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.

      Definitely looking like a beautiful side. Even if he dropped Hazard for Coutinho or Mane or something and went with Lukaku for Rashford.

    4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

      Decent - no Lukaku though.

    Baines & Hazard > Holebas & Sanchez -4?

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. Just the first one. Hazard could do well vs Hull.

  6. Daniyal
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Had Hazard and Souare to deal with at the start of the GW
    and now add Ibrahimovic and Baines to the list as well
    just 1FT ;_;

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

      Baines should be back next week

      1. Daniyal
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        still gonna be losing a lot of $$$

    Come on guys, there's no need to be childish now. If you did well, don't gloat - explain your decision. If you messed up, don't whinge - stick by your decision because the points will no doubt come.

  8. Arceus

    Ibra fail

      Unlucky bud

  9. HurriKane
    • 13 Years

    Who;d you rather have right now

    Rashford or Deeney ?

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

      Deeney and 5 sweet fixtures with PKs

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Still Deeney for me.

      • itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Deeney > ANYONE > A Man Utd player

      • twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Denny by a long chalk

      • Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Deeney but I had to pick rashford as I Already have pererya and Capoue

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

      Ibra could have had 2 or 3 today. I all this argument about not having him or having him is useless. He's Zlatan, the man is made of goals and has been his whole career. He'll score plenty more this season and we all know he will. End of.

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

        Problem is for those who have Ibra and Kun, can't really carry on with both as squad is badly balanced.

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

        No one is doubting that, we are however doubting if he is worth his price tag fpl wise.

      3. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. That still doesn't make selling him a bad move though.

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

          I never said it did. I just think people are far too quick to write him off by selling him this quickly. Rashford is still a great alternative.

      4. LAMB TEA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        i dont think i know he will score plenty more, ur point?

    4. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rashford was a great pick for my team. We played fantastic and Pogba was outstanding, he just needs time to prove the haters wrong!

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

        Well played

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

      Love how scout picks are usually bad.

      Players not even playing and others blanking. LMAO!

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

        Ibra could have had 2 or 3 goals today. Lovren and Baines injuries were completely unpredictable until after the deadline. Grow up.

        1. ST United
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Lovren not playing was on here all day

        They got 76 last week 🙄

      Life without Ibra look okay for this week. 🙂

      1. thepeen555

        Defo

    8. Baked baines

      So it was benteke last week with palace scoring 4 and not a zilch.........now it's ibra's turn!!!

    9. Jamie_GAWA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Right so Baines is out this week and may be back next week, yet people are getting rid of him for next week?

      This is nearly as bad as chasing points

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        How do you know he may be back next week?

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

          How do you know he isn't?

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I never said anything. You can't just make assumptions. We have no idea about this injury so stop saying false rumors.

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

              You being stupid.

              Nobody knows wether he will or he won't so there for his future is a 'maybe'

              What I said is accurate as he may be back

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

                You're*

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

              Don't know if English is your first language, but 'may' encompasses all possible options.

              1. Les Bleus
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                So stating the obvious then? Ok great post

                1. Burton
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  Could've sworn that was your cue to gracefully apologise for yer 'false rumours' tizzy.

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

                  The point of the point was that people are getting rid of him because he didn't play this week but that doesn't affect his points in the future if he is back which he 'may be'

      2. Ashablue87
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed. If it's only a niggle which hopefully it is then it's a waste of a transfer.

    10. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Amat better not be sent off

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

        Yellow card only.

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

      Capoue started by 60% of top10k 😆

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

        more than Kun, more than Ibra

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

        King has FPLers SHOOK.

        Talent always wins!

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

        I'm scared.. If I had any idea Baines would have been out I would have AOA'd with Capoue. Now I have Amat coming on if Holebas is out!

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

        Most of them got there by playing Capoue every week

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

        Interesting. I've benched him again

    12. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Well - the Ibra experiment (owning him) hasn't got off to a good start. But there's stoke next week - if he smashes it there then it's back to square one. He should have had one.

      Anyway - let's see how the rest of the weekend goes!

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

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

        If Aguero fires then everyone will migrate to him (I own him already but still) so Ibra could easily lose 0.3 by next GW and any cheaper forward on decent form will be jumped on and let's face it most forwards are cheaper than Ibra...

        Could be looking at easily 0.6 mininum swing come GW 8 (Stoke is GW7) for your Ibra replacement and like I was I said I was only gonna keep Ibra till Stoke game and then rebalance my team as I have no out and out heavy hitter in MF so hanging might prove costly even for that one game.

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I may try Rashford anyway. Then get Sanchez in my midfield

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

            Yeah my MF is really wierd looking. I have Barkley on the bench for FFS!

      2. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 4 months ago

          As an Ibra seller I am not saying he is a bad pick. I just think he is not value for money and others are whilst making your midfield a lot better.

      3. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Still not sure about Rashford when he's playing on the left. Looked ok today but the position doesn't really suit him.

      4. Jay_
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Benteke is getting sold for Rashford tonight even if he scores a hatrick.

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

            harsh.

          2. twoplustwo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I will hold Bentekkers if he gets something today, otherwise he is going for the pop in Rashford's price

        • PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Watch 1:

          A) Liverpool vs Hull

          B) Swansea vs City

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

            Watch the game that you have more players.. B will produce more goals

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

              Coutinho and Aguero (c) & Stones

          2. Fitzy.

          • 15 Years

          Ah hindsight. WC played, kept Ibra and brought in Baines.

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

            I always say a WC is just another way of doing loads of hit free transfers.

            Still non the wiser as to how it will pan out from regular transfers.

        • TheBusDriver
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No Baines and Ibra (c) blank. So sick of this game.

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years

            Don't worry Aguero hattrick may cheer you up.

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            For the first time i think i got the WC right
            Made Ibra/Valencia --> Rashford/Clyne with Firmino
            atleast all my picks are starting..

          5. George Sillett
            • 10 Years

            Yawn.

        • Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Is Baines a teeny weeny hamstring thing or one of those weeks on end jobs?

          Is that Cabaye playing in the hole for Palace?

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Dunno.

            Looks like it.

        • PlayPercentage
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Any news on when Baines will be back?
          An expensive defender. Need him to be nailed on.

            Next week.

        • Numb
          • 11 Years

          Ibra down some more price this week then

        • Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years

          Baines > ?

        • Viper
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Spent hours agonising over whether to go for Baines or not. Decided to go with.

          You just can't plan this game sometimes 🙂

          Ibra blank is nice but expecting to be punished next week instead

          1. John Nerdelbaum

            who have you got coming in for him, viper?
