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
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

    Chose Vardy over him because of penos 🙁

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

      He let Vardy just to be top scorer last season

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        🙁 🙁 🙁

    2. dja81
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez took penalties aswell as vardy last season

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He missed many, Vardy only missed 1.

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Did Mahrez demand penalties if he was to stay?

  12. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez makes up for my double Leicester defence.

  13. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I took Mahrez out last minute... 😆

  14. Dormer
    • 12 Years

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

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

      Not this season

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

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

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    3. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think until the first leaderboard update is done

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

      Its only a GW1 thing

    5. OZIL-TEEN

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

        1. Dormer
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          makes you think, huh

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

      Mahrez given a dodgy pen

      Casual season already confirmed

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months 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
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        non-mahrez owner I take it

      3. Fpl Old Guard
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

          classy mind games

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months 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
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Summer was a break to be fair 😉

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

          9 years, 7 months 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....

          Love it Mahrez your 9.5 plus hopefully bonus was worth it

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Bonus easy, he racks them up when he gets returns

        4. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months 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.

          Nightmare. Thought vardy on pens

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Same here. Mahrez had missed his last two.

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

          nod to FPL on R5 Live, mainstream

        7. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months 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
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          3. MTPockets
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I think he started missing them.

            • Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              He had also missed 2 in a row.

            • Basil1977
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

            9 years, 7 months ago

            Not sure whether I have Mahrez or not...

          6. Would an idiot do that?
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

              Exactly, that he was... not is.
