Gameweek 14 comes to its conclusion this Monday evening as Middlesbrough welcome Hull City to the Riverside Stadium.

‘Boro’s Alvaro Negredo is the most popular Fantasy Premier League player on show tonight – the Spaniard is owned by just less than 14% of managers after netting twice in last week’s 2-2 draw at Leicester.

Aitor Karanka’s side have mustered just one clean sheet in the previous ten yet will be optimistic of defensive returns, bearing in mind that Hull have scored just once in their last three road trips.

With the fixtures set to turn in their favour from Gameweek 17 onwards, the Teesside team offer us the chance for some early festive scouting in the 8pm kick-off.

Roberto Snodgrass is the Tigers’ likeliest source of returns.

The Scot has produced more than twice the number of FPL points than any team-mate, though has managed just one goal on his travels so far.

Having conceded 15 times in their last four road trips, it’s fair to say that Mike Phelan’s side face a tough task to chalk up defensive returns tonight.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      All of them I think

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I can never find it .

    2. Hibbo

      Fairly common market nowadays.

      What you fancy backing?

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Costa to get booked next week .

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Most bookies that offer football offer cards

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I asked because I can never find it .

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Oddschecker always a good starting point.

    4. Jay_
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Good little bet for tonight was on Skybet. Negredo and Snodgrass to score, Chambers to get booked, 25/1

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers . I think I will give it a miss I don't bet very often . I just think there is an FFS meltdown incoming 🙂

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 4 months ago

              I'll have a look for you and let you know the price. Usually they only do first player to be shown a yellow though.

          What u talking about? Hes not playing.............fooled me there

      • Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ramirez is a very tidy player

      • Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        First time I'm watching Boro. I'm getting this much talked about Roon guy. Steal at 4.3

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Is he playing well?

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yes. Constantly around the box. Would have had an assist if donkey Negredo didn't miss a sitter

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A 4.3 nailed on 5th mid would be great... THink he'll rotate with Traore though unfortunately

      • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Phil Jones at 4.7 anyone? 4th defender material??

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Bailly is back. Wait a couple of weeks

        2. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I like him but worried he could be dropped at any time.

        3. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe, I'm just waiting to see what happens now bailly back

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah true... Bailly will have tomstart you'd imagine. If mourinho takes a shine to jones he could be gold at that price though... Bailly has ACON in jan as well i think

        4. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yep he is playing very well with it a bargain he is on my radar big time

      • JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Already on a -4, but is Fuchs to Cedric worth making it a -8?

        Defence is...

        Fuchs - A.Williams - McAuley - Holebas - Amat

        1. BrockLanders
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Not for me

        2. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          What's your -4?

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Aguero + Walcott -> Costa + Sanchez

            1. Hibbo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Lovely stuff.

            2. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Only 1.4m short of the exact same move.

        3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          could prob work out long term, but you gotta eat the hit this week

        4. liiusions
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm looking at a -8 to get Alonso in alone, involves downgrading Cap to De Roon. I'd definitely say it was worth -4

      • BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        C'mon Alvaro don't let me down now..

      • Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        How do we think Aguero ban will affect KDB?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Positively. Just look at the 2 GWs Kun missed

          1. Jambot
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks, Will do

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He'll get over it

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            May even Captain himself

        3. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I think he will get better returns

        4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Thinking of KDB as a fourth big hitter alongside Costa/Kane/Haz instead of alexis. Think city will absolutely destroy a few teams now in retaliation for the chelsea loss... With KDB involved in everything they do going forward

        5. Sjaugen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Even on pens

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Nope. That would be Yaya.

        6. The Fantastic Mr Fox
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          As of 1 month ago. I didn't have the time to update this since

          KDB with and without Kun
          Matches – 23 vs 9
          Goals – 6 vs 3
          Assists – 11 vs 5
          Blanked – 13/23 vs 4/9 (57% vs 44%)

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            He does worse without Kun?

            1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              He does better without Kun

              1. fedolefan
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Aah ok, somehow got confused.

      • Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Why is Snodd playing RB?

      • The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Who has a player in this game?

        1. Jambot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm waiting for jakupovic to come on save a pen and score a header in stoppage time

        2. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I have 2 but none started

        3. bojack
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Snodgrass here.

        4. Jamie_GAWA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No but McLaughlin looks like he's tired

        5. Pipermaru
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          De Roon guy coming in from bench for Mata so I'm all hyped 😀

      • Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ramírez looking good so far playing on the right as opposed to in behind Negredo.

      • PMz
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Anything worth a -4 here? 1.8 ITB so can't afford Allen > Siggy and 0.1 off Son.

        Heaton (Pickford)

        Holebas Cedric Amat

        Allen Sanchez Haz Firmino

        Kane Austin Costa

        Subs: Hojbjerg Pieters Evans

      • John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Debating on this for a cathartic -8

        Already done Kun > Costa so Redmond & Holebas > Hazard & Ake pour un moins huit

        Would leave double Bou and double WBA defence lol

        Pickford Boruc
        Walker Brunt Ake Evans Amat
        Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy Fletcher
        Costa Kane Austin

        Oui or non?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Possibly

          Think Ake is nailed on?

          1. John Nerdelbaum
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            shipstontrev says... maybe

          2. John Nerdelbaum
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            im not actually that sure. could just do holebas > alonso for a -4 and maybe do firm > hazard the week after

            i want too many players!

      • joescores
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cedric, Bruntinho..Would you get Alonso (could only drop Bobby funny haircut Firmino).

      • chonks
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        want to bring in a chelsea defender

        who goes?

        valencia
        evans
        holebas or
        amat
        (other defender is Kosc)

        and would get gundog or allen out first?

      • Steevo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pickford* (Jakupovic)
        Alonso Rose* Vertonghen (Evans Amat)
        Sanchez Hazard Firmino Redmond (DeRoon)
        Costa Kane Austin

        Slightly heavier in defence & foregoing Siggy in attack. Thoughts?

        * is currently Cech & Holebas. Could bring in Valencia instead of Rose?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Consider Cedric in defence for Rose. Then see if you can upgrade Redmond.

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

        How can I get Costa into this front eight?

        Firmino - Mane - Sanchez - Redmond - Sig
        Kane - Benteke - Vokes

        I'm thinking at the moment of saving my transfer then doing this for a hit next week:
        Vokes > Anichebe
        Redmond > Any £4.5 who won't lose value
        Benteke > Costa

        Any other suggestions greatly appreciated

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Redmond to De Roon. Benteke to Costa. Vokes to whoever you can afford.

      • ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Robert 'Sanchez' Snodgrass to put the haters to rest tonight.

        1. IWR
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Lol

      • KISSES
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I asked earlier but eould now like to try a new crowd.

        Firmino & Walcott out, Can & Sanchez in (-8) with a view to be long term transfers, certainly through festive period anyway.

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No

        2. Lyonnais
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I could do this move with Allen instead of Walcott. Still not sure it's worth it.

        3. IWR
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sanchez will blank the next 3

      • The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Anyone tried saying 'Barragan' out loud? Sounds like a bargain if you're Irish 😀

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          😆

        2. Sjaugen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sounds like an extra from game of thrones

          1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            ahhhh ser barragan, what news from the wall

        3. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Only works if you say the g as a g, but should be pronounced almost like an h!

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I bet you are great at a party 😀

            1. Differentiator
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              What's that? 🙂

        4. Jay_
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Whale, oil, beef, hooked

        5. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Loving that Sanchez, Kane and Costa are all due to rise in price tonight.

        6. That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Will Kane rise to 11.2? Going to go Ibra > Kane (C) next week and would be devastated to miss it by .1

          1. Sjaugen
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah

            1. That Was Easy!
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              You really reckon another rise after tonight's rise?

              1. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Sure, the casuals and the Nerds only make transfers on a Saturday morning 😉

              2. The Big Fella
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah. It is only Monday. Costa and Aguero owners are all selling!

                1. That Was Easy!
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  Don't see it happening, Ibra going up at a much higher rate and 90% of transfers have already been made to bring in Kane have been made.

                  I'm more hoping, that would be ridiculous to take a hit to find .1 for Kane.

                2. Sjaugen
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                    Yeah - he was on the down last I checked at the weekend. Clearly people have had a change of heart! I need him to get a yellow card so badly hahahaha

                Gonna be 11.1 tonight, 11.2 Saturday at the latest.
                mun won't scare people away once they see he is close to rising, and then add on the ownership, IMO
                HUL BUR 😉

                  I'm just trying to get to the deadline at 11.1 so i can have straight cash for Ibra > Kane. Who knows, maybe Ibra will rise again.

          Heaton / Pickford
          Koscielny, Walker, Holebas, Evans, Amat
          Hazard, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Allen / Capoue
          Kane, Costa, Austin

          What would you do with this team?

          A) Allen ---> Walcott/Eriksen (-4)
          B) Allen ---> Payet (-4) (I've a shocking season so maybe it's differential time...)
          C) Allen + Koscielny ---> Sanchez + 4.0 non playing def. (-8)
          D) Firmino + Allen ---> Sanchez + 6.3 mid. (who?!) (-8)

          Options couldn't be much worse 😆

          I'd love for Costa to come back from injury and get a yellow card

            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Well he's not even injured so your dream has made a shaky start

            1. The Big Fella
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Hahaha he is not! He was on the down when I checked at the weekend. Well, we can skip straight to part B then and he gets a yellow next game 😉

          Everton confirm that Yannick Bolasie will undergo knee surgery after a serious ligament injury..

          Potentially out for the season!

          anyone else clutching at straws for FPL interest in this match?

          I'm thinking maybe de Roon (on my bench) could do something and rise 0.2

            If Friend miraculously came back from injury and scored that'd be good!

          What a load of rubbish this is. Lawrenson not making things easier to listen to on Five Live with his miserable attitude.
