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.

    chester suspended for only 1 game, probably best just to bench him

    1. Mulder
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Really? Why is it just one game? Great news

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        12 years, 2 months ago

        just saw on fpl

        suspended and back on 15th

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Only 3 if it's dangerous or violent

    2. Not Irish
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. If he changes status at the right time he may not even drop.

      1. Billy Gilmore
        12 years, 2 months ago

        He's got a whole week...almost certain to drop.

    3. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Dawson fee agreed though for Hull

      1. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Hull don't always play 3-5-2

      2. Not Irish
        12 years, 2 months ago

        He'll replace McShane.

  2. waltzingmatildas
    12 years, 2 months ago

    53 with Lovren to go...respectable?

    1. vova
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Good score IMO

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Dunno...

      I've got 49 with 3 to play.

    3. rickardinho
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah thats solid imo. Anything over 50 this gw with so few goals by big teams is good.

      I've got 42 with Sterling and Lovren left. Hoping to reach 55ish

  3. BenDavies
    12 years, 2 months ago

    60 all out, one more point than last week. If i get one more point than the last every week i could win this

  4. Mr_Partridge
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Would your rather play for Man U or be a postman??

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Play for Man U.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Too many papercuts in the alternative 😉

  5. Irish Madridista ⭐
    12 years, 2 months ago

    If Aguero goes rampant tomorrow, how does this look for a "Kun Emergency Strategy"

    Begovic * Given
    Ivanovic * Clyne * Caulker * Chester * Moore
    Ramsey * Cesc * Siggy * Tadic * Lamela
    Costa * Rooney * Naismith

    Chester -> Dummett
    Cesc -> 8.0 mid (Go with only Costa + Ivanovic from Chelsea)
    Rooney -> Kun

    1. vova
      12 years, 2 months ago

      How many hit points?

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        12 years, 2 months ago

        -4

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      There is no need to bring in an unfit player who plays Chelsea and Arsenal in his next 3.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        12 years, 2 months ago

        "If he goes rampant" and gets like a brace and looks good though...

  6. piquiblanco
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I'm surely happy with United score and all, but just noticed that Lamela gets no baps for today! 🙁

  7. Wakka Wakkas
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I can't keep both Rooney and Mata.

    I have 2 FT. May do Mata to Lamela and upgrade somewhere else. Perhaps chambers to Bertrand.

    1. Kingston
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Why can't you keep both?

      1. Wakka Wakkas
        12 years, 2 months ago

        They won't both justify their prices. Just can't determine which to get rid of. Which is the weaker link.

        A lot of MF options this year. Can possibly get matas output from someone 8.0 or lower.

  8. qstav
    12 years, 2 months ago

    umm why is hazards price falling?

    1. Jump in Micah
      12 years, 2 months ago

      is it?

    2. fedolefan
      12 years, 2 months ago

      don't think it is. It's been the same since the GW began

    3. bazrah99
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Lots downgrading to Fabs, chasing points.

  9. Your Mum's Athletic
    12 years, 2 months ago

    keep, don't captain, sell any other man u players, evaluate after

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      12 years, 2 months ago

      reply fail to rooney question on last page

  10. Jump in Micah
    12 years, 2 months ago

    62pts with 2 remaining - slightly above average?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      For sure.

    2. piquiblanco
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Well above imo

      1. Jump in Micah
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yay, green arrow incoming then! I guess there's quite a few Rooney captainers

  11. Your Mum's Athletic
    12 years, 2 months ago

    @evilkagawa 13s

    I say to Gaal "no Shinji, no win-ji" Kagawa unconscious. 3 minute!

  12. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 2 months ago

    63 with Matas bonus points and -2 from Chester

    Nobody left to play, not too bad but only 10 from 3 today

    1. vova
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Only...

      I have 55, but got 0 from 3 today. Sterling to go.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No wonder you're happy with Mata XD

  13. HuttonDressedasLahm
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Let's all triple up on Utd, they've got great fixtures AND form

    🙁

  14. DVassell
    12 years, 2 months ago

    43 with Aguero(c) and Sterling to go

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nice captain pick 😀

  15. Andre W
    12 years, 2 months ago

    68 with Mata baps. Is that good on here?

    1. MJ6987
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yes very

  16. Sz21
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Lamela and Mata worth keeping after today's showing??

    Next up Jovetic.. I reckon he will need to get the chop come tomm midnight.

  17. MJ6987
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Time to lose United players? Not scoring enough and not keeping CSs

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I'm keeping. I'm a sucker for punishment.

  18. Crazy Joe
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney is the 1st player for me not to deliver for me this week. 🙁

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Ruined the full house. 9 out of 10

      1. gravless
        12 years, 2 months ago

        the irony

      2. piquiblanco
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Shame 🙁

  19. super zlatan
    12 years, 2 months ago

    So if mata gets 3 baps I will be on 59 with dzeko to go.

    I guess it's ok. But not great.

    1. Bubz
      12 years, 2 months ago

      55 with Jovetic to go for me. Meh.

  20. Nice 2 Michu
    12 years, 2 months ago

    58 with Raheem and Jovetic, may the goals begin!

    1. Debauchy
      12 years, 2 months ago

      54 here , same 2 to go

  21. wimiw
    12 years, 2 months ago

    why didn't giroud price drop last night? will he drop tonight?

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Probably will drop

  22. pundit of punts
    12 years, 2 months ago

    As Rooney owner, I'm happy with his blank. Plenty of Rooney captainers out there.

    1. Mr_Partridge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Delighted. Shit for club and country

      #class

  23. Syd.
    12 years, 2 months ago

    At least United face the 3 promoted sides next.

    They should be comfortable games.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      12 years, 2 months ago

      For the promoted teams?

  24. The Machine
    12 years, 2 months ago

    No dispossessions for mata. Same number of fouls as those around him baps wise

    Should be okay for 3 baps

    1. Bubz
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers

  25. Wiseguy
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Bye bye Mata and Rooney..

  26. rozzo
    12 years, 2 months ago

    So I took Mata out for Fab last week, not bothered by Mata's goal, of course he will score points this season, but Fabregas will surely score more, that's the way I see it

    1. Lucy.
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Wise.

    2. Denis Denis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Agree

    3. Jump in Micah
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not so sure he will outscore him - Fabregas looks like he might be playing quarter back quite a bit, collecting the ball from defence and sending it to Hazard, Oscar and Schürrle

    4. getfunky
      12 years, 2 months ago

      yep that's why i started with him.

    5. Gooner Kebab
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hm, Mata delivered the fantasy points. Not sure what's the fuss of taking him out? Burnley next.

  27. DIegoCosta19
    12 years, 2 months ago

    63 with sterling and dzeko left?

    if only i kept mata and didnt get jones lol

    1. DIegoCosta19
      12 years, 2 months ago

      good?

  28. vova
    12 years, 2 months ago

    55 with Sterling to go.

    1. Tim Canterbury
      12 years, 2 months ago

      44 with Sterling Sturridge Gerrard to go

  29. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone have a summary of the Spurs game?

    Lamela and Eriksen play well?

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers man

  30. Irish Madridista ⭐
    12 years, 2 months ago

    No more Lamela baps 🙁

    1. piquiblanco
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, sucks.
