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.

      I'm thinking that if still 0-0 at half time may bring on Bojan and hopefully he'll give us a couple of goals... or will come on with 10 mins to go, get nothing bar the one point and stop my first sub coming on...

    Old new now, but how is that a red card...

    It's all about whether it was a clear goal scoring opportunity, and if you watch it back, there's another hull player easily able to cut the ball out based on the heaviness of the touch. He definitely wouldn't have scored had he not been fouled, and it wasn't a dangerous tackle, so I don't see how that's a red.
