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 :/

  2. Fergietime

    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Sp0rting
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It was the 93rd minute

      1. The Devil Wears Prada
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He knows.

          1. The Devil Wears Prada
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Is that British humor?

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

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

    2. owls on the up

      Put 25 on zlat 1St goalscorer and a brace= I won nothing 🙂

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

        there there

  3. DV8R

    VALENCIAAAAAAA hohohhoho 3 bps

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

      Valencia owners rejoice.

      Shaw owners, it's our turn!

  5. Boz
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    Valencia BAPS lessen the blow slightly.

    1. Sp0rting
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Until he loses them

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

        He won't, 3 baps for him

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

          Rashford winning goal will change things

          1. owls on the up
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

          2. The Devil Wears Prada
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Nope, not with his yellow

  7. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A members only forum, please?

    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    Worth wildcarding?

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

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

  12. MrMaverick
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      errrm, pretty boring game no?

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

        nonononono

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

          It was dullsville..you need to watch more footie if u thought that exciting 🙂

  13. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ownership rules.

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

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

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That aswell 😀

  14. Mull

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

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      *behind

  15. Sp0rting
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

      🙂

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

      Well he was the only 4m playing keeper.

  16. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 9 Years

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

    1. Sp0rting
      • 11 Years

    2. owls on the up
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn't bother me i have kun (c) tomorrow!

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    Foster
    Jagielka/Evans/Souare
    Hazard/Mirallas/Gaston/Redmond
    Kun/ibra/Benteke

    jaku/Friend/Smith/Watson

  18. Boz
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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 😛

    1. ⚛Aeneas⚛
      • 10 Years

    1. Red Devil Swede

      9 years, 8 months ago

      • 10 Years

    2. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
