Hull City and Manchester United conclude the day’s events with a top of the table clash at the KCOM stadium.

Against the odds, both teams go into the tea-time kick-off having won both their opening matches, with Tigers boss Mike Phelan working miracles with a threadbare squad.

Not surprisingly, both Hull and United are unchanged. Whilst that could be down to very limited options in Phelan’s case, Jose Mourinho chooses to keep his winning side intact, with Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan again named on the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    56 points with 5 left to play, 3 points for my club and Wenger just confirmed Mustafi and Lucas Perez. Great day

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Boasting on a 'first' is a ban worthy offence 😉

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Tbf, he ONLY got 56 points. 😛 😉

      2. 7alwachi
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha didn't realize!

      3. Les Bleus
        10 years, 1 month ago

        At least he was direct with his brag. None of the "is 56 good with 5 left to play" 😉

      4. Camp No No
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😆

        What Les Bleus said. At least no humble brag.

      Link team?

        1. Rainer
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Smashing! Nearly goes to waste if Ibra gets 2.

          1. 7alwachi
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe so, but it could at least make up for not owning him.

    3. ★Kuntheman★
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ...how?!

      1. 7alwachi
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Took a -4 and captained Alexis, he has a way with away matches.

  2. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No Ibra 🙁

    C'mon Rooney, Pogba and Valencia 😎

    1. TheBusDriver

      😀

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 1 month ago

        2.5m gets you Pogba instead of Redmond 😉

    2. Jamie_GAWA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Are you tempted to get Ozil in for Pogba, I really am but if Pogba does well then I'm in quite a conundrum

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Let you know later, probably not

    3. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba owner here too - exciting times (for now).

      Have Ibra too 🙂

      Rooney + 2.5m & pens > Ibra

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Never said he was on pens

  3. faux_C
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I've got 2.5m to spend. Who should I upgrade, Townsend, Noble or Wilson?

    1. Geri-hatricks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Noble

    2. DV8R

      Noble

  4. Geri-hatricks

    Southampton, you have failed me for the last time.

    VVD, Tadic OUT

  5. Les Bleus

    The special one vs. the interim one

    1. THE Wild Rover

      He won't be interim if he wins today

  6. Greenbackbøøg…

    Please score Hull

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think they are too busy playing to be reading a fantasy football forum .

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They've got another 6 minutes

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fair point . Dear Hull please don't score .

        2. Camp No No
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yup, and they're probably all here until the coach kicks their arses on the field. 😉

    2. Les Bleus

    Time to WC?

    Forster
    Terry. Stones. Kone. Amat. Morgan
    Oscar. Theo. Barkley. Mahrez. Capoue
    Vardy. Grey. Aguero

    P.s. no United players allowed in my squad

    1. Stupendous
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jakupovic second keeper

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez to Ozil and you'll be fine

      1. Stupendous
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What about Oscar???

        1. DV8R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          How much money itb? Perhaps Mahrez to Lamela then Oscar to Haz

          1. Stupendous

  9. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Think I'm all set on this:

    Firmino + Morgan --> Barkley + Baines (-4)

    Wildcarding gw 6 probably so loading up on Everton players for now. Thoughts?

    1. noquarternt
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hahah, did you see any of the games today?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not the Everton one no, but noticed that Baines was still on pens and free kicks, and Barkley had some great chances as well. Watched the Liverpool one though. Not great those upcoming fixtures for Liverpool. And I'm wildcarding gw 6 anyway

    2. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it, Firmino got more points than Barkley today!

      If you must get some Toffees in, why don't you just do Morgan -> Williams?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That is correct 😀 Could do Morgan to Baines as well. You really don't think I should sell Firmino for Barkley?

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This

  10. sergioaguero67
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Has it become a compulsion to buy Alexis Sanchez now?
    Given he's playing striker?

    Will really have to compromise on some players then

    1. 7alwachi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      We just signed Lucas Perez, Alexis might go back to the left with Walcott on the right.

      1. Wurstmuncher
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What about Giroud returning is he also a threat to Alexis playing striker any time soon?

    2. MTPockets
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think so, but having an ars mid maybe.

    3. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      As Sanchez owner of seasons past he is bloody annoying and at this hefty price tag for this season he needs to be way more consistent. As often he is sent to the flanks and this greatly limits his returns. I think Ozil has greater value, seems to find himself way more central these days.

      1. MTPockets
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he's a great differential when on form, otherwise also prefer Ozil + better 4th mid.

  11. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to sell first? Got 0.8 itb

    A) Ramirez
    B) Tadic
    C) Both for -4

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B. His price is going to plummet.

  12. JIM BOB
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No de gea?

  13. Trae44
    10 years, 1 month ago

    24 Aguero captainer's in the Moderators league, 1 Ibra

  14. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Excited to see what it feels like to own Zlatan. Although if I didnt captain I dont even want him to score... right?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably. Effective ownership must be well over 100%

    2. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      True. With a Kun double tomorrow would result in a few green arrows

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It felt nice in GW1, but now everyone has him its boring

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      you do so it wipes out vardy

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah one goal would be nice

    5. TheBusDriver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    6. Mull
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you're in the top 100k this is probably the case.

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lol Im not

    7. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You still want him to score, of course. You can't captain both Kun and Zlatan. So you wish one you captained to score 3+ and the other to be happy with just 2. Simple.

      1. Davido989
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Someone seems to have your comment pinned to their profile.

        http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/profiles/pug-life/

        1. Camp No No
          10 years, 1 month ago

          😆 Quite pathetic, that rancour of his.

        2. Camp No No
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Btw, that's not even my comment, he's badly misquoting me, so I should probably bookmark my real comment just for the case.

      2. Mull
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That seems logical but it doesn't work like that. You gain more on them if Ibra does nothing.

        1. Camp No No
          10 years, 1 month ago

          The problem is, you're only counting it between two owners. There are also others who don't have Zlatan. His ownership is a massive 56%, but it still means that there are a lot of teams without Zlatan, and every time your expensive striker doesn't score, its those who don't have him who win.

          In short: there are a lot of players to own, and all teams won't have the same. You always from your players scoring well, and as long as your captain choice scores more than the others, you should not wish that your other players don't score at all just because somebody else might (and does) captain them.

    8. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same, except I basically swapped him in for Sanchez. Ouch.

  15. Les Bleus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No BAPs for Williams in a 1-0 win?! Go back to Swansea!

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If Baines scored the pen he would have had 1.

      1. Les Bleus
        10 years, 1 month ago

        2 probably.

  16. dhamphiir
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you have Aguero and Ibrahmimovic, which striker will be best option to fill 3rd spot? I normally play my team in 3-4-3 formation
    A. Defoe
    B. Negredo
    C. Any other striker below 7.1m

  17. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba time. Dont let me down douche bag.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He won't do well if you speak to him like that .

    2. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure he's reading this, and appreciates the way you put it. 😉

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

        Hey I've got this jog on mate 😡 😉

  18. Moin

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Only thing I am happy about is Both Musa and Benteke scoring equally. glad didn't make the transfer..

  19. Stupendous
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will Mahrez definitely lose pens then?

    They have had two in three

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Missed 3 of his last 4. Even the ones he has scored are unconvincing.

      A bit ridiculous he took them at all tbh.

  20. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who remembers when Del Boy, Uncle Albert and Rodders went to Hull and back? Classic.

    1. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Absolute gold, watched it the other day.

      "You mean we're going to drive the boat, Del?!"

      "No Rodders, don't be so silly!.....

      Uncle Albert's going to drive it!"

      1. THE Wild Rover

    Someone's TCd Ibrahimovic in my league... 😮

  22. Dr Dream
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I didn't realise Sanchez had a stormer....wow....Make your mind up time to squeeze him in before he drifts off into the sunset,

    Double rise at least?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have Ozil. Think he is still great option and will do really well again.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      quite hard to fit him in...

    3. TheBusDriver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably, but he dropped yesterday. That really sucked.

    4. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't you sell him on your WC?

    5. GuyIncognito
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think its worth it, never going to captain him with Aguero and Ibra. Think Ozil is a good option.

  23. HellasLEAF

  30. Bollard
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines is such good value this year and is effectively a 6th midfielder at 5.5m. Play him every week without thinking about it - sweet

    1. Jebiga
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He played lb or in midfield today ?

      1. HellasLEAF
        10 years, 1 month ago

        but is he still on pens after this debacle??
