The arrival of Marcos Silva at the club has been a massive boost for the Tigers who have been impressive of late. Eldin Jakupovic has become their mainstay at the back. The keeper has been extremely reliable between the sticks and is at the moment the cheapest starting keeper in the game. For the price that he commands, Jakupovic has offered great returns with 26 points in five games.

Hull City have a string of favourable fixtures coming up and someone from their backline could help your team a lot. This week they face Burnley at home who have had a tough time away from home. The Tigers with superb defensive performances against Manchester United and Liverpool have ensured that their defence can be trusted once again.

Next 3 fixtures: Burnley(H), Leicester(A), Swansea(H)
