Hull City FPL: Who To Own, Captain And Avoid
The call — Hull: the newly promoted side nobody should be shopping at — with one grudging exception Let's not dress this up. Our model has Hull with the second-blandest attack in the league and a defence ranked 17th of 20, and then the fixture computer hands them Manchester United at home first up, followed by Aston Villa, Chelsea away, Newcastle away and…
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?

So the question isn't "which Hull player do I want" — it's "do I need a Hull player at all". For most squads, no. Move along.
But if you're building a bench on a budget, here's the honest ledger. McBurnie at £5.5m tops our Hull list — around 13 points over the six, owned by roughly 2 in 10... sorry, 2 in a *hundred* — call it hardly anyone. That's a couple of points a game from a striker who'll be feeding on scraps against United and Chelsea. He's the best of the bunch precisely because he's the man Hull's attack runs through, not because the output excites anyone.
Tzolakis at £4.5m is the more interesting name for the accountants. A goalkeeper behind a leaky defence in tough fixtures sounds grim, but keepers who face a lot of shots collect saves, and our model still has him near McBurnie's total at a pound cheaper. Slater at £4.5m in midfield and the £4.0m pair of Mendy and Egan round it out — the defenders are pure bench fodder, and with clean sheets this scarce, that's all they'll ever be. Egan and Mendy project identically, which tells you everything: nobody's hauling here.
The caveat cuts the other way too: minimum-price defenders who actually start are rare, and Mendy at £4.0m has some value as the fifth defender you never intend to play. Just don't confuse "enabler" with "asset".
The call: avoid Hull's outfield players unless you're desperate for a £4.0m body — in which case Mendy, and keep him glued to the bench. The one I'd actually consider is Tzolakis as a £4.5m second keeper who'll rack up saves while your first choice does the real work. McBurnie only makes sense if your budget's already on fire. Frankly, the best Hull decision this window is spending your money elsewhere.
