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

      See above! Rest of the team saved my GW at least.

      My team was almost Terry-Davies-Shaw prior to gw1. Thankfully I saw sense/got lucky 🙂

    Two consecutive -1. New low for Mr.Curtis Davis. And yes I own him. F***

    Betrand or Clyne for debuchy?

    I genuinely can't believe people still take Poseidon seriously.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think that many do. He constructs a mean team though.

    Ben Arfas's belly coming in...

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aye greggs in Newcastle must have been gutted to see him go.

  7. Back on the horse

    2-2. ideal

  8. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    They should have brought Chester on to shore things up at 2-1.

    No chance now.

  9. Declan

    Chester staying benched

  10. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any clue as to why Chester didn't play? What do you think of his future prospects?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tactical change to 4 at the back and Chester is third choice. Whether he get back in depends if Bruce decides to go back to 3 at the back.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Damn. I didn't know he was third choice. Ugh!

        Should I transfer him out? Or keep him for now?

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hull reverted to a back four, so Dawson was favoured over Chester

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Damn. See above?

    15 nail biting minutes for Chester owners. Stay on the bench

    Wow, what an awful week. Tempted to wc but I think my team is ok. Thinking of debuchy and coloccini to Clyne and trippier or bardsley for -4?

  13. Flicka
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Yes! Barfa and Ramirez subs.

    1. Doc Drogo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  14. Not Irish

    Watching WHU today makes me want to give balo another week in my team...

  16. Syd.
    • 16 Years

  18. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I have west ham to win at 9/1. Put 50p on it, cash out at 49p! Whats the frigging point

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I can probably lay my bet by placing more on the other results.

    2. OShaughnessy

      Penny saved mate.

  19. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Not watching the match, but seeing the events, doesn't look like it'll greatly affect my rank having had no one play today.

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I guess it will since Chester won't come on and people will get lucky bench points..

  20. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Robertson looks to have very good attacking potential!

  21. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Diame -> Gastos Ramirez
    Hernandez -> Barfa

    1. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS

  28. BayerNevaLusen

    2 points coming off the bench :/ Still better then 1!

  29. Not Irish

    • 12 Years

    Yes. It feels like a player has just scored a goal with that 3rd sub
