Dugout Discussion – Hull City vs Man United

Hull City and Manchester United conclude the day’s events with a top of the table clash at the KCOM stadium.

Against the odds, both teams go into the tea-time kick-off having won both their opening matches, with Tigers boss Mike Phelan working miracles with a threadbare squad.

Not surprisingly, both Hull and United are unchanged. Whilst that could be down to very limited options in Phelan’s case, Jose Mourinho chooses to keep his winning side intact, with Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan again named on the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    56 points with 5 left to play, 3 points for my club and Wenger just confirmed Mustafi and Lucas Perez. Great day

      Boasting on a 'first' is a ban worthy offence 😉

      1. Wilshere Knowledge

        Tbf, he ONLY got 56 points. 😛 😉

        At least he was direct with his brag. None of the "is 56 good with 5 left to play" 😉

        What Les Bleus said. At least no humble brag.

          Smashing! Nearly goes to waste if Ibra gets 2.

            • 9 Years

            Maybe so, but it could at least make up for not owning him.

        Took a -4 and captained Alexis, he has a way with away matches.

    No Ibra 🙁

    C'mon Rooney, Pogba and Valencia 😎

        2.5m gets you Pogba instead of Redmond 😉

    2. Jamie_GAWA

      Are you tempted to get Ozil in for Pogba, I really am but if Pogba does well then I'm in quite a conundrum

      1. Wild Rover

        Let you know later, probably not

      Mahrez to Ozil and you'll be fine

  9. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Think I'm all set on this:

    Firmino + Morgan --> Barkley + Baines (-4)

    Wildcarding gw 6 probably so loading up on Everton players for now. Thoughts?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hahah, did you see any of the games today?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Not the Everton one no, but noticed that Baines was still on pens and free kicks, and Barkley had some great chances as well. Watched the Liverpool one though. Not great those upcoming fixtures for Liverpool. And I'm wildcarding gw 6 anyway

    2. bojack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Don't do it, Firmino got more points than Barkley today!

      If you must get some Toffees in, why don't you just do Morgan -> Williams?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        That is correct 😀 Could do Morgan to Baines as well. You really don't think I should sell Firmino for Barkley?

  10. sergioaguero67
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Has it become a compulsion to buy Alexis Sanchez now?
    Given he's playing striker?

    Will really have to compromise on some players then

    1. 7alwachi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      We just signed Lucas Perez, Alexis might go back to the left with Walcott on the right.

      1. Wurstmuncher
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        What about Giroud returning is he also a threat to Alexis playing striker any time soon?

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think so, but having an ars mid maybe.

      • Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        As Sanchez owner of seasons past he is bloody annoying and at this hefty price tag for this season he needs to be way more consistent. As often he is sent to the flanks and this greatly limits his returns. I think Ozil has greater value, seems to find himself way more central these days.

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah he's a great differential when on form, otherwise also prefer Ozil + better 4th mid.

      • DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Who to sell first? Got 0.8 itb

        A) Ramirez
        B) Tadic
        C) Both for -4

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          B. His price is going to plummet.

        24 Aguero captainer's in the Moderators league, 1 Ibra

      • Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Excited to see what it feels like to own Zlatan. Although if I didnt captain I dont even want him to score... right?

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Probably. Effective ownership must be well over 100%

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          True. With a Kun double tomorrow would result in a few green arrows

        7. Camp No No
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          You still want him to score, of course. You can't captain both Kun and Zlatan. So you wish one you captained to score 3+ and the other to be happy with just 2. Simple.

          1. goriuanx

              Btw, that's not even my comment, he's badly misquoting me, so I should probably bookmark my real comment just for the case.

          2. Mull
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            That seems logical but it doesn't work like that. You gain more on them if Ibra does nothing.

            1. Camp No No
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              The problem is, you're only counting it between two owners. There are also others who don't have Zlatan. His ownership is a massive 56%, but it still means that there are a lot of teams without Zlatan, and every time your expensive striker doesn't score, its those who don't have him who win.

              In short: there are a lot of players to own, and all teams won't have the same. You always from your players scoring well, and as long as your captain choice scores more than the others, you should not wish that your other players don't score at all just because somebody else might (and does) captain them.

        8. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Same, except I basically swapped him in for Sanchez. Ouch.

      • Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        No BAPs for Williams in a 1-0 win?! Go back to Swansea!

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          If Baines scored the pen he would have had 1.

          1. Les Bleus
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            2 probably.

      • dhamphiir
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        If you have Aguero and Ibrahmimovic, which striker will be best option to fill 3rd spot? I normally play my team in 3-4-3 formation
        A. Defoe
        B. Negredo
        C. Any other striker below 7.1m

      • Worzel Gummidge

          Only thing I am happy about is Both Musa and Benteke scoring equally. glad didn't make the transfer..

        • Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Will Mahrez definitely lose pens then?

          They have had two in three

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Missed 3 of his last 4. Even the ones he has scored are unconvincing.

            A bit ridiculous he took them at all tbh.

              I didn't realise Sanchez had a stormer....wow....Make your mind up time to squeeze him in before he drifts off into the sunset,

              Double rise at least?

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  I have Ozil. Think he is still great option and will do really well again.

                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  quite hard to fit him in...

                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  Probably, but he dropped yesterday. That really sucked.

                  I don't think its worth it, never going to captain him with Aguero and Ibra. Think Ozil is a good option.

                      Baines is such good value this year and is effectively a 6th midfielder at 5.5m. Play him every week without thinking about it - sweet
