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.

  2. RNGD Shobby

    Tempted...
    Mannone -> Jaku
    Barkley -> Sanchez
    For -4

  3. semiconductor
    • 9 Years

    Fer a good option?

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

      No

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

      Fer-y good

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      In my opinion no. Bad fixtures playing as a center mid, he won't score every week.

    4. semiconductor
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I just need a good cheap option beside capoue

  4. Jonathan Feddema
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic >
    Lamela
    Antonio
    or any other mid under 7.5
    Antonio looks good since WHU have a long streak of easy fixtures

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

      Wait and see if antonio plays RM again. If so id have him

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

      Lamela

      1. Jonathan Feddema
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs haven't looked that great so far

  5. semiconductor
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Another question since i didn't watch any game today. How was junazaj?

  6. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Just have this on the back of my head

    Ibra + Redmond -> Sanchez + Negredo for -4?

    Won't the transferred pair give more points?

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

      Don't do it

  7. Jonny Sutt
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Not seeing much love for Barkley. Playing well with awesome fixtures?!

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

      The Barkley train left last week

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Ye I have him but I'm not sure why people are getting rid is what I mean!

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

      I have him and i dont even like him that much. Just an annoying player. Lamela and antonio (if he plays RM) are better options imo.

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think Barkley and lamela are similar tbh. They never play consistently well. At least Ross is the main guy at his club

  8. BendingFCs
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Townsend and Barkley out for me.
    Fer and Sanchez in

  9. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Foster, Jaku
    Shaw, Williams, Stones, Friend, Amat
    Haz, Barkley, Townsend, Redmond, Capoue
    Aguero, Ibra, Rondon

    A) Barkley & Townsend > Sanchez & £5.1m mid (Fer?) -4
    B) Barkley > Ozil
    C) Stick

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Townsend and Redmond > rodwell and Ozil

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

        Hadn't thought about that, could be a better option and just rotate Rodwell and Capoue. Cheers.

  10. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    Ah so Sanchez is the bandwagon...

    I have no idea how to get Haz, Ibra, Aguero and Sanchez in my team.

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

      Like this

      Foster Pickford
      Stones Valencia 4.5 x 2 / 4.0
      Hazard Sanchez Lamela 6.0m Capoue
      Kun Ibra Diomande

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        This works.

        But you have to play Diomande every week. Who'll scarcely get over 2...

    2. RNGD Shobby
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      tempted to wc to give me the holy quadrumvirate
      Ward -> Williams
      Wollscheid -> Evans
      Barkley -> Sanchez
      Lamela -> Capoue
      Ibe -> Januzaj

  11. Legomane
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How worthwhile is a WC to build value?

    Currently got Feghouli, Walker, friend, Gray in doubt. Ideally like to shift Oscar, Townsend and possibly Firminio. Get in some arsenal cover etc...

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

      Already 36pts down in ML...

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Then go for it

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

      Wc. Lots of picks there that are not looking great right now.

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

      Done.

      Foster
      Jaku
      Holgate
      Capoue
      Cazorla
      Hazard
      Fer
      Roydon

      All in to catch the early rises...wonder how many will make it to GW4!

  12. papabouba
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Barkley now non essential after 1 week? 🙂

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

      Thats how this comments section works apparently

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      And Sanchez is a must have 😉

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

        Scary 🙂

    3. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil Barkley hazard

      My midfield

  13. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Exact money to do VVD, Barkley, Gray > Williams, Sanchez, Diomande (-4)

    Yay or nay ?

    Would leave me with:

    Foster
    Valencia - Williams - Stones
    Hazard - Sanchez - Lamela - Redmond
    Aguero - Ibra - Diomande

    (Jaku, Capoue, Friend, Amat)

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Do you like the idea of playing Diomande every week?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Toothless vs United at home...Id avoid esp if Snod is hurt long term.

        1. Prison Mike
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah that's a good point about snod

      2. Prison Mike
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think he will get similar returns to the 6.5 options and there's always Capoue he could rotate with if one has a more favourable fixture

    2. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      barrow instead of diomande?

      1. Prison Mike
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Can't afford

  14. Kante Be Bothered
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Courtois Jakupovic
    Shaw Stones Walker Amat Love
    Hazard Lamela Redmond Barkley Capoue
    Aguero Ibra Negredo

    Saving my FT would be the best thing to do right?

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

      Cazorla for Barkley?

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Is Cazorla going to start every game when Ramsey is back?

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

      Save!

  15. Geezer
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How did Mahrez play today except for the penalty miss? Any good shots? Is Ozil or Mane the best option to replace him with?

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

      Ozil

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

      Poor

  16. Big Bad Diego
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Do I Need to shake things up a bit? Maybe add some Arsenal cover in the midfield? My team:

    Pickford Jaku Valencia Morgan Williams McAuley Amat

    Hazard Redmond Barkley Capoue

    1. Big Bad Diego
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Oops! I pressed post accidentally. The rest of my team:

      Sterling

      Aguero Ibra Negredo

      Cheers!

    2. Geezer
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Apparently Hull are buying a new GK. So maybe upgrade Jaku?

      1. Big Bad Diego
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Depending on how Sterling does, I will consider bringing in Cazorla for him and use the extra .5 to add a new keeper.

  17. Cynical
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Intrigued by Pereyra but his stats for Juventus weren't great. Did he play in the hole against Arsenal? Could be one to watch.

    Also, if Gray is banned, who is the budget forward of choice? Negredo is the obvious choice but I'm looking for a differential to my rivals...

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

      Defoe maybe if you can afford him

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

        That's the problem - I'd rather avoid the hit.

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

      I'm thinking Hernandez of Hull

    3. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hernandez

    4. MTPockets
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I just got Pereya (for deulofeu mind). Reading through Watford forums they seem quite impressed. But frankly it's a price constrained punt because I don't get the Bolasie love & want to save a FT.

    5. bennyp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Had baines and mahrez.. could have been so many more points

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

        Won't be many more points for Mahrez. Out!

    6. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Do people think stones is a good £5m defender? I think money can be spend elsewhere tbh until city show some signs of shutting up sho.

      1. Big Bad Diego
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Don't even know why he still has such high ownership. Dropped him GW2

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

        Essential

      3. Kante Be Bothered
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        City just signed Bravo so they will be much better defensively

        1. Jonny Sutt
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          And they'll all gel come Sunday? Not sure if some people know how football works sometimes.

          1. Kante Be Bothered
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Bravo won't start against West Ham. Pep confirmed that. Bravo will have 2 weeks gel.

      4. Norman Conquest
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        i will be seeing how he does against west ham plus he wont be keeping a cs in the next game

      5. Jonny Sutt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think you're looking at a solid month before city are looking right at the back.

      6. mattk lfc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        5.0 nailed on defender for top 2 team is too good to pass up imo

    7. flipthebuzzard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ok after a shambles over last 2 weeks and bottom of my league WC time it is - thinking the following so far but no idea what 6m or less forward to fill the blank... things may well change over the break of course..

      Foster Heaton
      Valencia Holgate Amat Stones Friend
      Carzola Hazard Lamela Barkley Capoue
      Kun Ibra (??)

      Looking at fixtures WestHam could have a good run, for them, is Valencia worth a punt at 5.5??

      Any thoughts (and on team as a whole) would be bloody excellent please!

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        How much do you have left for that 3rd striker spot?

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

          6.1m....

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

        Holgate not nailed
        Try fit in Özil or Sanchez instead of Cazorla
        Barkley overpriced? Mirallas or Yala Bolasie instead?
        Hernandez is decent 3rd ST

    8. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Ibra > tekkers

      2. Geezer
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Keep Ibra!

    9. Everyday im Schneiderlin
      • 10 Years

      Leroy fer a viable option at 5.1 or just a flash in the pan?

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        tough fixtures coming up

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

      I know I need to tinker with this team and I would love to get an Arsenal player.

      If Walker---Williams
      Lamela---Ozil
      Gray---Diomande

      Would you do it. Currently 0.1 off but hoping Lamela will rise again.

      Jaku-Foster

      Stones-Shaw-Walker-Friend-Amat

      Hazard-Redmond-Firmino-Lamela-Capoue

      Ibra-Kun-Gray

      Suggestions?

      Please

      1. Prison Mike
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Very similar to the transfer I'm thinking of making: VVD, Barkley, Gray > Williams, Sanchez, Diomande (-4)

    11. Professor Red
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      So are peope really wc'ing just to get sanchez in?! Wow!

      1. Geri-hatricks
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah a bit of madness. Definitely for a free, maybe for a hit, no way for a WC

      2. Kante Be Bothered
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Yea its a waste of a WC if you ask me. Low ownership (for now) and only had 1 good game

      3. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I know right, they should have him in already...

        1. Professor Red
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Long time jack. How are you?

    12. Big Bad Diego
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Is it knee-jerky to transfer out Redmond? The problem is, I don't have much extra money, and you can't find much better value for 6 mill.

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        keep you cant do much better than Redmond at the 6.0 price range

      2. Geri-hatricks
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I have both Tadic and Redmond (silly in hindsight). I'm keeping Redmond soley because cheap attacking midfielders are very important in fitting Aguerovic + Haz + Sanchez etc

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

        Super jerky

      4. mattk lfc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Boufal medical tomorrow ahead of £17m signing. Tadic and Redmond playing time could be affected

    13. Capoue
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Im planning to using my WC

      This is my team now

      Foster/jaku
      Stones valencia amat soure friend
      Hazard mahrez remond lamela capoue
      Ibra aguero negredo

      I will transfer out
      Friend or soure for love (dont know if he is the best 4.0)
      Redmond to fer

      Mahrez to sanchez

      I really want sanchez in my team

      Or

      I just transfer mahrez to ozil?but people are saying even though ozil scored he is not moving good

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

        Just do to Mahrez Ozil

    14. papabouba
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Does the new essential power template go by the name of KunIbraHazSanch?

      3. Geri-hatricks
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Not essential because rest of the team looks very poor with all of them, although if you're on a WC, I would try to fit them in somehow.

        Ozil a good alternative to Sanchez

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

          Ozil will rack up more assists with the spanish vardy coming in, who will hopefully have a better conversion rate than giroud.

      4. Jonny Sutt
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Ozil will suffice, Sanchez is just too expensive IMO. Explosive points off him but Ozil picks up points on a weekly basis.

      Is Lanzini likely to be fit after the international break? If yes, is he nailed?
