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

        A 4 point hit and u are sorted.

        Terry > baines
        Dzeko > Pelle

            Wisdom is a bench fodder who at least plays every week. So he is still useful to have.

            U will kick yourself if there is a monster dgw as a WC is perfect then.

              My players eg haz are losing value and also not keeping up with players like Cesc.

              double whammy

                What's your WC draft looking like?

  2. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Was angry about PvA coming on for Kelly instead of Moore

    But Moore is subbed on now anyway 😀

  3. Exilizer
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    the amount of times hull just need to roll it wide into the runner one more time to get a 100% chance and never do is frustrating to watch.

  4. Barry Woj
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    woohoo Duff and Moore off the bench

  5. Revival

    • 13 Years

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

      Because Hull have better players now.

    DDG, (Elliot)

    Baines - Cahill - Robertson - Wisdom - Bartley

    Hazard - Ramsey - Sterling - Aarons - Marney

    Costa - Ballotelli - Naismith

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing a 4 point hit couldn't fix

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

    I rarely seem to get auto subs. And when I do, they are rubbish!

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

    Will take Moore 6pts and run.

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He is third deep on my bench 🙁

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

      Davies might still score

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i can't do the same... instead have robertson with 0pts

  9. Flicka

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      PVA or chambers

      1. Concrete
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Chambers a bit safer
        PVA potential for points higher

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Clyne?

          1. Concrete
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

  11. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years

  12. Chambo
    • 11 Years

  13. pleccy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

      fully fit back 4 will likely look like rafael jones rojo shaw

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Can't imagine he will drop blackett

  15. thepuntmaster

    This Hull team has real quality!

    Robertson looks an incredible prospect, true passion right there.

    Abel Hernandez looks comfortable in the EPL, Jelavic finding form..

    I always rated Diame, and he looks a solid option.

    HBA and Ramirez are capable of being top class if they get some game time perhaps they can do so on a more regular basis.

    Curtis Davis is a sound centre back and McGregor a brilliant keeper!

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just a shame Bruce is such a shit coach, nice guy but fairly hopeless.

  16. havel
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I knew I'd regret benching Caulker over C.Davies. I knew it.

    1. BayerNevaLusen
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      To be fair they both did pretty poor..

      1. havel
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        At least he didn't get a -1

  17. The Invincibles
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Do I need to wildcard?

    De Gea, Krul.
    Debuchy, Caulker, N.Taylor, Chester, Wisdom.
    Fabregas, Ramsey, Sterling, Siggurdson, Schniderlin.
    Costa, Rooney, Berahino.

    1. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

  18. BayerNevaLusen
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Well I'll finish the GW with 90(-4)

    How about you guys?

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

      Nice! 65 with Sterling (C) lol I'll take it tbf. Gutted I didn't (C) Costa!

  19. LMFAO
    • 14 Years

  20. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years

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

      Better than nothing I suppose.

      Oh wait. 😉

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

    a brace

  22. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How is Robertson doing?

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

      Looking class tbh. Probably the best 4.5 defender. Straight forward Chester > Robertson.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. No bloomin'' points though! 👿 😆

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

          Haha, unlucky. Is that no points from Chester?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            No, I have Robertson. My team looks great on paper, it just doesn't get any points! 😉 😀

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

        Tough fixts incoming though.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Rotates with PvA.

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

            Right o.

  23. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which 3 to play this weekend??

    A) Moreno (WHU Away)

    B) Alderweireld (SWA Away)

    C) Moore (MNU Home)

    D) Wilson (QPR Away)

    E) Duff (SUN Home)

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B, D and E.

    2. Sess!

  24. smash
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    People watching the West Ham game, would you fancy Sterling captain against that defence next week?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking of Rooney as captain. Sterling could be risky with CL midweek?

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

        Is the CL next week too?

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

      Yeah. Was considering it before and definitely am now.

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

      You'd think Liverpool have the ability to at least match Hull's attack.

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

        Think I might give him another go with the armband then, could be a great diff as some might be scarred from his Villa no-show, would assume he's nailed too

        cheers.

    4. Sif
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep calm and captain Costa.

      Can I claim that for the season 😉

  25. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I can only have 2 of Ramsey/Cesc/Di Maria/Sanchez

    Which two?

    1. Epic Fail

      Ramsey, Sanchez.

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

      Fab for sure

    3. super zlatan

      1. Think Tank

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Leaning towards this but no Ramsey frightens me!

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 3 months ago

              This with Siggy Sterling, Aguero Costa... powerful

        2. tw
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          cesc + one other

          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Fab and Sanchez on current form.

        4. Beavis

      • WSRevilo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        RMT please, I have £1.5m

        DDG, Gilks
        Cahill, O'Shea, Wilson, Chester, Coloccini
        Ramsey, King, Henderson, Erikson, Siggy
        Rooney, Balotelli, Costa

        A: Cahill -> Clyne
        B: A + Henderson -> Sterling (-4)
        C: A + B + Balotelli -> Pelle (-8)
        D: A + B + C + Erikson -> Fabregas (-12)

        I like B, looks like a fairly natural upgrade

        1. Gaztafari
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

        Chester and balo to duff and Rooney for -4?

        1. super zlatan

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

        Greetings. Quick question: I've just turned the legal betting age, and would like to start betting on PL matches. Which website would you suggest is the best for good odds and accumulator bets?

        1. pit creature
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Betfair exchange offers the best value

        Duff/Moore/Hutton auto subs on the way then... Shouldn't do too much to OR, though.
