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

    Those Ryder Cup adverts are annoying

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. VougieDipond

      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

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

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

    Nervous time -- hope Chester does not come on to reinforce defence.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      stranger things have happened

    2. Doc Drogo

      Me too - I have Duff with 8 points on bench waiting

      Get one if you like them. They're looking good

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Moore

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        How about schlupp? Surely gets CS plus potential attacking points

  7. the cromulent one
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    As much as Chester needs to go, the rest of my defence is playable for the next few weeks.
    Plus, even if his price drops by 0.1, it is no real loss unless he drops to 4.4

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Optimism from our Iberian friends. Like it 🙂

      Should have quit while you were ahead with Kane and Abel.

        I want Steed Malbranque to come back to the PL...

      it's monday, its a boring game. Will let you off with that one 🙂

      1. Woy of the Wovers

        You and your fake ownership stats.

    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.

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Shit would ruin the burger even I know that

      1. Mull
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Bit of salt on it with some garnish. Beautiful.

            Ah now. Jesus 🙂

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Damo.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 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

  10. sillyhat
    • 11 Years

    Newcastle obviously was not playing well, but how did alderweireld do?

  11. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Defense is
    Terry Chester Caulker Clyne Duff

    A) Terry to Baines -4
    B) Chester to Bardsley -4
    C) Do nothing and wait for next week/week after to sort out my defense

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      with cameron out bardsley could prove to be a bargain

    2. A.T
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Still money to be made I think with a WC this week. Even after the ADM rise and Terry drop that i missed.

      Haz gonna drop for me
      Dzeko as well
      Chester not nailed any longer
      Wisdom on borrowed time
      Rio/qpr are kak
      Pelle/duff/bertrand/naylor prob rising - and i own neither

      Time to pull trigger me thinks

    4. DaveZubie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Personally I normally don't take hits for defenders (but may change that this week..)

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        i never do too.. just a bit fed up with that bunch of tossers in my defense 🙂 .. wanna start concentrating on my attack now asap!

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          play WC

  12. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    MacGregor hasn't been credited with that save on FPL.

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe because the defender kicked the ball in the attackers chest?? Just guessing...

  13. Keith Kiely

    Repost:

    I really had a shit Gameweek after using my WC for this team.. Should I have faith and not use the FT for this GW and see will it get better as I feel the team is good on paper

    McGregor, Myhill
    Clyne, Monero, Shawcross, Dier, Wisdom
    Sterling, Ramsey,Siggy, Ramerez, Di Maria
    Naismith, Falcao, Costa

    Would not of been too bad of a team if I didn't have Sterling as a Captain and if I went with my hunch as a Di Maria captain (changed them around after advice from somebody). What would people do in the case of this team?

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sell Ramirez

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        +1

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Falcao should start, that's some team it should come good.

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I would look to downgrade Ramirez and upgrade one of your defenders. Not convinced either Stoke or Pool will keep that many cleansheets despite the good fixtures.

      1. Keith Kiely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks dude, Might just try that

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Apparently Dawson injures his toe in the 89th minute and Chester makes an appearance 😉

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He might well come on if they hold on for a while...

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        True

    2. the cromulent one
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Here's hoping.

  15. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Chester to:

    a) Naylor
    b) Duff
    c) Moore

    ?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Duff

  16. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Do I want Chester to not play since I only have 2 points coming on? Lots of people seem to have Duff/Moore as a replacement for Chester 🙁

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I have collo (0 points).

  17. jdogg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Dzeko to pelle is happening

    Second free

    Mata to di maria-for security of starts

    Or

    Chester to chambers?x

  18. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Now that Kaboul is captain, does that mean he is nailed?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You think so.

  19. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Is balo to welbeck worth it for free?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      In the long run.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe I give balo another week....

        Another option is balo and tadic to pelle and di Maria for a hit... Yes? No?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Personally I'd stick with what you've got for a week. Then reassess next week. It's always good to have 2 free transfers too. Unless you've got other transfers that need to be made.

          1. Lord Flashheart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

      A bit sideways imo.

    Never wanted a West Ham goal more than now

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

      hull will win 2-1

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I have Hull 1-0 in my predictions league and changed it late today from 1-1 !! I also have a bet on less than 2.5 goals. And I have C.Davies. Lol !!

  21. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I own Debuchy/Chester/Dummet

    Should I take a hit to ship Debuchy and Chester?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

      debuchy deffo

      1. Puyol Pants Up

        Yeah, what about Chester?

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      May as well.

    Navas likely to keep his place this week?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rotation risk. I wouldn't bother...

    Chester owners have had a roller coaster ride to start with

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      fecker.

      15pt =benched
      red = played

      will prob come get cameo to steal my hutton pts

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Same as my Missus - benched him the first game. Kept him in on her W/C.

        1. JT's Dog
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Ha ha I read that as your missus being a roller coaster ride

      2. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        same here

      3. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Most of us did that tbh

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I took him out the Sat morning to my bench just before kick off for GW 1

  26. Wings Fan
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So, ignoring Arsenal "coverage" on my WC...makes me slightly uneasy, but what do ya reckon?

    Begovic

    Clyne - Rafael - Taylor

    Sterling - Fabregas - Siggy - Di Maria

    Pelle - Aguero - Costa
    -------------------------------------------------
    McCarthy - Boyd - Moore - Duff

    0.1m ITB. Easy enough to downgrade Pelle to Welbeck if needed I suppose.

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good team

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Why get a ManU defender on a wildcard? Because they got a CS at home vs QPR? Bad idea.

      1. Wings Fan
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        2 CS' on the bounce, Rafael extremely attacking to compensate for lack of width on the right of the midfield diamond as Herrera tucks in. Decent fixtures, worth a punt in my book.

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        What about because they have conceded fewer chances in the box than any other team for the season so far ?

    3. JT's Dog
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I am leaning towards ignoring arsenal also
      Can't have everyone

      Though wilshere is in my price range for last mid spot
      Really bad omen

  27. Kuyt Hero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who to bench for next GW!? And why?

    Sterling (whu), Rambo (avl), Haz (mci), Eriksen (WBA), Siggy (SOU)
    Naismith (CRY), Costa (mci), Rooney (lei)

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Probably hazard.
      Weird but logical.

      1. Kuyt Hero
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yea agreed

  28. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Late to the party I know but wow at Chester being dropped.

    My WC just keeps on giving.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago
