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.

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is the rest of your defence that bad then?

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

        No I benched Lovren

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

      Probably! Happy to see my subs score well too though

    5. Repetive Expletive
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Of 3 million players, definitely yes

    6. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Coming off the bench.. Woo

  2. Rivaldo Izback
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Gutted I havnt done the Giroud > Ade Transfer.. 🙁 I was sooo tempted.. 🙁

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

    just need to decide who goes first. bego or caulker

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Caulker

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

      Same boat

    3. Adro3
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Thinking Bego...City next week! Caulker still a potential threat in the air again st Sunderland next week

  4. Runci
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I have 2-2 Stoke and QPR player (Wilson, Bojan, Caulker, Mutch). I'm gonna have a really bad time to figure out who to buy.

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

      Did Caulker>Clyne yesterday but still have Bojan and Mutch - Bojan first one to go for me (looking poor) and still have one FT left but not sure who to bring in, not really feeling the Naismith bandwagon. Not sure how Mutch doing today

  5. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Glad I steered clear of the qpr airways

  6. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Chester owners keeping or selling?

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

      Keeping, assuming it's just a 1 match ban.

    2. Cobby
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping

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

      Keeping probably.

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

      Might as well keep.

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

      Wasnt going to play him next weekend so I'll keep

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

    Eriksen has 20 mins to provide me a reason for keeping him in the team

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

      Same. There needs to be something from a dominant performance like this.

  8. Cobby
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Will Naismith play from now on or rotation risk?
    Want to go Nugent out Naismith in.

    1. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He'll play until Barkley comes back.

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

      With Barkley out I think Naismith would be a very good choice

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

        Cheers.

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

    How much do we think Balotelli and Di Maria will come in at? And who here would consider drafting them in?

    1. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      8.0 and 10.5

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No chance Balo is 8

        1. Frank Black
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He's shite and there's no chance he's worth the same as Dzeko and Bony.

          1. Reeker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Still won't be 8.0 I can guarantee you

      2. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Balotelli will aye be 8.0. 9.5 I'd say. 10.5 seems a bit expensive for Di Maria, probably 9.5-10.0

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

      8.5, 9.5
      Nah

    3. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      10 and 10

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      10 & 10.5

    5. Runci
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      9.5, 9.5

  10. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Do we think Bruce will come on. If he doesn't I get wisdom points.

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He might bring him on if they are still trying to hold onto this lead with 10 to go

      1. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I know it really hurts my balls

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

      He is not on bench

    3. dodger49
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Exact same position here…

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

    Is lamela stil on da pitch?? Any chance he'll score?

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

      It's spelt "the"

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        🙂 word

  12. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So how many people will come on later tonight and say:

    "Didn't catch the game. But Spurs scored 4 and Erikson didn't do anything. Should I drop"

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen has played well

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        CDMs play well but that doesn't translate to PFL points.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is it a quiz ?...376...

  13. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If PvA doesn't feature I get wisdom of my bench.

    Am I clutching?

      11 years, 3 months ago

  16. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

  17. Fpl Old Guard
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lamela dn Erikson is a bit like Fabregas and Hazard - one week one of the two will do well, the next week the roles will be reversed

    1. nadman89
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      great comparison , eriksen and hazard both probably on pens though

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

        Adebayor for spurs isn't it?

      2. Fpl Old Guard
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I think ade is on pens, Erikson will be on freekicks though

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    3. Redhulkster
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sold got rose. As i cannot keep a 5 million def and play him expecting only 1goal in 6-7 games ..

    4. Zombie

      2. dribbler

  21. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who is gonna shoot through the roof this week pricewise?

    Can't see many regulars jumping on some of these wagons tbf...

    1. Lucky Number Ones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dier and adebayor imo. Wondering how to get in dier, 5.1 is essentially 5.5.....

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You don't think Lamela? He has to overcome deficit first, but after that...

        1. Lucky Number Ones
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Sure. i got him, so im happy! But People need to get rid of the good 9 mills or Eriksen to get him. Not sure whos being traded out? Ade is easy to get from giroud, dzeko, bony...

  22. Overlordleo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Verthongen or Dier, who should I go for? Dier is in excellent form but Verthongen seems like the safer pick.

    1. Repetive Expletive
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      steer clear, tough fixtures on horizon

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

        It is either a spurs defender or Azpilicueta/Terry/Cahill in for Shawcross since Shawcross might start to lose some ownership soon.

  23. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Krul and Wisdom on bench Bego and Blowjan starting ??? Bego assist and Blowjan goal coming in 5min !!!

  24. Red-United
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What's the deal with this Eric Dier bloke?

    I assumed he was your standard centre back...checked his wiki page and someone has put him down as a striker! haha

    Do we see more goals from him? Or have I missed the boat?

    1. nadman89
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      well one was on a corner and the last min one vs west ham was just weird but im gonna ido debuchy -> dier

  26. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago
