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.

      Berahino
      Ramsey

      1. Zombie

        11 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly...even stats say that.

        & they all did that in 2 matches...Dier has played only 1.5 mind it

      I'll spare your blushes, instead. 😉

    Well on a net 0 from my three today so looking good

  5. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years

    Dier?

    1. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would love to put him in but I just don't believe he'll keep his place.

  6. CostaCoffee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Was Ferdy marking Dier

  7. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs have had an excellent game so far. It's fair enough to say 'the won't play QPR every week' but if they continue this style of play week in week out they'll cause trouble to most teams.

  8. SW6
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A Hull CS now would be so sweet.

  9. Towsor44
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Only been out 5 mins and Hull have scored and Lamela has a 2nd assist

    1. piquiblanco
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Do it again! 😀

  10. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    say someone captained chester would he get -2, -4 or -1 ?? lool

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      -4

    2. Adam
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      -4. You double the score.

    3. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      -4 currently

      1. DIegoCosta19
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        that is absolutely hilarious

        1. DIegoCosta19
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          thought it might get halfed in minus points

          has anyone ever captained a negative scorer here?

          1. Hamstergod
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            an extremely late reply.

            Yes, it's actually not that uncommon and some of the well known midfielders did get reds at some points. The most I remember was Walters, when he scored 2 own goals and missed a penalty, there was a number of people who had him captain and I think he was on -3 or -4

  11. Paz12
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on taking Manquillo in for Ben Davies for tomorrows game (can make subs in between days with TFF)?

    1. Hazard for Ballon D'or
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Take manquillo. Ben Davies has none so manquillo is an improvement.

  12. SW6
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Stoke need Crouch

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Indeed they do.

  13. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How did Chester get sent off?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Last man foul

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Idiot!

        1. Geordienufc1
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          It shouldn't have been a red...

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No such rule. 😉

  14. BenDavies
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Amazing as Stoke haven't kept clean sheets in two games they were overwhelmingly touted to. This the year Stoke let slip their status as clean sheet kings?

    1. Demí
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Think they let that slip last year

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Their defence was massively overrated on here.

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This! And I tried to tell everyone this pre-season

        1. samuelhzb
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Less clean sheets than Villa last year. Villa might just be the clean-sheet kings this year, wonder if Keane has anything to do with it

    3. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They were awful last year

    4. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Actually most people here expected them not to keep clean sheets, but at the same time to be more attacking, which hasn't happened yet, at least resultwise

  15. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lamela wagon imminent. Diers scores again. Chances he plays CB with Vert and displaces Kaboul when the fullbacks come back?

    1. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kaboul has had a good game so far (better than Vert) and I struggle to see it myself.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What is his natural position?

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I don't know tbh but I think he is a CB. Anyone can confirm?

        1. DIegoCosta19
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          hes a cb

          1. DIegoCosta19
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            like 50 pace on fifa lol

            reallyyyy

  16. Andre W
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Good job I made Lamela captain 😀

  17. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who's the best value at 7.5-8.0 out of Tadic, Lamela, and Eriksen?

    Hard to avoid the Spurs lads but QPR are making them look much better than they will look in their next few fixtures. Tadic has amazing fixtures too.. Hmmmmm

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Lamela

  18. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Chester was close to another rise 🙁

  19. @FuzzyWarbles
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    La-la-la-la Lamela

    La-la-la-la Lamela! Se necessito.

    Yo no soy marinaro. Yo no soy marinaro, soy Capitan, soy Capitan.

    La - La - Mela
    La - La - Mela
    La - La - Mela...

    La-la-la-la Lamela!

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah thanks for recommending Eriksen over Lamela 😡

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        for the season, Eriksen will outscore Lamlela.

        Come one, you saw the FK smash off the bar. an inch away from scoring. Ive got Eriksen too, not worried a bit.

  20. Shakshuka
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is it a 3 game ban for Chester? Kinda want to hang on to him..

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Think it's 3 yea

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        just 1. 3 games is for violent conduct only

    2. stufail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1 game only

    3. Ouch 8 point hit
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1 match only. 3 match bans are for violent conduct etc.

    4. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1 game. I will keep

  21. Raddy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Caulker to score 5 points.

    Appearance: 2 points
    6 goals conceded: -3
    1 goal scored: 6

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully. Would required QPR getting out of their own half though.

    2. Kip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i'll happily take that 🙂

  22. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Stoke defence on the scrapheap then?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Disappointing at 10 men Hull

    2. Hazard for Ballon D'or
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep following Gary busey.

  23. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Arnie to Chadli?

  24. Judas
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen is trolling me. One of my favourite players in the league. Come on

    1. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If his free kick was and inch or two lower you would be feeling different. Goals can come from any of Spurs front 4 - always going to be tough to predict where.

  25. Holding Mee Bong
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What did I say earlier about lamela? 🙂

    2 goals 1 assist will suffice

    Now 2 assists 2 goals will suffice

  26. Nice 2 Michu
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Erik > Chadli?

    1. Shakshuka
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I woudnt, Eriks been unlucky

  27. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Solid -2 after the first half

  28. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    ince played any decent?

    1. united68
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Alright, hard for him after the red card.

  29. ChampionoftheWorld
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So chester red card. Was it straight red or two yellows?

    How many games will he miss?

  30. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Chester owners?

    What do we do after crying?

    1. Ouch 8 point hit
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bench him for a week then get on with it? I like Hull defence this year and he's still good value.

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        100% This.

        But I am still crying for now as I also have Austin

      2. ChampionoftheWorld
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Consider robertson? Same price 4.5 but waste one trasnfer.
