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.

    Thinking Firmino& Tadic> Ozil and Mirallas for free.

    1. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Seems logical, but could burn you. Would wait until after the break if you can afford it

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

    Can't be many time a keeper has got 3 bps after scoring an own goal....

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

      Saved a penalty.

  3. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like 3BAPS for Valencia

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

      Was always going to be his, even after Rashford goal

  4. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should I Wildcard this team?

    Foster
    Valencia Stones Friend
    Hazard Oscar Redmond Firmino
    Ibrahimovic Aguero Gray

    Jaku, Capoue, Pieters, Amat

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

      yes obviously

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Why obviously?

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

        sarcasm in case that wasnt obvious

        1. BB-8
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Haha Oscar Redmond and Gray are kak though

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

      No way. Take out Oscar though.

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oscar is gone for sure. Maybe Firmino too

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

      Worst team ever. WC before you need to delete your team

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        😐

    4. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Obviously not. Just lose Oscar

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This place gives me perspective. 🙂

        1. Dr Robotnik
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Oscar to Lamela and you basically have my team. I'm happy atm

          1. BB-8
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Firm and Oscar to Ozil and Mirallas on the cards

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

      Oscar for a Manu/Arsenal player if you can afford to.

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers 🙂

    Valencia Baines Stones Kone Amat

    1. Les Bleus

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

      Jakupovic set to rise , Fer close

      1. Jafooli

        What you reckon Westy, Valdez > Jakupovic tonight?

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

          Townsend going down tonight?

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

          Hull just bought a keeper from Cardiff.

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

            Yeah, that's not great news...

  7. Dr Robotnik
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    People talking about Valencia loosing BAPS because of failed crosses? Do they not update in real time?

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

      I think it's only disposessions that get recalculated later now

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

        And BPs lost for bad spelling.

      2. Dr Robotnik
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I see. So failed crosses aren't really dispossessions. I guess nobody really knows what's going on yet

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

          Are blocked shots countered as dispossessions?

          1. Dr Robotnik
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I doubt it, but don't really know

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

      crosses get BPS, whether failures or successful ones.

      that's what made Fuchs such a beast towards end of last season.

  8. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Did Redmond , Barkley , Mahrez , Martial & Zlatan really just score 6 points between them , against Hull , Sunderland , Swansea & Stoke

    Maybe the website is broken or something 🙁

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

      one of those days L

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      To WC or not to?

      Heaton Robinson(Burnley 2nd)

      Valencia Friend Evans Stones Amat

      Capoue Hazard Mahrez Tadic Redmond

      Costa Aguero Gray

      Have 2 FT. 1.6 ITB

      Already used one for Mahrez to Sanchez.

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wrong place. And yes. Unlucky.

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

    30 points and a big, angry 340k red arrow headed my way. Need something special tomorrow.

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

      Twice my score

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

      That's a good score.

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

        I assumed by the size of the red arrow it was pretty poor. Reassuring to hear it's better than I thought. Thanks 🙂

  10. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If that game ended 0-0, would Jaku get all 3 bonus points?

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

      Valencia was still over him

  11. the grinder
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Yes or No: Deulo & Tadic out Bolassie & Lamela in (-4)?

  12. Adams6
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can anyone tell me which is the most reliable price rise website this season? Considering a WC but reluctant.

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

      Fpl statistics.

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

    Guys do i need a WC?

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

    jaku/Friend/Smith/Watson

    Can do Ramirez/Redmond > Ozil or. Play WC. Thoughts ? TIA

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

      no need to wc

  14. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy and Firmino for Ibra and Bolasie for a hit went well then.

    Only lost 13 points because of making the move.

    Glad I didn't captain the big Swedish waster at least :p

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

    de gea, jaku
    VVD, stones, walker, friend, paredes
    hazard, tadic, barkley, fletcher, capoue
    kun, ibra, gray

    should i go for WC, defense looks too weak ??

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

    Hi guys, could I get some thoughts on this WC team?

    Foster, Jakup
    Valencia, McAuley, Baines, Stones, Amat
    Hazard, Ozil, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue
    Aguero, Ibra, Diomande

    Will involve playing 4-4-2 quite a bit I guess.

  17. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So relieving to see Ibra blank.

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

    Rose about 1.5m places today. I guess it makes up for my horrible start. Now on to tracking prices changes on my wildcard.

  19. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I feel like fpl hates me. My defence:

    RFM, Walker, Azpi, Friend, Smith

    Good performance from azpi but else:
    Walker - injured after 15 mins
    RFM - dropped
    Friend - injured, probably wont play tomorrow
    Smith - bench fodder

    Bearing in mind walker was just feeling sick apparently, is RFM > valencia good use of my ft?

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

      Walker Ill not injured as far as i know.

      Yeah United defence is a Mourinho defense always worth investing in.

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

        Forgetting last season 😛

  20. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    To WC or not to?

    Heaton Robinson(Burnley 2nd)

    Valencia Friend Evans Stones Amat

    Capoue Hazard Mahrez Tadic Redmond

    Costa Aguero Gray

    Have 2 FT. 1.6 ITB

    Already used one for Mahrez to Sanchez.

  21. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Reckon Barkley will rise again before the end of the international break?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think its Ozil, Sanchez, Hazard who are more likely to rise

  22. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Tadic's time up?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      to ship? i think do

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

    foster / jakup isnt great rotation....

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I transferred him in for this week.

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

      You don't need to rotate Foster imo - West Brom CS don't really follow a pattern.

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

      I'm gonna play Foster pretty much every week... I think Jaku's day's might be numbered anyway.

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

    Post was on previous page!

    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

    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 worth the risk 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!

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

      anyone pls??

  25. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like baps are updated. Valencia was on 39 and is now on 38.
    Bailly 37, Blind 36.

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I need Valencia and Sanchez/Ozil in my team!

  27. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Foster Jak
    Shaw Stones McAuley Friend Amat
    Sanchez Hazard Tadic Ramirez Capoue
    Kun Ibra Diomande.
    No need to wc probably but I would like double ManU defense and Baines. What do you think? Save ft?

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

    What are Townsend's owners doing? Keeping or selling?

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

      Selling most probably, Palace look very poor.

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm torn. He is playing 90 mins and Benteke could solve scoring issues but they look poor to me and im losing patient rapidly.

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

          They will definitely be stronger with Benteke but I'm probably gonna get rid of him. It's just not meant to be at the moment.

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

        I'm so disappointed. My worst pick in these 3 gameweeks.

  29. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I just knew it.. the week i did Vardy + Firmino >> Ibra + Bolasie..

    Both will blank and the previous 2 will score handsomely..

    and the day just happened..

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

      Exactly my moves too.So painful,Ibra's ownership was too high to ignore this move tbf

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

    FFF saying Fuchs is dropping. Seems okay on FPLstats though. Safe to wait, or bring in Baines now just in case?
