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.

      He's a liability. If we were on the front foot most of the time it would be one thing. But considering the black hole in CM behind him, we need someone in there with work rate. Also need some pace with Roon and RVP.

      You have only made 0.2 if you planned on doing Mata to Fabregas in the future. Cant do shit with the 0.1 you have 'earnt' so far

      How Mata scoring more than Fab can be a sucess?

      Indeed. He'd really have to pull in a haul to make anyone second guess I think. There's still the issue that neither the team or Mata look lively at all.

    After seeing the replays on Sky again... there is literally no doubt.

    Goal for Mata.

    Anyone who disagrees either hasn't seen the reply or they don't know who Mata is.

      And Mata doesn't look a lot like Larsson.

    ManU looks very shaky and really struggling with their injuries. And now Smalling is also injured.

      Unlikely. It was probably just not worth switching though.
