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.

    Hats off to Hull.

    Gutsy performance undone by that little bit of individual quality in the end.

    Hull will continue to surprise imo. Gutsy players playing for each other.

      Yup, deserved a point today :/

    Put €35 on united to win on the 83rd minute, €118 returns Noice.

    1. Sp0rting
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It was the 93rd minute

      1. The Devil Wears Prada
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He means that was the time he placed the bet..

        1. Mull
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He knows.

          1. The Devil Wears Prada

            Is that British humor?

      2. Fergietime
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry , meant to say I placed the bet on the 83rd min

      Put 25 on zlat 1St goalscorer and a brace= I won nothing ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Fergietime

    VALENCIAAAAAAA hohohhoho 3 bps

    1. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia owners rejoice.

      Shaw owners, it's our turn!

  5. Boz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in Ibra for Vardy and he blanks but couldn't risk it with his ownership. Valencia CS makes up for it though

    WC time now

  6. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Vard > Ibra knee-jerk was always going to troll us all.

    Valencia BAPS lessen the blow slightly.

    1. Sp0rting
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Until he loses them

      1. Keno
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He won't, 3 baps for him

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Rashford winning goal will change things

          1. owls on the up
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Can't see rashford getting enough baps from a 10min camo, well Id be surprised!

          2. The Devil Wears Prada
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Nope, not with his yellow

  7. That Was Easy!
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A late goal like that last year and I think I would've enjoyed reading the comments much more than this year. Strange crowd.

    1. That Was Easy!
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A members only forum, please?

      1. Shearer & Sutton
        10 years, 1 month ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice one

  11. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Terry Stones Shaw (Kone Smith)
    Deulofeu Redmond Tadic Hazard (Cook)
    Aguero Gray Ibra

    Worth wildcarding?

    1. Keno
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No, just work on getting Tadic and Deul out, would not blow a WC

  12. MrMaverick
    10 years, 1 month ago

    as a non-ibra owner, what a game that was to watch. For a second, I actually thought ibra had scored but what a game

    1. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 1 month ago

      errrm, pretty boring game no?

      1. MrMaverick
        10 years, 1 month ago

        nonononono

        1. Jellster
          10 years, 1 month ago

          It was dullsville..you need to watch more footie if u thought that exciting ๐Ÿ™‚

  13. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    It was so obvious that Zlatan will blank after every man and his dog has got him in. Its just the way fpl works.

    1. Sp0rting
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ownership rules.

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. And it was also inevitable that Vardy would score. I hate fpl.

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That aswell ๐Ÿ˜€

  14. Mull
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is it safe to come out from by my couch yet?

    1. Mull
      10 years, 1 month ago

      *behind

  15. Sp0rting
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The only thing I'll take from that game is that Jaku was a good choice as a second keeper.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ๐Ÿ™‚

    2. kalmoffit
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well he was the only 4m playing keeper.

  16. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'd just like to remind everyone that Ibra blanked. Hahahaha

    1. Sp0rting
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't he get any points today?

    2. owls on the up
      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

  18. Boz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Schmeichel injury yet? Hernia on FPL site sounds like it could be long term

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Claudio Ranieri: "Kasper Schmeichel has a small hernia. He was due for an operation on Monday, but he should be ready for our next match."

      1. Boz
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good news. That may have saved my WC. Cheers!

  19. Jamie_GAWA

    Is there much of an advantage wildcarding gw7/8, Ville Ronka does and he's an expert plus there is more money to be made gw3/4??

    1. Magic Man
      10 years, 1 month ago

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Stock Check took it's place. Scoreboard = FPL site.

  23. โš›Aeneasโš›
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gah bad captaincy pick leaves me hoping Aguero scores low - Funny this fantasy business... 3 players left to play and 25 - Pretty shocking stuff so far.

    But I didn't wildcard and prospective wildcard team wouldn't have done any better so there is that ๐Ÿ˜›

    1. โš›Aeneasโš›
      10 years, 1 month ago

      25 sans bonus
