Dugout Discussion

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.

    The FPL App appears to be working

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years

      Priority being given by the servers to the app?

      It lets me log in, but the loading never ends.

    Are there any WhatsApp groups or forums the more refined and dedicated member can discuss the matchday on?

      Yes but only members can join it

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Should probably fork out for the membership then eh

        I don't need a membership....so I don't have one

          Fair enough it just makes little sense that you think you should get to be included in forums / whatsapp groups for memebrs

    So everyone is now going on and on about Diomande. If you have him and he is on your bench, that is the logical decision to make. Same as Capoue is on my bench in my 343... If you don't have him and you are going to buy him. You are probably still benching him every week anyway, because why would you play a Hull attacker every week heh 😀

      He isn't even a starter in normal circumstances. Give it a week he won't be in the team
