Hull City Vs Everton FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means

The call — Hull 2 Everton 2: Dewsbury-Hall returns 13, both keepers blank Kieran Dewsbury-Hall scored, assisted and took all three bonus points at the MKM Stadium on 11 October. Thirteen points. He played 90 minutes. He also cleared the extra-defending line, which padded the total. At £6.6m, about 1 in 10 managers own him.

That is the line from this match. Hull and Everton drew 2-2 in GW6. No clean sheet either way. Both goalkeepers blanked for their owners — and both are owned in numbers. Tzolakis (£4.7m, roughly 1 in 10 and the most-owned player on the pitch) made four saves and took 2 points. Pickford (£5.5m, about 1 in 10) took 1. Ajayi (£4.2m, also about 1 in 10) returned 1 point. If you hold Hull or Everton defence for clean sheets, this match paid nothing.

Everton's returns went forward. Thierno Barry (£5.7m, close to 1 in 10) scored and took 6 points in 85 minutes. Maitland-Niles (£4.5m, hardly owned) assisted from defence. Garner played 90 and took 4 via defensive work.

Hull's scorers are near-zero owned. Gelhardt (£5.0m) scored, took a bonus point and 8 points in 64 minutes before coming off. Thomas (£5.5m) assisted for 7. Belloumi (£5.1m) came on, scored inside 26 minutes and took 6. Belloumi is the most-owned Hull attacker at about 1 in 20 — but a goal from 26 minutes is one event, not a pattern, and his minutes were a substitute's.

Two yellow cards: McBurnie and Crooks, both Hull.

What it means for the deadline. Dewsbury-Hall is the actionable name. A goal, an assist, maximum bonus and defensive-clearance points in one match shows both routes to returns — he can score when Everton do and still collect when they don't. He is £6.6m and owned by about 1 in 20, so he is not template. One match is one match; that is the caveat, stated plainly.

The call: buy Dewsbury-Hall if you need a midfielder in that bracket. Hold Barry — he scored and played 85 minutes. Ignore the Hull attackers until one of them starts and repeats. And do not buy either defence off the back of this — a 2-2 is a 2-2.
