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.

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

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

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

          Did Lamela flick it to Rose?

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

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Ah right, the well done bit seemed sarcastic 🙂

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

  2. AC Tomasso

    lol Ibra's gonna win every header

  3. Total Foot 5

    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!

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

    1. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ingerlandish

  5. JIM BOB
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 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, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

    2. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. Oliver Tockman
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd rather Walcott than Cazorla

    4. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Don't like defence at all pal

      See mine below please. Unitedless squad on WC

  7. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney is world class.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Finally got through the moderation process

  8. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      But Barkley didn't score today!! 😉

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

          Thought the 😉 made it pretty obvious.

    2. Manilaman
      • 16 Years

      No Zlatan?

  9. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years

    1

  10. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 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!

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No he isn't.

    2. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 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
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Much, much better options at 8.5m

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Except for those two being DMs.

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      🙄

    5. AnotherBareBum
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 11 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

  12. Oliver Tockman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  13. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

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

    Doubt it.

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Valencia CS please

  14. Lallana's Bananas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    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 ☺

  15. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    Worth a -8?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

  16. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    watchlist how does one add players to it?

  17. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

  18. dogtanion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      Didn't know he had one ?!

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

      What ban?

    3. dogtanion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

        Wait until 31.8.

  19. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

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

  20. Rainer

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

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Disbanded last week

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ibra has pens...

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Bore off, who ever claimed he was on pens

  21. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yep.

  22. mattk lfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Tinkering with a WC team:

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

    1. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking a double Man U def

  23. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hull parking a huge bus when not in possession.

  24. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  25. Messien
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  26. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      One of the big 4 need a 4 month break!

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm sure a kun injury will soon be overdue

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years

      Imgine if De bruyne hauls tomorrow.

  27. Jay_

    Snodgrass time....

  28. Mull
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Snoddy!

  29. Oliver Tockman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

  30. Rainer

    Heres Snoddyyyyyyy
