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.

    Highest TSB% of the five big Spurs performers today is Dier at less than 10% so most managers will not have made much progress. These two final games are going to have a much bigger impact on OR.

    Just woke up and missed the games. Chester is dissappointing but had him since the start so a 13 point return over 2 weeks is still good lol. How long will he be suspended for?
    Also Dier would score again... Another point for the casuals who don't realize he probably won't be in the team in a week or two

    But yay Lamela

    Considerin Soton have looked poor and so have Newcastle(also DeJong has not had many minutes) im considerin a double up with Eriksen and Lamela. already have Eriksen and can swap Davis for Lamela 😯 .. or is there any other mid below 8 who stands out(i have siggy).

          Tadic playing forward as we know but no end product yet. deJong only played what 10 minutes last game? Could be a couple weeks before he gets a start. Could be goals in the Spurs v Pool game, think the double up isn't crazy when put into the context you are giving.
