The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

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.

    I owned Caulker for his brace last year, and I am now realizing that I used up his portion of my lifetime supply of subpremium defender goals. Was playing with house money by owning him again this year but it could be time to leave the table and call it even.

    If he has not scored twice for you yet, hold on, because he gets into threatening spots all the time. It will happen soon.

    people on here aren't seriously down on Eriksen are they?

    he was unlucky to not join in on the goalfest today and he is the engine in their attack, without him, the lamelas and chadlis and adebayors of the team would be a shell of what they were today.

    you saw eriksen smash that FK off the bar, you know he's gonna bag goals, get BPs and be a generally solid fantasy performer this season barring injury.

    Eriksen is fine, and if I had a free FT to switch him to Lamela, I wouldnt.

    Why are everyone laughing at United now, after the transfer window the team could look very different. Even without lots of signings, replace Young with Shaw, Fletcher with Carrick, Cleverly with Herrera and Valencia with Di Maria.
    De Gea
    Rojo, Evans, Jones
    Di Maria, Herrera, Carrick, Shaw
    Mata, Rooney

      Surely you are too young to type?

      There have been plenty of dips over the years where form is lost and it looks flat. However, there are plenty of great players in the squad with more to come in this week hopefully. Give it time, LVG said ages ago that he is a slow starter with a new club and to give him some time.
