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.

    These 5 changes worth a wildcard?

    Mane, Benteke, Townsend, Holgate, Watson
    ---- > Sanchez, Diomande, Pereyra, Baines, Capoue

    Really want Sanchez and Baines

    Hola everybody, horrendous start for me this season (my chosen midfielders have done squat!!!)

    Could I get your thoughts on this probable "no Ibra" wildcard team please...

    Heaton (Robinson)
    Hazard Payet Mané Barkley (Capoue)
    Aguero Defoe Benteke

    Need to get rid of VVD who's been nothing but a pain these first 3 GW's.

    Will hold to see if there's any more pressing issues over the break, but early thoughts are VVD > Williams. Thoughts?

    1. tafrère
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Seems good.

        He's got a great leap on him 🙂

    Probable wildcard for TV increase
    Foster/Heaton, Jaku
    Valencia, Holgate, Collins, McAuley, Amat
    Hazard, Barkley, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue
    Kun, Ibra, Negredo

    Requires 5 transfers. Thoughts?

  12. Ed
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fellow Tadic owners, who are you shipping for?

    Lamela looks like a good bet.

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 1 month ago

      finally gonna make the redmond move i think

    2. Texas Pete
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Either him or Cazorla I think. see below.

    3. tafrère
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sticking with Tadic a few more games.

  13. adidasOriginals
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Deulo - The Ox make any sense?
    Deulo due to drop tonight

    1. adidasOriginals
      10 years, 1 month ago

      cr@p move isn't it?

  14. Conk
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Martial to mesut seems obvious, right? Hopefully neither will go towards a price change for a couple of days

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

      Ozil predicted to go tommorow

      1. Conk
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ah, cheers. Ive a decision to make so

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    3. tafrère
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ofc.

      1. tafrère
        10 years, 1 month ago

        + Martial could easily be replaced by Rashford soon.

        1. Conk
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah he's been rubbish so far. The two assists in gw1 were lucky

  15. Texas Pete
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela or Cazorla? Other mids will be Haz, Barkley, Redmond & Capoue.
    Walker only player from spurs or Arsenal.

    Leaning to Caz at the mo for fixtures and pens.

    Thughts

    1. tafrère
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Cazorla. Never liked Lamela.

  16. CunkOnFPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    who to drop 1st:

    a. Funes Mori
    b. Long
    c. Firmino?

    do it now, or wait after internationals?

    1. beric

  17. Zizou
    10 years, 1 month ago

    a) mahrez > ozil

        I'm probably doing this tomorrow night. Doesn't look like any price moves for either tonight so will just make sure Aguero doesn't get injured

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

    Shall I WC?

    Heaton Robinson

    Stones Morgan Ward Love Amat

    Hazard Firmino Tadic Deulofeu Capoue

    Aguero Kane Gray

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have 7/8 players out so yea

  19. HammersFan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gray > defoe looks a good move if he is banned for hull game.

  20. ktk_interista

    I think this will be the season we see Soton stop being a top 8 team. Seems Koeman's exit has really hurt them. Is it time to ditch their expensive defenders? VVD owners are surely disappointed. Same for tadic. As a Redmond owner, I don't mind keeping him for now given his low price and being OOP but I woundl't invest more than the 6m in Soton. Maybe Everton will be the new Soton this year in fpl terms with Koeman in charge. The team to provide the best mid priced options. Baines, Williams and Barkley can prove to be bargains.

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Losing Wanyama and Mane are bigger losses than any others they've lost in my opinion.

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

        They have lost 2 to 3 key players over the last 3 seasons and have always coped well and even improved sometimes. Mane has always been so inconsistent for them and they never really built the team around him. Pelle as a classic no 9 has been missed imo butI think Koeman is the main issue. He is a very good manager. I am not sure Puel is nearly as good.

        1. Davido989
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Can't disagree there

  21. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    People been hitting the WC button?

    1. Moss
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely. Too much dead wood in my team ATM.

    2. Stupendous
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody has

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

    Firmino to Ozil
    A Yes
    B No

    1. beric
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino seems a good pick

  23. gemmalmr92
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do people mean by saying you can build team value on a scale? Keep buying and selling players? Any ideas what to do with mine to build value if I wc now?

    Foster - Pickford

    Stones - Valencia - friend - Williams - targett

    Hazard - Lamela - cazorla - fer - mirallas

    Kun - Ibra - Hernandez

  24. andrinho
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Pereyra?

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He seems a good option, might get him!

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ermmm just Stones and Aguero left to play and didn't captain him. Probably a big red incoming

  26. Stupendous
    10 years, 1 month ago

    In the 6 or 7 years of playing this game (not very well most of them, some better), I have never seen so much knee-jerking!

    People are using Wildcards for ABSOLUTELY no reason at all.

    Teams with the likes of Hazard, Lamela, Vardy, Ibra, Kun, Barkley, wildcarding.

    To get what????

    Spend 4-8 pts and save until you REALLY need.

    1. Fanta sea
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's just stupendous

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

      Agreed.
      Everyone needs to calm down.

      1. Stupendous
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This is coming from me, the man who used to spend 8-12 points a week!!

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          10 years, 1 month ago

          You sound like a guy worth listening to 😉

  27. Fanta sea
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I need to take Deulofeu out of my team. I have 8.5m to spend. Who should I get?

    1. adidasOriginals
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cazorla?

  28. Are you Shaw?
    10 years, 1 month ago

    i am going to post this again... why are people using the Wildcard so early :p ?

    its like people want to get all the big hitters every week.. i see people who transferred in Barkley due to the hype, are already transferring him out again lol...

    wait till GW 5 or 6, maybe even 7... to see who warrants being in a team for the long term

    1. tafrère
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I guess : First wave of WCs due to Ibra. Second wave of WCs due to Hazard. Third wave of WCs due to Ozil. Haha.

      1. Are you Shaw?
        10 years, 1 month ago

        true... but then people don't have a WC till Jan... and you'd want to use that one at GW 34 for the Double GW

  29. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How to get Ozil into this team without losing Firmino.

    2 FT 0ITB Willing to take a -4 if the suggestion doesn't damage my team too much.

    Foster-Jaku

    Walker-Stones-Shaw-Friend-Amat

    Hazard-Firmino-Lamela-Firmino-Capoue

    Kun-Ibra-Gray.

    Suggestions?

    1. Podge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lose at least 1 firmino

    2. Lukey27
      10 years, 1 month ago

      you can't have them all mate

  30. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Another poor score this week

    31 with Foster, Evans, Stones and Aguero (C) left to go

    Probably end up being an average week

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

      15 🙁

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

      A Wba CS would give you a nice boost. also around 2/3 of the game don't have Kun captain 😉 Don't lose hope yet.
