Gameweek 4 comes to its conclusion this evening as Hull play host to West Ham at the KC. It’s one of those occasions where a goalless draw may best serve Fantasy managers – neither team has a midfielder or attacker with over 3% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, a clear sign of our lack of faith in their respective attacks.

The team news is in and sees Steve Bruce make two changes from the side that lost to Villa last time around. New boys Mo Diame and Abel Hernandez both come into the starting XI at the expense of Tom Ince and Paul McShane, while fellow deadline-day signings Hatem Ben Arfa and Gaston Ramirez are afforded a place on the bench. James Chester is also amongst the subs as the Tigers boss opts for a four-man backline.

Sam Allardyce makes a trio of alterations to his first-team. Guy Demel comes in for Joey O’Brien at right-back, while summer signings Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia get the nod as Carlton Cole and Ricardo vaz Te drop to the bench. Carl Jenkinson recovers from injury to be named amongst the subs along with new boys Alex Song and Morgan Amalfitano.

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

    When a Celeb chef is showing me how to make a burger the genre has reached its limit.

    "I'm just gonna cut the tomatoe. Then put the lettuce on the bun."

    No shit.

      Shit would ruin the burger even I know that

      Did they toast the bottom of the bun to prevent butter/fat seepage?

      1. Damo.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I bloody hope so. I wouldn't touch an untoasted bun. If you're not gonna put in the extra bit of love that elevates it then I don't want your crappy Burger

    Just incase people missed Van Gaals pre match interview on Sunday he said Falcao wasn't starting due to jet lag from his international game for Columbia.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      He also said United can win the league

      Columbia isn't a country, it's a state.

      You must be talking about Colombia 🙂

    A front 8 of

    Fabregas, Ramsey, Sterling, Eriksen, Davis,
    Costa, Rooney, Diouf
    ... with no real problems at the back, except Coloccini.

    Save FT, or ditch Diouf? 6.4 selling price with 0.5 in bank.

      Not much available at that price.

      Rooney > Captain Jack Sparrow is tempting too.

    Welbeck or pelle
    And why

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck. I expect him and his team to score more.

      1. 4vets
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        +1

    2. CoolBeans
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Pelle, looks to be a more intelligent striker and has kinder fixtures.

  16. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like Terry and Caulker will be in my team for a loooong while.. too many other non playing priorities

    1. JK - Cønt â­
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Luckily I don't have this problem

      Terry is gone this week

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        feel like just swappin terry for baines for a hit but it does not make sense the more i think about it. Terry still going up for set pieces and hopefully chelsea tighten up soon

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          But that is it. Terry is NOT usually going up for set pieces.

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            watched every game.. gone up for every setpiece apart from one indirect free kick vs leicester!!

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Well, good luck. You and I have been watching different games.

          2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            As far as I can gather, he has gone up a total of 4 times, this term.

            1. Valar(Keith)
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              he went up 4 times on saturday itself!

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years

                I will check in with Specsaver's then. 🙂

                He went up once, mate.

                1. Valar(Keith)
                  • 16 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  he headed a shot off target and kept going for the rest.. dint touch the ball but went up for em. i watched the game live 🙂

                2. Valar(Keith)
                  • 16 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  anyway maybe im wrong.. terry to baines still on the cards

        2. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years

          I hate to break the news...but...

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 12 Years

      Could be a blessing in disguise

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        hoping so.. 🙂

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Terry will come good. It's only a matter of time.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        he is still going up for set pieces too.. dunno why ppl sayin he does not

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            the games i've watched he has.. the stats may say otherwise

        1. theloveburglar
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          people are saying he isnt because he isnt and the games iv seen he hasnt

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            eh.. i only remember him not going up for a set piece once

  17. Syd.

    Those Ryder Cup adverts are annoying

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You don't have to watch them. For this reason, I don't watch Tumble.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I think it's the music that's annoying and the stags and Ian Poulter

    2. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I nearly forked out for tickets but changed my mind. £290 for a day ticket for myself and son was a bit steep

    3. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not as annoying as the Hull v West Ham Adverts on a Sunday.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I think it is a great advert. Can't wait for it myself!!

  18. amol

    Hazard needs to start scoring :/

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Every season there's a player in my team who I keep expecting to do something and I give him chance after chance. I'm a sucker for punishment.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      hazard has disappointed FPL wise. looks good in games but no points. he'll come good but id steer clear for now. fab is the one to have right now.

      Entered beast mode on saturday. Best player on the pitch after Costa. can see him exploding soon but totally understand people who lose patience in him. expecting a big year from him tbh.. as was evident at the weekend teams cant afford to double up on him like they did last season as they need to mark Costa and Fabs too. Gonna probably get him in soon 🙂

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I will get him back at 9.8m

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          i have cash in the bank for Eriksen to Hazard/Fabregas for next week.. if hazard is similarly priced to fabs by then i'l just get him

          1. Christina.

    "With Chester left to play, at least my rank shouldn't get any worse"

    How wrong I was!

      Is he injured, do you know?

        On the bench, so doubt he's injured.

            His place always under threat once they signed Dawson. If Bruce plays 3 CBs Chester will be in, if Bruce goes 2 CBs them Chester drops out.

      That would be hilarious. Imagine Hull fans cheering the OG because their rivals have Davies

    Who to sell first between Coloccini and Chester in my dilemma for the week. Boring! ðŸ˜

      Chester, as at least Coloccini plays.

    Everyone knows that Haz will most likely outscore Fab by the end of the season. That's why I'm keeping Fab until Haz starts scoring and doing the swap.

    By then, they will both be the same price 😛
