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.

            yeh he took them on one side only today but his free kicks are awesome. he seemed to drop deeper towards the end but i guess that was because they had no need to attack as much.

            thinking of Eriksen>Lamela myself because its easy and price purposes too, but think i may regret it...

          Him hitting the underside of the xbar
          Him passing the ball to adebayor who was 6 yards out
          His 2 good shots inside the box which could have gone in if it wasn't for some good defending.

            Chester's only out for 1 game, bit of a waste of a transfer. I'd rather get rid of Caulker tbh.

              Has Sunderland at home next week though. Better 5.0 than Rose?

                  Ok cheers. Will suck up the fall on Caulker and hope he bags a brace to double rise back!

                3 games for violent conduct, 1 game for professional foul.

                It's always been like that.

          How did Eriksen play? bit worried as he's one of my 2 "big hitters" in midfield. 4 goals and nothing for him is a bit worrisome

            Is it bad to have Krul/Eliott/Janmatt?

            I play Krul all games, Janmatt home games.
