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.

    A shared bicycle kick goal? Weird

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Is that a first?

  24. Ziro

    Just realized it is SmartyPants clogging up FPL Towers servers with his requests. 😀

  25. Messsiaah

    Vardy and Fuchs
    One can't score, the other can't stop conceding

  26. Telpuialion
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    I am gonna be so freaking happy if Diomande gets any points for that goal!
    FPL aside, that was an awesome goal!

    Sanchez captain next week looks tasty now 🙂

  28. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 15 Years

    mahrez has looked awful that 1st half

  29. dhamphiir
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    And they said to pick Morgan or Fuchs because they are nailed

    1. KingGriffin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Nailed means they are nailed on to start not necessarily nailed on to do well

  30. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    Morgan>4.0, Vardy>Kane 🙂

      Thoughts on Musa? Probably depends on second half playing time I guess
