Gameweek 4 comes to its conclusion this evening as Hull play host to West Ham at the KC. It’s one of those occasions where a goalless draw may best serve Fantasy managers – neither team has a midfielder or attacker with over 3% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, a clear sign of our lack of faith in their respective attacks.

The team news is in and sees Steve Bruce make two changes from the side that lost to Villa last time around. New boys Mo Diame and Abel Hernandez both come into the starting XI at the expense of Tom Ince and Paul McShane, while fellow deadline-day signings Hatem Ben Arfa and Gaston Ramirez are afforded a place on the bench. James Chester is also amongst the subs as the Tigers boss opts for a four-man backline.

Sam Allardyce makes a trio of alterations to his first-team. Guy Demel comes in for Joey O’Brien at right-back, while summer signings Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia get the nod as Carlton Cole and Ricardo vaz Te drop to the bench. Carl Jenkinson recovers from injury to be named amongst the subs along with new boys Alex Song and Morgan Amalfitano.

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

    My pre-season thoughts...(Hmmm, maybe I should get Eric Dier...)

    GW 1 - 15 points
    GW 2 - 14 points

    I pick him up.

    GW 3 - 1 point
    GW 4 - 0 points

    I hate fantasy football.

      there's a movie called The Cooler. fits Dier.

      His returns were unsustainable. 2 shots 2 goals, one of them being as a centre forward!

    RMT PLEASE
    Krul
    Mosquillo, ivanovic, clyne
    Siggy,sterling, di maria, Ramsey, fabregas
    Costa,welbeck

    Nasmith, Chester, Hutton on the bench

    1. ASAP Rocky

      Chester > Naylor

      Great team. 8.5/10.

  3. RamaJama

    If on a WC, Rooney or Di Maria?

    1. ASAP Rocky
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      ADM

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Depends really. Between them 2 I'd want Rooney. But taking other things into consideration I'd probably want other strikers more and would be more likely to be able to fit Maria in than Rooney.

    3. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 12 Years

      rooney

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Have this team now:
      Krul, Gilks
      Hutton, PvA, Moore, Wilson, Dummett
      Ramsey, Fab, Siggy, Sterling, Albrighton
      Aguero, Rooney, Costa

      Want WC team:
      Forster / McCarthy

      Rafael / ShawX / Chambers / Hutton / Moore

      Di Maria / Fabregas / Siggy / Sterling / Boyd

      Costa / Aguero / Welbeck

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        i prefer your team now (apart from the GKs obviously)

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks for helping me NOT to WC, really want Di Maria and a decent defence. Might just do Dummett to Duff or which other GK?

          1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            dummett to duff looks a good transfer.

            krul to any other GK is a good transfer!

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

    I like to wait until friday evening before making fpl transfers, but just wondering when prices change. I have enough in hand to bring in M. Schnider into my squad but dont want to wait if his price is likely to rise before friday.

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You don't want Schneiderlin.

      1. The Jackal
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        reason ?

        maybe Dyer ?

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He's not that attacking of a player and has no chance of keeping up this scoring record. If you've got Siggy I wouldn't want Dyer. I'd go for someone like Zaha if I was choosing a mid in that price range.

          1. The Jackal
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            yep got Siggy. I will look for other options then. TY

      A

    3. Sunny 😎

      A

    4. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Actually like Duff... more bonus points possible.

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A unless you have Williams already. Then B.

  6. Syd.

    25 minutes gone and not a shot insight

    1. Epic Fail

      You seem surprised.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Expected a bit more from Hull

  7. DogaKiTeam
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Whom to bench Dilemma

    Krul
    Vlaar Dier PVA
    Dyer/Fabregas [Siggy, Rambo, Di Maria]
    Naismith Costa Rooney
    Clyne Wisdom Foster

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Naismith

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bench Vlaar and Naismith. Play 3-5-2 including Clyne.

    3. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have similar dilemma between Tadic/fab/Naismith. Gonna bench Fab (Mourinho might do it anyways judging by Neville's MNF analysis of him defensively)

  8. Sunny 😎
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these moves looks better?

    A) Hazard âž¡ ADM

    B) Hazard âž¡ Chadli

    B leaves money to get Aguero/Falcao in later

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Still a

  9. Dr Dream

    Jelavic down...

  10. Syd.

    Jelly has gone wobbly

  11. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Oops jelly down

  12. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Baines not taken many(any) shots at goal but creating a lot of chances... being on penos negates the first point though but still not as impressive as i thought

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Look at the Everton defence hot topic.

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      When do Everton ever get pens? Never I tell ya. Never!

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        its weird innit.. if Everton have a season like pool had with penos last year Baines will prob cross 250 points 😯 .. i guess that's the gamblers hope with owning him

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Personally I think he's a bad pick but I seem to be in the minority.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      its baines though!! is he taking less set pieces/not as attackin as last season?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        oh wait.. just remembered i'm a member and i can check that 😆

    4. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Very lucky assist saturday

    5. Sunny 😎
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Baines has got amazing stats for a defender over the past few seasons and better than any other defender for that matter.

      But the timing has to be right. I feel it's a bit early to get him in but I could be wrong

    6. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He didn't score from open play last season, and he doesn't get many that way anyway... not what makes him appealing!

  13. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Time to ditch Chester unless it's confirmed he has a slight knock post game, can't be doing with non-playing defenders and no other urgent transfers this week.

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      My rival has rosenoir and Bruce
      And el-Ahmadi

      I laughed...

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have Duff 1st on bench, hoping Chester stays on bench!

  14. AgentRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain?

    Siggy-Haz-Ramsey-Sterling
    Costa-Rooney

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling or Ramsey IMO.

    2. Kvelertak
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Got burnt on Sterling this weekend, but he could explode again. Going Roo/Falcao if i pick up either myself.

      1. AgentRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers, on Rooney currently. Feel it's been a bit overlooked that he got a goal and assist at the weekend.

  15. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

    Don't know whether to (C) Sterling or Ronaldo for the Tuesday games on UCL. Ideas?

    • Lucy.
      • 12 Years

      So if Kaboul is Poch's captain, does that make him a decent FPL option as he's now definitely nailed on?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Except he is not playing very well, imo.

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          True but you'd fancy Spurs to be fairly solid compared to most of the league.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            I s'pose. Really don't understand it, though.

            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            alongside vertonghen with a run of games u would think they will look alot more solid and kaboul then being great value

            1. Lucy.
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

                without doubt.. with a fully fit and settled back 4 spurs under poch will be among the top of the clean sheets table come the end
