makes us look much more dangerous

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

    The magician plays at 3!

    Here's hoping Coutinho starts

    1. klopp4kop
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes mate..:)

  14. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Wonder if Phil Neville still thinks Rooney should play. Dummy.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      lol

    2. Gravless wonder
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Him and every other 'pundit'

  15. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra could have had two already. No reason to sell IMO. Rashford still a very good prospect non the less.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Could have had two? Lol, in that logic every striker could have had 5 in each game 😀

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Could have but so did Rashford for a low price.

    3. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      not good enough with a price tag like his.

  16. Fpldonny
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If mourinho takes ibra off at half time to give him a rest...

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Oh yeah it could be possible didn't think of that

  17. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is rashford nailed

  18. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    ibra owners still 45 v a beaten side. brace still on

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      have you heard of mourinho?

  19. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero scoring big or blank today?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Big hopefully

    2. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I don't know.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Now let's see ? I'll tell you at 5.00pm.

  20. klopp4kop
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    sublime manchester united or poor leicester??

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      2nd.. 3 goals on corners is just poor defending

    2. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bit of both.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Both of course. It's 4-0!

  21. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    2. George Sillett

      Look for yourself.

  22. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Benteke -> Rashford for the Stoke game next week.. Good transfer?

    1. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Unless tekkers go mad this gw

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This I'm afraid will wait and see later

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think I'll be doing this.

  23. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is Rashford playing up front or on the wing?

    1. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Up front

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      wing, scored goal from a quick corner

      1. Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        But he's always been next to ibra when the chances have come by.

    3. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wing

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

      Playing wide mostly but central at corners with Inra back post.

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wing but coming inside a lot

  24. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Tadic dropped again. Honestly don't know what his owners were hoping for. He was always a steady scorer.

    1. Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Playing West Ham as well this GW, crazy stuff from those ppl who sold him

    2. cheekumz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I got rid, but reluctantly on a wc... i still really like him but theres just better ways to spend your fpl moneys!

  25. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibrahimovic>Rashford, Snodgrass>Sanchez, Shaw>Lovren

    🙂

  26. Skokym
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    How is Ibra looking please? Is it a bad luck that he is not in the.points? Thx

    1. mipola
      • 13 Years

      Bad luck.

      1. Skokym

  27. John t penguin

    So does this prove or disprove the early kick off theory

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

      Yeah, it's just after lunch so their food is in digestion. Bad for goals as you can clearly see

  28. Bushido
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is the Liverpool defense any good?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Better.. might be even better if Karius starts in goal..

    2. klopp4kop
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes....lovren matip partnership looks solid...and if karius in goal...

  29. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ultimate kneejerk. Deeney > Rashford before Deeney even plays. 😆

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

      Makes sense

  30. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ib4 Blind is in every team here for next week.
