Less than 48-hours after the end of the previous round of fixtures, the festive schedule serves up a Friday evening “treat” as Gameweek 19 gets underway at the KCOM Staidum.

Hull City’s home form could barely be more encouraging for Everton. The only side yet to chalk up a clean sheet in front of their own supporters, the Tigers also boast the joint-worst home scoring record, netting just nine times in as many matches.

Owned by 5% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Robert Snodgrass is clearly the man most likely to do the damage – the Scot has already served up three double-figure hauls at the KCOM.

Wins against Arsenal and Leicester in the last three have reignited Fantasy interest in Ronald Koeman’s men as the Toffees looks to take advantage of some fine winter fixtures.

With three goals in the last four Gameweeks, Romelu Lukaku has proven a more popular transfer target than Sergio Aguero this week, with over 50,000 FPL managers drafting in the big Belgian ahead of tonight’s deadline.

Koeman moves back to a four-man defence this evening after earning just a fourth clean sheet of the season at Leicester City with a three-man backline. Disappointingly, that sees the 4.0 priced Mason Holgate drop the bench and both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines reverting to traditional full-back roles.

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

    Jaku has to play now.

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Been saying it all season, marshall is one of the worst keepers ever in the PL

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        so you talk rubbish regularly then

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          A friend of mine previously played for hull so I follow them closely. I'm more disappointed that Japukovic doesn't get the chance he deserves

          1. John t penguin
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            You could put Jimmy giant hands in there and it won't help, what's in front isn't good

      2. Grant Ed
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

  7. Ryan Naysmith
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Can you bring Jaku back now???? Joke that he's not got his place back. Lukaku wasn't involved at all.

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Baines assist?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Mirallas

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        So lame Baines isnt on corners 🙁

  9. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Cant understand why Marshall has replaced Jaku?

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Big money signing for Hull

  10. Get up ya bum
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Lol Marshall has been a great signing in my draft league

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Lukaku owners getting trolled is nothing new

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Getting his owners up of their seats you would swear he just won the champions league 🙂

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Tried to tell the most eager to bring him in earlier today, and was laughed at.

  12. PvA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Going to tune in for the 2nd half

    Someone summarise what happened in the 1st?

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Holgate didn't start.

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      1-1

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Hull started well, set piece goal (Dawson goal, Davies assist)
      Lots of half chances for both teams.
      Hull calamity own goal right on half-time, Mirallas corner flapped into his own net by Marshall.
      Everton surely can't play any worse in the second half. Lukaku anonymous so far.

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers mate

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      The usual.. Hull playing really well and then getting hit by bad luck/individual errors

    5. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Err. Pretty poor. Dawson goal. Then Marshall own goal... Curtis Davies and Kevin Mirrales assists.

  13. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Marshall is a quality keeper who's just fallen apart at Hull.
    Loved him down the City, was actually the better of him and Heaton but looks devoid of confidence in himself and the players in front of him

    1. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Crosses have always been his problem

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He struggled with corners early doors. When he got confidence though he commanded the area well

      2. Neeskens Under Matip
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Like Jesus

        1. Gloria Leicesterfan
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          He's a vampire

  14. Numb
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Marshall OG
    Lukaku assist?

    1. Z
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Mbokani assist

  15. ChampChomp
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    They might finally drop that calamity now and get Jaku back in there

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He does take some, but only from the right.

    2. Christina.

  19. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Lukaku thought he was Kieran Gibbs there

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      That's such an obscure reference, I'll just have to take your word for it.

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I do the same sometimes.

  20. Twisted Saltergater

    Yaya in last week, Mirallas this week #jumponHull

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Great tactic to get a player for 1 fixture

    2. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Might start doing this

  21. Butcher
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero enabler. Want to make the moves tonight due to Kane falling

    A) Benteke, Phillips, Lallana
    B) Rondon, Cabaye, Coutinho

    Please pick one...

    1. Polo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho will not play next week though

      1. Butcher
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Already have Lallana so will keep funds in the bank

    3. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      both good options , B just for me

  22. JustPark
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Shouldn't had changed the gloves.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years

      Should've learnt English

      1. JustPark
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

      2. Crow
        • 8 Years

  23. Guy Demel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    To be fair, Marshall was taken out by his own player there.

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You're being kind, not fair.

    3. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think you can blame mbokani for that. No call? The goalkeeper either comes and gets it. Or not?

  24. Get up ya bum
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

  25. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How has Lukaku looked?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Tall, dark, and bored. Same as usual.

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Like Gibbs apparently.

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Like that troll out of Trolls.

  26. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How was that not given for Lukaku?

    1. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Patience

  27. Rains of Castamere
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Excellent from Carragher there exposing Williams.

    1. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Err, I still think Mirrales should be covering the wingback...

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          8 years, 11 months ago

          He can take cover every single run all match, Carra is right. Mirallas did as much as he coulf

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              8 years, 11 months ago

              WOW autocorrect decimated that sentence

              1. John t penguin
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Still can't work it out

        • The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah, everyone always blames Mirallas

      2. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Marshall didn't seemed to call for the ball on way out

      3. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Excellent analyses of the run up to the goal by Cara he is a far better pundit than he was ever a footballer

      4. Numb
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No assist for Marshall OG (FPL)
