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.

    That Vardy goal was mint.

  2. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    The amount of pens Skrtel and Smalling would give away with this tugging in the box would be hilarious

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

      Skrtel would give away 3 a match

  3. jmcclory123

    Williams looks outstanding value at 5.0m

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

      Penalty taking Baines worth an extra 0.5?

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hell yeah. What a player. Love the way he attacks the ball. Did he mop up the bonus points again today?

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

        😆

        zero baps

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Wow, i didn't think that was possible? 🙁

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Assume he has less to do at Everton.

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

              He was close . He was on 2 for most of the game .

  4. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Everyone transferring in Arsenal players, are you going for Ozil or Sanchez?

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

      Problem with Sanchez is the extra coin for me, I'd have to downgrade Towsend to someone like Fer or Wanayama to free up the cash...

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

    Only thing that concerns me about Baines being on penalties or not, is him taking himself off them. He initially took himself off of them because he wanted Lukaku to get more goals for his confidence. Now he's randomly taken one and 'missed' it. I dont think Koeman would take him off them for that, but Baines might step down himself again.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah true. I think I'm just going to go Williams and save the cash. At least Williams would be a long term pick at 5m.

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

        Yeah. I do hate Williams with a passion though. But that was Swansea Williams, Everton Williams might win me over

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

      He's a koeman full back. Pens a bonus

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

        Doesn't have the legs he used to though, would prefer Coleman if Baines wasnt on pens but of course hes injured. Williams good value too

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Barkley the egomaniac will no doubt has his say in the matter.... i hope!

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

        I just cant see Barkley being on pens. Swear his peno's last season were just a freak occurrence and in preseason nobody cared who took it

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Really? He seems like the natural guy to take them for me. Strikes the ball so sweetly

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

            It's not that he wouldnt be good at taking pens, I just think Lukaku would be the person to take them. Has been having his head turned by other clubs, would make him feel more like the main man and get his goal tally up. I cant remember what Lukakus penalty conversion rate is like though

  6. Vasty Deep
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Most nailed WHU defender?

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

      Reid

  7. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    ozil or sanchez

    money no object

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

      Sanchez

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Serious?

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sanchez btw 🙂

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

      Money no object Sanchez obviously. Ozil may be better value though

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

    Best option under 6.6 please? 🙂 (Have Redmond)

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mirallas is bang on 6.6 if you can afford that

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

        Got 6.5 🙁

    2. Veggente85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mirallas, Bolaise, Townsend.

  9. andrinho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Transfer in:
    a) Williams
    or
    b) Jagielka

    1. Veggente85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Williams for me. He created a penalty apparently.

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

    Mahrez has missed 3/4 of his last pens.....

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

    Lot of people got to be on Mahrez out, Ozil in right now?

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

      Yes

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

      Can't fault that.

  12. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Deulofeu replacements options? I have 1m in the bank.
    Cazorla the obvious option.
    Any others?

  13. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Got lucky today.

    I was all set to do a straight forward Coutinho > Willian swap last night but his injury(?) made me consider Tadic instead. Fortunately some wine made me get Hazard instead.

    Just watched MOTD and Willian, who made a miraculous recovery, was exactly the same as GW1...just as advanced as Hazard and looking like he's had the shackles taken off.

    Anybody considering a double up of Willian and Hazard...I actually can't see a better player in that price brkt...

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Was considering Willian + Ozil over Hazard+ Bolasie.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      There is an option for my deulofeu replacement that could do better then the likes of cazorla. Willian runs all day and always seems involved.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I've always liked him but Mourinho had him absolutely tied in knots with that tracking back lark...

  14. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    WC or -4 best here pls? thx

    a. WC to get:
    Court + Pieters + Paredes + Mahrez + Feghuli + Long >>>>>
    Foster + Baines + Holgate + Sanchez + Fer + Diomande

    or
    b. -4 mahrez + Feghuli + Long > Sanchez + Fer/Bolasie + Diomande

  15. Disco Pat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of wildcarding to get Hazard Ozil and Sanchez in with my already key players of Augero Zlatan Valencia and Shaw. Would give me 7 big players with Sanchez and ozil getting first full proper run outs today. What do people think....rest of squad would be weak

    Jakupovic Pickford
    Holgate Valencia Shaw Love Smith
    Hazard Sanchez ozil leko de roon
    Augero Zlatan Diomande

    My present midfield have barely delivered across the first 3 weeks

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Now would be a good time to WC if you feel you need to.
      I think it is a good idea based on your team.

      1. Disco Pat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks ag imirt pelle
        The team above would be my planned wildcard team by the way....which I know doesn't look great but don't know which of the new big 3 to miss out on in order to balance the squad

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I would keep an eye on the keeper situation though

          1. Disco Pat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yea I agree....should Sunderland sign a keeper then it's a case of 2 from 3 from hazard ozil and Sanchez as not possible to buy anyone cheaper in other positions

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How many double risers do we think there will during the international break?

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

      Still a couple of games to play but I think guys like Ozil, Sanchez, Benteke, Fer for starters...

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Quite a few, Arsenal fans are going to be bringing in their players for sure.

  17. cheese XL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Foster, Jaku
    Valencia, Stones, Friend, Amat, Soare
    Hazard, Firmino, Townsend, Redmond, Capoue
    Kun, Ibra, Gray

    Townsend & Gray > Ozil & Diomande worth a -4 or just use ft to ship Townsend?

  18. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Watching some highlights and United played quite well when mkhi and rashford came on didn't they?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep but that's at the expense of 2 very expensive players in Martial and Mata.

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

        Money is no object 😉

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

      Would be worried if I owned Martial or Mata

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yep even Rooney is assisting again keeping that bench out of site for now

  19. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Does these move justfied my use of WC ? Yes or No

    Mahrez --> Ozil
    Martial --> Lamela
    Ramirez --> Redmond/Bolasie
    Diomonde --> Gray/Rondon
    Morgan --> Williams
    Valdez --> Foster

    Foster* Jak
    Williams* Stones Evans (Soaure Amat)
    Hazard Ozil* Lamela* Redmond* (Capoue)
    Ibra Aguero Gray*

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

    Rooney did well there for that assist to be fair to him

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It was like hitting a boxer who has been on the ropes for 12 rounds, sooner or later they will tire and fall...

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

      Excellent piece of play but was garbage for the other 93 minutes

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Doing quite well all round really.

      Top for ICT creativity for fwds and fifth for threat....Plenty more pts to come from him.

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

        Yeah he may look like a crap real life player but hes guaranteed fpl points this season

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I said it all summer. It's impossible to play next to Ibra in that team and not score good pts....

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

    A) Ozil and Townsend
    B) Ozil and Bolaise
    C) Sanchez and Fer
    D) Sanchez and Wanyama

    Any thoughts would be great cheers guys

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…

    4. Kante Be Bothered

      you don't

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years

        you lose

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Impossible to field a decent team with Alexis Hazard Ibra Kun

    5. jmcclory123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez, Ibra and Aguero = 35.6m

      Over a third of your budget on three players

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Surely Hazard too

      2. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        + Hazard 45.7 half your budget

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

          and potential to score big on their day as they've already shown.

          managed o fit all and still have a good team. see below 😉

    6. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      WC. Best team i could manage to fit all four big guns (Kubra Hazard +Sanchez)

      Jak Pickford
      Williams Stones Evans (Soaure Amat)
      Hazard Sanchez Townsend Redmond (Capoue)
      Ibra Aguero Rondon

      (rondon or gray)
      (bolasie or redmond)

      1. jmcclory123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Looks pretty good

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

        thoughts evs ? i quite like it tbh

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ditch Jaku, Marshall is signing from Cardiff.

          Like the 3 Key def, would steer clear of other 2
          Like the MF (except Townsend)
          Strikers look decent.

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

            cheers mate 😉

  23. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Going to ship Deulofeu tonight before drop.

    Mahrez + Deulofeu to

    a) Ozil & Lamela
    b) Hazard & Bolasie

  24. twisterteo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure if to WC or not.....can anyone talk me through the benefits of doing it now or to wait for later..?

    changes needed are

    Tadic --> Ozil

    Long --> any guy who can kick a ball

  25. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Early days but Mane has been incredible

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

      I want him. Theres too many players I want.

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      There was never any doubt he would be mate. Maybe not this quickly but the guy is dynamite

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Was very lively 1st half today.

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

      Got him in my team for fhis GW as well. Felt he did better ripping defenses apart playing against Arsenal.

      I might have to downgrade him to Firmino for next GW though. What do you reckon?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I wouldn't be switching any lfc mids, could easy bite in the backside. Both are good picks

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

      Been very impressed so far

  26. The Cisco Kid
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I really would have liked to get that Mahrez pen to seal a great Saturday.

    Mahrez worth shipping out? Price drop tonight?

  27. Litts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    3 weeks without Zlatan:

    I'm actually content without him.

    Kept Vardy this week and that worked out well (saved myself 4 points by not doing it)
    Man city next week so that will be tough too.

    How long I last is questionable but at the moment I'm happy.

    Am I crazy?

  28. paza12
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with this midfield?! Have 2 FT and 0.9 ITB:
    Mahrez, Tadic, Barkley and Townsend

    Thinking Mahrez to Sanchez and Tadic to Redmond?

    Cheers 🙂

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

    Are people sticking with Townsend? I know Benteke is there now for assists etc, but has failed to deliver in 3 starts now.

    1. Cato Fong 你好
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Have him too, think he's gotta go, horrendous start with my chosen midfielders!

  30. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    WC is this worth it? cheers

    OUT: Court + Pieters + Paredes + Mahrez + Feghuli + Long >>>>>
