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.

    Chadli is only 6.0
    Wasn't his biggest fan at all last year but could a manager like Poch get regular goals out of him by playing him as a poacher roaming in from the wing?
    Mata -> Chadli could free up 3.0 for Aguero.

        I can't see him starting every game for some reason... but then if he manages to score like this in the manner he's being played then there's no reason he shouldn't be first choice over Lennon.

    Has anyone been using the new PlayOn live matches feature (where the team owner earns a %commission)?

    Seems flawed because surely everyone is going to just pick the highest scoring teams (ie. highest points per player).

    Thinking some sexy transfers (decided to avoid word trannies) for gw3.
    Caulker, Austin -> Collocini, Naismith.

    Didn't see this coming, but avoiding price drops seems quite important this season.

    to all Caulker owners (including me):

    He could have easily scored a goal in his 1st match if it was not for the clearance off the line and in this match we weren't expecting much and benched him anyway (3rd sub in my case). However, the home match against Sunderland was what we were gonna play him.

    So nothing has changed....don't sell...keep him at least for the next match!!!

      McShane played a shocking pass back to him, far too short. Stoke player got there first, poor touch past him and Chester was in the way. Shouldn't have been a straight red, because there was another hull player that would have cut it out.
