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.

    Baines missed pen + assist; Given saved pen + own goal. Well done FPL.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure what you are getting at, that's correct

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

        Can the assist stand when it's not intentional? Baines never meant to set up given. Remove assist I say

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          The player causing the opposition own goal (by cross, shot or whatever) is usually rewarded with an assist.

          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          If a shot rebounds from the post and someone else puts it away it's an assist. Always has been

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

            Aye but I don't own baines so remove it is better

        3. Rainer

          Did Lamela flick it to Rose?

      2. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That it is correct is what I'm getting at 😀

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ah right, the well done bit seemed sarcastic 🙂

          1. Gaz Downright
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I agree. It's weird.... hard to give a compliment these days.

    lol Ibra's gonna win every header

    tinkering, which to go pls? thnx

    1. -4 mahrez + feguli + long > sanchez + fer + 5.8F(Stuani/Diomande)
    2. -4 mahrez + pieters + long > barkley + baines + negredo

    1. Oliver Tockman

      1!

    Rooney is SHOCKING. How is this guy playing every game???

    1. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      When did he get so bad! Such a shadow of what he was.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Ingerlandish

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

    Do we expect Mkhitaryan to nail down a spot soon enough?

    Tempted to snap him up in one of my draft leagues.

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think it's a case of as soon as mata and/or Rooney have a few shockers
      What are the chances though?

  6. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Your opinion on this wildcard ?

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Shaw - Stones - Holgate - Amat - Kingsley
    Hazard - Ozil - Cazorla - Fer - Capoue
    Aguero - Ibra - Negredo

    0.3m in the bank.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Dont like Double Arsenal mids or playing Fer every week. Colgate and Kingsley will be dropped soon.

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

        3 of those defenders might no be first choice after the international break

      • Oliver Tockman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'd rather Walcott than Cazorla

      • Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Don't like defence at all pal

        See mine below please. Unitedless squad on WC

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Rooney is world class.

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

          This post was delayed.
          Original pressing of "post" was in 2007

            Finally got through the moderation process

      • Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Really liking the look of WC...

        Heaton
        McAuley. Terry. Morgan. Stones
        Hazard. Sanchez. Lamela. Barkley
        Costa. Aguero

        Jakupovic. Capoue. Diomande. Amat

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          But Barkley didn't score today!! 😉

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

            I'm assuming that's a wind up. Of course they won't score every week.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Thought the 😉 made it pretty obvious.

        2. Manilaman
          • 16 Years

          No Zlatan?

      • NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Should I wildcard this bunch? Feeling extremely annoyed I took Sanchez out last week to accomodate Ibra...

        Foster // Jaku

        Shaw // Stones // Funes Mori // Pieters // Amat

        Haz // Tadic // Deulofeu // Townsend // Maloney

        Kun // Ibra // Long

        Really want to accomodate the big 4 (Sanchez, Hazard, Ibra, Kun) and Benteke, but don't feel it'll be possible!

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Pogba (FPL-wise) is a rich mans Kante / Dier...

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

          No he isn't.

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

          That's not true. He had 8 goals and 12 assists in 33 games in the Serie A. There might be better options but don't exaggerate.

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

            agree Rainer. not an FPL player at that price imo. better options

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

            Much, much better options at 8.5m

        3. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Except for those two being DMs.

        5. AnotherBareBum
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          lols dunno if your watching but he is further forward than martial most the game

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

            think he will contribute but will leave many frustrated with blanks, doubt will be a consistent source of FPL points each week. no set piece either. good player but a touch pricey imo

      • Oliver Tockman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        How many will be considering Perez once he arrives? Cheers!

        With Ibra, Valencia, and Jaku, a 0-0 draw would soot me fine...

        Doubt it.

        1. HellasLEAF

        Opinions on this
        Forster, Steve Cook, Steven Davis & Kane -> Foster, Stones, Sterling & Rondon?
        Could put Stuani instead of Rondon to save cash but then he contradicts Foster.
        Thanks ☺

        Tadic -> Sanchez
        Gray -> Diomande
        Courtois -> Foster

        Worth a -8?

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

          Time for WC. Hard to justify an 8er imo. but that's usually my philosophy

      • Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        watchlist how does one add players to it?

      • HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        How does a smart (I think) experienced (old-ish, I'm 37) fantasy premier league managers have 3 Southampton players in his team. From day one!

        MADNESS

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

          Because they had Watford and Sunderland at home in their first 3 games.

      • dogtanion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        anyone know when Gray is serving his one game ban??

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

          Didn't know he had one ?!

        2. rdamjan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          What ban?

        3. dogtanion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          thought he was charged afew days back and a ban inevitable..also a lot on here seemingly selling before Hull (h)? I'm thinking of buying!

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

            Wait until 31.8.

      • Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If Hernandez gets pts again I'll be pissed. Didn't get him only because of Hull's tough start.

        1. Lovren an elevator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You think he'll score well over the whole season?

          1. Studgie G
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Think so

            If he does well enough next few games I'm getting him

            He scored 21 gls in championship last season I think...

            1. Lovren an elevator
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Certainly did. Played well for Uruguay recently aswell.
              Hopefully he's this seasons Wilson/Austin!

      • Rainer

        Hows the Rooney + 2.5m & pens > Ibra camp doing?

        2. Nabs Kebabs

          Ibra has pens...

        3. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Bore off, who ever claimed he was on pens

      • JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years

        Morgan --> Baines a no brainer with those fixtures?

        1. Shearer & Sutton
          • 11 Years

          Yep.

        Tinkering with a WC team:

        Jaku - Pickford
        Valencia - Williams - McAuley - Byram - Amat
        Sanchez - Hazard - Lamela - Mirallas - Capoue
        Aguero - Ibra - Diomande

        1. southernpacific

          I'm thinking a double Man U def

      • Clump
        • 11 Years

        I didn't have the opportunity to watch the Palace game. How was Townsend?

      • Messien
        • 13 Years

        Tadic > Lamela today to avoid price change? Have 2 FT

      • Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        An Ibrahimovic injury would make our team's a whole lot simpler...

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

          One of the big 4 need a 4 month break!

        2. Lovren an elevator
          • 10 Years

          I'm sure a kun injury will soon be overdue

        • Oliver Tockman
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          How many will be considering Perez once he arrives? I'd be much more inclined to put him in as a forward then a mid, but I'm wary of him being registered as a midfielder as Wenger mentioned he might start him on the right wing.

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

            Only Alexis or Ozil from Arsenal are worth it IMO. Nailedness.
