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.

    No reason to blow this team up with a wildcard, right?

      No be patient the FPL season is a long one.

      Looks a lot like my mess and haven't planned to WC yet.

    3. Cevap

      not at all Jay. Ozil/Sanchez tempt you at all?

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Of course. Really regretting my two free transfers this week - should've carried two into the international week and jumped on Arsenal assets ahead of their schedule shift

    Valdes - Jakupovic
    Valencia - Stones - Friend - Evans - Amat
    Hazard - Redmond - Ramirez - Deulofeu - Lamela
    Gray - Augero - Ibrahimovic

    I thinking of

    Deulofeu + Lamela -> Sanchez & Capoue
    this means no Everton and no Spurs cover ahead of the "easy on paper" fixtures

    Yay on Nay?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Delboy, Tadic, Vardy, Fuchs, Gray, NSue, Leko - time to move on!

    I'm surprised people are transferring Holgate in. I mean he is playing really well but surely Coleman will start ahead of him right? I think he is ready after the international break.

  4. reason17
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How long will holgate be nailed on for?

    How well as he played so far?

    1. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He's played really well. Man of the match candidate in the last 2 games, but Coleman will hinder his gametime when he comes back from injury

    Bottomed, hoping for a reply or two:

    I honestly have very little idea what to now do. Gut tells me to do A on the below but I'm worried about missing out on price changes on the international break:

    A: Sort out Kone. Williams? Souare?

    B: Hit the WC and make changes to get price increases

    1FT

    Foster Heaton

    Shaw Stones Friend Pieters Kone

    Hazard Barkley Lamela Redmond Capoue

    Aguero Ibrahimovic Negredo

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Dont WC that. Maybe just lose kone as you said.

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

        You think Williams is a better shout the Souare?

        I do but I'm worried I have too much tied up in my defense then.

        1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Miles better than souare yes. Do that trade. Dont worry about that just yet, your team is very good. Can always downgrade someone in the future if funds are needed

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

            Cheers mate.

      Wild card, it will stop you from thinking about it and make for an enjoyable 2 weeks

  6. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Replacement for Long with nothing ITB? Looking at Wilson and Hernandez as both are on penalties. Pretty few options at 6.4 and below.

    1. ramunas

      Wait and see how Stuani gets on tomorrow?

      I like it! Virtually identical to what I'm thinking of except I have Gaston instead of Redmond and Shaw for Valencia!

        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        cheers mate. it is tempting. I can get this with a -4 so thinking about doing it, but gonna wait until after internationals. If someone gets injured, it may shift my thinking

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

          Yeah I'm going to wait until the international break too! I can do it without a hit. If it doesn't work it's easy to pick one who's not firing to downgrade!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I responded a couple of pages ago. I don't like having to play 1 of Capoue or Diamonde each week. I don't think they are good enough myself

        thinking the same. will monitor over international break and see what happenes

    2. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years

      Easy. No Ibra.

      The trick is to get them all four, which seems impossible at the moment.

        You can do it if you have two cheap midfielders. Im trying to talk myself out of it now....

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

    Foster Jaku
    Shaw Stones* Friend Soare Amat
    Hazard Tadic* Redmond* Bolasie Capoue
    Aguero Zlatan Negredo*

    2.8 ITB 1 FT

    Starred are the players I would change if I was to wildcard, I don't think my wildcard is required but what transfer should I make priority?

    A. Stones to Williams/Baines
    B. Tadic to Ozil
    C. Tadic to Sanchez and Redmond to Fer (-4)
    D. Negredo to Benteke
    E. ACD. Wildcard.

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

    Decent 7.7 mil replacement for Tadic? Got Townsend, Hazard, Fletcher and Barkley.

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

      Lamela

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cazorla

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

      Lamela?

    4. Le _ Professeur
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cazorla / Walcott maybe

    5. Podge
      • 13 Years

      mirallas

    6. mattk lfc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lamela

  11. Jacques The Lad
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    15 whole points so far!!
    Worth taking an 8pt hit for Ramirez + Mahrez + Funes Mori -> Mirallas + Ozil + Williams?

    1. Jacques The Lad
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      After tomorrows games obvs

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      By experience no.

      4 maybe
      8 no

      1. Jacques The Lad
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Or WC?

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

          3 sound transfers. I'd wc sort out other issues (if you have them) and try to make some cash at the same time

        2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          If you feel you need it then that's what it's for. Better to get the players you want now than drop value as they rise. Defiantly wouldn't drop 8 though but I'm quite cautious with dropping points.

  12. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Apart from the goal, did Ozil look like getting returns?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No imo.

    2. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Well he did score 😛

    3. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not really, that's why I'm hesitating bring him in. Sanchez looked a lot more dangerous, just like the end of last season.

  13. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Alexis Sanchez ... Hmmmm

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Possibility of 14 points from Stones, Ramirez & Rondon combined tomorrow?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Good.

  16. M.A.G

    Is Cazorla going to be a good value and coverage from Arsenal ?

  17. Holding Mee Bong

    Locked in this WC team. Any opinions?

    Cech
    Baines | Collins | McAuley

    Aguero | Lukaku | Stuani

    Jaku | Hojb | Pieters | Kingsley

    1. Flying Nugget

      too much arse

      1. Holding Mee Bong
        • 9 Years

        Maybe Caz can go but can't help myself as things stand

    2. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Not sure I like it mate, Everton, Wham and Arsenal have a bad week and it's a disaster. Spread the coverage more maybe

  18. tafrère

    Lol everybody is considering Sanchez essential now. Yesterday he was the ugly duckling.

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

      Hes a form player, hes hit form

      1. Kante Be Bothered

        He will blank next game

      2. Flying Nugget
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        he's on form

    2. Holding Mee Bong
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Get him whilst he's 10.9

  19. paza12

    Holgate a long term starter for Everton? Cheers.

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

      I'd say he has 2 GWs left max. Coleman will be straight back in.

    2. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He playing really well but I'd Coleman comes in when he's back from injury

    3. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Na, not long until the Coleman starts delivering again

  21. twisterteo

    Does he worth the punt?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend

    2. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Just what I'm wondering, already have Townsend though and thinking that's just too much Palace given limited returns so far

    Hazard get a price rise tonight? Cheers.

                7 years, 8 months ago

                Dunno nothing about him too tbh. Really underwhelming is all I can say how I feel. Rumours of Payet being unsettled now and the club making up an imaginary 'knock'. Owners son has come out on Twitter saying he won't be sold this window, sounds a bit worrying for January though. Bad times, massive game for us tomorrow, need a result to get a feel good factor back over the break.

          How does the price rise/price fall system works? Know its by the number of people who transfer in/out, but not sure on the details! Cheers.

            Rises = x new net transfers in
            Falls = about 10% ownership selling.

          I'm trying to come up with a new team name. I want it related to the Albion as I'm a baggies fan. Is this awful?
