The Dugout Discussion – Middlesbrough vs Hull City

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

            Counting my chickens a bit here but a mild success on my -16

            Stones (1) Morgan (1) Coutinho (0) Lukaku (1) Snodgrass (2) OUT -16

            Cedric (1) Alonso (6) Sigurdsson (2) Kane (13) DeRoon (3) IN

            A small profit, benched DeRoon and Captained Kane so not entirely accurate.

              Autosub for Coutinho?

                    Who would you captain if you didn't get Kane?

                        Sanchez, but there's no way I'd have not replaced Lukaku for C Kane.

                        If it was going to be Aguero (-1) then that's a brilliant -16...

                  Bread theft is a serious problem around these parts!
