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.

    BBC Text extract:

    "What I find interesting is the way United have warmed up. They did pure attacking play for 20 to 25 minutes - and it's clear they're not going out to soak up pressure. Antonio Valencia will be expected to play as a right winger, not a right-back."

        Seemingly a no brainer, but in option 2 you still have a captain choice. I will hesitate much more to capt ade or hazard even though I believe they will out score the other 2 on average.

                Held our own against two top 5 teams. Hopefully can nick a point against Arsenal this weekend, then our fixtures start to clear up. I reckon Villa, Burnley and West Brom / Palace / QPR will go down. What about yourself?

    because its a game, and also because im impatient, i want to WC. here's my team:

    bego/gilks
    ivanovic/wisdom/caulker/duff/bruce
    ramsey/fabregas/sterling/siggy/marney
    dzeko/costa/rooney

    pretty template as things go, but here's what i would want to WC to:

    krul/?
    ivanovic/wisdom/clyne/dier/huttom
    ramsey/fab/sterling/siggy/silva
    dzeko/naismith/rooney

    the big change, is obviously, removing costa. reasons for doing this are his high ownership and potential lack of explosiveness.

    am i mad? any other suggestions? thanks
