Hull City begin their first Premier League campaign since promotion with a difficult run of fixtures, but several budget-priced assets could still provide value in Fantasy Premier League. Here’s a look at the Tigers’ best FPL options based on their 2025/26 Championship performances, including goals, assists and expected roles this season.
Oli McBurnie (£5.5m – Forward)
- 2025/26 Championship stats: 18 goals, 7 assists in 45 appearances.
- Finished the season with 19 goals in all competitions, including the winning goal in the Championship play-off final.
- Averaged 0.74 goal contributions per 90 minutes, the best in Hull’s squad.
- Likely to start every league game as Hull’s first-choice striker.
- Excellent value at £5.5m and the standout Hull asset for FPL managers.
Ryan Giles (£4.5m – Defender)
- 2025/26 Championship stats: 0 goals, 8 assists in 32 appearances.
- Registered the most assists in Hull’s squad.
- Also led the team for chances created with 41.
- Attacking full-back who offers far greater upside than Hull’s centre-backs.
- Best Hull defender to own despite concerns over clean sheets.
Lewie Coyle (£4.0m – Defender)
- 2025/26 Championship stats: 0 goals, 4 assists.
- Club captain and virtually guaranteed starter.
- Played over 3,100 league minutes last season.
- Budget fifth defender who offers occasional attacking returns.
- Attractive mainly because of his £4.0m price tag.
John Egan (£4.0m – Defender)
- 2025/26 Championship stats: 3 goals, 0 assists.
- Hull’s biggest goal threat from defensive set-pieces.
- Led the team’s defenders for shots during the Championship season.
- Experienced Premier League defender who should remain first choice.
- Better pick for set-piece threat than clean-sheet potential.
Regan Slater (£4.5m – Midfielder)
- 2025/26 Championship stats: 2 goals, 2 assists.
- Created 36 chances, third-most in Hull’s squad.
- Started 35 league matches and is one of Sergej Jakirovic’s most trusted midfielders.
- Deep midfield role limits his FPL ceiling.
- Worth considering only as a budget enabler.
Konstantinos Tzolakis (£4.5m – Goalkeeper)
- Joined Hull this summer from Olympiacos for a club-record transfer fee and is expected to become the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
