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, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Are the Tadic owners planning on selling him?

    1. So Troublesome
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sold for Theo already.

    2. tafrère

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

    I never start the season well..8th season in a row now. At least I'm ahead of Mark lol

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      What position is Mark?

        1. Bubz
          10 years, 1 month ago

          What a brutal week

    3. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lol Mark is ahead of me oops!

      1. HellasLEAF
        10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Should be fine.

      1. Yank Revolution
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But Berbs, I want to be great, not fine! 😉

  6. You Must Be Jokin Ere

      Not gonna happen

    2. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    3. So Troublesome
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Odikostar
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. HellasLEAF
        10 years, 1 month 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.

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

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Bubz
          10 years, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Dino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 1 month 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
              10 years, 1 month ago

              It was a very well struck penalty

              1. Dino
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                10 years, 1 month 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
                  10 years, 1 month 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
                    10 years, 1 month 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.

  8. One Man
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do tonight

    Tadic to Cazorla ??

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Whats the rush?

      1. One Man
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Afraid of a price fall by Tadic.

        1. Bubz
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hes miles away from a price drop

          1. One Man
            10 years, 1 month ago

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

        How did you manage to get .33 points?

          Magic, shhhhh 😆

        2. Neto

          that's interest from 2.5M sitting in the bank

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

      1. Davido989
        10 years, 1 month ago

        We all stand in a line and get shot.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. phace

      What's last man standing TM?

        1. Jonty Rhodes
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Its closed for new entries? I cant get in 🙁

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Tomorrow.

            1. Jonty Rhodes
              10 years, 1 month ago

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

                10 years, 1 month ago

                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
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Thanks buddy! That was really helpful

    4. Sauzée
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised to be through with 23 today 😆

      1. TorresMagic™

        Only tomorrow counts 😀

    5. ★Kuntheman★
      10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hey so I guess it's Arsenal players in?

    A)Mahrez to Ozil

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

    Cheers

    1. Loðbrók
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Chucky
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. HellasLEAF
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not B

      2. Third Eye Vision
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  11. MoeZe3bi
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  12. Jonathan Feddema
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic >
    Lamela
    Antonio
    or any other mid under 7.5

  13. Pirlø's Pen
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      VVD to Ev. Maybe Tadic out.

      1. Pirlø's Pen
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Who is Ev though?

    2. Loðbrók
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah ur good

  14. raff97
    10 years, 1 month 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…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      8.3

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Old Bull
        10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best 6m or less forward?

  16. One Man
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will Tadic drop price in next 48 hours ?

    1. Loðbrók
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hernanderz or diomande

      1. Jonny Sutt
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month ago

          So long as you're not expecting a goal glut

  17. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah he'll still get up there

    2. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't be ridiculous

    3. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's GW3 😉

    5. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He might as well quit

      1. Jamie_GAWA
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Bang average manager anyway

  18. SMELL MY CHEESE YOU MOTHER
    10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Disappointed that Ledley doesn't have himself in his team

  19. So Troublesome
    10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Tadic to Fer and upgrade Bolasie maybe?

  20. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month 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 Wild Rover
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

    1. Third Eye Vision
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas. Bolasie, barn door and banjo.

  22. SantiClaus
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    Green light?

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

  23. jay01
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watch the Palace game? How was Benteke?

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      10 years, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Any chance he gets pens over Cabaye now?

  24. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Worth it for pens?

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 1 month ago

      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

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. HellasLEAF
          10 years, 1 month ago

          hard to disagree much cheaper.

  25. Garlana
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2FT

    Tadic + Vardy > Ozil + Benteke

    Good moves?

  27. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Oki team set.marks out of 10? 🙂

    Jaku Pickford
    Baines Stones Evans Amat Souare
    Hazard Ozil Cazorla Bolasie Fletcher
    Ibra Kun Gray

  28. Davido989
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Davido989
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. They count in FPL so should be included?

  29. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    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.

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Both should continue to keep CS as well.

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Would love to own Azpi

        1. Davido989
          10 years, 1 month ago

          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.

          1. Bubz
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Azpi. Stones, Baines, 4.0, 4.0 could work

          2. Bubz
            10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's been a casuals dream start lol.

      Ibrah and Kun starting well hasn't helped.

      Hazard as well.

      1. Dino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        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.

  30. Jonathan Feddema
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic >
    Lamela
    Antonio
    or any other mid under 7.5?
