The Dugout Discussion – Middlesbrough vs Hull City

5 December 2016 921 comments

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

    How do we reckon the bans will affect the role of Gündogan? Not to comfy with him and Capoue as my 4th and 5th.

      Might fancy a more attacking role due to kun being out but I see KDB having the most leadership there , he might just step up big time to support city when they need him the most.
      Gundo might profit ,but hey , this is all just theory.

        Very few teams with DGW means the blank GW is very easy to prepare for, rewarding casuals versus long term planners.

          I see it the other way around. If there are lots and lots of teams with a DGW, then everyone will already have a team full of DGW players. If only a handful of teams have DGWs then it will take some preparation.

      This looks like one of those games where one team dominates the game then they get sucker punched by a freekick or a pen

      Sanchez, Kane and Costa should all triple-rise this week. These are the times we can gain an advantage over those who only make transfers right before the deadline

        Hope so! I pulled the trigger early on Kane last week and early on Costa this week. I've never enjoyed doing it to be honest but those 0.1s I'm learning are essential!

          Ye i know, but look at his stats over the last few games. They equal Firminio's and the price difference is substantial.

      What do I do if Kane looks set to rise again after tonight's rise prior to the deadline, given that I will be exactly .1 short of bringing him in.

      Another hit for Ibra > Kane doesn't seem right.

      Hennessey @ 4.3m. Has Hull next week. Could be a 2nd cheap keeper with good fixtures on the horizon. Any takers.
      I'm thinking Jaku to Henn for a hit & playing Henn over Foster next week. Palace should get a cs against Hull so the hit should pay off. Thoughts & thanks.

        Just play Foster every week. Palace's defence is laughable despite getting a clean sheet last week

        I am always partial to a bit of Hennessey myself

        He looks like a bargain you just never know when Palace could turn around and start getting cs there fixtures look great in January
