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.

    People are so reactionary... Eriksen is still a great option...

    The game hasn't even finished yet FFS...

    1. tm245
      12 years, 2 months ago

      How is he playing? I missed the first half.

      1. Zep
        12 years, 2 months ago

        He's played well from what I've seen... (switching between both games)

        Could've easily have had a FK goal and an assist for that shot Ade should have scored...

        1. tm245
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks. Holding for now.

    2. Bellerinmondo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      he could have had a goal and assist already

      1. Hey_Arnold
        12 years, 2 months ago

    3. Zep
      12 years, 2 months ago

      How the feck is Eriksen a fail?

        12 years, 2 months ago

        0 goals/assists in 45 minutes X 2 = 0 😛

    4. Kip

      Eriksen looking great tbh

    5. Cilly Bonnolly

      Eriksen hasn't failed yet. Game still being played.

  4. DIegoCosta19
    12 years, 2 months ago

    if dier gets an assist and clean sheet as well as his goal today...

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Well, if he gets a CS, he will get 3 BPS.

      So he'll be on 15. I think another assist is greedy.

      1. DIegoCosta19
        12 years, 2 months ago

        dier captain anyone

    2. TheSteel
      12 years, 2 months ago

    Who's the spurs captain today?

    1. Demí
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Kaboul

  6. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    What this second half needs is a Lamela goal.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Or two..

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I won't complain 😉

    2. Vpan
      12 years, 2 months ago

      *Eriksen

    3. Geordienufc1
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Or a red card... 😉

    4. Sánchez
      12 years, 2 months ago

      *2

    5. Raddy
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I'll allow a Lamela goal if I can have a Caulker goal

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Deal

  7. Tin of Directors
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Did Diouf just do that??
    How crap is he???

  8. Adam

    1. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Unlike your links 😉

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Rio has been awful. His marking cuased them to concede last week too.

  9. Wirtzle Gummidge
    12 years, 2 months ago

    A PvA goal would really make my day.

    1. Towsor44
      12 years, 2 months ago

      This and a cleanie 🙂

  10. El Duffman
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Dropping Diouf who's my thrid choice forward unless he scores in the second half then banking the = money to upgrade other area's of the pitch , not really sure who to pick up instead. Naismith is the clear option but whats yours thoughts on other budget/Cheaper forward like Chamakh, Brown Ideye or Sakho (WHU) ?

  11. TheSteel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Caulker begovic fail. Need utd to save me

  12. Bellerinmondo
    12 years, 2 months ago

    looks like QPR are going 4 at the back, surely can't be any worse

  13. Vpan
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen

    or

    Sterling

    long term?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      12 years, 2 months ago

      sterling to have more explosive fixtures, Eriksen to be more consistent week in week out is my guess.

  14. camarozz
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Hung on lamela last wk,a goal now and il b keeping him I thinks. Caulker and Davies(spurs) =no points and that's not good,2nd wk in a row.

  15. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Arnautovic is actually useless

    1. Tin of Directors
      12 years, 2 months ago

      He is having a very bad day that is for sure.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Lol arnautovic. So over rated here

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Unbelievable in Fifa, he's like a Ronaldo for a mid table team.

    2. AriseSirGiggsy
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Oh yes

  17. Camp No No
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 2 months ago

  18. Piggs Boson
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1. sminkypinky
      12 years, 2 months ago

  19. Amateur Pundit Zan
    12 years, 2 months ago

          12 years, 2 months ago

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      They were very lucky to scrape past West Ham last week. Calm yo titties.

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      12 years, 2 months ago

      We are never really in the running to win it.

      Stop fishing

    3. DIegoCosta19
      12 years, 2 months ago

      pochetino is a great manager though, too bad spurs are typically bottlers and shit

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Tw@t alert

    4. MattysFantasyFooty

  23. Pedram

    1. Tin of Directors
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Good grief

    2. crushro
      12 years, 2 months ago

      am hoping hull will tire and he gets a brace... although I also hoped England would win the world cup...

  24. THE Wild Rover
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Silly YC for Robertson

  25. Thick Of It
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Will Harry dump the wing back system after this? They are getting battered.

    1. andyinasia
      12 years, 2 months ago

      He needs to - doesn't have the CBs for it.

      Poch is getting those buys from last season going - fine fine manager.

  26. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Will Dummett lose his place soon? I need to replace chester. I have 5m, but if I don't need to spend it...

  27. Andre W
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Bojan. PLEASE do something

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 2 months ago

      haha, so so glad i dumped him for naismith. you could even say he played a big part in hulls goal by missing two easy tackles

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Commentator says Eriksen played with wisdom and poise so far, can I have some points for these please...

  29. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    12 years, 2 months ago

    The annoying thing is Hull are on for a clean sheet. Chester would have 6+ points but instead he has -2 😆

    1. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Just bad luck

    2. amol
      12 years, 2 months ago

      He won't get the CS points, hasn't played for more than 60 mins 😆

  30. BenDavies
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Need Mata and Jones to steal the show today. Rooney to keep quiet, despite owning him.

    1. DIegoCosta19
      12 years, 2 months ago

      suarez (C) for everyone was points inflation last year
