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.

    Not bothered about selling mata, more about starting with an unbalanced side, i think because there's so few cheap strikers to choose from.

    for the next GW I have these two problems.

    My defense is Terry, Colocinni, Chambers, Chester, and Moore

    Offense: Rooney, Costa, Bojan

    Since chester won't be playing next week do I try and switch Chambers to a more nailed in player (or pray he can start against Leceister) or switch Bojan who may face a price drop this week?

      I also benched siggy GW1 thinking he'd not get a kick at old Trafford. im not going to be as stringent with subbing players depending on who they play from now on. years ago I dropped rvp as my captain as he was playing Chelsea at Stamford bridge but he then scored a hat trick. oh bummer! actually what do I know, as im typing this rodwells on my bench and has just scored!!!

    Players have got to have more faith with exceptional footballers like mata. just coz he did nothing vs Swansea doesn't mean he'd flop vs sunderland. so if costa doesn't score against everton next sat then still keep him

    Help needed gents on three fronts
    1. How did Erikson play today? I note he got no assists or goals so he may be getting hoiked from my squad.
    2. Is Girouds ankle roll serious?
    3. Assume Chester is banned for 3 games?

    Thanks to anyone who can shed light on my already rocky squad
