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 think another Man U loss would cheer a few people up! 😀 C'mon Sunderland!

      Very much involved in all of this. Chances left and right, although the ball seems to be getting eaten up in his feet when the attack is on the move (which is often).

          well according to my good self and nothing else really.
          Harry had a good season with Spurs, but I think what Pochettino achievewd with Southampton was more impressive, and he looks to be a step above AvB and Sherwood with Spurs.

      Lamela is class, very under rated simply because he had a bad injury prone previous season, he'll shine this year. Obviously safety approach would sway people towards Eriksen, very similar scoring potential I think. Not much will happen at spurs without one of them being involved.
