Spare a thought for Mike Phelan.

Already the Hull City caretaker manager seems to be unfurling the white flag, even before Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez get their first run at his patched-up defence.

The first Dugout Discussion of the Premier League season could witness one of the most one-sided opening fixtures in memory.

Champions Leicester turn up at the KCOM Stadium off the back of the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United but surely still brimming with confidence and optimism following the triumphant campaign.

Certainly they bring plenty of talent and pace – heightened by the presence of Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray on their teamsheet. That might just prove too much, even for a spirited Hull City showing.

Stranger things have happened, though. Just ask Claudio Ranieri.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Roberton is a real prospect.. Surprised he is still with Hull tbh. No disrespect intended

    Ah the joys of fpl. Already my players are getting needless yellow cards.

      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  11. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 7 months ago

      As long as Vardy scores 2 goals 2nd half I will be content

    • Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Was expecting a goal by now.... but in fairness Hull have looked pretty solid..

      I've never understood teams taking short corners

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Especially when you have someone like Morgan in your team

        Read "The Numbers Game." Interesting statistical analysis of short corners in there.

      Missed the match so far, how is Leicester looking so far?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Steady. Look a bit sleepy. 0-0 is fair at the moment.

      2. SamH123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        looking the more likely but they're not dominant

      3. Grand Thibauto

        As gross as 2 girls 1 schlupp

        Tight at the back, lacking a bit in structure and planning going forward. Vardy not having his best day

      I know I shouldn't be but I'm so outraged. We really are a pack of cry babies.

      I've missed all the reaction on here. Fuchs yellow card a nice reminder

      Anyone else still struggling to get on the fpl website? No such luck on my end right now...

      Captain Hindsight probably has an erection at the moment.

      Vardy really needs a new doctor, that wrist has been injured for far too long.

        I think he's just copying Keith Lemon's dress sense

        It's his lucky wrist injury.

        Morgan kicks it every week.

      Latest FPL development for me is a backend read error. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean but it hasn't come up before.
