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.

    It's not just about the fact that Eriksen blanked both the games but he just had NO goal threat from both the games.

            yeh he took them on one side only today but his free kicks are awesome. he seemed to drop deeper towards the end but i guess that was because they had no need to attack as much.

            thinking of Eriksen>Lamela myself because its easy and price purposes too, but think i may regret it...

          Him hitting the underside of the xbar
          Him passing the ball to adebayor who was 6 yards out
          His 2 good shots inside the box which could have gone in if it wasn't for some good defending.

            Pretty sure I saw a yellow flag against him this morning.

        Schurrle might be injured, and will probably be dropped next week. I'd get rid of him.

            Naismith looking good and frees up 0.4

        Thinking about Naismith but I'm waiting to see how Sunderland do against United, cause Fletcher may be another option.

        looking to move him on asap. Just freed up the 3m i need to move him to Ade / Dzeko. Not decided which one yet. No wriggle room on the price though. If he looke like falling this week i will need to burn 4 pts, as only Ade and Dzeko hold any value at 8.5.

      Shall I do Bojan --> Naismith already? I think Bojan and whole of Stoke must have been dreadful against 10 men Hull and Bojan started on the bench, so I guess this transfer should be a safe bet and Bojan might even drop to 5.4 shortly
