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.

    Di Maria going to slot right in or come off the bench? Really big fan of him and think he will get a lot of assists

    It's not that I didn't 'want' Mata, I just didn't want to double up on Man Utd's attack, so I got rid of the falling value player rather than the rising value player.

    Stop lolling at me please

      this is entirely reasonable. I kept on the basis that I couldnt think of a move I wanted to make for him and he had a decent next fixture. However, going forward (at the moment at least) im not sure I want 2x Utd
