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.

    So, for the second time in two years, I have deleted my team as I am taking FPL far too seriously and it's taking up far too much of my time

    Have a good season everyone 😀

    Calling all Spurs fans or whoever have some knowledge about Spurs!

    With Walker land Chiriches likely to return from injury sooner than later, and Naughton back from suspension, I'm wondering how the Spurs bacline gonna look going forward. Considering jumping on the Dier bandwagon, but seems to uncertain to me right now?? Spurs looks solid in the back, and I reckon having coverage here needs to be considered ASAP.

    Game 1
    Naughton - Kaboul - Dier - Rose
    [Injuries: Verthongen, Walker, Chiriches]

    Game 2
    Dier - Kaboul - Verthongen - Rose
    [Injuries: Walker, Chiriches. Suspension: Naughton]

      None at all. 🙂 I felt for sure lightning was going to strike twice and he would score today, to reward the casual bandwagoners - but we got away with it. He'll probably never score again
