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.

    This team alright for next week

    Krul (Bego)
    Colo/Clyne Jones Cahill (Moore)
    Hendo, Siggy, Eriksen, Silva, Ramsey
    Rooney, Costa (Fletcher)
    Happy with the squad, no free transfers left, but suggestion for starting xi. Hendo always seems to play well against Spurs.

    Diouf to drop tonight?

    1. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      stop asking, noone knows

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Noone?

        Anyone got his number?

        1. Sweetpea
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          didnt think anyone would get it

      2. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'll keep asking until I get a proper answer.

        1. Sweetpea
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          hook line and sinker

  3. FPL Touches
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This is what happens when Woodward tells the football world that we can break the transfer record. I suspect the initial fee was 48m-55m and the rest was add-ons.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't care. We need quality. And he's top quality.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Need numbers ,

        A few young 15m -20m signings

        Not 1 or 2 50m big names

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's madness.

      2. FPL Touches
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed, two signings more to go hopefully

        1. Frank Black
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          United need some Hummels on the back and some good ol' Luiz Gustavo in front of that.

  4. Conal_H
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know the story with Austin? Dropping tonight so I want to sort him out

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hamstrunf

      1. Declan

        1. Aurora
          • 12 Years

          Hamstring even

    2. mr messi

      Who you bringing in?

  5. awgJose
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hey guys! I have 2 FT's and no obvious weaknesses in the team, so should I do

    A) Begovic to max 5.5
    B) Eriksen to max 8.5
    C) Chester to max 5.1

    1. piquiblanco
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Id keep Eriksen, Chester can be benched as he is only out for 1 game and Bego has 3 home fixtures fixtures from GW4 to GW8 🙂

  6. SG8
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2 Free transfers, what should I do? Considering just doing Bojan to Naismith and leaving it at that

    Krul Foster
    Jones Taylor Clyne Wisdom Rio
    Ramsey Mata Fab Sterling Marney
    Studge Rooney Bojan

  7. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is ADM a FPL prospect?

    He only got 4 goals...

    I know he got 17 assists too,

    BUT we have to expect a drop in these stats when you move to a worse (be honest) team, AND a harder league...

    Unless he is 9.0, I'm not getting him

    1. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Let him sign first.

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He is pretty much going to United. Fine to speculate now.

        But I have no idea whether he will be a decent prospect!

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      but without all those good players around to steal goals and assists

  8. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Justice for those who kept faith.

    Hazard,Lamela and Mata delivered. Jovetic brace coming up next. 😉 🙂

    1. Nice 2 Michu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'll be laughing at those who shipped out Jovetic last night, goal feat tomorrow night and he'll rise again!

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I can already feel it.

    2. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      well done pundit.

  9. Nice 2 Michu
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why did chadli play? Somebody injured?

    1. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

  10. Giroud U Kidding
    • 11 Years

    1. Nice 2 Michu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      3 he played quality!

      1. Giroud U Kidding
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Missed the game so Don't know. I take it that's a no

        1. bazrah99
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He missed the game too. Hardly touched the ball and gave it away when he did.

    2. Declan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😆

    3. Cak Juris

          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

  12. mojoindojo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    61 all out thanks to Mata(c). Nice green arrow coming 🙂

    1. Oz
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      well done for keeping faith with Mata (many foold didn't). I have him and Rooney who looked average today, but I really want to keep them for the good fixtures coming up.

  13. binyamin44
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy / Mata / Ramsey / Costa / Hazard Hutton / Wisdom / Foster / Sterling

    need 0.3 for next week, may I hope of rises ?

    Courtois
    Jones Dier Vlaar Hutton Wisdom
    Siggy Fab Sterling Ramsey (4.5)

    RMT and suggest if you would do a FT and what line up to start

  15. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Di Maria will be a great wing back

      Wow. Knew you were a troll but you're also incredibly stupid 😆

      1. Mr_Partridge
        • 11 Years

        Panic at the disco

        1. Somalion
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Good one champ, we all think you're REALLY funny.

    2. FPL Touches
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Literally the only comments you post are anti-Utd.

      If you are a Liverpool fan I can understand your bitterness since you've won fk all for years

      1. Frank Black
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Well, to be fair, at least Liverpool plays great football. Anyway, Di Maria might improve the situation a little but the defensive situation still sucks and the attitude of the entire team is very Moyes-like.

        1. bazrah99
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Give it time, transition is not a quick fix.

  16. Mind över Mata

    Wakka Wakkas - replied to you on the last page mate

    1. Wakka Wakkas
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I see now.

      I'd still downgrade him to a good nailed 4.5. I like PVA. Then bank the money and wait it out. You will use the cash eventually.

  17. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Di Maria cost United over double what Madrid payed for Beckham 😉

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 11 Years

      20 years ago

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐

        Haha I know I'm only messing 🙂

    2. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      im curious to know how they will fit him in and what happens to mata.

      1. Frank Black
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Di Maria is a right wing, Mata plays in the hole.

    3. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Different times

    4. bazrah99
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He also cost roughly £10m more than Luiz! Bargain!!!!

  18. Ace Ventura
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    De Gea / Myhill
    Filipe Luis / Wisdom / Caulker/ Naughton/ Duff
    Sterling / Ramsey / Mata / Eriksen / Sigurdsson
    Rooney / Costa / Bojan

    DDG --> Krul
    Luis --> Cahill? Dier?

  19. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    rooney 23.1% captaincy (2nd highest)

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😯 😯

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Should be scoring against f**king Sunderland!!!!

    3. pundit of punts

      Nice.

  20. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which team do you think has done the best in the transfer window so far?

    1. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      definitely chelsea

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No idea

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      United. 😉

    4. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chelsea have strengthened where they needed to.

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly my thinking. Other clubs have fumbled around and not patched up the holes.

    5. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      chelsea... sold D.luiz

    6. Nice 2 Michu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      West brom, signed alot of defenders and have only conceded one, so far so good.

    7. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Newcastle buying Cabella.

    8. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      City or Chelsea.

      Both addressed the issues they needed to to solidify their challenges.

    9. El_Matador
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chelsea

    10. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Happy with ours so far

      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Selling Luiz for 50m was the best bit of business I think I've ever seen. Just opened up all possibilities for them in the market and to comply with FFP..

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That would be up there alright..

      2. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I can't help being suspicious about the whole business

    12. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chelsea by far. They also made the signing of the summer, namely Cesc.

    13. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chelsea, although Liverpool have done well as well imo.

  21. Not Irish

    1. piquiblanco

    Who do I need to ship first, Young, Austin or Begovic?

    1. bazrah99
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Young

      1. bazrah99
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        After that performance, Young should never wear the shirt again.

  28. CoolBeans

    • 14 Years

    Sorry for asking this again.
    Did anyone watch the full Spurs game? How did Chadli look overall? Worth downgrading Eriksen?

    1. Giroud U Kidding

      1. Not Irish

        11 years, 3 months ago

        It certainly has. Everyone wants answers yet most don't offer them in turn.
