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

    What's everyone's average points so far? Mine's 58, hoping to get 60+ soon.

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

        Ah, nice one. Is that accurate?

  2. Gaztafari

    Wisdom off the bench for Chester. Yes mate!

    1. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Colo and PvA here

    Literally been scratching my head after the weekends games with what to actually do with my team. I don't know whether I should have a few beers and just get gutsy.

    Here's the team:

    Begovic Gilks
    Jones Clyne PVA Naylor Wisdom
    Fabregas Ramsey Sterling Siggy Davis
    Rooney Costa Naismith

    1FT AND 3.5 mill in the bank

    Should I just take out Jones? but for who?
    Any advice would be great!!

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

      Ramsey > ADM?

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Was thinking about it! Not necessary for when arsenal have villa. That can wait a week.

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

      Naismith > pelle

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Naismith is against palace. Wouldn't need to do that surely?

    3. threeputt
      • 16 Years

      jones to chambers or dier ?

  4. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS

    unbelievable!

  5. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jeeeez, Valencia can jump.

  6. MJ6987
    • 15 Years

    Best Chester replacement?

    A. N.Taylor
    B. Chambers

    Thanks

    1. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I like Chambers

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

      B, consider PVA and Robertson as well though.

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

      Taylor probably.. TOT, che and then the international break coming up. Debuchy could be back 2/3 games after

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

        though PVA looks like he can get immediate returns with his next 3

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

        I thought it's been said that he's probably out for 3 months?

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

          Wenger did not confirm the time period.. and le parisier said 2 months max i think

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

      Duff?

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

        Not sure I trust Burnley defence as much as Arsenal and Swansea.

  7. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    You know you've been on here too much when you search Naylor, not Taylor, into TotalFPL...

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

      Ha ha. Remember to untick the low ownership players box!

      One in each for Sky, So I got a couple of points to compensate for Curtis.

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

        Ah, nice one. Chance of something at 'Newcastle-in-crisis' on Saturday, too.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Fingers crossed for us both Ludo. A CS and a goal or two would be good.

    What you guys think

    Gilks Krul

    1. Whazza

      Weak defence and two 5th mids.

  9. Valar(Keith)

    1. super zlatan

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Well done! I won by 1, thank you Davies for giving McGregor an extra - 1!

    Perfect result for non ham hull owners!

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

    Worth keeping dzeko for another week?
    Or kick him to the curb?

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

      Time to ditch I think, not worth the risk.

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

      I'm ditching.

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

        Who for?

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

          Probably Welbeck unless something happens between now and Saturday morning.

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

            Yep that's what I've done. Bit of a worry not having Pelle but I'm sure he's overrated. Time will tell.

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

          Pelle is who I am considering.

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

            Both could be an option!

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

      Out. Welbeck, pele, ade - choose

    4. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd kick him out

    5. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Swap him for Welbz or Pelle, cant see him scoring against Chelsea and he might be benched again.
      Btw re. Seamus vs Baines, I think Baines' set pieces tip it in his favour. Never missed a penalty 😀 scores 3-4 a year..

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

        Cheers Kerz. Appreciate the response mate.

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

          Anytime mate. Think I'm going for Welbeck instead of Pelle. Would want Danny from GW8 for his great run of fixtures so essentially saves a FT along the line, and a trip to Villa followed by a NLD isnt such a bad run until then

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

    I own Dummet/Chester/Debuchy.

    Should I take a hit to get Chester and Debuchy out?

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

    62 points for this gw. Kinda shit really.

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

      Shut it SZ, this hurts enough as it is 😉

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years

        How u get on vets?

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

          Terribly... let's move on 🙂

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

            It's not awful. Still could score very well next week. U keeping balotelli?

  22. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    You would have been well within your rights to expect 15+ from PVA Terry Davies this gameweek. -2 instead. Ouch.

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

      I don't want rights, I want some points, please lord!

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, Terry especially has been a real kick in the balls. 8 points from 4 with those fixtures. He must go.

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

      :*(

  23. Guy Demel's SH
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Decent game in the end! Valencia's leap is incredible, and his goal more so.

    Oh and Moore off the bench for Chester 😉

  26. Dr Ennet
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    That was weird indeed... To motivate myself watching the game tonight I put one euro on Hernandez first goal scorer and 2-2 final result... Imagine me, when Valencia almost scored in the very last minute! 🙂 It gave 75-1, so a good evening after all... 😀

    Best Debuchy replacement? Other defenders are Cahill, Taylor, PVA, Wisdom.
    Thinking Bertrand. Or could save the transfer this week

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

      Save.

  28. thepuntmaster

    Ddg (Elliot)

    Baines - Cahill - Robertson - Wisdom - Bartley

    Hazard - Ramsey - Sterling - Aarons - Marney

    Naisy - Costa - Balotelli

    1 FT - 1.7 in bank

    Few questions:

    Thinking hazard/Balotelli/ Cahill out...

    1. Balotelli and hazard > Aguero and Fab (-4)

    2. Balotelli > Falcao

    3 something else

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

      Why do you want to sell Balotelli?

    A. Terry + William (SWA) + Pelle

    B. Taylor (SWA) + Wisdom + Rooney
