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.

    it was good while it lasted, but why fix something that's not broken?

    1. Rainer

      Jaku wont be dropped straight away. His spot to lose!

  2. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    which is a better combo?
    A - Ibra + Ozil
    B - Rooney + Sanchez

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

  3. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mkhitaryan was exceptionally involved once he came on. Must've had 5/6 shots, although he probably should've done better with a few. That run leading to Ibra's free kick was phenomenal.

    Rashford too, absolutely changed the game. Really hope for his sake he gets consistent minutes.

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

      Mkhi has surely pushed Mou to first eleven now. No impressed with Martial, Mata or even Rooney despite his contributions.

    2. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm seriously considering drafting him in

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

    Usually WC during first international break.

    May not this year though. Can you take advantage of the rises over the two weeks if you transfer in all the risers and then settle on a team friday before GW?

    Am hearing conflicting things on this..

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you transfer in the players, yes you will take advantage but that will be a bunch of hits.

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

        meant if you activate WC. transfer in all risers. wait. settle on team friday before GW.

        but as was mentioned. transfers in may be limited as not many hot options at the moment (save Sanchez)

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Then yes you could do that but you only make a 0.1 profit for every 0.2 a player rises. Keep that in mind.

    2. Luca Toni
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on the transfer activity. .For e.g. this week apart from Sanchez no one has performed exceptionally well yet ..hence he would attract the most interest .

    3. sindriseagal
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yes if you draft a player, he rises 0.2, you can sell him for 0.1 more, same when your using a wildcard

  5. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Arsenal fans, where did Cazorla play today?
    Was he fairly advanced?

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Apparently not according to another on here

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Box to box. He was quality though. Expect assists and penos

  6. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wayne Rooney is yet to blank this season...

    1. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well said +1

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

    Best transfer in for Deulofeu costing no more than £6.5?
    Rest of midfield and forwards are
    Hazard Firmino Redmond Capoue
    Aguero Ibra Gray

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

    43 so far, happy with that

    1. Luca Toni
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      thats amazing score ..

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

    Original plan was to wildcard in gw3. Should I pull the trigger or take a hit to fix my errors?

    Foster(Jaku)

    Fuchs-Stones-Valencia (Friend,Amat)

    Haz-Lamela-Redmond-Barkley (Capoue)

    Aguero-Zlatan-Gray

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

      You're fine

      1. Just Been On Loan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Almost identical team over here, just Shaw instead of Valencia (not a great week so far!)

        Feel like I need one of the Arsenal big hitters in there, and also want to move Fuchs out. Scratching my head wondering what my next move is...

  10. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can't afford Sanchez or Ozil, so should I go with Cazorla or Walcott? Leaning towards Caz with him on spot-kicks but worried about rotation for both.

  11. kinghenry14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    my team:
    foster heaton
    shaw williams friend kone pieters
    haz barkley lamela redmond watson
    kun ibra gray
    1FT 0.8ITB
    A) williams to baines(pens)
    B) get an arsenal player and if so, who?
    C) redmond to ___?
    D) save

  12. So Troublesome
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I dont have Ibra in my team, but I do have Valencia and Bailly. 6 points each plus bonus points.

    What a glorious day.

  13. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez>Ozil or wait?

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Get Ozil, he delivers.

      1. Ninja Škrtel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        cheers

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait til tomorrow at least.

      International break may spawn injuries too.

      1. Ninja Škrtel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        didn't mean right now..meant if eventually it's a good choice...

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, that will be my move most likely.

  14. PassMeTheSwedge
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    27 (after BAPs are added) with 5 left (including captained Aguero). How does this compare to everybody?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      37 (after baps) with 4to play including Kun Cpt

  15. sergioaguero67
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Walker replacement?

    Chelsea defender or Arsenal defender?

    Please help.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why replace him. Think he was just feeling ill.

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

    Did Mourinho just say that Smalling will be in the Europa League team?

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

      Yeah

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's going to be the safety score for LMS?
    35 with Kun,Evans and Stones left. Am i safe? 🙁

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      lol

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

        My captain has already played.That's why am worried 🙁

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      GW isn't over. A Kun hattrick would change things for example.

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's probably about 20 right now

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

    Although I don't fancy the United attackers, I see some potential in Mkhi as an FPL prospect. Really showed up today along with Rashford.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Only if he starts a few games in a row.

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

        Are you considering Mahrez > Ozil mate? Or going for Sanchez?

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I don't have Mahrez but I'd consider Mahrez > Ozil if I were in that position.

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

    Let the WC hit the floor

  20. Shultan
    • 10 Years

    When is hazard price rise likely?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tonight?

    2. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      47% and rising, I'm guessing tomorrow night you would see a rise

  21. Smythe
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Jakupovic keep his spot? Marshall wasn't in Cardiff's squad today and both club's twitters have confirmed that Hull's bid has been accepted.

    Jaku has

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

      *Jaku has less than 10 BPL appearances

    2. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He will for the time being. He has been excellent.

  22. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic and Townsend -> Fer and Ozil

    yay or nay?

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

      yay

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

    Best Deulofeu replacement who'll rise during the break?

    And will score loads of points after it.

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

        Physic Sofa?

        Is that what I need to hide behind?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      caz?

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      JR

    3. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez?

  24. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rondon or Deeney for the long term?

  25. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How many goals are we expecting from Aguero tomorrow?

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

      Hopefully 3, probably 1

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      2

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

      None.

      So anything else is a bonus

    4. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      5 no less

    5. ⚛Aeneas⚛
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      -1 and a slap

  26. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So Everton definitely won't be signing Hart? Going with Stekelenburg as my wc goalie at the moment.

  27. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    People saying "This a new Mourinho era" "A new United" "United are back" Just know they were going home with a point to relegation favourites Hull today until Mourinho brought on LVG's creation to save the day.
    Mourinho is a fraud and got lucky today, he will be exposed in the Manchester Derby, remember this.

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

      Is that you David Moyes?

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

      😆 laughable

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cool

  28. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys- quick question... maybe i am in panic for no reason. I have exactly enough money with -4 to do:
    Townsend--- Walcott/Carzola
    Costa to Negredo
    Redmond- Coutinho

    Im seeing townsend price may go down tonight.... Is it too early to make my changes? International break could result in injuries?
    Are the 3 changes above even any good to have to make a choice right now?

    My team will then be:

    Foster Heaton
    Shaw Stones Morgan Friend Amat
    Hazard Carzola Coutinho Gaston Capoue
    Kun Zlatan Negredo

    Please let me know your thoughts? may not have too much time!

  29. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Fer a better option than Snodgrass? What position is he playing in?

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

      Casual position

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Fer has difficult fixtures coming up, bear that in mind

  30. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Missed the game today - was Sanchez a lot better than Ozil? Worth the extra cash?

    1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, he was in all ramification

      No, not worth the extra cash
