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.

    I have Fuchs, Musa and Vardy (C). That was the worst possible scenario for my team, that pen.

  10. El Patron
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    WHY THE FAACK IS MAHREZ ON PENOS!!!!!!!!

    Chose Vardy over him because of penos 🙁

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      He let Vardy just to be top scorer last season

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        🙁 🙁 🙁

    2. dja81
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Mahrez took penalties aswell as vardy last season

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        He missed many, Vardy only missed 1.

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Did Mahrez demand penalties if he was to stay?

  12. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Mahrez makes up for my double Leicester defence.

  13. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    I took Mahrez out last minute... 😆

  14. Dormer
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    so you can't look at other peoples teams now?

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

      Not this season

      1. Muckle_ewe
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        Really? Or it just not until the end of the games?

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Is it a GW1 thing? I can't remember if you could straight away last year

    3. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      I think until the first leaderboard update is done

    4. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Its only a GW1 thing

    5. OZIL-TEEN
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Seems you have close up of the same grav I do.

      1. Dormer
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        makes you think, huh

  15. FFPro
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Mahrez given a dodgy pen

    Casual season already confirmed

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      One of the highest scorers last year scoring a goal isn't a 'casuals' problem ffs

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 28 days ago

        He wasn't really a popular pick on here

        Uncertain about his future at Leicester, awful pre season and first half here. Kinda have to agree that these are some cheap points for him

    2. funnyoldgame
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      non-mahrez owner I take it

    3. Fpl Old Guard
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Offensive to casuals? Are the ffs scout picks pickers casuals?

  16. Rogue Todd
    • 11 Years

    I like the new BPS summary within the game summary on the FPL site

    1. Ziro

      yup.

    jammy Mahrez owner here, but then I also have Fuchs...

    Ranieri 2015/16: Mahrez will be taking a break from pens

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      classy mind games

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      You'd imagine that next season is not too early for him to return from the break, no?

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Summer was a break to be fair 😉

      Nah, in all seriousness didn't expect him back on pens.

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Break is over. Totally makes sense after the fact. He was the penalty guy, but he had a bad run. Coach took pressure off. New season, resumed responsibilities....

  21. Royal5
    • 15 Years

    Not working here

    1. Andy_Social

    2. MTPockets

      No joy either

  22. Ryan Naysmith
    • 10 Years

    Love it Mahrez your 9.5 plus hopefully bonus was worth it

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Bonus easy, he racks them up when he gets returns

  23. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    The fact that they've started listing a top five for each team regarding bonus points on the fantasy website makes me very happy. So much more accessible than before.

  24. denial

    Nightmare. Thought vardy on pens

    1. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Same here. Mahrez had missed his last two.

  25. Bellerinmondo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    nod to FPL on R5 Live, mainstream

  26. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    wasn't mahrez on pens last season but gave them to vardy so he took try to be top goal scorer in the prem??

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Yep. I had secretly hoped he'd get them back...

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Yes, that's what I recall too...

    3. MTPockets
      10 years, 28 days ago

      I think he started missing them.

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      He had also missed 2 in a row.

    5. Basil1977
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      it started v norwich at carrow road where vardy was chasing van nistlerooys record

  27. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    Looks like I'm taking a hit in GW 1. Wow.

    1. fiveyears

      60 minute panic, it's impressive

  28. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Not sure whether I have Mahrez or not...

  29. Would an idiot do that?
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Common knowledge that Mahrez was on pens.
    Do your homework next time 🙂

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

      Exactly, that he was... not is.
