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

    1. TorresMagic™

      Might need a defence. Too many risks for me.

    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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Seems good.

  6. Teror
    • 11 Years

    1. A.T

      No

    2. Magic Man

    Foster/Heaton, Jaku
    Valencia, Holgate, Collins, McAuley, Amat
    Hazard, Barkley, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue

    Requires 5 transfers. Thoughts?

  12. Ed

    Fellow Tadic owners, who are you shipping for?

    Lamela looks like a good bet.

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      finally gonna make the redmond move i think

    2. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Either him or Cazorla I think. see below.

    3. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Sticking with Tadic a few more games.

  13. adidasOriginals
    • 10 Years

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

    1. adidasOriginals
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      cr@p move isn't it?

  14. Conk
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil predicted to go tommorow

      1. Conk
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Ah, cheers. Ive a decision to make so

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah

    3. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      ofc.

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        + Martial could easily be replaced by Rashford soon.

        1. Conk
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

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

  15. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I prefer Cazorla. Never liked Lamela.

  16. CunkOnFPL
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    who to drop 1st:

    a. Funes Mori
    b. Long
    c. Firmino?

    do it now, or wait after internationals?

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

  17. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    a) mahrez > ozil

    b) mahrez > sanchez & gray > 5m

        • 13 Years

        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
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Shall I WC?

    Heaton Robinson

    Stones Morgan Ward Love Amat

    Hazard Firmino Tadic Deulofeu Capoue

    Aguero Kane Gray

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd have 7/8 players out so yea

  19. HammersFan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  20. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 11 months ago

    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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months 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
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Can't disagree there

    People been hitting the WC button?

    1. Moss
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Absolutely. Too much dead wood in my team ATM.

    2. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nobody has

  22. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino to Ozil
    A Yes
    B No

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino seems a good pick

  23. gemmalmr92
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Pereyra?

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He seems a good option, might get him!

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  26. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That's just stupendous

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed.
      Everyone needs to calm down.

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          You sound like a guy worth listening to 😉

  27. Fanta sea
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. adidasOriginals
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Cazorla?

  28. Are you Shaw?
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months 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?
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months 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
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      lose at least 1 firmino

    2. Lukey27
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      you can't have them all mate

  30. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      15 🙁

    2. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months 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.
