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.

      Sorry, Bemba missed it. So difficult to weed out the troll injury posts from the facts.

      why do people want a link? I mean what a weird thing to lie about!?...

    9. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      bit risky wildcarding him in then?

  2. GARYNEVILLESTASH
    • 12 Years

        Same here 😀

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

      It included me because I forget to switch it to Kun ...... only consolation is my rivals forgetting to bgring Kun off the bench!

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Sounds like a league for the taking!

    6. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Nice

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

    if u start with three playings defs and only two play does a mid count in a 2-5-3?

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

      Nope

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

        good its for a rival

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

    Damn, not looking forward to making the weekly "Is Pickford still nailed on?" post.

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

    34% of the top 10k took a hit this week. Huge number.

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

      All for Aguero

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

        Yep.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Extra 4 points for wildcarders, or -4 paid back for taking Aguero out a couple of weeks ago.

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

        Yeah. I dodged it with 2 FT s.
        4 points equates to loads of places this early.

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

    8.7% in 10K / 29.9% overall (highest captain in overall)

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

    Liver average: 5 points

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years

      Live

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 12 Years

      Ibra already played

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Highest owned player in the game. Not a differential

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

    6. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years

          1. tm245
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            No, got Aguero back in so I welcomed him with the armband.

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

                • 14 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Cheers, Hazard was the toughest cut but I am a sucker for KDB.

    12. Cevap

    15. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rondon here. Hope Chadli compliment him.

  9. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Let's all hope Kun does something this week.

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

      -1

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Unlike Iheanacho we have a nailed on option for a top 4 side at the moment

    3 goals in last 4 and a price of 6.8 too hard to ignore right? Stoke up next too

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

      Benteke > Rashford for me

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

        This. A benteke brace would stop me though.

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

      He does fit the profile of Ramsey , Kane , Alli of last few years
      Cheap players in a top team

      Even more so as a United player will fly up in price

    3. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Very tempted to double up on Ibra and Rash for Stoke.

      So frustrating that the big man didn't get anything today but keeping the faith.

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

        Agreed.

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

        Think I'm going down this route

        Then sell Ibra after Stoke game spend the money on a mid

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

      Is he? Martial won't stay on the bench.

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

        He will if Rashford continues scoring.

      2. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes he will...maybe comes on for lingard but not rash if he continues

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

      Yes. Got him on WC despite those saying too punty.

      Martial injured & Mkhitarayan struggling for form and fitness. United need his pace and knack for finding the net. He's been nailed on since Watford.

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

      "Nailed on" is a bit of a stretch but yeah, looks good for the next game anyway.

  11. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lovren injured?

    What a waste of time that move was.

    Is Matip nailed?

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

      Viral infection I think

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

        Matip?

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

          Told you to stay away from those lady boys.

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

      Its only an illness. Should be back next week.

    3. Manilaman
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just sick

  12. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy and Mahrez subbed at half time.
    Leicester now in relegation form?

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

      No

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

      Is it a CL rest when the game is lost or what?
      Don't really get this move by Ranieri

      1. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes...that's what it was. They don't have the depth to manage both

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

          Fair enough

  13. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Gutted that Zlatan got nothing today in the 4 goals

    Never seems to pay going against the crowd the last couple of seasons

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

      Apparently he had more of a play maker role...which isn't good for those who want his 4 point goals...

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

        This is sort of true but he also had about 6-7 shots with 2-3 good chances to score. One of them should have been in by his standards. I'm braving the price drops to keep him. Can't forget that he has penalties also.

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

        He could easily have scored. Ibra seller but even I know we were lucky today.

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

      Technically the crowd still has Ibra.

  14. Capoue
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is there a chance ibra drops nefore thebgames tomorrow?

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      High

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Was wondering this myself. Very tempted to swap for Rashford and strengthen my team elsewhere

    3. khalnayak
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      very likely

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

      if Aguero does well possibly

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

    Need to ship Jaku - Valencia - Baines - Defoe asap......

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

      Jaku needs to go first.

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

        Straight to Pickford...then he'll get dropped and I'll need to find 0.5m and take a hit to get a playing keeper 😀

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

          That's FPL for you 😀

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

        Just play your other keeper

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

      valencia is not as pressing as the others

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

      Why Valencia?

  16. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thank you to those who recommended doing Jaku > Pickford last night.

    Much appreciated.

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

      Lee Grant an option now

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

      Good stuff.

  17. mranonymous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Plz RMT.

    Foster-Pickford

    Shaw-Stones-Williams-McAuley-Amat

    Mane-Firmino-Sterling-Walcott-Capoue

    Kun-Lukaku-Benteke

  18. Fluctus de Mutilatio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any other Baines Lovren Holebas defensive lines out there?

    Looks like I'll end up with Holebas* Evans Amat. Will be lucky to squeeze 3 points from this lot, so no different than every week so far.

  19. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hope holebas recovers for Monday

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

    Rashford good option for value, 3rd striker with Aguero and Lukaku? Could do Snod to Sanchez

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

      Already my strikeforece, Rashford is becoming more and more nailed.

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

        Tnx going to do Ibra to Rash than

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Jaku owners may get a reprieve if Marshall hurts his back picking the ball out of the net for the fifth time 😉

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

      After mane scores his 5th

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

        Or Firmino?

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone know Ibras captain %?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

        Thanks. Dodged a bullet

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      8.7% in 10K / 29.9% overall (highest captain in overall)

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

  23. khalnayak

    Jaku ---> lee Grant

  24. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Chadli

    I can't believe I'm even just ever so slightly excited about owning a west brom attacking asset

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

      Don't expect him to produce last week's return every gameweek. West Brom still were completely dominated possession wise, it's just West Ham's defence is a farce without Reid

  25. Capoue
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Im really scared ibra might drop tomorrow before the games

    I got exactly the enough funds to do

    Ibra+snodgrass to austin+ sanchez

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

      I'm concerned you're in a hurry

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

        you have kept Ibra to play till Stoke. so keep him i guess.

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

      Easy decision that. Go for it

    3. Fred54

          A few goals conceded and a McAuley goal from a set-piece would be ideal.

      A) Hazard + Souare --> Firminio + Koscielny
      B) Hazard + Foster --> Sanchez + Pickford and keep Souare and risk more price drops
      C)do something about Ibrahimovic

      Both are for a hit
      suggestions plz
