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.

    Tie-goal and no assist? Like in the Olympics?

  2. Ógie

    Leicester will be relegated this season

    Can anyone remember how widely owned the Leicester defence was before the site went down?

      I've got Morgan

        Thanks, 3 million more replies needed though 🙂

        1. Basil1977
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          don't care about the other 3 million

      Luckily I ditched

    4. Artorias
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If I recall correctly Morgan had 26% ownership

    5. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Fuchs was one of the highest owned defenders. Morgan pretty heavy too.

    6. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I don't know if Morgan is in my team. Or Mee

    First shared goal in history

    Anyone double up on diomande and Hernandz?

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

      Yeah! is it given as a shared goal? Awesome!!

    2. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      There will be a Hull-City fan I guess.

    First cleanie gone 🙁

  6. GinjaWhinja

    This might actually be good news for Vardy and Musa owners. Mahrez owners have -1 so same can't be said but Leicester need to come out fighting. It's going to be an onslaught.

    After this first half I have taken note of two things, one of them most likely being wrong:
    1) Leicester look no where near as good as they were last season.
    2) Hull City may not be a walk over that everyone thought they would be.

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Had Vardy scored his two chances would this post have happened!

      1. MFPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nope, haha. The team looks a bit sloppy though, not as much intensity as I would have thought. They could easily be up though.

  8. Lateriser 12

    Survived one half without any Leicester player. Going to need a lot more Nachos to survive the second half.

    1. Invincibles49
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      And cheese

    2. Davido989

      Good man LR

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aye. I think it would have been better if it was still 0-0.

    4. Moin

      some salsa sauce as well

      Matter of time before the floodgates open.

    6. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I doubled with Vahrez 🙁

  9. Invincibles49
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Although I have no Leicester players, there's still a while to go so don't panic guys

  10. TATTOOED_2
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm more convinced by my initial Morgan > Williams plan for GW2 so that's a bonus

    1. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Have same plan, looks like def going to execute now.

    Rumours are GW1 will be void FPL wise. Announcement by 530 pm

    1. Messsiaah

      Atrocious for all those that got their teams sorted and if they were spot on with returns

  12. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    If Diomande gets a share of that goal, that 4.5 bandwagon is run-off Choo-Choo!!!

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

      Zlatan to Diomande

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Wasn't there a guy on here earlier saying he put all his savings on Leicester to win this game?

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep!

      Printing money he said. 😆

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      All that was in his account

    1. Basil1977
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  15. PonyVanGaal
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    whomever has gray & Hernandez in their squad is odds on to win this year. That extra mil could be a difference maker

  19. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    All I need now is for Kun to bang in a hat trick and and the site to go back up 😀

  20. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years

    Schmeichel at fault for the goal and the free kick leading to it.

    Ok this is not going well so far 😀

    Vardy could have had 3.... Still selling to Costa if he plays well I think

    There it is. FPL season 2016/17 will be minus one veteran. I stayed strong. I am proud of myself. Feel like I gave up in smoking/gambling/drug even.

    Will pop in from time to time to see how the lads are doing. Good luck to all and Chelsea to be champion!!!

    Juuuhuuuu

      Cheers mate! Tad disappointed that you didn't play. 😐

    2. Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Your heart never loses sight of FPL. You still think of FPL because it's your home. Come home, Daniel.

    That's straight out of a Japanese soccer cartoon. Two players hitting the ball at the same time, the ball inevitably going off the crossbar and in for swag points...
