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.

    I already have Sanchez but I want Hazard and to take out Alli. The only way to get Hazard is to do Sanchez-->Ozil, Rondon-->Diomande, or Ibra-->Anyone.

    Have 2 FT, is any of this worth doing? Scared of not owning Hazard as his price will go through the roof...

    1. Rhinos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez out? 😯 😯

    2. Jonny Sutt
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you have Sanchez there is no point transferring for Ozil.

      1. Miami Monkey
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But I have Alli and want Hazard. Only problem is after price changes it's no longer a straight swap

    3. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you transfer out Sanchez? Just assess after the break.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Post your whole team?
      From that info all I see is
      Alli + ibra > hazard + rooney

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rondon>diamande should do it... Hazard is essential in fairness.

  2. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Ozil good pick.

    Thinking.

    Firmino-----Ozil

    and

    Gray-----Diomande for free.

    With a Gray ban imminent and Firmino underperforming is it worth it.

    1. Loðbrók
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would hsve both firm and Øzil

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A Gray ban is imminent?

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

        Worth waiting to find out.

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

          A ban for what?

          1. Yank Revolution
            10 years, 1 month ago

            His old tweets...should find out this week what happens (fine, suspension)

  3. Reed_Rothchild
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Watch out for lots of price fluctuations over the next 2 weeks. Many casual players are wildcarding.

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

      WC transfers don't count.

    2. Fingerspitzengefühl
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wildcards don't count towards price rises?

      1. Reed_Rothchild
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Players transfers in and out do as wildcards will impact as they won't lost points for multiple transfers

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

          Once WC is pressed, the transfers don't count.

          1. Reed_Rothchild
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Player values are not impacted?

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

              Only by non WC transfers.

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Wildcard transfers will not impact price fluctuations.

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

          ouch .. say again...

  4. Dynamic Duos
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke to take over pens?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No one can know

    2. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly

    3. Rhinos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Who the hell knows. Doubt it

  5. The Curse of Falcao
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Done my FT already. Mahrez > Hazard. Anything here worthy of a -4 hit? Got £0.2 ITB

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Stones Azpi Friend Amat
    Hazard Firmino Redmond Bolasie Capoue
    Gray Aguero Zlatan

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      There is 2 weeks until the next kick off so I'd definitely hold for now.

  6. gonzalocampos
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The only reason to WC now is that if you have scored less than 130/135 points + injuries or no playing players. Patience.

    1. Rhinos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too late and that's 2 reasons

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think the only reason not to wildcard is if you already have 2 of sanchez/haz/kun/ibra. If you have 1 or less you risk either major points hit surgery or being left so far behind that your WC is useless.

      1. BbBb
        10 years, 1 month ago

        3 here from the start of the season 🙂

      2. gonzalocampos
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have 3 also but again is the total points that you should focus regardless players.

  7. Mayo for Sam
    10 years, 1 month ago

    On WC, is doubling up a United Defense (or any other defense) a good idea?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes to United defense.

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

      Man City next.

    3. Rhinos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't do it in Liverpools

    4. gonzalocampos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      U r crazy, u already missed the bus, 1 is fine look elsewhere

    5. Cato Fong 你好
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dublin or Kerry me auld son....

  8. Loðbrók
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Jay Rodrigez nailed now?:)

    1. GreennRed
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.

      1. Loðbrók
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know, just want him to be, would be a great differential

    2. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      God no

  9. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know of a player dropping when not on 100% on fplstats this season?

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

      Sanchez yesterday I think.

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

        *this morning

    2. Clintymints
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah sure all the time

      drops harder to predict and if anyone is over -80-90% I'd consider them to drop

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm might have to ship Fuchs

        1. Rhinos
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Careful how you say that

  10. Flynny
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi ..got 2fts and 1.4itb.....no idea what to do...

    Clearly gray needs to go if suspended....

    Anyone willing to advise on what to do??

    Foster jaku
    Valencia stones friend kone amat
    Hazard firmino lamela ramirez capoue
    Kun ibra gray

    Advice appreciated...

    Thanks

    1. Jonty Rhodes
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I am also in similar dilemma. Wait for Gray suspension. No big price rises today anyways. Wait and see is what i am doing.

      Should I wild card as I have 2 free transfers left? Concerns over VVD, Townsend and even Mahrez now as well.

      Heaton (Foster)

      Friend, Terry, Van Dijk (Stones, Amat)

      Capoue, Townsend, Barkley, Mahrez (Redmond)

      Ibra (c), Aguero, Gray

      1.4m in bank.

      Also is last man standing closed now? I only saw the post now and really wanna join

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino + gray > negredo + ozil

      1. Flynny
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nice.....can afford exactly....

        But then I'd end up with ramirez and negredo from boro.....

  11. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mahez -> ?

    a. Ozil
    B. Mane
    C. Barkley/Mirallas
    D. Redmond

    1. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A or C

    2. Loðbrók
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil or Mane for sure

    3. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Rolls-Royce
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all.

    5. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  12. Clintymints
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A. Mahrez > Sanchez + Tadic to a 6.0 or less.

    B. Coutinho to Sanchez + Tadic out for a 4.6 or less.

    Any preferences?

    Favouring Cout out atm

    1. beric
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If the cheap one is your non starter then b

      1. Clintymints
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah for sure.

        Amat Holgate Stones Valencia Kingsley

        Mahrez, Haz, Sanchez, Capoue 4.6 or less

        Aguero Ibra Diomante

        ...that would be the outcome....

        Otherwise with Cout out it's

        Amat Holgate Stones Valencia Kingsley

        Sanchez, Haz, Coutinho, Capoue 6.0 or less

        Aguero Ibra Diomante

  13. Gerci
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Deulofeu to:

    A) Lamela
    B) Mirallas
    C) other option till 7.5

  14. Zebrahimović
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gray --> Diomande
    Allows me to use my other FT to swap Townshend to Ozil leaving me with a midfield and frontline of:

    Ozil / Hazard / Lamela / Barkley / Fletcher
    Ibra / Kun / Diomande

    Shall i do it?

  15. twisterteo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mirallas or Bolasie?

    1. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas for sure

    2. A.T
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas

  16. Mick J
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Going forward, get Özil or Sánchez? Is the latter worth the extra £1.4?

    Discuss!

    1. Rhinos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It has been discussed.
      Read!

      1. Mick J
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry! I will do next time!

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not imo

      1. JIM BOB
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This

  17. BPlease
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Lukaku?

    Really had faith in him doing well.

    1. BPlease
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He scored 2 points btw.

    2. GreennRed
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing. He's inconsistent. Wait for him to score in a couple of games before getting him.

  18. Mayo for Sam
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would you Downgrade Ibra > Rooney/Costa/9.5 to get in Sanchez?

    1. GreennRed
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.

      Maigh Eo Abú !

  19. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with Funes Mori (0.5itb)?
    Have azpi and walker.

    1. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Get Jags or Williams instead?

    2. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines?

  20. Jonny Sutt
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 midfielder unlikely to drop in price throughout the season?

    1. papabouba
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fletcher. 2pts per week

  21. Cruxian
    10 years, 1 month ago

    On a wildcard, 4-3-3 currently to get Kubra, Hazard & Sanchez in.

    Don't think it's too bad but how's it look?

    Foster - Jaku
    Valencia - Stones - Holgate - Brad Smith - Amat
    Sanchez - Hazard - Lamela - Capoue - Maloney
    Aguero - Ibra - Negredo

    1. AnfieldLad
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like it. Tempted to wildcard for the big 4.

  22. Jolly Good
    10 years, 1 month ago

    any thoughts on fer as sanchez enabler? (midfield of sanchez, hazard, redmond and fer)

    Or is it better to get another 4.5 (or 4.4), use capoue as playing mid and use the extra cash on defense

  23. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Deulofeu to Antonio?

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Different, but I like it

  24. papabouba
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez > Özil ?

    Already got Kun Ibra Haz

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sure

  25. Texas Pete
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Terrble week and midfield not performing at all.
    a) Mharez out for Hazard
    b) Tadic out for Lamela
    C) Both

    1. Texas Pete
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C0 for a -4

    2. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C

  26. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Just asking, what combo would you choose.

    Ozil,Williams,Diomande

    Lamela,Shaw,Gray

    1. Jolly Good
      10 years, 1 month ago

      tough ... b for me

    2. papabouba
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B depending on Grays ban

  27. Merteswagger
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Owning both Mahrez and Baines was a real sore one today, could've been so different....

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both good picks longer term though

    2. papabouba
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch

    2. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fook

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he's a different person now though...
      learnt to hide his prejudice and everything now he earns good money

  28. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who's "essential" so far then?

    United defender
    Hazard
    Lamela
    Aguero
    Ibra

    ???

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Diamonde as the enabler 🙂

    2. Sandy Ravage
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil, Sanchez

    3. Champione
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looking forward to see Micky getting essential in a few weeks

  29. Champione
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best striker for less than 7.0? Diomande/Stuani good options at a much lower price than Negredo/Rondon/Gray?

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not Gray. See above.

      Considered Deeney?
