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.

    How to get Sanchez into this team?

    Courtois Jaku
    Stones Valencia Evans Amat Friend
    Hazard Alli Townsend Redmond Capoue
    Aguero Ibra Gray

    I have 0.5m in the bank and 2 FT.

      You can't. Get Ozil

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

      Townsend to 6.0 or below mid.

      Alli to Ozil.

      All you need

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years

        This spot on!

        Cool. I was thinking this but Sanchez delivered pretty well today!

        Thanks everyone.

      gray>diomande
      Alli > Sanchez

      Gets it done with 0.0 itb. But I like Ozil over Sanchez and use the extra cash to upgrade Stones to Bellerin for upcoming fixtures.

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

    best 4th midfielder for 6,7 or less?

  4. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How did Lukaku look today?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Getting better.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Monday night vs Sunderland, perfect time to get him in then.

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Greedy & selfish today I thought.

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

        Sounds perfect for fpl then

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Could of got an assist if he passed it through for Mirallas today definitely not in my FPL plans.

    The inevitable Sanchez v Ozil debate will pick up speed soon.

    My opinion is:

    Ozil is far more consistent however Sanchez is very very explosive.

    This season (or at least currently) Aguero is nearly a nailed on captain with Ibra and Hazard other options. Taking this into account and the prices of these three I believe Ozil is a better pick at 1.4m cheaper than Alexis as we aren't going to benefit from captaining him and getting double points from those big hauls he can get, which is what would make him worth the outlay.

    Mr consistent Ozil will more than be sufficient enough IMO.

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

      double up

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

        At the expense of Hazard or Ibra?

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

        No chance. For too much funds tied up considering the other big hitters than are needed as those.

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

      Both are strong picks who should get around 200 points this season if they manage to stay injury free. It really depends on how much money do you have and who's already in your team.

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

      Cazorla worth a mention? Or will he lose his place to Ramsey?

    Reply if you are WC'ing before GW4.

      Are you?

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Depends on tomorrow and international games.

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Same here, but its unlikely I'll WC with 2FTs.

    How did Bolasie play today? Is it good plan to transfer him in for Deulofeu tonight before price drop. Or is there a better option ( have Redmond already)

    A Bolasie
    B Januzaj
    C Fernandinho
    D Ramirez
    E Bojan
    F Ibe
    G Any better suggestions?

    1. Lecky Legs FC

      G) Cazorla

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

      Not C for sure.

      I didn't watch the game but was Bloasie used as the right wing back?

  8. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    30 pts from (7) with Aguero,Stones,Olsson & Foster to play not sure how I feel about this.

      • 12 Years

      Think my transfers this week are going to be Tadic and Fuchs to Mane and Williams.

      Good moves?

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

        Fuch Tadic and show me the Mane

        1. jmcclory123
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Niceeee

      2. Trae44
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes

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

        yes but i would want baines not williams if possible

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

        Keep an eye on Arsenal too!

      5. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yep

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

      Firmino

      Keep or Sell?

      Please help.
      Thinking of taking Walcott/ Barkley/ Mirallas instead.

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

        Barkley is a decent shout, the other 2 are rotation risks IMO.

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

        Keep for sure, far superior option to any mentioned.

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

      So I'm seriously considering gray > diomande
      Tadic > Ozil
      I guarantee when these 4 teams play each other next week Tadic will score against Arsenal in a 1-0 encounter and gray will score a brace against Hull!

      1. Rafa is a Geordie
        • 11 Years

        Gray could be banned...

      Quick question

      I am not looking to WC, just thinking of takig a hit for a couple of transfers. (-4)

      At this point, I still have McAuley, Stones and Aguero to play tomorrow.

      (1) What would happen if I were to transfer players who haven't played their match yet for that week?

      (2) I am in a league with a group of friends, and we have a weekly prize for highest points. If I do the transfer now and take the hit (-4), will that be deducted from my current GW points immediately? I would like to keep my weekly GW points as high as possible on paper.

      GL bruh. Glad I am not running with Zlat.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        1) Nothing
        2) FPL are hopeless so you wouldn't see the hit in a weekly comp

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

          Thank you Senor El Nino.

          You can have my babies now.

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

          Let me get this right.

          (1) So if I transfer McAuley out right now, he'd still play for team in tomorrow's match and I would still get points from him. Correct?

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

            What's the alternative?

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

        I'd like to do the transfer asap to avoid dodgy price changes.

        Please find it in your heart to help answer a bruh in need.

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

        FPL rookie?

        1. you still get their points
        2. no, will be deducted from your overall score at the beginning of next GW. This GW you're safe. Then for next week, depends if your weekly prize includes or excludes hits?

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

          Thank you Shifty.

          Yeah my first year running. But that no Zlat in team was on purpose. I cashed him out for Pogba UTD spot and played Costa instead. Phew.

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

      hey guys quick question

      i'm about to take an 8 point hit. If say tomorrow i decide to activate my wildcard and do 2/3 more transfers do I still lose the 8 points ?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 8 months ago

          no

      2. One Man

        Website to find out who's dropping tonight ??

          1. One Man
            • 9 Years

            cheers

      3. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Martial out for Ozil is a no brainier right?

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yes IMO.

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

        2. Henry Hill
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          On the evidence of the Euros, and the start of the season, I'd rather have Xhaka than Pogba. Anyone else agree?

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Completely different players.

            • Slartibartfast
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Not at all.

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

              I'd rather have neither

            • red devil 7
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              no chance

            • Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              No way.

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

            I noticed Matic pushing forward into the box much more today than ever in the past. Perhaps new role with Kante covering and no Fabregas in the starting eleven? Maybe Conte instructing him to get forward more? Any thoughts anyone?

            At 5m could be a cheap Chelsea option with good run of fixures

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

              he's not a player I would rely on for attacking returns. Supporting cast player.

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

              Steer well clear.

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

                Never considered him but getting forward did catch my eye today. He got an assist and at 5m frees up funds for me to get Sanchez in. Otherwise someone else 5m and under. Not keen on Capoue

          3. KJT123
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            anyone know how long it takes for a draftkings contest to settle/pay out?

          4. Prison Mike
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Best option to bring on Mane or Ozil?

            Cannot wait to tap into the 100,000 fake accounts I made to influence price changes. #genius

            How much better is gray than diomande? Is he better? I've not actually seen diomande play!

          7. WE GO FOR IT
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Fuchs out for?

            A) Walker
            B) Baines
            C) Other

            1. Just For Kicks
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Williams

              • 12 Years

              I'm going to Williams

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

              Both great options! I'd go with walker if you have Barkley or baines if you have lamela. Just makes me feel better inside!

              1. WE GO FOR IT
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Have no Spurs/Everton coverage so far. Though I'm planning to get one of Lamela/Barkley for Tadic with my other ft.

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

                  Barkley walker is what I have. Williams not gonna pick up as many baps this year!

            4. nkhoughton
              • 10 Years

              Williams hands down

            5. WE GO FOR IT
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Williams it is then. Frees up the cash as well

            Need a replacement for Funes Mori it seems, max 5.5m

            Rest of defence:
            Azpi, walker, friend, Smith

            1. Giovanni Giorgio
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Bailly or Baines

          10. Giovanni Giorgio
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Worth getting rid of Firmino and Redmond to get Ozil and 4.9? For free.

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

              nah

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

            Taking Delafeu out who's the best 6.5m or less midfielder all suggestions welcome

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

            What to do with Redmond and Lamela? Keep?

            Lamela didn't do nothing besides that jammy assist and Spurs looked poor in overall

              looking to sell them both. but not sure who else at 6.0 and below to replace redmond with.

              all a shower of sh*te at the moment.

              Keep, poor fixtures next week but you'll regret making moves when they play SWA & SUN in GW5

            Sanchez in for Mahrez

            Tadic out for a 6.0 or less...

            Is there a viable option for 6.0 or less? Shame I miss Redmond by .1

            Also, Holgate in for Friend? Them fixtures are super juicy if he keeps his spot!?

            Yay/nay?

              Holgate is gone once coleman is fit I'd say unless koeman goes back to three at the back.

                You reckon? Decent performances and has played MF too. Might be worth a few pennies over the break too. He is due to rise today or tomorrow

                  Yeah defo. He looks a good young player but can't see him staying in ahead of the other players he is competing with once coleman is fit.
