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.

    What does the figure "Rank" just over your team in "Points" mean? Why is it different from "Overall" on the right side?

    Manchester United @ManUtd · 86'- Time is running out at the Stadium of Light and, in truth, Sunderland look the more likely winners at the moment.

    an official club account tweeting that, is stupid.

    Judging by the performance, Id say United need a good 7 players before the end of the transfer window. At the current rate, I doubt thats going to happen.

    Buy: Vidal, Di Maria (almost done I hear), Blind, Hummels and a few to replace the below.

    Sell: Chicharito, Anderson, Nani, Young, Welbeck, Valencia, Cleverley, Smalling

    1 - One point from two games is Manchester United's worst start to a league season since 1992-93 (0 points). Sluggish.
