Fulham Vs Hull City FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Fulham 1-0 Hull City — GW7, October 17 Alex Iwobi scored, played 90 minutes, took maximum bonus and banked 11 points. He costs £5.4m. Hardly anyone owns him — fewer than 1 in 10, and not close. That is the haul of this fixture.

Fulham kept the clean sheet behind him, and the £4.5m bracket cashed in. Castagne returned 8 points with two bonus. Bassey also hit 8, built on a clean sheet plus the defensive-contribution points — he cleared that line with room to spare. Robinson took 7, Leno 6, Affengruber 6. Five Fulham defenders and a keeper, all £4.5m, all in profit on one afternoon. Berge added an assist and 5 points at £4.9m.
Now the lines the owners came for. Ajayi — Hull's most-owned asset here, roughly 1 in 10 managers — played 90 minutes and returned 2 points. Belloumi, owned by about 1 in 10, also returned 2. Egan did his defensive work — 12 contributions, the most on the pitch — but with no clean sheet it paid 4 points. Hull travelled, defended, and lost. Their FPL case rests on home fixtures, not days like this.
One more fact matters. Sessegnon came on, lasted 12 minutes, and was sent off. Minus 2 points and a suspension to follow. He is owned by almost nobody, but if he is in your squad, he sits — that is not a judgement call, it is the rulebook.
The decision. Iwobi at £5.4m is the eye-catcher, and the goal plus three bonus is a real return. But the repeatable story is the defence: Fulham kept Hull to nothing, and the whole back line is priced at £4.5m. Castagne is the pick — top-scoring of the defenders here, two bonus, and owned by roughly 1 in 10 managers or fewer. Bassey is the alternative at the same price if you want the defensive-contribution banker.
The call: buy Castagne at £4.5m. If you hold Ajayi, move him on for a Fulham defender and keep the change. And bench or sell Sessegnon — he cannot play either way.
