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.

    people dont realise that Ibra (non captain) blanking is a good thing as long as your captain and differentials do better than your rivals 😀

    1. Rainer

      Kaptain Kun tomorrow will be massive!

      I've got Ibra but captained Kun - everyone in my mini league has captained Ibra so hope it stays like this!

      With such high ownership it doesn't really matter what he does.

    Has anyone not had a clean sheet yet this season? I've only had 1 (Foster in GW1)

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A United defender is essential!

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Indeed

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Terry today to add to Foster. 🙂

    3. CostaCoffee

      Terry Valencia Jaku
      2 more if Jaku and Valencia get another tonight

  3. The Donald

    United's strategy is to loop the ball into Ibra's general direction and hope something happens

      ibra new fellaini?

    2. Vedas

      Are they looking low energy, Donald?

      1. The Donald
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        A disgrace! Very low energy team! Sad!

    Who to bring in for Deulofeu?

    Thinking Barkley atm.

    Cheers

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

  5. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mikhi should be starting

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is he playing LW or RW?
      Playing well I'm assuming?

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Today has been poor in terms of FPL but good performances from Jaku & Pickford will hopefully stop their clubs from buying new 1st choices!

    1. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      haven't hull had a bid accepted for david marshall?

      1. The Cloud Watcher
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes they have.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Whole team ruined so.

    2. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pickford was at fault for the goal though

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Deflection no?

  7. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mkhitaryan looks sharp

  8. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Captained Kun but I just want a goal from Ibra to punish those non Ibra owners

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      We were punished last week. We buy and get punishment again

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I wasn't punished last week 😉

    Nice run Mickey

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Awful free kick from ibra

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bit harsh. Curtis Davies did well. Was probably going to force Jakupovic into a decent save.

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      has to be a slip. no excuse not to elevate that ball from that distance.

    3. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      he's having a shocker

  11. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    sigh...come on united!!

    get some pace in there movements

  12. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    At this rate Jakupovic can start every match in my team 🙁

  13. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Man u shouldve put out a diving team at the olympics. Last week shaw, this week mkhitaryan

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      desperate Mou tactics lol

  14. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can anyone tell me how was Mane earlier today? Did he threaten much?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, very promising.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I thought he played well today.

    3. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      "offside"

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah he looked sharp, had a goal disallowed for Lallana being offside.

    5. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      should have been sent off but looked as good and dangerous as always other than that.

    6. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks gents

    7. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mane looks very dangerous. Have my eye on him for Mahrez.

    8. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looked sharp in the first half and for periods during the second, had a goal disallowed on account of Lallana (the assister) being offside, caused all sorts of trouble for Spurs early on though.

    9. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He looked dangerous

  15. Fudge
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bailly looks the absolute nuts.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Would you like to touch them?

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rashford winner incoming.

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Love owning Valencia.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Kid at Xmas every time he goes forward!

    4. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic -> Sterling or wait until after the Manchester derby?

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        wait - does not look like he will drop tonight, and you Sterling price already rose this morning.
        So can as well see how he plays and whether he stays healthy

      Technical question

      I'm planning to WC

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You are ok

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's technically a statement not a question.

    6. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Valencia is so wasteful. So much good possession but no delivery.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        True. Hoovering up those baps with his rubbish crosses though

      2. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        at least he is high on Baps right now. crossing is lacking agreed.

    7. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard rising tonight?

      1. The Donald
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        http://www.fantasyfootballfix.com/ look it up?

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Replied earlier alongside Valdes question.
        Pay attention Jaf!

    8. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is 4.0 Jaku the one to roll each week???

      May as well put Foster in a bin and save the .5..

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        David Marshall says hi

        1. Mark-O
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Most likely as a backup since Hull is doing well

      2. Konig Luther
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        They are signing Marshall

    9. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      i will take a nil nil now!

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Me too, as long as Valencia gets 3 bonus

      2. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        this. United lose points and Valencia cleanie.

        win/win

      3. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not with a Hull cleanies please

      Technical question

      I'm planning to WC during the international break. but when is the most convenient time to activate it? I mean can I make transfers now before price rises and activate the WC later? What's the best way to do it?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I activated mine today.

      2. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Right now to avoid price rises

      3. The Cloud Watcher
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You activate the wildcard when you make transfers. It stays active until the transfer deadline for the week is reached. So if you are certain you want to wildcard, activate it at the start of the week.

      4. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Do as manu transfers as you like. Just remember to activate before gw4.

        1. Nascimento
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          True. I just didn't expect them to get away with it to this extent.

      2. twoplustwo

    14. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      On a WC, which one?

      A) Valencia
      B) Shaw

      ?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 8 months ago

          A

        • Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          A) more attacking + BAPS + 0.1 cheaper

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers for the feedback chaps.

            Valencia is pretty much nailed isn't he?

        • HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Mou can't hold back Mikh any longer.

          His quality is evident

          1. HellasLEAF
            • 16 Years

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years

          Seems that way!
