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.

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

    Lol at knee jerkers trying to play the price game

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He could drop 0.5 and that's only the difference between Ferdinand and Caulker

      Price game is madness

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Me,

      Not too fussed about it, I can get him back next week if I want him.

      Chadli scored twice today.

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

      I did. Was always planning on getting rid of Fabregas after his fixture, don't have any other needed transfers. anyways and Mata has nice fixtures coming up.

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

      I would have if I hadn't had more pressing issues AND I would've still been happy about it having seen how Utd have played so far.

    5. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      o/ combined with a lack of faith in United and thinking Fabregas is a better player

    6. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      moi.

    7. Miami Monkey
      • 11 Years

      Me cuz I want Aguero

  8. dribbler
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I might have to invest in a more solid defence...sell DDG and buy Rob Green?

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

      Wait, What?

      • 15 Years

    Hey guys. I know FPL can be a pain at times especially with Chester and Bojan today, so I thought I might cheer you up.

    "Ooooooooohhhhhh,

    FPL can be such a pain,
    Especially when your travelling down the wrong lane,

    You want to watch the match,
    But there's always a catch,

    Mum calls you down for dinner,
    TV turned off as Van Persie scores the winner,

    Or Eriksen Lamela's assist,
    Which of course you just missed,

    Because your on fantasy football scout,
    And that's what it's all about,

    Your mate is giving Cleverly some stick,
    So you tell him to stop being such a pr*ck,

    Or when you transfer in Bobby Zamora 'for a joke'
    And then he misses a chance and you choke,

    Or the ball is planted on his head,
    And ends up lost somewhere in row Z,

    Ooh and you groan, how you groan...
    But you then realise your watching the best game the world has ever known.

    (Oh yay mata scored with a tap in...
    Get in!)

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    the kneejerkers got punished this week! chester and mata

    1. jdoyle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No rewarded. Sig, Fab, Costa, Dier...

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

        hardly rewrded for those players bar dier! they got bigger scores the first week and 6 points for costa/fab was dissapointing imo given the fixture

    2. vova
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I benched Chester last week and played him this week. I do deserve Mata scoring for being a knee jerker and getting Sterling.

  17. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    i traded mata for sterling

  18. Piggs Boson

    All you fabregas knee-jerkers: what's the mata!?

  20. MarkFLR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I should really be trying to get Siggy, but can't bring myself to sell Mata, Fab, Lamela or Ramsey

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

      do it on fixtures? gets real hard for arsenal soon.
      unless you think Ramsey is "fixture proof"

  21. Spoiler
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Forgot to do mata to fab when price rise happened, blessing in disguise looking like

    In real terms there is just so many good midfield options right now

  22. Reeker

    BREAKING: Hull agree deal to sign Michael Dawson from Tottenham. #SSNHQ

    Might get rid of Chester after all

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't he replace Bruce

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

        Only when they play 3-5-2

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

    Spurs bonus updated and Lamela now has 0 🙁

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm afraid that it is not at all surprising. Sorry.

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

      Wow, that is an unexpected bonus.

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      still got 2 assists/ be happy.

  24. Reckoner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Selling Mata this week was still the right call.

    When he has got one more goal and one assist by the end of Utd's "amazing run of fixtures" people won't be quite so cheery.

      Probably a mistake - but this is a marathon.

  28. AlCapwnUK
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    shame young has to defend really, and is in a team that wants to win things. He could be a quality midfielder for a mid table side

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

      He WAS a quality midfielder for a mid-table side. Then he got greedy...

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

        true enough

  29. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mata was always too good a player to sell after one game...and he has set pieces too.

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

    United still great fixtures, what will the Mata sellers do?

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

      kneejerk him back in for a hit

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

        2 pointer next week then

    2. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have both Mata and Rooney and am trying to figure out whats best. Would love to keep both but am not sure its worth it.

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Take hit to get him back. 😉

      Then transfer him out again after one blank, then take hit...
