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.

    Alexis will play 2 world cup qualifying matches and fly a long flight back to UK a few days before next PL game. Does it make him less favourable to Ozil?

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

      Possibly that's my concern too

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

      Thing with Sanchez is, he seems to love that stuff. Th emore games under his belt the better he is

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

        I think he care more about his dogs than he does his fitness.

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

        His fitness condition is amazing.

    3. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Possibly. Ive already transferred him in tonight as i cant afford for him to go up to 11, even if he doesn't play in the first game back after the international break i think he has a nice run of fixtures and as long as he doesnt get injured (fingers crossed) on international duty it should be fine. Ozils stats are not great and Sanchez seems to play better the more he plays.

      That's why i'm skipping GW4 & getting him in for GW5

            You are correct. Seems they recently added it.

      Not seeing it.

        Same.

  3. Niemi

    Ôzil stats doesn't really look great.

    1. Henryyy

      This was just the beggining

      Tadic stats look great and look where that's got him.

      Played only 87 minutes in 3 gameweeks.

  4. West Hammered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Playing my WC are there any players likely to rise twice in the break so I can increase value?

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

      Fer has potential to. Already near 100, cheap and has form over multiple gameweeks.

      1. West Hammered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, will put him in now and hope he goes up!

    Dusan, you around?

  7. screamopilla
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do

    Mahrez - > Hazard
    Monreal -> Valencia

    for a -4pt hit?

    1. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Without hesitation

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

      Yep

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

    Kevin Mirallas took 8 corners today compared to Leighton Baines' 0. #BainesRepellent.

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

      How many penalties did he take though. Bainsey's back baby!

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

        You know that he coughed just as Baines struck the ball, right? #BainesRepellent.

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

        Except he missed it. Lukaku back on

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

          Nahhh it ended up going in. Doesnt count as a miss.

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

          Yeah great chance kaku has them again now imo

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He had a really good game again. Definitely one to watch/keep.

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

        http://i.imgur.com/epMP3Lh.png

        I like how central those touches are too, shame that his end product is a let down.

    3. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely an option if Redmond starts failing.

  9. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If Snodgrass is injured for long period, then sure Maloney will start the game?

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

    Glad I didn't spend too much time on bench order, they all got one. Who cares which replaces Friend.

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

    Got the money to do firmino to ozil....

    Is it a good move to make??

    Ta

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

      Yes i would do it

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

      Id just keep Firmino

    3. screamopilla
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No, bring in Cazorla for someone else, Firmino is mint

  12. Mr. Meeseeks
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Hazard, Sanchez a (sort of) must over the long run?

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

      Yup i think so

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez was very hot and cold last season. I would wait to see some consistency for his price tag (Arsenal fan)

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Im going ozil over sanchez, becouse i think they will get about the same points overall, sanchez being more explosive tho. Also need funds for payet later on 😉

    4. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tempted to go Ozil over Sanchez

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

      No, one of ibra or lunch is all you need.

  13. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    On WC, any guesses who will go up in price at least twice over the next two weeks? Going to get the likes of Fer and Holgate in to increase TV then fix the team before the next deadline. Thoughts?

  14. TorresMagic™

    GW rank updated.

    1. Bubz

      over 1 million with 39 points. For gods sake

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Another terrible start.

    3. Chucky

    4. Big Sum

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

      2.3 million GW rank, noooo

      Rondon,Foster,Stones,Aguero (c) to go

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

    Is barrow a starter for Swansea or is he a rotation risk?

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

      Starter

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

    Gray or Costa for 3rd Striker spot?

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

      Well obviously Costa but hes 3.5 million more expensive...

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

        3*

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

        Costa Kun Ibra
        Haz Ozil Capoue Ramirez Fletcher
        Baines Stones Evans Amat Souare
        Jaku Pick

        Any good?

  17. West Hammered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which option is better?

    A) Lukaku and Payet
    B) Ibra and Lamela

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

      B no question on current form

      1. West Hammered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Payet and Lukaku should both be fully fit after the break though!

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

      A

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

    Baines for 5.5 - penalty threat plus BAPS potential is good enough for me

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

      Straight in my team

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

      Didn't baines miss the pen? Surely kaku gets them back now? Can't believe he was happy not having them in the first place.

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

    Valencia or Baines?

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

      Valencia is bound to get assists and clean sheets. Id put him above Baines. Im going to have both though

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same question for me. I just can't come around to bringing in Valencia for the Derby. Aguero will do bits.

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

        Imagine him running into those massive holes City leave where the full backs should usually be though

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

        Yeah doesn't feel right getting him in pre-City

  20. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is this worth a -8?

    Firmino Tadic Eriksen Deulofeu

    >

    Hazard Lamela Walcott Bolasie

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      nope

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

      Walcott and bolasie not necessarily nailed....

    3. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      EW

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ok def not lol. Just not sure what to do with my midfield

  21. Third Eye Vision
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Williams was great today. Worth noting that he was only denied a goal by a goal line clearance, and he was also tripped for the penalty, so would have gained an assist if Baines had put it away without Given's help. I'm sure either of those would have put him in the baps, too.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pens makes Baines worth 0.5 more.

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

      Hmmm true. Not sure where his bonus points were though

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

      Williams better than Jags I assume? Just concerns me that Jags got bonus points while Williams got none.

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Some misplaced passes might have cost Williams baps.

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

    Gray to Defoe for free?

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

      I'd wait to see if Gray gets banned first although you can't go wrong with Defoe

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

      Yes. The lack of hype surrounding Defoe on here is bewildering

  23. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Are we expecting Andre grey to receive a ban for his misdemeanour....

    Or just a financial slap on wrist??

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

      Find out midweek.

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

      31st to appeal. Reckon he'll accept and get a fine with 1 game ban.

  24. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Upcoming GW is quite the captaincy dilemma...

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

      Alexis or Haz for me

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero or Hazarr.

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure if I'm willing to give that (c) to a midfielder

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

          Thought it would have been a no brainer.. Kun.. splendid record against us

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

    WC:

    Jaku - Pickford
    Valencia - Baines - JT/Vertonghen - Byram - Amat
    Hazard - Alexis - Redmond - Ramirez - Puncheon
    Kun - Ibra - Diomande

    3 CBs along with Alexis & Haz will start every game with Kun & Ibra. Other 3 positions made up of the best fixtures from the rest. Not set on JT/Vert, Amat or Puncheon.

    Thoughts?

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

    How did redmond look?

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

    A)Hazard+(Lamela/Cazorla)+Lukaku
    B)Hazard+Lamela+Costa
    C)Willian+Ozil+Costa

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

    Any suggestions on how to spend 10.6 across 1 midfielder and striker (not capoue).

    Don't panic about gw rank if you didn't take any hits, don't forget that gwr rank doesn't take hits into account. Stupid
