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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez out? 😯 😯

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

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

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

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

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

  2. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Would hsve both firm and Øzil

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

      A Gray ban is imminent?

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

        Worth waiting to find out.

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

          A ban for what?

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

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

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

      WC transfers don't count.

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

      Wildcards don't count towards price rises?

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

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

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

            Player values are not impacted?

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

              Only by non WC transfers.

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Wildcard transfers will not impact price fluctuations.

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

          ouch .. say again...

  4. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Benteke to take over pens?

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

      No one can know

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

      Possibly

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

      Who the hell knows. Doubt it

  5. The Curse of Falcao
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

  6. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too late and that's 2 reasons

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        3 here from the start of the season 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

      Yes to United defense.

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

      Man City next.

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

      Wouldn't do it in Liverpools

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

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

    5. Cato Fong 你好

      Dublin or Kerry me auld son....

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

    Jay Rodrigez nailed now?:)

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

      No.

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

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

    2. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      God no

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

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

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

      Sanchez yesterday I think.

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

        *this morning

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months 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
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hmmm might have to ship Fuchs

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

          Careful how you say that

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

      Firmino + gray > negredo + ozil

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

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

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

  11. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahez -> ?

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

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

      A or C

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

      Ozil or Mane for sure

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

      A

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all.

    5. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

  12. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If the cheap one is your non starter then b

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

    Deulofeu to:

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

  14. Zebrahimović
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mirallas or Bolasie?

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

      Mirallas for sure

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mirallas

  16. Mick J
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    Discuss!

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

      It has been discussed.
      Read!

      1. Mick J
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry! I will do next time!

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not imo

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This

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

    What happened to Lukaku?

    Really had faith in him doing well.

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

      He scored 2 points btw.

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

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

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

      No.

      Maigh Eo Abú !

  19. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

      Get Jags or Williams instead?

    2. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Baines?

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

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

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

      Fletcher. 2pts per week

  21. Cruxian
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

  22. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months 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
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Deulofeu to Antonio?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Different, but I like it

  24. papabouba
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez > Özil ?

    Already got Kun Ibra Haz

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sure

  25. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      C0 for a -4

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

      C

  26. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just asking, what combo would you choose.

    Ozil,Williams,Diomande

    Lamela,Shaw,Gray

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      tough ... b for me

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

      B depending on Grays ban

  27. Merteswagger
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Both good picks longer term though

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

      Unlucky

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch

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

      Fook

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

    Who's "essential" so far then?

    United defender
    Hazard
    Lamela
    Aguero
    Ibra

    ???

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Diamonde as the enabler 🙂

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil, Sanchez

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

      Looking forward to see Micky getting essential in a few weeks

  29. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not Gray. See above.

      Considered Deeney?
