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.

    Comments on this plan please, do you think its a good plan? or a bad plan? and WHY?!

    2 Free transfers this week.

    Krul, Foster

    Azpili, Wisdom, Moore, Chester, PVA

    Ramsey, Schurrle, Sterling, Mata, Marney

    Rooney, Costa, Giroud.

    I'm thinking I'll trade Schurrle to Siggy now, like tonight or something.

    Then maybe trade Giroud out, Balotelli if hes quick, or Dzeko or someone else maybe.

    Thoughts please!
