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.

    Gameweek 4 is going to cause me so many headaches. Ramsey > Sterling is so crazy right?

      It is.

    Mata sellers still trying to convince themselves that selling him was the right thing to do as they don't want to double up on united attack.....

    ... Ahead of bur QPR lei and WHU

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years

          United don't play European games.

      I'm a Mata owner and I'm not convinced I want double Utd 😛

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        I'm with you...So many more goals to share out at other teams...

    3. MJ6987
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      It's been credited to Mata so that's the end of the Mata

  3. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    I love Mata. 😀 😀

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Come on van persie get me a couple second half!

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      You are the RVP owner?!! I didn't know they existed.

  5. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    People trying to convince themselves it was an OG, massive LOL.

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      What is this about?
      Is there even anything in it?
      Or is it just scare mongering?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Scaremongering and jealousy, I'm afraid. 🙂

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Delusional non owners claiming Larsson scored it.

    2. Pedram
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      It was an OG, you're being delusional.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        😆

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Agreed, very funny.

    4. MJ6987
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      It's been credited to Mata so that's the end of the Mata!

    5. Pea Soup
      • 15 Years

      What a bunch of loons

  6. Wakka Wakkas
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    As a Mata sn Rooney owner I don't think I can fathom keeping both.

    I think I will keep Mata and sell Rooney for Balotelli. Thoughts?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Yeah do it.

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Silly.

    3. HVT
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Rooney > Aguero?

      1. Pea Soup
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        This

    4. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Bad idea imo

    5. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I'm think Mata for Fabregas. Glad I've found another Mata/Rooney owner with doubts.

    6. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Personally if you are selling one I'd sell mata. Lots of good midfielder to choose from. Definitely wouldn't get balotelli yet.

      Really you should keep both though.

    7. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Aguero, yes. Balotelli, no.

  7. Hazard for Ballon D'or
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Dozed off sometime in that first half and woke up about 40 minutes. Saw the scorers but how are united and specificly Rooney mata and rvp playing??

  8. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    So, I have Eriksen, bojan and Jones

    Does anyone have them + Chester? Just to make me feel better 😀

  9. VougieDipond
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Utd's Midfield is so lightweight so they go and sign Di Maria.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      That is not confirmed.

      1. VougieDipond
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        its as good as its well beyond rumour stage

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Shhhh, let them off. 🙂

    3. Mr.Irwin
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Who played in midfield for Real last year

    4. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      £65 million 😯

    5. Licky
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      It'll be even worse then though.

    6. davies
      • 12 Years

      Big name trying to please the fans

    7. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Can play in midfield

  10. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Sunderland have been the better side.

  11. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Will Chambers play vs Leicester?

    1. mdm
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      no

  12. Sir_Dunc
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Best < 6.5m midfielder (not siggy)?

  13. Pea Soup
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Fletcher to get the winner 🙂

  14. Balotellitubbies
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    I will be transferring in Balotelli soon. I have no choice in the matter. 😐

    1. 4vets
      • 16 Years

      😆

  15. sminkypinky
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    The baps of Spurs game totally different from when i looked at them at the end of the match. Now Lamela is out of baps. Is that correct or am i missing something?

    1. Hazard for Ballon D'or
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Correct. Happened with hazard yesterday as well. They get minus for dispossession siggy think.

      1. Hazard for Ballon D'or
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        I not siggy not sure how that happened.

      2. sminkypinky
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Well that's awesome... *¥£$+$++¥¥$^!!

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Mata sellers just admit it. You made an awful mistake, a terrible terrible transfer. You are completely clueless in your decision and are now trying to justify it

    1. Balotellitubbies
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      omg

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Dramatic much?

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Have you never met Bemba??

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 26 days ago

          Yeah, but I thought he had calmed down a bit 😆

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            12 years, 26 days ago

            Not at all 😆

    3. united68
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I never had him but all I would say is that you don't win by being a 100% sheep.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Oh dear, you still banging on anout this, it was 1 goal, get a grip.

    5. Not Irish
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I didn't sell him.

    6. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      They'll be even more shattered after the second half. 😀

    7. mgilbert86
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Good for those who kept him but honestly youve posted this same thing several times now, stfu

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Chester suspended for only 1 game. I think I will just bench him next week

    8. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I'm happy enough with my decision to sell him. I think Fabs will outscore him over the next 5 weeks.

      Ok, this shit is now spam

    11. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Are you a teenager yet?

    12. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Zzzzzzz........

    13. Fishwizard
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I made a terrible decision doubling up on a mid-table side's attack at the start of the season. Taking Mata out fixed that.

  17. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    I know he scored but Mata looks a bit lost in this system. Both Rooney and Fletcher keep running into his space.

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Yeah think I might let him go for Fabregas.

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        I'm still keeping for now, LVG might change the formation when Di Maria arrives.

    2. Not Irish
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      He's a liability. If we were on the front foot most of the time it would be one thing. But considering the black hole in CM behind him, we need someone in there with work rate. Also need some pace with Roon and RVP.

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Agreed. Di Maria could play that role effectively, but i think LVG will switch to a 4321.

  18. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Can't believe people made a transfer that left them with no Mata 😯

  19. dr manhattan
    • 17 Years

    you guys take this fantasy football stuff pretty seriously don't you?

    1. The Hound
      • 14 Years

      Says him on fantasy football forum.....

      1. dr manhattan

        just reading some of the comments in total amazement really

    2. Mr.Irwin
      • 13 Years

      Says a member

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      It's serious business.

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

      Youre even a member

      1. dr manhattan
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        So what? The members features are reallly good I think.

        Doesn't mean I want to come on here and write inane "Is so and so going to score more points than such and such" type comments all day though. That's a whole other level of obsession!

    5. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Hell yes.
      We're sad old gits with no social life.

      Get off the site then

        And you are?

  20. The Hound
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Glad kept the faith with mata.... Why didn't Austin play? Prob gonna do Austin to Naismith now.....

    1. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 14 Years

      Injured.

  21. mgilbert86
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Can see sunderland scoring another

  22. KOKAK
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    United fans should plan to change sides this season! You cannot be supporting a side that is going to loose every single GW!

  23. CellinoArmy
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    LAMELA LOST ALL BAPS, WHAT A JOKE!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? FPL system needs changing, BPS are just a joke most of the time...

    1. Giroud U Kidding
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Who got the Baps??

      1. CellinoArmy
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Adebayor (3)
        Chadli, Dier (2)

    2. SW6
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Adebayor goal and assist, Chadli two goals, Dier goal and CS.

      Hardly ridiculous

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Totally agree

      2. CellinoArmy
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Think too much weighting to CS though.

    3. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I was a bit cross with hazard only getting 1 compared to aspi 2 yesterday.

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Joke system. They just can't do it right. Every year they get it wrong.

    4. The Machine
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      He didn't deserve them. 3 better players in that game

    5. VougieDipond
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Hazard robbed yesterday and now this. I thought they were meant to be taking them away from defenders and in favour of creative players.

    6. sminkypinky
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      This.so.much.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        I might be a little bias though. 😉

    7. Pea Soup
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Are they a joke all the time or just when your players don't get them?

      1. CellinoArmy
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        Well, tbh I got 2 for azpi yesterday, and that was ludicrous...

  24. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    RoyBoy, if you're there and listening can you come and have a word? 🙂

  25. SW6
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Looks like I'll reach 70 points this weekend :mrgreen: After 42 last GW it's very much needed.

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Good work! 🙂

    2. VougieDipond
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      same on 66 at mo with rooney and Jovetic left.

    3. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Same, especially happy with my wisdom and wanyama 11 points combined off the bench!

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Well done. Might get you top 250k - no promises mind.

  26. The Machine
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Hopefully mata gets nothing else, including baps

    1 point vs .2

    Fabregas knee jerk success

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      + the value of a FT

    2. The Finnisher
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      You have only made 0.2 if you planned on doing Mata to Fabregas in the future. Cant do shit with the 0.1 you have 'earnt' so far

    3. Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      How Mata scoring more than Fab can be a sucess?

    4. Not Irish
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Indeed. He'd really have to pull in a haul to make anyone second guess I think. There's still the issue that neither the team or Mata look lively at all.

    5. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      lol

      Mata will also rise now. How is that a sucess?

  27. Pea Soup
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    After seeing the replays on Sky again... there is literally no doubt.

    Goal for Mata.

    Anyone who disagrees either hasn't seen the reply or they don't know who Mata is.

    1. Lucy.
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      And Mata doesn't look a lot like Larsson.

    ManU looks very shaky and really struggling with their injuries. And now Smalling is also injured.
