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.

    From BBC

    "GOAL - Tottenham 2-0 QPR - Eric Dier (30 mins)
    He's a good un! Eric Dier scores for the second successive match as he evades his marker - QPR new boy Leroy Fer - and heads home Erik Lamela's corner at the near post. Cue a flood of people transferring this goalscoring defender into their Fantasy Football teams."

    Oh hey Demi, Sold Diouf for Naismith last night.

    Sorry mate 😳

    but now I have money freed up to upgrade a defender 🙂

    Stoke creating anything?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No

  5. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Is Dier playing RB?

    1. loff
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Replacing Naughton

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        is he nailed?

    3. Willis.
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yesh

  6. SW6

    I bet whoever started that Caulker bandwagon is hiding away 😆 Glad I was never tempted in the slightest.

    1. djenzio
      • 11 Years

      same. cue Dier wagon

    2. Zep
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Next week is when he comes alive...

      Anyone that played him today is silly...

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Who?

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Fail

    3. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I doubt anybody is seriously concerned by QPR conceding away to Spurs.

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Didn't really understand it tbh.

      He'll probably score now I said that.

    5. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      It is only GW2 and no one was expecting anything close to a CS for spurs away.
      The interest was based on a very good goal threat, which based on GW1 at least, he still has this season.

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I guess, but 5.0 for a QPR defender! Madness still.

    6. NissA
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I didn't quite see the appeal in him, being 5.0 playing for a crap team. Then again, today isn't the day one would expect him to excel, lets see how he fares next week.

    Looks like we have found a replacement for chester

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Whoops zero in the bank. .1 short as always

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Chester is banned for one game not three

  8. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    Come on Caulker!

    Lamela on corners instead of eriksen?

  11. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Definitely time for a change from Stoke.

    Whelan, Sidwell & N'Zonzi in midfield won't break down the Hull defence, with none of them particularly creative. I'd bring on Bojan in the hole.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes ... but will Sparkie?

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Expect to see Banjo come out for the second half 😉

      The game is set up for him IMO

    3. 420king

      noooooooooo, please no. i got wisdom on the bench

  13. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just seen Chester red :'(

  14. Frank Black
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I'm not going to sell Chester right now. I was planning to replace Caulker with Bertrand and that's going to be my FT. Next week i'll have Terry, Bertrand and one between Chambers and Dummett, probably the latter rather than the former. Don't take a hit for a DF, people.

  15. Syd.

    Need a defender

  16. Tin of Directors
    • 16 Years

    Begovic has touched the ball for the first time in about 20 minutes

  17. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years

    Wow...

    Anyone else got both Chester and Dier? Mixed emotions here.

    1. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Probably 1

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    How many games chester is banned for?

  20. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Chadli wagon

  21. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    once match is finished and Dier doesn't get injured Ward to Dier seems a good move to make right?

  22. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    lamela - chadli !

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    YES LAMELA

  24. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Lamela!

    1. Tin of Directors
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      3-0?

  25. Microeconomics
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    LAMELA AGAIN! Where are you Eriksen 🙁

  26. Sánchez
    • 13 Years

  30. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Will Dier start when Davies/Naughton are back? Surely not?
