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.

    Why are people getting rid of Fuchs?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Because he costs 5.5 and Leicester arent keeping clean sheets whereas Everton, Chelsea, Utd are

        Chelsea fixtures are really bad. I already have eve and utd cover. It will suck to take him out for a WHU def

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough but 5.5 for Fuchs is looking too much at the moment. I have him and am selling

    Barkley missing thousands of chances and no assist given to Williams for that pen. Shame.

    1. fatherted
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Feel your pain...Also lead to Given stealing baps from Williams. Added to that....Mahrez, wtf!!

      Least Ibrahim blanked.

  5. paza12
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with this midfield?! Have 2 FT and 0.9 ITB:
    Mahrez, Tadic, Barkley and Townsend

    Thinking Mahrez to Sanchez and Tadic to Redmond?

    Cheers.

  6. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Only just seen Mane is 8.9 now.... that means I only need 0.5m to do Firmino to him instead of an awkward 0.6m. Hmmmmm....

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I want too many players

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Do you think he might compete with the likes of Sanchez/Hazard for total points this season?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think Hazard will get 200pts, can't see Mane doing that. But would be happy if he did lol

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Hazard being on pens will put him well above Mane actually. But I can see a lot of goals from Mane

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Yep. Fancy Haz to be in a league of his own

        2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah seems about right

      2. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, he looks amazing. Danny Rose just said it was the hardest game hes had in the last few years chasing Mane about 😆

        1. Dr Dream

          He's a brill player.

      Have you seen the next 3 for him and his stats? Don't shift him now.

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

        I thought he looked pretty poor to be fair

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Statistically speaking, he was great.

          He was poor.

            Prove it.

            1. how now brown cow
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              I was there. He's not been firing at all this season.

              Stats are one thing but I've seen him week in week out since he signed and he's not playing well. Lost a lot of set pieces to Lamela too.

              Often inconsistent though so nothing to say he won't start getting points soon.

  11. OldSchool

    Best midfielder for 6.2 or less?

    Pereyra or Redmond?

    Mid Cheap alternatives:

    1. Lamela + Fer
    or
    2. Barkley + 4.6 Hojberg/Barry

  13. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

    Should I let Deulofeu drop in price tonight and wait for the international break before I make my transfer, or make my transfer now and avoid the drop to not hinder future transfers?

    I'm not a fan of this penalty stuff. So many inconsistencies and its only gw3.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Just makes me think of getting Baines over Williams

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years

      Think we just need to create a 'Mike Dean Watch' and load up when we find out what game he's reffing!

      1. Gooner Kebab

        this 🙂

      2. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Add Robert Madley to that list. Both 1st and 2nd for penalties.

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Too many incons I agree

    4. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      It adds a twist. Good or bad.

  16. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Heaton, (Foster)
    Naughton, Fuchs, Friend, Stones, McAuley
    Firm, Redmond, Townsend, (Haz, Capoue)
    Gray, (Kun, Ibra)

    Probably needs a WC here i think? Keeping those in bracket.

  17. OldSchool
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Pereyra?

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

      I might just gold my breathe and get him in now. 😛

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

        He's a very up and down player

  18. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Probably need to get on Arsenal and Everton but no way to do it without multiple hits... Should I wildcard? Bad start, out at ~800k rank still.

    My GW4 squad is has very ropey fixtures:
    Heaton (HUL); Friend (*INJ*, CRY), Shaw (MCI), Morgan (LIV); Hazard (swa), Firmino (lei), Redmond (ars), Townsend (mid); Kun (mun), Ibra (MCI), Gray (HUL)
    Bench: Foster; D.Gray, Amat, Stones

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      On a WC I would drop Heaton, Friend, Morgan, Firmino, Redmond, Townsend, A.Gray, D.Gray and possibly Stones.

  19. Drip Doctor

    Walcott becoming an option? 3 consecutive games playing 90 minutes.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What happens when Ramsey returns and stupid Wilshire.

      I know they're very different players but it's never stopped Wenger benching him before...Is Wally fully nailed on ?

  20. Dr Dream

      probably

  22. Vasty Deep
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Reid or Collins?

    1. Jay_

        Masuaku only nailed defender atm. Looks good value for the next few months too.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          What's wrong with Reid? Is he rot risk?

          1. Jay_
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Yep, no real preferred CB partnership as it stands. Collins looking good and most fans think Collins/Ogbonna should start.

          If you're willing to play Capoue and Diomande every week, you can afford something like this

          ----------------Foster-----------------
          ---Valencia Williams Stones-----
          Sanchez Hazard Mane Capoue

          Best defender for Gw4?

          1. OLLY G
            • 7 Years

            All depends on your price range.

            1. jmcclory123
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Let's just imagine money is no object.

              1. OLLY G
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 8 months ago

                Bellerin probably. Great clean sheet potential. Possible attacking returns and Arsenal have very sexy fixtures coming up.

                Baines is also very nice, admittedly away at Sunderland, but he seems to be on pennos now and Everton also have some excellent imminent fixtures.

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

            Better options out there imo.

        • EDEN THE MAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Firmino or Ozil getting a heavy injury would make things so much easier for me.

        • The Rock
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Everyone who has Deu selling him yeah? Not many options I like around his price (7m or less). Townsend looks like the best pick but not very consistent. King, Ramirez and Mirallas/Bolasie are other options. What's the general consensus around here?

          1. Neto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            i'm looking to downgrade him to 4.5-.5.0 player and use extra money elsewhere

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

            Same dilemma here, 7.5 to spend.. My options are Bolasie, Mirallas, Lamela.
