Hull City FPL: Who To Own, Captain And Avoid
The call — Hull's defence is the third-meanest in our projections. Not eighth. Not "solid for a promoted side". Third. That's the sort of number that should make you look twice at a £4.5m goalkeeper nobody owns — and sure enough, Peter Tzolakis is the pick of the lot here. He tops our Hull list, he's projected around 15 points over the first…
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six 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.

Up front, Oli McBurnie at £5.5m is the next call, and the attack is no joke either — our model has Hull as a top-half attacking side over this run, helped by that kind fixture list. Around 13-14 points over six from a third-striker slot is honest work. He won't go massive; that's not the job. The job is not blanking every week while your money sits elsewhere.
In midfield, note the ordering: Slater at £4.5m sits above Belloumi at £5.0m in our list despite the projections looking similar. That's deliberate — Slater's the one our model trusts for the slot. If you want a fifth midfielder who actually plays, he's your man. Kaine Giles at £4.0m is the bench-fodder defender option, though at 7-8 points over six he's exactly that: fodder that occasionally starts.
The caveat, because there always is one: this is a promoted side, the sample is what it is, and Manchester United first up is a rude welcome. If GW1 goes badly, ownership won't move and neither will the price — which, frankly, suits anyone who got in early.
The call: buy Tzolakis. £4.5m for the third-best defence in our projections and a very kind run of fixtures is the closest thing to free money at the position. McBurnie's a sensible add if you need a cheap third forward. Get the keeper first.
