HUL V EVE Team News: The Confirmed Line-Ups

The call — Belloumi is on the Hull bench. The teamsheets for Hull City v Everton at the MKM Stadium (Saturday 11 October, 2pm UK) are in, and the £5.1m midfielder — owned by roughly 1 in 16 managers, the most-held player not starting this game — is named among the substitutes. If he's in your XI, he starts this gameweek with zero…

One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for five gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

Hull line up 5-4-1: Tzolakis; Coyle, Ajayi, Egan, Mendy, Giles; Thomas, Crooks, Slater, Gelhardt; McBurnie. Everton go 4-2-3-1: Pickford; Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Keane, Branthwaite; Garner, Armstrong; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry.

What that means for your team, in order of who the field actually owns:

Tarkowski (£6.2m, about 2 in 10) starts. The most-owned player on either sheet. He plays, you start him. Done.

Pickford (£5.5m, about 1 in 10) starts behind a back four containing Branthwaite and Keane. Starters start.

Barry (£5.7m, just under 1 in 10) leads the line for Everton against a five-man Hull defence. He's in. Play him.

Tzolakis (£4.7m, about 1 in 8) keeps goal for Hull with five bodies in front of him. If you own him, he's in your XI.

On the other side of the ledger: Grealish (£6.5m) and Garner (£6.0m) both start, and barely anyone has either — Grealish sits in about 1 in 200 squads, Garner fewer still. That's confirmed minutes almost nobody is getting. File it for future transfers rather than chasing it mid-gameweek.

One more Hull note: McBurnie starts up top at £5.5m with roughly 1 in 50 owning him, and Gelhardt gets a start in midfield with effectively zero owners. Hull's shape is five at the back — the attacking slots are thin.

The call is the one the sheets force. Belloumi sits, so he sits in your team too — move him to your bench if your deadline structure still allows it, and expect nothing if it doesn't. Tarkowski, Pickford, Barry and Tzolakis are confirmed starters: start all four. No captaincy case comes out of this fixture — look elsewhere for the armband.
