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.

      An observation on Lamela v Eriksen...

      Lamela has looked good today and is definitely playing generally further forward than Eriksen... but in this game Spurs found it far too easy to get the ball forward quickly, and that wasn't helping Eriksen, who was happy to come short more often to receive the ball, and when they broke forward quickly, he always seemed to be too far back to get involved with goals/assists etc...

      IMO Eriksen will do better in tighter games that require more build up play...

          I don't necessarily think, all the teams below them will be easy games...

          Lower half teams can be just as difficult to break down... just not QPR...
