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

    Would need some advice.
    Initial plan was to sell Walker after Hull and Burnley to a cheaper def to afford Siggy. Now that there is possibility that he might rested, when would be the right time to ditch?

      Who might be rested?

  6. Fantasytom
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    What you think guys-

    A - Costa, Sanchez and Ake in for Kun, Walcott and Clyne (-8)
    B - Nacho and Sanchez for kun and Walcott (-4)

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Neither

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        +1

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      A.

    3. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Rather A for long term. Clyne does have some great underlying number though . And captain Costa/Sanchez this week to make back the -8 probably ?

  7. FPLzebub

    Has anyone ever taken a -16 or -20 that has worked out?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      I'm on a -8.

        • 12 Years

        Hey buddy!

        Tempted to go more?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Nope haha

          I'm actually really happy with the -8.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      99.99% it ends in tears

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      No.
      I've took five -8 hits so far this season. I think only one has worked out.

    4. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Took a -8 this week. Ended up with 112 pts and improved my rank by over 1M places. 29 pts better off than if I hadn't taken the hits.

      1. Pino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Thats crazy, 28p hit??? and he actually earned points on it and did great.

      2. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Who is this?

    5. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      I really wanted to do Aguero, Couthino, Koscielny, Allen out Cedric, Costa, Sanchez, Fletcher in for -16 before this GW. People said it was madness so I backed out, but still really wanted to do it. If I had done those transfers I woud have earned around 20p more last GW even with a -16 hit. I was so mad I didn't do it.

      So stick with your guts, and remember its just -4p per player.

    6. Jay_
        9 years, 26 days ago

        -16 this week that I'm up by 3 points on but Snodgrass who I sold to go. -24 last season got a big green too.

      • Pino

      Repost from old article ... help please ...

      Lukaku and Walcott -> Sanchez and ?
      a> Austin -4
      b> Origi -4 (is he nailed-on)
      c> Wilson -4
      d> Just do Lukaku to one of above and save -4

      My goalkeepers are Foster and Grant who have awful fixtures. Would you
      i> Sell Foster for Heaton for another -4 (not sure if he's fit yet)
      ii> Stick for this week

        Yeah, I wish I could do that. I could care less about not scoring well, but it takes stones to not knee-jerk guys in when they're wreaking havoc.

              just thought it sounded like you were picking on the guy for being into computer games, in the context of an online games forum. apologies if that wasn't your intention, but that's how it came across

      Front 8:

      Haz-Firmino-Walcott-Snoddy-Allen
      Kane-Costa-Austin

      A) Walcott-->Sanchez
      Firmino-->Siggy
      For a -8

      B) Allen-->Siggy
      For a -4

      Thoughts? Other ideas would be appreciated as well! Thanks

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Don't like getting Firm out for WHU. I would restructure your mid in other ways to get Sanchez in for Wally

      2. IWR
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        You'll need another -4 to bring in a shoulder to cry on if you're selling Firmino before West Ham at home.

    15. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Was all set to do a simple Holebas > Alonso transfer, until Sergio decided to have a rush of blood to the head. Sigh.

      So which of the following look better:

      A) Kun > Costa/Kane
      B) Kun + Holebas > Kane + Alonso (-4) (No Chelsea space for Costa, but £2.2m ITB)
      C) Kun + Diomande + Pedro > Kane + Costa + Diomande (-8) (£0.6m ITB to upgrade Holebas/Evans, but looks impossible to get a Chelsea defender anytime soon)
      D) Something else

      Pickford (Jaku)
      Walker Cedric Holebas (Evans) (Amat)
      Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy Pedro
      Kun Austin (Diomande)

      1FT £1.8m ITB

      1. Pegboy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Difference between B) and C) is sort of Alonso vs Costa, which feels slightly weird to be debating.

      2. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        B a sound choice

      3. Pegboy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        C) Should read Kun + Diomande + Pedro > Kane + Costa + DE ROON (-8)

      4. IWR
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        B and take Costa for the nicer fixture than Kane this week.

      5. Neeskens Under Matip
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        How about Ibra and inenacho for a hit?

    16. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Take a hit for this defensive transfer? Price raises and rotation important factors.

      A) Walker + 4 points: uni, likely rest (BUR), HUL, sou, wat
      B) Alonso: WBA sun, cry, STO, BOU

    17. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Heaton (Pickford)
      Walker Kone Smith (Pieters Collins)
      Sanchez Mane Eriksen Sigurdsson (Allen)
      Costa Kane Austin

      1.1 ITB 0FT
      Anything here worth a hit or two?

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Alonso maybe. See my question above!

      Friends, how's my team looking? After consecutive top 10k finishes, I'm struggling to make any ground at around 300k. Anything worthy of a hit here?

      Pickford (Robinson)
      Alonso, Walker, McAuley, Amat, (3.9 fodder)
      Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Siggy, Capoue
      Kane, Costa, Austin

      0.0m in the bank
      FT already used

      Thanks

        Really good team. Get your captain right and you'll soon fly up the rankings

          thanks mate, here's hoping. Armband on Sanchez for now.

        How are you 300k? Solid team. Did you take hits this week to get there?

        1. MR SUNSHINE
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          I swear Fuchs has cost me getting in the top 100k! It was him or Alonso a while back and i chose the wrong one...
          Took a -12 last week as I needed to mix things up and luckily it bumped me up a little.

      Anyone else think Soton are too defensive with JWP, Romeu, Hoejbjerg in midfeild

      They should score more goals with a formation like this imo

      Austin
      Tadic/Long Boufal Redmond
      Romeu Hoejbjerg

      Sims has looked lively too
