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.

    Just done Deulofeu > Bolasie and it feels like a mistake. Bolasie only a 2 week punt until I have 2 FT to make a real change! 🙂 Can't have another blank from Gerard!

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Deulofeu proven to be utter fail as leaves little choice without further tinkering (bojan subbed). Don't see any good options at 6.5m or less so looking like Watford double-up punt on pereyra...

        punt on januzaj

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks but not for me.

      2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

        Decided against Pereyra, I prefer Everton fixtures.

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 11 months ago

          I'm not swapping a rotatee for another.

      9 years, 11 months ago

      Gorkan Tore might be a good shout. West Ham have the best fixtures.

    3. mattk lfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Shaqiri could be a good pick if hes back

  2. Adams6

    What sites are we using to look out for potential price changes this year? What's the best?

    1. screamopilla

      I use fantasyfootballfix.com

    2. Adams6

      Thank you both.

  3. Everyday im Schneiderlin

    Good enough wildcard team ?
    Degea jaku
    Valencia stones mcauley collins amat
    Hazard cazorla firmino drinkwater capoue
    Aguero zlatan negredo

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Downgrade DDG and do firmino to Ozil?

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

        Would then do carzola to lamela

  4. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Could i get your thoughts on my probable WC team please 🙂
    Jaku
    Stones Baines(P) Evans
    Hazard(P) Cazorla(P) Ozil Bolasie
    Kun(P) Ibra(P) Gray(P)

    Subs: Pickford,Souare,Amat,Fletcher 0 ITB

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Needs more (P)

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        yeah can get Milner?Might even get Noble once he is back. 🙂

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

      Mine looks similar. I've for Barkley and Lamella instead of Ozil and Bolasie.

  5. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    You'd think with all their millions some of these lads could afford decent dye jobs.

  6. Steve
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    What to we think of first choice Everton centre backs then? Williams and jags based on today?

  7. twisterteo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Jakupovic Pickford

    Shaw Williams McCauley Souare Amat

    Hazard Ozil Firmino Lamela Capoue

    Aguero Ibra Diomande

    How this WC team look? Any obvious change needed?

  8. SpiderHands
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Jaku - Foster

    Fuchs - Stones - Valencia - Friend - Amat

    Haz - Firm - Lam - Red - Cap

    Kubra - Gray

    0 ITB.

    2FT and not sure what to do. Thinking of getting rid of Fuchs and getting some Everton cover somewhere.

    Thoughts?

    1. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Fuchs for Williams maybe?

      1. SpiderHands
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        That would be my initial thought, wondering if I'm missing something more interesting.

        1. SpiderHands
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Baines?

  9. paza12
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard or Sanchez? Struggling for the money for Sanchez!

    1. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd keep Hazard.

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

      Hazard for me. Pens

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

      didn't see the arsenal game yet - sanchez look good? didn't do much first two games

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

        2 assists and 1 goal. He was quality mate. Watched it live 😀

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

          had him GW1 and GW2 but took out for Haz this week 🙁 thinking of wildcarding to fit both

    4. mattk lfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard definitely. Could've had 3/4 today

  10. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Not sure what to do about my midfield, if anything.

    Hazard // Barkley // Tadic // Redmond // Capoue

    I have 0.9 banked - I'm planning on using it to do Gray to Benteke before GW4.

    I'm a little apprehensive about having two Saints midfielders, ahead of their relatively tough run. I could do something like Tadic to Lamela, but it feels a bit sideways and in light of the above planned transfer it would be for -4.

    Ultimately I'd really like Ozil but that doesn't seem possible at the minute.

    What do you think? Stick with the two Saints for now and bring in Benteke as planned?

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

      I'd wait on Benteke and probably do Tadic to Lamela first

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      im dumping tadic for ozil

    3. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Why do you both think losing Tadic is a good idea? Thought he had looked really promising?

      1. mattk lfc
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Blanks at home to Watford and Sunderland and only 2 goals for Southampton in 3 games doesn't look good. Fixtures only getting harder too.

        Could be a good one to revisit once he finds form though, was excellent at end of last season

      2. Adams6
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Only played an hour today when they need a goal? I'm looking to ditch him. Not sure who for though. Maybe santi?

    4. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Looks decent. Your problem has been that your bench fodder has been on fire and your field players less so. But The performances are there and results will follow. Only thing I would not really be happy for is having a double Saints attack at Arsenal.

      I would only sell Gray if he gets banned.

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

    What a penalty

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

      To be fair it genuinely was a really good penalty and Given did very well to tip it onto the post but the power was so good that it was destined to end up in the net somehow. Baines essential

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

        😆

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

    happyish with my team but about 2-3 transfers id like to make sooner rather than later. any reason not to use wildcard now? best time to get some TV? nothing amazing to use it on until the double GWs after xmas right?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Build TV through the whole season, basically all for the second wildcard.

  13. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Fantastic penalty from Defoe there

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

    Maybe Lukaku is slowly turning into Emile Heskey

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

      He failed me too bruh.

      Next week perhaps.

  15. Gonna mesut up
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    2nd attempt on this one sorry.

    a) Redmond/Mahrez to Sanchez/Cap (needs to be done tonight)
    b) Mahrez to Ozil

    (have 2fts)

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Depends if you already have a cheap midfielder or not mat. Wouldnt want Capoue plus another 4.5 in there. b if this is the case.

      1. Gonna mesut up
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        it would leave me thin in midfield for sure but its tempting to be able to have ibra/haz/aguero/sanchez in one team 🙂

    2. Cooper123

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. That 1 point lead in my head 2 head will make things interesting.

        I owe it to you a bit as Bailey in was my second transfer and it gave me another good haul of points. No idea where this leaves my OR but it if Aguero captain beats Silva and Stones I take the week in our minileague. You look to have won yours already?

    gooch success

  18. twisterteo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is the Jaku - Pickford choice too risky? It lets me afford Williams instead of Pieters..

  19. FPL Mentor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Help required.

    Jakupovic Valdes
    Shaw Stones Williams Evans Amat
    Hazard Mahrez Mirallas Redmond Capoue
    Aguero Ibrahimovic Negredo

    2FTs

    Worth doing the following?
    Mahrez 》 Ozil
    Redmond 》 Townsend
    Valdes 》 Pickford

    worth doing for a -4?

    If not, what would you recommend?

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

      why dropping redmond?

  20. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    It's a terrible dilemma.

    I have Ibrahimovic but i'm trapped in a loveless marriage with him...My heart belongs to Sanchez...I think I need a divorce.

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Get in the queue.I seen him first.

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Did you flog Sanchez on your WC Wakey?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Stupidly yes...

  21. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If price was no object, who would you prefer to have?

    Ozil or Alexis?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      sanchez

      1. Steve
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Ozil I think based on last years stats. Although I think i'm getting Sanchez as I'm happy with my team so don't need the cash that getting ozil saves me, it also givs me flexibility to swap him to anyone else if I want

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez but money is an object

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        this

  22. BLANKET DEFENCE
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who's the best Tadic replacement?

    1. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Does he really need replacing?

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Not necessarily. But if he wants to replace him, then there are better and worse options for that.

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard.

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Considering mirallas at the mo

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Willian.

  23. Net Gains
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Please can someone help me? I'm really having trouble fitting Sanchez in. Below is my front 7. All other squad members are already budget. I think I want Redmond and Tadic out (but I'm open to ideas) and I have 0.8 already in the bank. Thanks SO much!

    Hazard Lamela Tadic Redmond

    Aguero Ibra Gray

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

      you must be able to save something in defence.

      1. Net Gains
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe 0.5 somewhere. Any ideas on those players though?

        1. Steve
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Agree with twister. If that's your front 7 then you must have cash at the back

        2. twisterteo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Not much you can save there...I'd definitely keep Haz and Kun...so probably drop Ibra to Costa and Tadic to Sanchez

  24. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team please? 🙂

    Foster Jakupovic
    Valencia McAuley Baines Collins Kingsley
    Sanchez Hazard Mirallas Redmond Capoue
    Kun Zlatan Diomande

    1. Steve
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Amat is a more score option than Kingsley imo.

      Otherwise pretty solid given the 4 big names

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

      Formation?

  25. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Any thoughts on what transfers I could make to improve this team?

    Preferably want to bring Benteke and Ozil in but can't see how it's possible

    Foster
    Valencia - VVD - Stones
    Hazard - Barkley - Lamela - Redmond
    Aguero - Ibra - Gray

    (Jaku, Capoue, Friend, Amat)
    0.9 ITB & 2 FT

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

      I've downgraded VVD due to fixtures,you could get Williams in and save 0.5 for elsewhere

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

    Trying my best to avoid wildcarding at least for a few more weeks. Can do the following for a -4 hit. Thinking it will give me Arsenal coverage, and keeping up at least a bit on price changes.

    Townsend, Stones and Tadic -> Ozil, Amat and King

    My defence will be weak, but it's the only way im getting Hazard + Arsenal coverage without WC. (Can also do Gray -> Diomande, without taking a hit)

    Any thoughts?

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

      2.5 good players to 1 good player doesnt seem like a good idea

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

        Is Townsend really gonna outscore King much tho? Not so sure. Scared to go without, or fall behind on the price changes on Arsenal players.

  27. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Please help guys. Should I do Townsend > Rodwell and Walcott > Ozil? I have 2 free transfers.

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Certainly

  28. micsway
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Baines looking a option again? How did he look today?

    Fixtures to boot!

  29. Gregorini
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Any suggestions on this WC team?

    Boruc / Pickford

    Valencia / Stones / Evans / Friend / Love

    Hazard / Ozil / Bolasie / Shaqiri / Capoue

    Ibra / Kun / Negredo

    0.3 ITB

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Id definitely go Evans to McAuley and Shaqiri to Lamela

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

        Lamela is 0.6 more than Shaqiri so can't afford a straight swap

  30. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    only 26 points but not too depressed, if only Mahrez had scored the penalty and Leicester would have kept a clean sheet it would have been a green arrow. Some weeks are just unlucky
