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

        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?

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

    • Ed

      Fellow Tadic owners, who are you shipping for?

      Lamela looks like a good bet.

      1. Tiamani Warrior
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        finally gonna make the redmond move i think

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

        Either him or Cazorla I think. see below.

      3. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sticking with Tadic a few more games.

      Deulo due to drop tonight

      1. adidasOriginals

        cr@p move isn't it?

    • Conk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 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

        Ozil predicted to go tommorow

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

          Ah, cheers. Ive a decision to make so

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        Yeah

      3. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        ofc.

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

          + Martial could easily be replaced by Rashford soon.

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

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

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

        I prefer Cazorla. Never liked Lamela.

    • CunkOnFPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      who to drop 1st:

      a. Funes Mori
      b. Long
      c. Firmino?

      do it now, or wait after internationals?

      1. beric

        B

    • Zizou
      • 16 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

    • Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

        I'd have 7/8 players out so yea

    • HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    • ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 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, 8 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, 8 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, 8 months ago

            Can't disagree there

    • SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years

      People been hitting the WC button?

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

        Absolutely. Too much dead wood in my team ATM.

      2. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nobody has

    • dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino to Ozil
      A Yes
      B No

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

        Firmino seems a good pick

    • gemmalmr92
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 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

    • andrinho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Thoughts on Pereyra?

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

        He seems a good option, might get him!

    • FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    • Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's just stupendous

      2. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed.
        Everyone needs to calm down.

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

            You sound like a guy worth listening to 😉

    • Fanta sea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

        Cazorla?

    • Are you Shaw?
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 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, 8 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, 8 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

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

        lose at least 1 firmino

      2. Lukey27
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        you can't have them all mate

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

        15 🙁

      2. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 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.
