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.

          He might this game, but Di Maria will negatively impact him unless LVG plays Di Maria wing back, which would be stupid and wouldn't get the best out of him and he would have more impact that Mata

              At least you didn't LOL at them, yet, even though you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Have Mata, hoping for points mainly so that he doesn't drop any more.

            I owned Caulker for his brace last year, and I am now realizing that I used up his portion of my lifetime supply of subpremium defender goals. Was playing with house money by owning him again this year but it could be time to leave the table and call it even.

            If he has not scored twice for you yet, hold on, because he gets into threatening spots all the time. It will happen soon.

              I was thinking Colocinni. Or Vlaar even though i have Cissokho. I don't ever plan on buying a Hull defender again they seem way to much of a risk, and now with them playing in Europe even more so.

            So I own Chester. I bench him for his 15 pointer, and play him for his -2.

            Caulker banging in the goals I see.

            Hopefully Lovren can continue his fine scoring form as well.

              he's had chances, should have scored at the end of the game

              only a matter of time, i'm giving him one more week before he is added to my 'move on asap' list
