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.

    Who would be the perfect back 3 in your opinion? For me, it's:

    Ivanovic Hummels Vertonghen

            I don't think he's that bad, I was a bit saddened by the bashing of players that are a bit unknown, but I don't think he's good enough for the PL.

            Fair enough, but it's certainly not paranoia. An ability to look at things from another perspective in this case with a little bit of factual history may stop you falling into the the massive ignorant arrogance trap that many fall into. This is not a dig but just an observation over the years, until certain facts are pointed most non'-Scots are oblivious to why we may have an apparent 'chip'.
            Hay ho, not the place for this and as I say , not a dig either.
