The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

6,148 Comments

Sunday serves up a trio of Gameweek encounters, with Thursday’s Europa League ties pushing Hull and Tottenham’s home fixtures alongside Man United’s trip to the Stadium of Light.

Events begin at the KC Stadium and White Hart Lane, with Steve Bruce’s Hull hosting Stoke and Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs facing a London derby clash with QPR. Fantasy managers will be focused mainly on the latter, with Christian Eriksen the top owned asset on show from the early kick-offs.

Attention then turns to the North East, with Louis van Gaal’s United outfit taking on Sunderland in a bid to get their season underway following the opening day defeat to Swansea. With a staggering 48% ownership, Wayne Rooney remains the headline act, while Juan Mata’s 19% ownership will be holding out for returns in order to stem a tide of sales that have already seen the Spanish playmaker drop in price.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    If Aguero goes rampant tomorrow, how does this look for a "Kun Emergency Strategy"

    Begovic * Given
    Ivanovic * Clyne * Caulker * Chester * Moore
    Ramsey * Cesc * Siggy * Tadic * Lamela
    Costa * Rooney * Naismith

    Chester -> Dummett
    Cesc -> 8.0 mid (Go with only Costa + Ivanovic from Chelsea)
    Rooney -> Kun

        They won't both justify their prices. Just can't determine which to get rid of. Which is the weaker link.

        A lot of MF options this year. Can possibly get matas output from someone 8.0 or lower.
