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.

    Loads of action today.

    By loads of irrelevant low ownership players.

    Hopefully people buy a few of these dummies.

    Can't believe how unlucky I got with both Caulker and Eriksen, who each had so many chances to score. Caulker's out but I'll keep Christian.

      Agree, Eriksen has to be kept.

      Could easily have 2 goals, 2 assists in that game

      Adebayor fluffed his assist, he hit the xbar etc

    Caulker does look a good attacking prospect despite missing today, he'll get the chances.
    If QPR signed a a whole new backline and midfield to support his clean-sheet chances I'd probably get him.

          He might this game, but Di Maria will negatively impact him unless LVG plays Di Maria wing back, which would be stupid and wouldn't get the best out of him and he would have more impact that Mata
