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.

    What do you guys think of Tadic and Costa to Ozil and Benteke?

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Costa and find a way to get Ozil

      dont give up on costa...

      tadic plays in the wrong team and whole his stats mean little.. thats what i think.. i choose redmond thinking he is 2nd striker and costs less.. but if he doesnt do nothing next week i am of him as well..

      ozil for me a great choice with hazard for the premium midfilders duo... but cant afford him with ibro and kun up front.. since u have costa.. u just might

      1. jay01
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thing is Costa isnt getting the bonus points even though hes done something each match which is annoying, thanks for the replies guys, dont have ibra, i have hazard and kun

  2. jay01
    • 11 Years

    Are the Tadic owners planning on selling him?

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years

      Sold for Theo already.

      Fancy a Cazorla switch but not in a rush to do it.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years

      If it's any consolation if Friend gets more than 17 points you will beat me in our head to head .

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

      Same. I was like 1 millionth half way through the season last year. And the year before that when i came 740th I was about 2 millionth at this point in the season

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      lol Mark is ahead of me oops!

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

        I'm usually somewhere in the middle at the beginning.

        A mostly good decisions but always a couple blankers that drag my rank down as I show faith and resist WC

  5. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Oof, big drop...47.7 k....Kun (C)/Stones/Foster left...33 pts. I really need a City/Baggie cleanie

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

      Should be fine.

      1. Yank Revolution

    2. Les Bleus

      Yep

    3. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years

      No. Just get the points when you can and take the hits where you must.

    4. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'll say yes, but won't know really

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

        He'll get one for sure me thinks. But not sure about multi in this one.

        West Ham will manage to keep it close, City haven't been that prolific at home thus far.

  7. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    baines worth it after today....cant work out whether hell hold pks

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

      Theres no way Koeman is going to say "You got us a goal from that PK, but you hit the post so you're off them!!"

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years

        you know how paranoid we are on ere bubs........cheers tho

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

          Just seen so many people saying hes going to be off pens, and I dont agree at all

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

        Yeah he is more likely to say you missed the pen and but for luck it could have cosy us the game. He could follow this up with "why don't we let our 75m pound player who is paid a fortune to put the ball in the net take the next one? "

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

          You do realise Baines has missed like 2 penalties in his career right?

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

            You do realise he's missed the first one he has taken in ages right? Maybe the nerve is not there any more.

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

              It was a very well struck penalty

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

                I'm sure the others he took were well struck too but they must have been on target if he scored them? If he hit all the others that we'll and off target what do you think his record would look like? Was he younger when he was taking those pens?

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

                  The only way Baines will be taken off pens is if he takes himself off them. Like he did the last time he stopped taking pens.

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

                    Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he will defo be taken off them but I can definitely see the case for it. I think lukaku will be wanting them back asap for his stats.

    Do tonight

    Tadic to Cazorla ??

    1. Bubz

      Whats the rush?

      1. One Man
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Afraid of a price fall by Tadic.

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

          Hes miles away from a price drop

          1. One Man
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Sound thanks, is there some site I can monitor price falls?

      I see you post this update every week, but still have no idea what Last Man Standing is.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        We all stand in a line and get shot.

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It's got a bit of a Russian Roulette component to it too though

        1. Jonty Rhodes

            Tomorrow.

            1. Jonty Rhodes
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Same message today. The league is closed for new entries 🙁

                If TM isn't about. Then I will respond when he says tomorrow I would imagine he would be meaning tomorrow as in after this gameweek has ended. So ask him again if he doesn't see this and you may be in luck

                1. Jonty Rhodes

    4. Sauzée

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

      I worried that taking a -8 would hurt me for LMS. Currently on 36(-8) so six points safe with Aguero(c) still waiting. Phew! 🙂

  10. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hey so I guess it's Arsenal players in?

    A)Mahrez to Ozil

    B) Mahrez + Tadic to Sanchez + Bojan(free)

    Cheers

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

      Are Bojan nasiled? Didnt he only play 13min today?

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

      I just got rid of Bojan on my WC.He's not nailed

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

        Not B

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

        Hoping the Crouch appearance today was just for a mad laugh/old-times-sake and that Bojan is reinstated next game.

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

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

  12. Jonathan Feddema
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic >
    Lamela
    Antonio
    or any other mid under 7.5

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

    Foster
    Stones VVD Valencia
    Barkley Tadic Ramirez Hazard
    Benteke Kun Ibra

    Jaku Capoue Amat Friend

    Is this worth WC'ing? Or a hit enough? Most of their fixtures are dreadful on paper for next GW.

    Really want Arsenal coverage in mid & attack.

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

      VVD to Ev. Maybe Tadic out.

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

        Cheers. Who is Ev though?

    2. Loðbrók

      Nah ur good

  14. raff97
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How do price falls work? Say I get Eriksen at 8.5 and falls to 8.3, do I sell him for 8.4 or 8.3? A bit unfair if its 8.3, since we get only half if they rise

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      8.3

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

      Same as selling a car, no one would pay more than it's worth.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I agree it feels that you're not rewarded for good business. If you make the switch now you'll avoid the drop.

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

    Best 6m or less forward?

  16. One Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Tadic drop price in next 48 hours ?

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

      Hernanderz or diomande

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

        I'm guessing that was for me, someone said earlier Hernandez is the goal scorer at Hull. Diomande is a provider.

        1. Old Bull
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          So long as you're not expecting a goal glut

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

    Ville Ronka's rank is 1m if that makes anyone feel any better

    Will this be his first year outside of the top 5k?

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

      Nah he'll still get up there

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

      Don't be ridiculous

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

      Think it's safe to say he'll turn it around with ease.

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's GW3 😉

    5. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He might as well quit

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

        Bang average manager anyway

  18. SMELL MY CHEESE YOU MOTHER
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Are there any known Premier League teams' leagues on FPL? I've found the Crystal Palace one, and saw someone post Charlie Austin's on here today. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/leagues/standings/344595/classic

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

      Disappointed that Ledley doesn't have himself in his team

  19. So Troublesome
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    One week after wildcard.

    50 points

    Heaton
    Valencia Bailly McAuley Friend Pieters
    Hazard Tadic Ozil Bolasie
    Aguero Costa Negredo

    Dropped Tadic for Walcott today as I had 0.1 in the bank and his price had dropped to 7.4.

    Balanced the books.

    Thoughts?

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

      Downgrade Tadic to Fer and upgrade Bolasie maybe?

  20. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just noticed that ****ing Leko has dropped 0.1 despite being owned by 0.4%!!!

    I thought low owned dross like this didn't drop easily!

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

      Quite the opposite.. Low ownership means fewer transfers out needed for a drop

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Well there you go WR! Been playing this game for years and didn't realise that. Cheers.

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

      actually they drop the easiest, since their ceiling is so low

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

      A smaller ownership means a lower amount of transfers out represent a bigger % of the players overall ownership, so they drop quicker

  21. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bolasie or Mirallas?
    Bolasie also gives me funds for Friend to Big Ash down the road

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

      Mirallas. Bolasie, barn door and banjo.

  22. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    2mil itb. 1ft. Walcott --> Ozil?

    Green light?

    I'll wait for rise in case of injuries of course

  23. jay01
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone watch the Palace game? How was Benteke?

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

      Iffy. Should have had an assist due to Cabayes miss but there's goals in him, no doubt.

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

        Any chance he gets pens over Cabaye now?

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

    thinkin delofeu to caz is looking mighty tempting............

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years

        could be.....7.5 is a great prce assuming he holds off ramsey

      I'd be more interested if he had pens to himself. Caz is nice options if you can ride the blanks while Sanchez or Ozil light it up

        as a value for money question he interests me more than sanchez at the mo

          hard to disagree much cheaper.

    Hopefully the casuals will bring in vardy now and give me some value back! Fingers crossed...

    2FT

    Tadic + Vardy > Ozil + Benteke

    Good moves?

    Members area tables updated? Looks like some players' assists haven't been added but goals have.

      Are we talking non-OPTA assists like winning PKs/FKs and dodgy(Baines) assists?

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

        Yeah. They count in FPL so should be included?

    United/Chelsea clean sheets really bumping up that average, I think most 'casuals' have at least one from each team plus Arsenal coverage back there too.

      Agreed. Both should continue to keep CS as well.

        Would love to own Azpi

          Very tempted to WC just for the defence but it feels so petty.

          Everton, United and Chelsea are the ones. Sadly I have Man City and Southampton.

            • 12 Years

            Azpi. Stones, Baines, 4.0, 4.0 could work

            Scrap that, I forgot about Man U defence which is essential

      It's been a casuals dream start lol.

      Ibrah and Kun starting well hasn't helped.

      Hazard as well.

        Not really tbf as the scorers each week are changing. Having to shoehorn in those big players is a nightmare for the casual too as they struggle trying to identify the cheaper players with good fixtures and rotating defo.

    Tadic >
    Lamela
    Antonio
    or any other mid under 7.5?
