The Dugout Discussion – Middlesbrough vs Hull City

921 Comments
Share

Gameweek 14 comes to its conclusion this Monday evening as Middlesbrough welcome Hull City to the Riverside Stadium.

‘Boro’s Alvaro Negredo is the most popular Fantasy Premier League player on show tonight – the Spaniard is owned by just less than 14% of managers after netting twice in last week’s 2-2 draw at Leicester.

Aitor Karanka’s side have mustered just one clean sheet in the previous ten yet will be optimistic of defensive returns, bearing in mind that Hull have scored just once in their last three road trips.

With the fixtures set to turn in their favour from Gameweek 17 onwards, the Teesside team offer us the chance for some early festive scouting in the 8pm kick-off.

Roberto Snodgrass is the Tigers’ likeliest source of returns.

The Scot has produced more than twice the number of FPL points than any team-mate, though has managed just one goal on his travels so far.

Having conceded 15 times in their last four road trips, it’s fair to say that Mike Phelan’s side face a tough task to chalk up defensive returns tonight.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Spurs and fullbacks. I can easily see Walker being rotated against BUR and wat. Rose being more secure because of Davies injury. Do you agree?
    This is their schedule:

    07 Dec CSKA CL (H)
    11 Dec United (A)
    14 Dec Hull (H)
    18 Dec Burnley (H)
    28 Dec Southampton (A)
    1 Jan Watford (A)
    4 Jan Chelsea (H)

        @Fplvirgin. I think Trippier will play against CSKA and Hull. Possibly away to Watford too. That is the way Poch have used his full-backs before.

            I would be more inclined to do that than not. Poch is always quick to rotate his full backs at this time of year, while Alonso looks more secure. With Chelsea's fixtures, Alonso will make up the -4 in no time.

    Quite tempted with downgrading Siggy to some random 4.2 midfielder and upgrading Austin to Ibra, but then that means keeping Snoddy as my 4th midfielder, which is gash.

      I don't understand these options... You already have Ibra so in option A) you'd have to downgrade Ibra to Anichebe and then I guess Capoue to Sanchez. So option B) Would be Walcott and Firmino --> Can and Sanchez?

      So basically

      A) Ibra and Capoue --> Anichebe and Sanchez(-4)

      B) Walcott and Firmino --> Can and Sanchez(-4)

      It would have to be A) for me.

    Suggestions please anyone. My team:

    Foster (Pickford)
    Cedric Walker Evans (Holebas Amat)
    Haz Sanchez Firm Allen (de Roon)
    Kane Costa Austin

    0 FT, 2.5 ITB

    Used my FT to bring in Costa for Aguero as soon as he fly-kicked Luiz. With the extra cash free now i'd like to do Evans + Walker + Allen to Nyom + Alonso + Siggy. I could do these transfers over the next couple of gameweeks but I have the exact cash now and could be priced out with the price rises. My initial feeling is to get Siggy in for Allen (-4) and just hope Walker's good fixtures help him match Alonso.
