FPL GW8 Chip Poll

Bench or start Gross and De Cuyper?

Hull City v Aston Villa rounds off the day’s Premier League action.

Kick-off on Humberside is at 17:30 BST.

If you’d said before the start of the season that one of these teams would be boasting a 100% record and two clean sheets after Gameweek 2, and the other would be pointless and goalless, most of us would have thought the hosts would be languishing at the foot of the Premier League table.

Instead, a three-goal win tonight moves the Tigers to the top of the division. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…

TEAM NEWS

It’s one change apiece at the MKM Stadium.

Hull’s Sergej Jakirovic makes one alteration in midfield, bringing in one summer signing, Lucas Gourna-Douath, for another, Hidemasa Morita.

Deadline-day captures Christos Mouzakitis, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Robinio Vaz and Sorba Thomas are all on the bench.

And, as happened in Gameweek 2, all of Hull’s first-choice bargain-bin defenders shrug off knocks and niggles to start.

Unai Emery’s only tweak sees Tyrone Mings come in for Pau Torres at centre-back.

One of Villa’s own deadline-day signings, Ibrahim Mbaye, is among the substitutes.

£4.5m midfielder George Hemmings starts again.

LINE-UPS

Hull City XI: Tzolakis, Coyle, Egan, Mendy, Ajayi, Giles, Belloumi, Slater, Gourna-Douath, Stroud, McBurnie.

Subs: Phillips, Thomas, Hjerto-Dahl, Norton-Cuffy, Herrington, Targett, Mouzakitis, Vaz, Cho.

Aston Villa XI: Suzuki, Cash, Lindelof, Mings, Maatsen, Barkley, Kamara, Buendia, McGinn, Jackson, Hemmings.

Subs: Bizot, Ruggeri, Torres, Garnacho, Abraham, Mbaye, Bogarde, Wan-Bissaka, Alysson.

LIVE GAMEWEEK PAGE + MATCH CENTRE

You can follow all the day’s action via the Live Gameweek page, which you can find in the all-new FPL Toolkit section.

Here you can track the scores, watch the defensive contribution (DefCon) points roll in, see who the leading players are for xG and more as the games play out.

And there’s also the all-new Match Centre to explore. Here, you’ll find stats, heatmaps, rolling xG graphs and more on every Premier League fixture.

A lot is free for all, with Chief Scout Members getting full access.

Enjoy!

Some Season So far Reflections:
HULL HULL AND AWAY: With 2 clean sheets out of 3, seems Hull defence was the way to go v Coventry. Double Hull def the way to go: Egan and/or Mendy plus Goalkeeper.

ON BOARD SWEDISH EXPRESS TRAIN: As expected ISAK is finally starting to cook!! All those who ignored wise council to keep him are now clearly regretting it. His minutes will continue to be managed as Liverpool's only striker until Ekitike returns in Jan/Fen 2027 but time to jump on this Swedish express train as it gather speeds and leaves the station.

WIRTZ AND FLOP: As I told people pre season, do not buy wirtz [biggest flop ever] but many ignored that warning. Hey, the world would be a dull place without foolios to laugh at;-p The Wirtz at 10 experiment is an epic fail and about to end as he has been giving enough time to try and play himself into form without any sign of worthwhile success. Soon Iraola will finally start Szobozlai in the 10 and Liverpool will take off.

SPURS TO FIGHT RELEGATION AGAIN: Yes, despite spending over £400+mil, spurs have yet to get a win this season. Come MAY 2027, could they be 13th - 17th or fighting relegation for the 3rd season. Will the Mateus Fernandez relegation curse strike again [he was relegated at Southampton and then West Ham last season] and get spurs relegated? Will De Zerbi still be at Spurs in October following more losses or will he walk or be fired? When Spurs get dumped out of the cup at Liverpool will fans turns on De Zerbi? Top fan ExpressionsOozing has already given up. Seems like the smartest move at this point.

WOOP WOOP, DA SOUND OF NO TZOLIS: Arteta has a knack of tinkering to ruin top talent [Auba, Pepe etc]. Will Arteta confirm his FPL burial or will he still get a chance to prove the preseason expectation as buy of the season? Hold off on the move to Taverner over kluivert as his best replacement.

SANGARE FOOLED US: After a blistering week 1 prompting rise to 5.7mil, woefully poor week 2 and 3 followed. Wk 3 half time sub was precautionary due to being on a yellow card. However, are these 2 poor performances the real sangare for the rest of the season? Most likely hence not worth being in your squad. Enjoy your shopping spree with the 5.7mil
PS. Can someone in the US, tell Thiago the season has started and to return to Brentford;-p?

MAN CITY WOEFUL DESPITE 3 WINS: £325 Mil spent on midfield yet City struggle to trash Coventry as expected or did Coventry improve drastically? Haaland yet to get going properly with 1 goal wasting the triple captain unless others flop also using it on palmer at hull or bruno fernandes later on. Semenyo with an assist gets a reprieve. Cherki flopped proving the curse of FPL'S most bought player not returning any GA. Threat to Arsenal retaining the title yet to emerge under Maresca.

4.5mil DEF: Mitchell finally rewarded his owners with 2 goals following poor week 1 and 2 performance whilst budget 4.4m Konsa awaits if he plays at Chelsea cementing his place next to Gabriel until Saliba returns. However Dedic or De Cruyper are better alternatives than both going forward.

Further reflections to follow after Sunday's games. Feel free to request reflections on any FPL topics required.

  Given hull's defend as a team and being compact hence difficult to beat or concede 1 goal if not another cs. Sunderland have improved their backline with danso next to ballard but remain susceptible on the wing backs to a counter attack and have not hit the heights of last season surprise package. Not a fan of saka captain.
  Palmer will be the popular pick and if he comes alive and has an amazing game at arsenal later than expected him to be the no.1 choice with some triple captain chips deployed. However, he has yet to show back to back performances to convince that he is back.
  Manchester derby aint what it used to be aka close stalemates or edged by a moment of brilliance and bragging rights are at stake and man u defence (maguire martinez shaw) is shocking/poor.
  
  Haaland > Saka >Joao pedro > Palmer
