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.

    why not Giggs in? LVG and him deep in discussion on touch line, Giggs saying please LVG I can win it for us and van Gaal giving him a look in disbelief: 'go fly a kite'!

    I'm a United fan. Last season was tough. But some of the players, namely Young (who was just booked for a, you guessed it, dive), Cleverley and Valencia are awful. Seriously, woeful, as in, wow you can't even cross the ball. I would be surprised if they were in a team like Leicester (no offence - you guys looked good vs Chelsea) but these guys should be made to return all the money they have ever made from football based on their performances over the last year and a half.

    LVG was red hot coming off his stint with the Dutch national team and the undefeated pre-season. It looked like he was going to maximize what United had while steadily remaking the team with expensive transfers.

    So far this season, the side has looked listless and worse than when Moyes was coaching them last season.

    I didn't see this coming.mi knew they had some holes, but still thought they would be a top 4 side.
