The Dugout Discussion – Hull City v Manchester City

After last week’s reduced fixture list we are back to a full schedule of games for Gameweek 30. The action starts at the KC Stadium where Hull City square up to Manchester City, who will be looking to bounce back after their Champions League exit in midweek.

Today’s match is the first of three that City have in hand over their title rivals Chelsea and a victory is vital if they hope to catch Jose Mourinho’s charges. Going into the match just five points outside of the relegation zone, Steve Bruce’s Hull will be looking for a strong finish to the season to ensure they avoid being dragged into a relegation dog fight.

Our Twitter feed offers up all the news from today’s teamsheets, while those wishing to indulge in some real-time exchange of views can do so via our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

  I hovered over captaining him in UFPL, hope it's not another 7 weeks before he does it again.

You can't write this stuff. Much of FFS caves and finally buys Yaya, and then Silva runs the game. Yaya loves trolling this place 🙂

Got lucky today bringing Silva in before Yaya ahead of the DGW...very lucky. What was wrong with Yaya, he looked decidedly average today and off early, is he carrying a knock ?

Can't catch a break this season! Kompany red, owned Dzeko and Silva for weeks on end and nothing but blanks yet they choose today to perform. Lukaku (C) is bound to fail at this point. Sorry guys

Having Silva finally pays off. I got rid of Yaya for Silva on my wildcard, and I've paid for it. Hopefully this is the beginning of a turnaround.

Last few games I've seen Silva he was missing sitters or not shooting in great positions. This, combined with Aguero being out, put me off him for the run in. Really frustrating as, when fit, I've owned and really rated him as an FPL option for most of the season.

Mirallas, your target for today is 14 points...

  Owning yaya makes sense to me, and still does. He still got 6 points. If their strikers aren't performing I expect yaya to do something,

  sadly, Suarez and Sturridge leave us with one spot and City, Utd, Everton etc all have players vying for one berth.
  
  I agree, Wakey. Jelavic looked great and Long will also be worth a punt, but there just sing room in the FPL for these sorts of gambles.
  
  UFPL is richer for these sorts of options

    Aye..Definitely one for those stuck for a decent budget
    
    Jelavic Lukaku Suarez/Studge could easily bring home the bacon with their fixtures.
