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.

    People are so reactionary... Eriksen is still a great option...

    The game hasn't even finished yet FFS...

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      How is he playing? I missed the first half.

      1. Zep
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He's played well from what I've seen... (switching between both games)

        Could've easily have had a FK goal and an assist for that shot Ade should have scored...

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks. Holding for now.

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

      he could have had a goal and assist already

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

        shoulda woulda aaah crap my final league position is 200k +.

    3. Zep
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      How the feck is Eriksen a fail?

      Only 45mins played...

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

        0 goals/assists in 45 minutes X 2 = 0 😛

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

      Eriksen looking great tbh

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

      Eriksen hasn't failed yet. Game still being played.

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

    if dier gets an assist and clean sheet as well as his goal today...

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Well, if he gets a CS, he will get 3 BPS.

      So he'll be on 15. I think another assist is greedy.

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

        dier captain anyone

    1. Demí
      • 14 Years

      Kaboul

  6. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What this second half needs is a Lamela goal.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Or two..

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

        I won't complain 😉

    2. Vpan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      *Eriksen

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

      Or a red card... 😉

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

      *2

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

      I'll allow a Lamela goal if I can have a Caulker goal

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

        Deal

  7. Tin of Directors
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Did Diouf just do that??
    How crap is he???

      Unlike your links 😉

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

      Rio has been awful. His marking cuased them to concede last week too.

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

    A PvA goal would really make my day.

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

      This and a cleanie 🙂

  10. El Duffman
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dropping Diouf who's my thrid choice forward unless he scores in the second half then banking the = money to upgrade other area's of the pitch , not really sure who to pick up instead. Naismith is the clear option but whats yours thoughts on other budget/Cheaper forward like Chamakh, Brown Ideye or Sakho (WHU) ?

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

    Caulker begovic fail. Need utd to save me

  12. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    looks like QPR are going 4 at the back, surely can't be any worse

  13. Vpan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen

    or

    Sterling

    long term?

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

      sterling to have more explosive fixtures, Eriksen to be more consistent week in week out is my guess.

  14. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hung on lamela last wk,a goal now and il b keeping him I thinks. Caulker and Davies(spurs) =no points and that's not good,2nd wk in a row.

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

    Arnautovic is actually useless

    1. Tin of Directors
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He is having a very bad day that is for sure.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lol arnautovic. So over rated here

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Unbelievable in Fifa, he's like a Ronaldo for a mid table team.

    2. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 14 Years

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

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

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    3. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years

      pochetino is a great manager though, too bad spurs are typically bottlers and shit

    1. Tin of Directors

      Good grief

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

      am hoping hull will tire and he gets a brace... although I also hoped England would win the world cup...

  24. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Silly YC for Robertson

  25. Thick Of It
    • 13 Years

    Will Harry dump the wing back system after this? They are getting battered.

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

      He needs to - doesn't have the CBs for it.

      Poch is getting those buys from last season going - fine fine manager.

  26. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Will Dummett lose his place soon? I need to replace chester. I have 5m, but if I don't need to spend it...

  27. Andre W
    • 11 Years

    Bojan. PLEASE do something

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

      haha, so so glad i dumped him for naismith. you could even say he played a big part in hulls goal by missing two easy tackles

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

    Commentator says Eriksen played with wisdom and poise so far, can I have some points for these please...

  29. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    The annoying thing is Hull are on for a clean sheet. Chester would have 6+ points but instead he has -2 😆

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just bad luck

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

      He won't get the CS points, hasn't played for more than 60 mins 😆

  30. BenDavies
    • 13 Years

    Need Mata and Jones to steal the show today. Rooney to keep quiet, despite owning him.

    1. DIegoCosta19

      suarez (C) for everyone was points inflation last year
