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.

    Gray --> Diomande if it enables a banging midfield?

    Is there anything wrong with having one potential 2 point striker if you midfield is bringing home to bacon Baps?

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

      No right or wrong answer. Still prefer ozil over Sanchez myself

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

        Always Ozil for me. He chips away with the assists and the odd goal, slowly and steadily. Whereas Sanchez has a few explosive gameweeks and then pretty dry others but costs more.

      And if they dont?

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

        I've got Kun and Ibra though, they eat for 3.

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

    Not gonna panic until my last 3 + captain play tomorrow but gone from 100k gw1 to currently 800k!

    Team doesn't even look bad :/

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

      I've done pretty much same thing, its very annoying

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

    How was Capoue? does he look like he can still score against west ham?

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

      Coul have almost been awarded a dodgy assist today

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

      Should of had the assist for today's goal but no one got it :/

      MOTD

      Scouting time

      Only if shearer was still playing

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

      Talk that Perreya could affect how advanced he is?

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

      Looked sharp around the box from what I could see. Starting him Vs West Ham can definetely pay off. Watford looked sharper in the second half

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

        yeah was thinking of saving myself a transfer if gray gets banned i can play capoue

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

          This.
          More interested in what I'll do with Tadic or Bojan.

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

      Stuck in mye team - best enabler this season

  4. MGMT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Walcott or Ozil?

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

      Oz!

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

    Which combo will score the most points over the whole season???

    A.) Williams, Mkhityran, Diomande (3-5-2)

    B.) Azpil, Redmond, Rondon

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B I'd guess?

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

        I want Mkhi 🙁

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

      Why would you keep someone the whole season ?

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

        It's for one of my draft leagues where people can't have the same players

  6. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Mahrez>Özil
    B) Mahrez>Payet
    C) Mahrez>Payet + Tadic>Cazorla (-4)

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

      A

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

    Walcott > Ozil + Townsend > Marney. Yay or Nay?

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

    Is it worth disposing of Firmino in order to purchase ozil??

    Thanks

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

      Nah

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

      I would say yes but it wouldn't be a pressing issue in my team.

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

      yes

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

    Which 4.5 midfielder has the most attacking threat taking into consideration their position and set piece responsibility?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Gareth Barry?

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

        Really? Why?

        1. The Wise Owl
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Gets involved in play, has already assisted once I believe.

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

            He got a goal against the Albion but it was a bit of a scramble in the box if I remember correctly. Nothing to write home about.

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

      rodwell

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

        What position is rodwell in? Is he involved in free kicks?

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

            Not a member this year, I'm guessing his stats are good?

  10. RD
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Any 4m nailed defender...I already have Amat.

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No 4.0 defender is nailed however Love is very close

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

        He didn't start today?

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

    Seems it's time to get in an extra big hitter in midfield, at the expense of downgrading Vardy to e.g. Rondon or even Diomande (hello Sanchez!). But who should go:

    A) Lamela
    B) Redmond
    C) Ramirez

    Laning towards Redmond, Southampton do not appear very strong, and upcoming fixtures not good. What do you think, guys?

        Upfront. Yes

  14. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Did Martial come off at 59 or 60? Those two points are really annoying me.

    1. Niemi
      • 11 Years

      59:56

    2. Bubz

      Literally 6 seconds too early

  15. Jonny Sutt

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lots of people getting rid of Barkley. Quite interesting seeing as loads of people were transferring him in last week. Kneejerk.com

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

      Good stats.

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

      I will be moving Barkley to Ozil this week - if I don't Ozil will probably rise and I will be left behind. Rather Ozil long term to Barkley.

    Shaw Stones McAuley Friend Amat

    No need to wc probably but I would like double ManUtd defense and Baines. What do you think? Save ft?

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

      Save - neither essential next GW

  19. whosinmidfield

    best backs with good fixtures for the next few weeks?

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

      try actually playing the game

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

    Lamela or Mirallas? What say you?

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

      Pereyra?

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

        Who does he play for? 😳

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

          Watford 😆

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

            Thanks I'll have a look 😀

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs were poor imo . Lamela did not know anything about the assist .

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I didn't watch Everton

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

          I did. He was better than Lamela. He gets taken off early though.

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

            one could argue that's a plus as long as it's after 60 minutes - better chance of CS point

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

              Of rather having 30 mins attacking potential tbh.

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

              He'll be benched some games I think

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

        I agree. Bad price bracket at the moment that

    3. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Lamela
