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.

    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'm 0.1 short of being able to do Tadic to Sanchez.

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

      Ozil and invest in defence!

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

      It's a sign

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

        to do a -4

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

          I do have 2 FTs so maybe I'll dump Manonne for a 4.0

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

    Got 1 FT 0.5 in the bank and no way am I playing my WC yet who comes and who goes out?

    Foster
    Olsson Bailly Stones Morgan
    Deulofeu Tadic Lamela Mahrez
    Aguero (C) Ibrahimovic (VC)

    Bench:Heaton,Capoue,Llorente & Amat

    A) Mahrez > Ozil
    B) Tadic > Cazorla

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

      Mahrez to Özil.

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

        Yeah I'm recruiting him might even put him as (C) for GW 4 too

    2. stuarto
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez > Ozil for me right now. Probably off pens now. Arsenal fixtures looking bright. Sell Tadic and he'll go on fire.

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

        Can't see Tadic getting any pts away to Arsenal if I'm honest but I'll hold on to him till GW 6 and see how he does cheers for your opinion mate.

  3. MoeZe3bi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'd appreciate comments on this team, thinking of WCing to this:

    DDG-Jaku

    Stones-Valencia-((Pieters-Amat-Evans))

    Ozil-Barkley-Redmond-Fer-(hojbjerg)

    Ibra-Kun-Costa

    0.1 ITB

    What do you think?

    1. MoeZe3bi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      this is my current team;
      DDG-Jaku

      Valenica-Azpi-Evans-Amat-Pieters

      Mahrez-Sterling-Deu-Redmond-Fletcher

      Ibra-Aguero-Gray

      1FT
      0.5 ITB

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd worry about no Haz

  4. Game of Throw-ins
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's the deal with Bojan? I just brought him in and he doesn't start. I really don't want to ship him out this week, but he might be the one to make way with Mahrez to get in Ozil/Sanchez.

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

      Unfortunately he is a rotarisk and it looks like hughes will switch his team to play horses for courses.

      Joe Allen has to be fully integrated yet too so I don't think we've seen stokes favoured system yet.

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

    Morgan to Baines or Terry for free?

  6. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Did Benteke get a yellow?

    Not updated on FPL but says he did on Livescore

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

      Seems he did.

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

    Any suggestions on how to replace Deulofeu with?

    1. 7alwachi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pereyra. Great fixtures, Watford #10 scored 3 weeks in a row.

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

        Had him on my mind, might go for it. They have great fixtures.

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

        But he has only scored once....

  8. HEY DUMDUM, GIMME GUMGUM
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Gray replacement.

    A) Defoe
    B) Benteke
    C) Negredo

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

      I'd say Defoe. But that might be out of spike that he outscored Benteke when I picked Benteke instead

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

      C

  9. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    We expecting ozil to rise in price ?

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

      Not today.

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        When you expecting to rise bro ?

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

          In 2 days 😛

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

    How's my new team looking? 7 Penos 🙂

    Jaku Pick
    Baines Evans Amat 4.5 4.5
    Hazard Caz Milner Ozil 4.5
    Kun Ibra Gray

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I had Baines and Mahrez today. Can't say that I'm a fan of the penotaker strategy...

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

        Just have to be patient with them.They will score eventually 🙂
        How many peno takers do you have in your team?

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Kun & Baines. Mahrez became Özil in a moment of anger.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      terrible

  11. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Any wc team on here with Kun, Zlatan, Hazard and Sanchez?

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

      Plenty...obviously to the detriment of the rest of their team though.

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Its not worth it, choose one of Haz/Saznchez..

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

    Looking at Watfords upturn in fixtures maybe getting Diomande and playing either him or Capoue may be a decent option to get funds to afford more big hitters such as Arsenal.

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

      possibly.

  13. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just to confirm.

    If I may transfers now (-28 points)

    Then I activate my WC - will this get rid of all the hits?

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

      Would be a pointless chip otherwise.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        😀 haha

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

        😀

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

      yea

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

    Tadic and Townsend -> Ozil and Fer

    Yes or no?

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

      would have got a good score this week.

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

    Arsenal's next 3fixtures are not as easy as it seems. I'd like to see if they can be consistent before jumping on to one of Ozil/Sanchez

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil is worth it

      1. Bubz

        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm captaining Ibra!

        1. Wilshere Knowledge

    3. Assisting you all day
      • 13 Years

      No games next week so absolutely fine

    4. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can't see any sure winners next gw so every team that fields 11 should be fine

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

      Have excatly the same team

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

        Lol really?

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

          No didn't notice you having Firm 🙁

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

      Looks sound. Wouldn't worry about the Vardy swap this week. I did the same, long term it should be fine.

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

        Cheers

    7. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lol same team 😀 Even the same bench....

      Well after I do Morgan to Baines as planned that is

      My gameplan is to wildcard in gw 6 to get some Arsenal boys in there as well

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

        Lol Im doing Fuchs to Baines

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Didn't you also save your FT gw 1 and did Alli + Vardy to Lamela + Ibra in gw 2? That's why I did 😀

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

            Yep 😆

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

    Sorry to post this a second time just wondering about it.

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

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

      Diomande can hold the ball decently but Hernandez is the threat for Hull; he could have easily been credited for the goal Diomande has. He's an enabler; Gray is a scorer.

  20. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Had Ozil in till last night. Everything I do this year is just going wrong. 🙁 Anyone else feel the same?

    28 pts, Aguero (c), Foster and Rondon left. WC used, bleugh.

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Oh, the Ozil replacement too was Mahrez, I feel sick.

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

        The articles this year up to this point have all explained how Ozil was out until week 3 so it's sort of your own fault. I have him in my dugout team, he's been on my bench for the first 2 weeks and I started him this week. The info is there if you look.

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

    DDG - Stekelenburg

    Byram - Williams - Shaw - Stones - Blind

    Willian - Firmino - Redmond - Bolasie - Silva

    Kun - Musa - Negredo

    Used my free transfer already.

    - Musa out?
    - Play WC?
    - City-United game, thoughts?

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

    Do we expect Gray to be suspended and if so, for how many games?

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

      Probably.
      All guesswork.

  23. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez > Ozil

    yay or nay?

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same move I wanna Make
      Yay

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        i'd prefer Alexis mind but don't have funds without requiring surgery

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Done

      1. stuarto

    RT @998KCFM: #SPORT: Mike Phelan says Robert Snodgrass was taken off as a "precautionary measure" due to a tight calf. https://t.co/PtPMbPwJeE

        Thanks mate

    2. JustWatching
      • 11 Years

      How do you see totals on a player page? It has totals from previous seasons but not the current one.

      1. TorresMagic™

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

          That doesn't seem to tell me the overall totals (except for points) this season (for example total minutes played/goals/assists).

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

            Previous seasons is a tiny bit of writing at the bottom.
            Click the i and play "where's Wally" 🙂

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years

      Jordan pickford nailed on ?

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

        Until they buy someone at least.

      2. Podge

        If you have to ask....

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

      I hope Fischer starts and scores a hat trick tomorrow.. and I'm a baggies fan! That guy is leaking funds out of my team like crazy! He just hasn't been a priority transfer yet! Anyone else in the same boat?

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

      Who's on penos for WHU? Noble's injured

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Be Payet.

        1. Chucky
          • 12 Years

          cheers

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's injured as well?

        Wauw no Cresswell Ayew Nordveit Carroll Feghouli, though times for them

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

      30 with 5 to play including Captain Kun, not the worst is it?

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

        Decent.

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

        Prety good I guees. 33 and only Aguero (c) and Stones left.

      3. Knowing Me Knowing You Saha
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Same

    7. The Curse of Falcao
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What to do with this lot?
      1FT
      £0.8 ITB

      Foster Jaku
      Valencia Stones Azpi Friend Amat
      Mahrez Firmino Redmond Bolasie Capoue
      Gray Aguero Zlatan

      a)Mahrez> Hazard
      b)Mahrez & Firmino > Hazard & £8.6 or less player for a -4

      Any other suggestions for changes would be really appreciated, i'm pretty set o Mahrez> Hazard already just wondering if it's worth any hits for other players.

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

        b) Hazard is essential. Rate my team has him (c) next gw. Firmino > Cazorla Bit of a risk with Perez coming into the team but Santi has been consistent and is on pens as well.
