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 was always going to get ugly on here if Mata scored.

    Many on here convinced themselves that Mata was a rubbish pick after just one (admittedly poor) game. I heard so much negativity towards Utd and him, I just had to switch off to avoid getting sucked into it and selling myself.

    I think the jury is still out on Man Utd, but one thing is for sure, Mata will continue getting points just like he did when we were crap under Moyes.

    I think all those who sold him rashly last week should buy him back. I want my 0.1 back 🙂
